  • As someone who has been dealing with Russian propaganda, it works in one of two ways:

    Way I: divide and divide

    1. Find an issue that divides your enemy.
    2. Amplify fringe voice on the issue, make the most divisive element into the most vocal one.
    3. Once the fringe becomes more popular, amplify the opposing voice to grant legitimacy to the fringe elements.
    4. Watch the fireworks.

    Notable examples: environmental movements in the west, antivax, Black/Blue Lives Matter

    Way II: post modernist bullshit

    1. We are maybe right
    2. We are maybe wrong
    3. You can't trust us
    4. You can't trust them
    5. You can't trust anyone or anything
    6. Nothing can be true or can ever be verified

    Harder to point at examples, but if anything becomes an issue that's talked about you will see a lot of articles that talk a lot and say little to muddy the waters and make the public doubt the truth.

  • Trains. Just use trains. Easy to ship large shipments, easy to electrify.

  • Investing as a whole is better started earlier than later.

  • Cheese curd and chocolate snacks are very popular in the Baltics and some of them taste amazing.

  • Yes, I paint in free time and getting the right shade of green to make natural scenes look realistic is extremely difficult.

  • Not really. It still has a price to book ratio of 9.10, which is still ridiculous for a car company.

    For comparison:

    Toyota is 1.21

    Ford is 1.05

    Honda is 0.66

    VW is 0.38

    Nissan is 0.36

    The price-to-book ratio, or P/B ratio, is a financial ratio used to compare a company's current market value to its book value (where book value is the value of all assets minus liabilities owned by a company).

  • Brew a bunch of Fortify Intelligence potions, drink them, brew some more, repeat. Later make Fortify Strength potion, gives 1000+ strength for over an hour, one hit kill everyone.

  • I think he meant "therapist"

  • Does anyone else remember the "Yeah boiiii" game where you jump over obstacles?

  • Yes it's super weird that porn sites had that functionality for over a decade and one of the world's largest tech companies still can't implement those.

  • More like a firearm. Not that I have handled many firearms.

  • You could also use one of those silicone mouse pads.

  • Cuda

  • I don't know what any of this means, upvoted everything anyway.

  • https://sandberg.world/en-us/product/wireless-vertical-mouse-pro

    I use this one, mostly because it was pretty cheap, is wireless and has a rechargeable battery.

    I would splurge a little more now that I like using a vertical one, but I was afraid of spending a lot just to shelve it for eternity like I did with some other devices...

  • I haven't tried a lot of those, but it would take a lot of practice to achieve similar accuracy.

  • I have never done that, actually. My wife, on the other hand...

  • I wonder how good IntelliJ's support for joystick is.

  • Russia suffered a widespread internet outage affecting users across the country, with access to websites on the local .ru domain down.

    The issue was linked to a technical problem with the .ru domain’s global Domain Name System Security Extensions, or DNSSEC, which is used to secure data exchanged in internet protocol networks, Russia’s Digital Ministry said in a statement on Telegram Tuesday.

    The ministry said later Tuesday that the problem had been resolved and access restored.

    Websites including the most popular local search engine Yandex.ru, ecommerce leaders Ozon.ru and Wildberries.ru, and apps of the country’s biggest banks — Sberbank PJSC and VTB Group — were all affected by the outage, state-run Ria reported, citing Downradar, a traffic monitoring service.

    Disruptions were reported in Moscow, the Moscow region, St. Petersburg, Tatarstan and the Sverdlovsk and Novosibirsk regions, Ria said.

    Sberbank and VTB didn’t immediately reply to an emailed request for comment. Yandex declined to comment.
