But hey. In the flip side, the number of youth criminals in Australia has increased by multiple magnitude since.

Go read the SPD statements for some extra chuckles. "Because of the two leading parties having a head-to-head race we got squeezed out." (paraphrasing)

Yeah, no. You worked long and hard to get where you are. That effort took decades, nothing to do with the campaign quality or strategy of today...

Well... Who's gonna stop you, right?

But while we're on the topic... Which secrets manager did you use? I am on KeepassXC locally but I need something hosted with an API for some automation stuff...

Don't wanna go Vault or OpenBao because too much complexity etc...

Any suggestions?

Got you, fam. First design study is attached, we just need to figure out how big the total addressable market is for a Nacho making machine with a dough pack as a subscription...

I have a feeling this might be a multi-billion-market...

That reads like a pretty leading question.

What's with the option "Abolish ICE while still doing some kind of legal immigration law enforcement"?

I could imagine that that kind of question would have a pretty big number behind it...

Please. Rumsfeld was a master of statecraft, strategy and diplomacy.
At least compared to these clowns.

Also, if there’s an option, pay on the web and not in the app. It’s usually cheaper because no platform tax.

To support what Nick says: You should pay.
The filters make you more efficient and the overall experience gets less annoying because fewer frustrating matches.

The costs also quickly amortize. After a handful of wasted dates, the money spent on transport and drinks quickly exceeds the sub.

And it kinda fits: The KSA has been involved in a bunch of MENA clashes but by themselves they've been mostly meddling in Yemen. For decades, with very little to show for. The Houthis are more entrenched than ever...

But the KSA has done a lot of parades in the meantime... πŸ˜‚

My current (unfinished) theory is something along the lines of militaries that hold parades can't fight...
I'm unclear on Brits or French military but overall the theory seems to hold up pretty well...

List of wars involving Saudi Arabia - Wikipedia

I am honestly not sure if the problem is just corruption but it doesn't really matter. The results count.

And while I'm not a Saudi military knower I know how to read however. And reading en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of... does not look like the KSA has an effective military, just an expensive one.

01.03.2026 15:16 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

But see, that's my point.

That list just says that the Saudi military is just one of the most expensive militaries in the world.

Doesn't say anything about power or ability. And the Russian military has been showing how bad they are... Good baseline to compare against.

Did anyone check if the most powerful military was any better than the second most powerful military in the world?

Ich jedenfalls nicht.

Andererseits war die USA schon immer deutlich gewillter als z.B. Deutschland, Industriepolitik zu betreiben unter der Γ„gide der nationalen Sicherheitsinteressen. FirmenΓΌbernahmen durch auslΓ€ndische Unternehmen wurden da z.B. schon immer kritisch beΓ€ugt als hier.

The problem is, if you are always calling bubble, you will eventually be correct.

Great, so you’ve correctly predicted the bubble and everybody forgets about the 15 years prior you’ve been declaring the bubble without it popping.

Still not great yet now everyone remembers you for being right.

Always has been gender meme.

Always has been gender meme.

Nah. It’s only body-dysmorphia if it’s from the icky region of Girlstown where there are cooties.

If it’s from the manly Chaddington area, then it’s looksmaxxxing and there’s a proud subreddit for it. Ohhh-rahhhhh!

Slang? What slang is regime using here?
Droplet? That’s not slang Iβ€˜d say but a specific product name, similar to e.g. ec2 for AWS.

Slang would be β€žSo regime is trying shellmaxxxing but his sshd does not slap. fr no cap.β€œ or something like that.

Accurate.

But while I would prefer the EU politicians to find some courage, tell the guy to fuck off and fix all their local problems by end of business on Friday, it is kinda inspirational to see at least some international actors still acting in accordance with their rules and regulations.

Yeah. This is pure propaganda from the same newsroom that was busy sanewashing the idiotβ€˜s campaign.

For a reality check go open up Tinder in Salt Lake City and check how many profiles specify β€œno LDS”.
There’s no popular upswing in Mormons or their fans but there’s a PR campaign to insinuate that.

The summary for that thread is: It is really hard to judge the effectiveness of masks from existing studies. They are all shit in different ways. And we wrote down why it’s hard.

What’s probably true: Masks do help, especially if you wear them around sick people. Even more if they wear them.

You need to see the night train from the front.

I’m telling you, that train is a total stoner. Just look at those eyes.

Das kannst du so nicht behaupten.

Man hΓΆrt ja sehr selten von deutschen Hackergruppen.
Das Gesetz hilft also zweifelsohne.

Wir mΓΌssen nun dafΓΌr sorgen, dass das Ausland und der russische Feind auch den selben Paragraphen in ihre Gesetze schreiben.

Dann gilt Computersicherheit endlich weltweit.

When the US government claims that China has ambitions and that's why the US needs to annex a country the right response is _not_ to find some flimsy excuse and present that as proof of Chinese ambitions.

The right response is: The US is presenting lies in order to justify an illegal annexation.
