The factual link you posted (not the commentary on CATO, lol) says the opposite. NATO cut ties after Putin began turning aggressive as Ukraine began gaining independence.

Less juicy than some here.

I keep getting ads about my employer - a B2B / B2E business. Not sure how Facebook thinks I may be a purchaser at a business. I am not.

From what I understand (I may be understanding little), Saudis responded opposite the western requests and seemingly in coordination with Russia cut output, and have been cutting output. Driving up energy prices and overall inflation. There seems to be some power play happening between the Saudis and Biden if I am reading the news correctly.

Mod tools are not Lemmy. Give admins and mods an option. Even a paid one. Hell. Admins of Lemmy.world could have us donate extra to cover costs of api services.

Yea. But only one of them signed a capitulation/surrender to Taliban. I still do not get what Biden was supposed to do given the terms of Trump’s capitulation (“cease fire”).

It just stinks of W signing the order that we withdraw from Iraq and then everyone pisses on Obama for abiding by the agreement W wrote and signed.

Never forget who signed the deal to give the country back to Taliban.

To add to others’ posts. It can be a huge variety of things that risk making the service unstable, unresponsive, and worst case could corrupt data in flight.

Customers view scheduled maintenance as minor inconvenience. Unplanned outage as an annoyance, and loss of data as a dealbreaker.

So any time there was a chance that what we need to do would limit functionality - or otherwise make the system unstable - best to take the system offline for scheduled maintenance.

Basically also why Swedish barns are red. I presume those two stories and red barn origins are related.

Thanks. That will not work. IO68 is not waterproof. It’s not a reason enough to not have a replicable battery. We have had ip68 phones with removable backs and user swappable batteries. We can have it again.

Re Weaselling from EU rules: do you have a source? I am very interested.

When it’s hard to toss a man out of a window. Or shoot or poison him. Just down his plane. Easy.

Danes love these explicit names. Poultry is “fjerkræ”. Literally beaked beasts.

You’re just reiterating my points. Yes they are better. And for people without a choice living in car dependent he’ll holes - an improvement.

But the fact that you live in a car dependent he’ll hole is another failure of our society - and prevents you from using much better options.

We should be addressing the root cause. Not the symptom.

In functional societies, EVs are a small improvement. The noise and carcinogen pollution, land use impact and simple danger to soft street users are key damages ALL cars make to spaces occupied by people.

Finally - I am tired of “we need cars for those with impairments / to reliever things / other bullshit.” We do not. It’s just the completely broken car-dependent American perspective.

Same.

Seems to violate TOS of both app stores and likely a few laws in key markets.

But Elon never gave a hoot.

Two failures do not make a right.

The point above stands. EVs do little for the environment. Compared to sensible options like transit and biking and walking they are marginally better, but hm hardly at all.

Just finished a book from the 1930s by a Czech author Karel Čapek called War with the Newts.

It’s sci-fi based on earth in 1930s but what I found the most interesting is

1. seeing an author from 1930s write and think on paper (casual racism and sexism, for example),
2. the echoes of the looming WWII
3. the retro futurism - I love seeing what people from the past imagined would happen with technology. They are often right, often cutely wrong.

There’s bound to be either an government funded animal control or private animal removal service in your area. You can search of the public service first. They can tell you if there willing to handle this. And if not can likely point you in the direction of the private service.

Or are you asking for options other than calling animal control?

Obviously.

And it’s not necessarily corporate. Lemmy.world has been a target and it’s just a bunch of volunteers.

I get their desire to minimise their exposure to various attack including legal.
