There were times when Israel was at least trying to be ambiguous about their possession of nuclear weapons. The famous

“not to be the first to introduce nuclear weapons into the area.”

Now we get junior ministers, half of the media and all the facebook discussing who should be nuked first. Mordechai Vanunu spent 2 decades in prison because of this crap.

We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to transition official government communications away from Twitter/X to more secure, community-regulated platforms that prioritise public safety, accurate information, and accessibility. We encourage the government to explore publicly accountable alternatives, including decentralised networks, to ensure reliable and responsible communication with Canadians.

Not a ban really (not in US banning tiktok sense), better.

…so they have a problem with female or black but not withgay or bisexual 🤔 Feels a bit random. edit: of course - the list isn’t complete 🤦‍♂️

None of those actually mention the vote in Ukrainian parliament, that is where the “unanimously” comes from 😇 I’ve looked through several sources and AJ English had it summarized the best 🤷‍♂️

off topic: not sure what are your reservations about AJ - soft power vehicle for Qatari gov?

This is really annoying for me 😇 . I am not one who would believe words of the Elon and I would say that intuitively it didn’t make financial sense but I’ve looked into it and to my surprise the numbers are actually getting kinda close:

• they claim they have 4 million customers - at 100 USD per customer / month x 12 - 4.8 billion USD. There will be some tax, but they have also deals with US military (StarShield) or GSM Operator and wide range of “enterprise services” , so I suspect the income could be at around those 5 billion USD from starlink alone.
• they did 90 launches last year maintaining and expanding the network. It’s hard to say how much a falcon 9 launch cost - but CNBC says it was sold for 67 million USD in 2022. Not sure how much margin Elon gets on a single launch, but 5 billion / 90 is over 55 million USD - which is right there in the area…

Now this is ignoring the cost of the satellites, the maintenance of 150 ground stations, development of the HW /SW, advertising and god knows what else - but still at least in the “ballpark numbers”.

To my unpleasant surprise - the Elon might not be joking on this one 🧐 - the Starlink might be one day paying for the development of the Starship - if it isn’t already 😲 Also - this is bloody cool 🤬

I’ve asked ChatGPT and it told me that “men tend to wash their jeans every 4-10 wears” . OP got me scared there for a moment 😅

🤓 Same thing popped up here in CZ, via Meduza and it is referring to 3 photos here on VK published March 5th. From what i gather from the Czech version the local branch of “United Russia” party responsible for these gifts retroactively claimed there was a range of products but the women on the pictures specifically asked for grinders. Suspiciously though - only 3 pictures, 3 different women, only grinders. The grinder is DEXP MG-2000s and could cost around 60 USD.

This is no joke. I am quite confident somewhere there in Polyarnye Zori (Полярные Зори) is one really offended local party official who was bloody happy about the price he got on these grinders here and really doesn’t understand what is everybody’s problem 😂 …

I blame him for MacBook unibody design that made whole generations of mbooks gone way too soon because of heat stress. But shiny metal pretty!

I blame him for the whole butterly keyboard fiasco that made me stop using MBooks.

I don’t blame him for smartphones because I don’t think he invented those.

how did everyone access the article?

I would like to know if its the same tired 40 year old argument on “sphere of influence” or actually something interesting at least from the “intellectual elasticity” point of view?

Hello. My name is John Doe and would like to ask you to remove my penis from your database… What do you mean “what does it look like”?!

More important is what they don’t say: not only that you will have to get used to a new keyboard, not only that the good docking stations aren’t ever coming back, but by the looks of it the keyboard is no longer going to be easily replacable “from the top” (I mean 60s ez), which is likely gonna limit the amount of these on 2nd hand market. Plus it looks like a 1st generation unibody MacBook, so let’s all look forward to HW issues due to heatstress. Even if they kept at least the magnesium rollcage ( unlikely IMO ) , even if the chasis wasn’t metal (which it looks like it is), I ain’t buying this crap. This was bound to happen though - the Dell Latitude line turned into total garbagefire like a decade ago.

Yet the stocks of funeral homes have remained unaffected. There is an opportunity here! /s

Asahi linux. AFAIK Linus Tovalds still uses Macs - he has done so at least since the Intel era. I am co nsidering buying one as first a sort of low power gaming console (on MacOs) and eventually as an efficient yet powerfull home server…

They are flying in “angle” mode? I can’t make even a half decent turn in angle mode. Somehow I suspect it isn’t because lacking skill. Maybee spotty connectivity makes drone in angle mode more reliable?

Hit it.
