  • It's not a surprise, really. The proposal was sponsored by the Russian Federation and includes several talking point that they have since actively used to justify their fucking invasion of Ukraine (I.e. Nazis working to disrupt democracies cross-border).

  • You would be correct: https://digitallibrary.un.org/record/1654458?ln=en&v=pdf

    At the 44th meeting, on 6 November, the representative of the Russian
    \ Federation, on behalf of Algeria, Armenia, Bangladesh, Belarus, Bolivia
    \ (Plurinational State of), Burundi, China, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea,
    \ Eritrea, Kazakhstan, the Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Mali, Myanmar,
    \ Nicaragua, the Niger, Nigeria, Pakistan, the Russian Federation, the Sudan, the Syrian
    \ Arab Republic, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Venezuela (Bolivarian Republic of), Viet Nam
    \ and Zimbabwe, introduced a draft resolution [...]

    At the [48th] meeting, the representative of the Russian Federation made a statement.

    Also at the same meeting, statements were made by the representatives of Kyrgyzstan (on behalf of the Collective Security Treaty Organization, composed of Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, the Russian Federation, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan), Belarus, the Russian Federation and South Africa.

  • They're better make it so the context menu doesn't take 2s to fully load while moving the bottom rows around first.

    Bitch, every valid action for a file is in the diving registry, sorted by file type. Why do you need to think about this?

  • None of these have anything even remotely close to 4k textures. We can argue all day about whether or not those are required for "good graphics" (I don't think so either). But there's no amount of optimization that compresses those textures without losing the fidelity you're using them for.

    It's got absolutely nothing to do with the engine or optimization.

  • I've seen an article about submerged concrete spheres being used as pump energy storage. Here's the relevant press release.

    75% efficiency seems pretty decent considering you're not as reliant on geographical locations (or at least get a lot more options)

  • Yeah, I have a CD with some x rays lying around here somewhere.

    Although the MRT images I got done recently were accessed via QR code (+password) on an online portal, so yay progress.

  • In all the examples listed in the response, the inviter must explicitly be the owner of the house:

    Although that just leaves us with the question about who is considered the owner. I'm a renter, so would that be me, or my landlord?

    Fun fact: In German, this boils down to which translation of "owner" is used. I'm the "Besitzer" of my apartment (I possess it), but not the "Eigentümer" (I cannot sell it).

  • English needs a major spelling reform, but there's no way to actually implement one. In order to match spelling to pronunciation, you would be to have a well-defined "high English" pronunciation.

    But any semblance of uniform pronunciation doesn't even exist within the UK (or even just England), much less across the entire English-speaking world, including places like Canada, Kenya, Nigeria, Australia, New Zealand, India, and many, many more countries.

    And even if you somehow manage to create something (this is basically how "high German" was created, after all), good luck getting all the different governments to adopt the reformed spelling.
