I assumed that was the point of think tanks.

They are all paid. So tend to exist to further corporate interests. Such interests rarely align with society as a whole.

It is basically paying smart people, to lobby the voters, as well as politicians.

They also didn’t intentionally starve the populace, that was a byproduct of pissing off the world.

Given they destroyed ship delivering food to the UK. Knowing the UK imported something like 50+% of all food at the time.

The UK also did much the same. Bombing rail etc.

Starving the population was an intentional side effect of trying to limit resources getting to an enemy.

So the honest answer is things were less efficient.

But starvation has been a common practice since rome. Salting the fieilds etc. And likely before then.

Honestly the Geneva convention was the first time anyone expected otherwise.

Grins.

Nah. If i wanted revenge id put windows on it.

They just need an internet PC with Libreoffice.

This is so true.

I have been using Linux since the mid 90s. Exclusively since about 2005.

I am obviously getting old now. But my willingness to remember the structure of rarly used commands/options. Has always been limited. If its not something I do often. It generally involves looking up man pages. And more often then not a GUI is just faster.

GUI has improved hugly in the time I have been using Linux. To the point that now it really is quicker if I’m not already in the terminal.

But as soon as things get to the multiple command level. Or complex enough that looking up is needed anyway. Typeing is just faster. Being all in one window makes a huge difference. But also once things get to the need to look up point. Command lines are just easy and quick to share online etc. So it tends to be the easy way for forums etc to share guidelines etc.

For all GUI has improved. Text is still one of the easiest ways to share data. It allows things to be organised and jumped around from point to point.

I am teaching an ex GF to use a new Linux PC for the first time. (Put it together as a wedding gift)

I tend to tell her to switch between GUI and command line as best suits her. As long as you understand the goals of each step write or wrong is whatever seems easiest for the user.

But it is important t to become comfortable with the terminal. Because this is how others will share info. And she will need to be able to understand what they are telling her to do.

Online trolls still exist. So understanding things like

sudo rm -rf /

Is essential before typing it.

About 1% of the nigerian population. In one year.

That os a freaking frightening number.

But Iran on the cusp. Very much dose.

This. Just require all gov products and documentation to be open. (unless military and even then open were possible)

Creating a new distro is not needed. Let users or nation gov bodies select or create as they see fit.

Given their diet. Pretty sure that would increase methane production.

Was Ukraine considered very socialist before Russia invaded?

European countries

Interesting choice of tittle?

All ICC members is more than Europe. 122 countries. Not the US but other than that his travel is pretty limited.

The USA is an Allie of Ukraine. And was helping it fund its defence against Russia before their attack.

It’s like your bullshit about the start of the first world war. The UK had a treaty that Germany thought we would ignore. They were warned if they attacked the nation, we would defend them.

That is how international support works. When nations like Russia ignore internarial agreements they make, they threaten the whole world’s peace by making it clear their word is not to be trusted.

The whole fucking idea that Russia can attack its neighbours and the rest of the world must mind its own business is a fucking crap attempt to bully the world. Its no more than an attempt by a bully to gaslight the world and unworthy of consideration.

And before you bring it up. Yes, I know the US can be no better when it comes to being an international bully. Does not give Russia an excuse to ignore its own internatioal treaties and threaten the world.

Accept, Russia broke international law when it attacked Ukraine. As it broke its own treaties to respect 1996 borders in exchange for Ukraine giving up its nukes.

So nope. Also, the only reason Ukraine is not a part of NATO. Is that same treaty where they agreed not to join.

So anyway, you try to argue this. If Russia is the first to launch nukes. They started WW3.

So you’re saying Russia has never struck inside Ukraine. Or somehow The US started the war in Ukraine.

Or is it just a freaking stupid idea that one nation can attack another. And expect them not to retaliate.

The U.S. has traditionally taken a key leadership role,

That is a freaking arrogant claim. Exxon was the first to discover global warming. Amd shared the data. Was then rapidly reformed and started the global warming denyal fight.

America took the key role in fighting against the reduction of oil use from the early 80s. And as a nation has been little more then green washing ever since.

Comon attitude among older techs. I imagine its a bit like gen z on phones.

Messaging seems immediate and demanding where as email seems to give the recipient a answer when you have time feel.

Its about not growing up with IM while email was treated like an extention to paper memo systems many work environments already used. More so as the system is older then the Internet. So many office networks had inter office email In the early 80s. And inter offfice memo systems like a little postal system were common in big companies for decades before that.

This. Ignoring the questionable source.

Other than denying Kerch bridge has anything to do with the UK. And they have provided 0 evidence to indicate it was.

Nothing they claim in any way disagrees with the UK open policy on Ukraine. Even if the UK blow Kerch bridge. It would be seen as supporting Ukraine’s own desire to keep their territory. Rather than anyway, proving that Ukraine would want to surrender without the UK “Plotting to keep them fighting”

Nothing here at all disagrees with the goals openly declared by the UK government. Under both current and previose leadership.

yeah, auto correct.

Only fails to make sense. If you failed to read any significant portion of the said wall of text.

It was a wall because It was detailed in the history of solar power. Ill ELI5 for you.

We have funded solar power for decades. By allowing the industry to charge equal to other fuels. Meaning, for 20 years or more, companies have been trying to build solar plants all over the nation. And those that got there made a fucking fortune. Until the Tories ended part of it nearly 14 years ago. They stopped the subsidies. But still paid the same rate as more expensive power.

The problem with building solar is the politics from farmers and local communities. As the text described.

So

Solving politics is cheap and fast.

Utter crap. Solar power companies have been trying for 20 years.

Its not like you came up with a new idea.

Of building solar over nuclear. We have been trying for decades.

Wondering if anyone who knows the language/region.

Can confirm the terms they use. Because age of consent when its clear the child is not able to express a chioce or old enouth to understand what they would be agreeing to.

Seems like a western interpretation. Or are the laws there really that hypocritical in their terminology.

Get defs correct

Congress sent wespons to ukraine.

Trump broke the law and delayed the funding in an attempt to blackmail ukraine over US election properganda.
