Because any country fighting a war on defense against aggressors/invaders knows that the path to winning is to hold strong, wait out the clock, and drain resources from the enemy. Something as essential as that will cause urgency to redirect resources and personnel to replace/repair and then better defend it so that it doesn’t just immediately happen again. This makes defense easier because there’s less of an offense while that’s happening. This also can cause internal loss of support since Russian citizens can see the costs of this going up. They will know people who were sent to die on the front lines. They will see taxes go up and availability of goods go down. Once Russian citizens start to question and criticize the campaign, there could be a snowball effect that ends with Putin and his cronies having to make a choice between stopping the invasion or losing power. I don’t think Putin will ever stop, so the real choice will be desperate attacks (which could include nukes, triggering article 5 and effectively ending Russia) or a coup. Putin has checkmated himself whether he is aware of it yet or not. His best case scenario at this point is dying of natural causes in office and leaving that hard decision to his successor who will probably back down and be a pariah for it, saving Russia in the process.

Why aren’t you buying our planes?

Umm, because planes are supposed to fly and remain intact?

:o

Employees are just numbers to them.

But unlike other numbers, those numbers must go down.

No, this is how quickly you are supposed to age. You just didn’t realize how much time has passed. The movie that this is from is 26 years old.

Why even bother with the premise of whether it’s a valid military target or not? Russian attacks don’t discriminate based on that. Equal retaliation would mean that Ukraine could invade Russian territory and attack civilians in Russian cities, but they don’t because Ukraine is a nation of decent folk.

That’s not true at all. Watch the video I linked. You can control CPU fan, GPU fan, and any case fan from this one elegant piece of software. And you can establish fan curves based on thermostats. So for example, with high CPU load and low GPU load, normally your CPU would hotbox your whole system; with this you can tell your GPU fan to ramp up based on CPU temps to get ahead of heat soak and start ventilating more before the GPU ever sees that heat.

I haven’t tried it myself yet, but Fan Control looks incredibly promising. I keep going back and forth about whether it makes sense to build a desktop, so I’m just gathering lots of info for whenever I finally pull the trigger lol.

Or what? Israel ain’t stopping just because somebody said so. Slap them with real consequences.

Wait, you think that racism is new? Where were you during pretty much every history class ever?

As seen on TV, until used on the press.

9 out of 10 fascists choose Lockheed Martin to cleanse their regions of targeted scapegoats and the media.

Not the person you’re asking, but vote for better people in local elections and primaries. The time to choose a better leader for this issue was every election before this one. Vote for better people now to solve tomorrow’s problems. Democracy is a constant battle for the future.

Same. I started with a couple of friends around when it became F2P. They live in another city, so that plus voice chat is just how we catch up and chill, usually with a few drinks and with some dumb jokes here and there. We’re familiar with the controls and systems and everything, so doing anything else has the barrier to entry of learning a whole new thing. R6 Siege looks cool but complicated. I don’t get Destiny 2. FC24 is pretty good but I’m not sure it has the same staying power for us as RL.

“The good stuff” is still poison, just milder and tastes better.

Being right isn’t cheap.

What?

Hey!

Aw who am I kidding, I know my country’s bloodstained history despite my public education. I wish I could say it was in our past and that we’re better now, but we’re literally funding this exact genocide. 🫠

How is this world news? Idc who this celebrity I’ll never meet prefers to fuck.

Cricket

Whoa. Great recommendation! I’d never seen/heard that!
