According to wikipedia, among other things:

In 2012 (by far Ukraine’s most successful year of arms export)[11]Ukraine had the status of world’s 4th largest arms exporter.

If they were the worlds 4th then they were likely doing a lot more than just the former USSR.

They already were prior to the Russian invasion.

I want the military to maliciously comply with this.

One Army solder marches by

One mile later one Marine marches by

One mile later a lone Navy sailor marches by

One mile later one USAF pilot marches by

One mile later a member of the USCG marches by.

It really pisses me off that these children are dying due to the ignorance and intolerance of their parents and other adults around them.

Offer Teslas at 50% off to the farmers! They get an EV at a bargain price, Tesla sales (and stock) booms. Or better yet the federal government just buys all the surplus Teslas and gives them away to farmers for free. Two problems solved with a single incentive, and it shows he cares about the environment after all!

Tesla still had a small edge over the competition.

Too bad they wasted it all on things like “fart mode” and games instead of useful features like improved speech recognition and integrating it with things like the radio, Bluetooth, etc.

I’m one-and-done with my Model Y. I got it shortly after the Y was released in part because I felt it was a decent EV for the price at the time, and in part because their Supercharger network is a nice option to have (and I’ve used it a fair amount).

Even if Musk wasn’t such a public buffoon and acted more like other auto industry CEO’s I wouldn’t buy another Tesla either. The vision-only system sucks not only in inclement weather, but bright sunny conditions as well. It’s also terrible at detecting rain for auto-wipers, oncoming cars for auto high beams, etc. The build quality of the cyber trucks is sketchy. They haven’t made any significant design changes in years, other than maybe replacing the steering wheel with a yoke (and I refuse to even ride in a car with one). They seem too proud of creating things like “fart mode” and holiday light/music shows instead of something actually useful like improved speech recognition & more robust voice commands (“tune radio to wxyz”???) and on and on…

The way I see it, when it’s time to replace my Model Y there will be plenty of other competitive EV choices from big automakers like Honda, Toyota, etc. as well as newer ones like Rivian. And now that the Tesla charger has become an SAE standard and non-Teslas can charge at Superchargers there’s even less incentive to stick with a Tesla EV.

Ukraine will likely get assistance from more than just EU countries. And once things are safe again I wouldn’t be surprised to see Ukrainians around the world returning home to help rebuild etc. You can’t say the same of Russia I don’t think.

Ukraine had a very robust economy before the war, exporting everything from food to military hardware. Given what they have learned about UAV’s, etc. in the past 3 years they likely stand to regain a strong military industry once again after this is all settled. They’re already manufacturing some of their own military gear for the war, and once the war is over it should be fairly easy for them to turn all that into an export industry.

Yeah, but how many 18-40 year old men are still in rural Russia that haven’t already been fed to the meat grinder or were lucky enough to get out of the country first?

Sooner or later these conscriptions are going to hit bigger cities, although they’ll likely be used to backfill non-combat positions while others are sent to Ukraine. But even that can go on for only so long…

He probably legitimately believes white males have a natural immunity to HIV, so only minorities & women will be harmed by this.

Welp, there go all our business deals with France.

What ever happened to Cloudflares wall of lava lamps?

I think it would require massive changes from the top down:

• New CEO
• New Board of Directors
• Focus on quality over stupid gimmicks like fart mode
• Focus on existing issues over self-driving moonshot that’s been promised & delayed for close to a decade now.

And so on…

There’s Campobello Island in far downeast Maine. The island is Canadian and it’s only direct access to the mainland is a bridge to Maine.

Campobello Island in Maine is the exact opposite. It’s on the Canadian side of the border but their only land route is a bridge to Maine.

I somehow doubt they’ll be voting to join the US any time soon though.

No no no. It’s only welfare if you get it. It’s critical operating capital if they get it.

We have a handful of Python tools that we require to adhere to PEP8 formatting, and have Jenkins pipeline jobs to validate it and block merge requests if any of the code isn’t properly formatted. I haven’t personally tried it yet, but I wonder if these AI’s might be good for fixing up this sort of formatting lint.

Why even connect the tv to your local network?

Trump just has to say it’s all the fault of the radical corrupt left, led by Obama’s tan suit and Hillary’s emails colluding in the basement of that Pizza place in DC, and the MAGAts will blindly accept it as undeniable gospel.
