I disagree with that sentiment. The West was willing to put up with a lot of crap from CCP, but the refusal to allow a somewhat level playing ground, the tying of the fixed exchange rate of the remnibi to the dollar and the growing hostility and aggression towards Taiwan caused a lot of mistrust to grow and fester. When you look at the early 2000’s, the West was willing to play ball, just as it was playing ball with Russia at that time. Authoritarian strongmen are the issue here, not the West’s attitudes towards those respective nations.

Max to Sauber next year confirmed

I was under the impression that the general consensus is that his son was the killer, but OJ didn’t want to give him up.

I just tested it on my work laptop and it’s ridiculous how much faster search is now. Gonna propose to implement it company wide on workstations. I mean, I would do so in a heartbeat, but I still want our CIO to sign off on it.

For servers though, I’m creating the policy first thing in the morning. The slow search has been the bane of my existence for years (although admittedly I could’ve googled it many times and never did, so that’s on me).

AR glasses would fix that

That’s exactly how theater works.

I hated olives when I was a kid, then I grew to love it. Same with ginger. Red beets and celery I will never like though.

Yea, from what I remember when I lived there (granted, this was two decades ago) the portions were enormous and could definitely be a lot smaller. Not to mention the size of the soda cups (soda buckets would be more accurate).

From the reports he got shot in the stomach. That’s not where you would want to get shot in case of a false flag, and probably wouldn’t put yourself directly in the line of fire like that either.

The bidetphilia is strong at lemmy, which never ceases to amaze me.

Both me and my wife were both complaining about how loud the sound was last time we went to the movies (Dune part 2), so yes. I prefer immersion without shattered ear drums.

Where do you live? I’m in central Europe and hit the local currency equivalent of 60$ per person per week…

You know, I work full time from home ever since covid and it is brilliant because I had a long commute to an office I didn’t really needed to be in because all my peers/colleagues are in other countries. But when I started out, I worked in a nice office which was a 10 minute bike ride from my home and it was brilliant. If I could do the same work within a 10 minute commute I do now, I would be in the office every day I think.

We call it the eye of Sauron in our household.

I use an HP microserver gen 8, which I bought second hand (300$) and upgraded with a better CPU (20$ from ebay) and extra ram (80$) and 4 2TB SSD’s (100$ per). I installed Windows server on it because I just wanted it to work in a way I’m familiar with, but a colleague of mine installed Synology OS on it. You can use the cd drive bay for the OS disk (with some tweaking). Since you already have the disks, this would fit your budget.

Is this the guy that kindly asked for 7 trillion? Of course he doesn’t want UBI, because he wants to vacuum up all the money to dump it in his robot girlfriend.

I see you are confused because this is obviously the famous Spanish singer Federico Mercurio.

But that’s not fighting and some people have that sense of humor. Feel bad for them if they are unhappy, but if they are happy, why not be happy for them?
