This is really about habits. I used to be a night owl, but changed my habits gradually and now I'm a morning person. You might have some genetic predisposition towards staying up late, but even so this is something that you can change, I believe.

What helped me, is that I started enjoying waking up early a lot more than staying up late.

I believe that to be true. The frontlines were not well established yet towards the end of 2022 so a push to take back Melitupol would have been possible if they had all the equipment that they used for their push in June 2023. But by then the Russians had dug in and mined the entire frontline and that push (predictably) failed and was abandoned as it would be too costly in lives to continue.

That would have cut the land bridge, which in turn would have enabled the Ukrainians to make Crimea an untenable position (no land bridge, closer to the Kerch strait bridge).

So yes, having the necessary equipment before the Russians were dug in would've made a massive difference imo. Not saying they would have retaken it, but their odds would have been a lot more favourable.

It's not a surprise anymore when every medical is 3000% inflated by default

I wanted to get back to you on this to thank you for the sources. Much appreciated.

From article 5 from the NATO treaty actually. It states that it applies to attacks from external actors, i.e. non-members.

Edit: the article or nato treaty doesn't state it that explicitly actually. But a quick google show that it's at least the consensus interpretation

Well, article 5 doesn't apply then. Other agreements may still apply.

Yes, it does. It's usually for OS updates/installation sticks or configuration files for stuff like switches, meeting bars, conference phones, etc... and not for data transfer.

I regularly format usb drives to fat32 with windows. You just need to use diskpart.

Get used to it. The US isn't just shooting itself in the foot, it's creating a ball pit full of mines and jumping in head first.

Do you have any sources I can read up on? This is the first I hear of this.

Especially because he has always been a staunch atlanticist with a ton of connections in the US. That and the fact this comes from Germany, the most pro-US country, barring the UK, in Europe, gives his words extra gravitas.

After that he can tackle the weasel outbreak in the white house.

Can't tell if these are joke names or real. Since there is that X-AE whatever name, I assume they are real ...

Vader being woke as shit. Expect an executive order to ban Star Wars.

I actually didn't quite remember the reason, so I checked it. The rounding is one main reason and the fact it is so heavy it requires a drivers license for trucks, as well as basically no demand. So no build quality requirements failed, but definitely safety related.

There's a reason why the EU won't allow the sale of cybertrucks and it all has to do with build quality and safety.

Edit: strikethrough added based on incorrect assumption as pointed out below

Our tabby cat doesn't even try to go for plausible deniability and goes straight for a mouthful of cat leg, preferably when the other cat is chilling.

I laughed way too hard at this. Thanks for brightening my day

Strongly depends on the company. I have done this exact thing several times when something was critical and it was actually noted as one of the reasons they told me as to why I got my last promotion. Something like "staying focused on the issue at hand while respectfully managing the pushback from the business while still moving ahead with the urgent fix."

Basically I told the business to shove it in a very polite way and fixed the issue.

Yes, it was. It was all over lemmy for several days.
