Say more please? What's the advantage?

Interesting! Any list of good TUI games on Linux?

They say a good opening should capture the viewer... Well they slaughtered it here.

What they should and what they will being entirely separate of course, but I agree they should take it away irrespective of if he keeps his diplomatic and etc. It would be a good sign of not being above the law, like he's trying to be.

Indeed, Russia still has some currency reserves, the shadow gas fleet, huge increase in domestic production of arms, and has some how kept it's GDP growth up. Not that it doesn't have issues on it's horizon, but time is still there to wiggle around them. Also you are correct about Ukraine, many reasons to be enthusiastic, but Winter still looks like it might be rough.

And Trump, well yea still many days to the election and he may yet pull Vance's thumb out of his ass. Can't say I don't like the nice poll numbers from swing states though, seems like Harris has some good appeal to the swing voters.

While empathize with the sentiment, if pay alone is figured, $174k for two households (one in DC, one in their district) plus flights and etc doesn't allow for a huge amount of savings especially if you are in a high cost of living district.

Now do they nearly always find ways to supplement that pay in legal ways, yes. But the question is do we want them beholden to those supplement ways? Or do we want them clear thinking and loyal to the voters who put them there?

Not going away from Proton myself, but yes this is damned infuriating. Although I'd deal with a reliable Android app. The Beta Android looks good, but why Proton has struggled so much with Android is beyond my current digging.

People are doing work to figure out how bad the famine will be..

As a seafarer who moves through the world, arguing out of timezones is an uphill battle. (Minus the half hour timezone insanity.)

Daylight savings on the other hand, can be dropped like the smelly turd it is.

Factoring in the current year inital cost and MBTF, did you figure out an ROI on HDD vs Flash including Power and space?

SEOUL, Dec. 1 (Yonhap) -- The Air Force said Friday it has decided to retire an F-35A stealth jet as it was seriously damaged by a bird strike in January 2022.

The Air Force said a comprehensive analysis with its U.S. manufacturer, Lockheed Martin, showed that the F-35A suffered damage in about 300 components, including the airframe, structure, engine and control and navigation system.

Considering the high costs and long period needed for repairs and other security concerns, the Air Force's review committee concluded that it is better to retire the aircraft than to fix it. The plan will be finalized with the defense ministry's approval.

The repair cost of the aircraft, one of 40 F-35As in the Air Force, was estimated at approximately 140 billion won (US$107.6 million), higher than its unit acquisition cost estimated at 110 billion won, according to military officials.

The Air Force said it will consider various ways to make use of the retired aircraft, including its potential use in mechanics' training.

I wonder if this is what started Ukraine on the track to get the M1150 Assault Breacher Vehicle. The line charges in particular seem like they might help solve some of the momentum issues.

Mind you that's mostly non-liquid accounting of his stock and assets. Not that he'll have to worry about what he spends, but it's not cash in the bank billions.

Has someone written this up as a how to? Same as you want to abandon, but still a few niches.

What feeds do you watch? Anything stand out? Thanks for the tip on the app!

Anyone else use NewsBlur Apps or WebApp. They have a free and paid, which works well enough to aggregate the sites I need to get a diverse news collection in an RSS like format.

I still miss google reader and past times, but gotta adapt.

In general I don't disagree that CNN a corporation which has a fiduciary bias to it's peers in the news it promotes. That is a bias of corporate person hood.

Many other issues there, but I'm curious on a spectrum in the US and in comparison to other similar organization in the US, how you would place CNN? Right leaning? Center? Far right?

Ah so you have a methodology, which is experience based, uses your individual knowledge? Can you explain how you judge political bias, so others can use it?

I applaud your interest in self-reliance, but how do you determined you are not being manipulated by either side?

It's getting it's info from Media Bias Fact Check so explain to me how their method is wrong? You prefer All Sides. Or Ad Fontes Media? Both of which also say leaning left.
