Given their genocide in Western Ukraine I'd say that letting Russia overrun the country will result in a lot of deaths.

They don't break down completely in landfill. They just turn into microplastics.

Despite claims to the contrary, PLA does usually break down into microplastics. It's possible that under certain conditions (such as those found in industrial composters) those microplastics might be broken down into starches and consumed by bacteria, but most teabags will just end up in landfill and won't break down beyond microplastics.

ISO uses a weird separator 'T' between the time and the date. eg. 2018-04-01T15:20:15.000-0700

RFC3339 can have a space instead which is a bit more readable: eg. 2020-12-09 16:09:53+00:00

Kaliningrad's fairly strategically useless to them now that every surrounding country's NATO though. The Suwałki Gap between Kaliningrad and Belarus used to be pivotal in potentially re-taking control of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. It would have been very difficult for NATO defend them if Russia took the gap. But now those countries are protected by NATO countries all around so Kaliningrad's a lot less useful strategically. Not to mention that there's a strong Kaliningrad independence movement so they're struggling to control it internally as well.

This is a photo of a human body crushed by tanks during the Tianamen Square massacre.

From here, with many more photos from the massacre.

"No photographic evidence is available" you say?

Yikes

It's time for a revolution because it looks like most of the population's in the same boat. The war between the super rich and everyone else has been fought and we lost. They're leaving us with two options: revolution or die starving on the streets.

This is what evil looks like, guys - and it's our own reflection in the mirror

Did she use an AK to effect her change?

...everyone you dislike?

Java's runtime has had a large number of CVEs in the last few years, so that's probably a decent reason to be concerned.

That might be true of VHDL / Verilog programmers I guess.

Trump's so much worse than any of those guys. He's literally promising to end democracy in the USA and to imprison his political opponents if he wins the next election. None of those others went that far.

Not to mention him being convicted of massive fraud while in office and fomenting a riot against the capitol to try to prevent the democratic election process from occurring. I mean this stuff is absolutely nuts and unlike anything any other president has done.

It's going to be a couple of million when all the displaced people starve to death.

I honestly don't know why people go to restaurants in the US. I don't want a guilt trip from the waiter with my expensive meal. Talk about a buzz kill.

And the energy used and pollution created in depolymerising and remanufacturing plastic is higher than the cost of just making new plastic. So there's not really much environmental motivation to do so, or it's a mixed bag at best. Less landfill, more pollution.

Honestly one of the more probable claims I've seen about rust.

And the big secret is that plastic recycling happens much, much less often than you think. In Australia less than 10% of what gets collected for recycling is actually recycled. It's similar in other countries.

Depending on the time you choose, Russia was much smaller than that too.
