A Russian civil war is not out of the question.
What many of us don’t know, is that the majority of people sent to the meat grinder in Ukraine is from peripheral regions like Dagestan, and not from central Russia (e.g. Moscow). These are different cultures and ethnicities subjugated by the Russian “empire”. And some of them are sick of being killed for the “emperor”, which can lead to unrest and maybe a civil war, like it did in many similar situations in history.
Noooo, you don’t get it, bro. Just one more lane, please. I promise, it will be better than last time. One more lane, that’s all we need. I’m begging you, please.
I’m on my knees here. One more lane, just one more! This time it will be different, I swear. We won’t have traffic jams, I promise! Just one more lane and we’ll be free.
Come on, man, think of the children. Just one more lane. I’m begging you. For the love of liberty, just one more lane!
Not a very good accuracy, shooting ranges need to offer child discounts, so they could practice more
Yeah, the soldering is outrageous. I miss the time when Apple was a (more) customer friendly company. I could open my Mac mini 2009 and just add more RAM, which I did.

I work at a big EU company, MS top partner / strategic account etc. We wanted to implement MS Dynamics CRM in one of our newer business lines, we barely got a reply to our official emails.
After some informal discussions, we were told that salespeople are now only incentivized to sell Copilot, so they don’t really bother with the rest.
If MS is overinvesting to ride the AI hype as a middle man, while letting their core business capabilities (Windows and Office) decline, they will be in trouble in the long term.
Boeing turned to shit after acquiring another company (not sure of the name), and it changed the culture and leadership

average 4chan user
love reading and sharing greentext stories
take screenshots of the best ones to save for later
notice one day that a screenshot seems slightly tilted
think it’s just my imagination
days pass, more screenshots seem off
angles get worse, barely noticeable but there
try rotating my phone, doesn’t help
open screenshots on my computer, same issue
post about it on /x/, get mocked and called a noob
start getting obsessed, spend hours comparing, measuring angles
losing sleep, seeing the tilt in my dreams
one morning, wake up, entire room looks tilted
try to walk, stumble and fall
look out the window, world looks upside down
panic, try to grab onto something stable
mother staring at me like I’m crazy
feel like I’m in a nightmare
lock the door
look at my screenshots, they’re completely upside down
see my reflection in the monitor, it’s me but inverted
can’t take it anymore
scream, try to shut down the computer
power button doesn’t work, can’t unplug it
everything in my apartment starts spinning
fall to the floor, clutching my head
world fades to black
wake up in a padded white room
see a pen in front of me
draw greentext arrows on the walls, but they all look tilted
You pay a monthly fee (lease) that contains a certain number of swaps per month, above which you pay extra. The car is also cheaper this way, as you are not paying the full price of the the battery up front
My colleague has a NIO car like this, he really likes it and uses the battery swap weekly. To my knowledge they have patented the tech.
If I bought an electric car, I would definitely consider NIO, as this option is great for long trips. In EU they have a couple of swap stations in Germany, but it’s still a long way to go in other countries.
The company (NIO) owns them and you are leasing the batteries. The car is cheaper this way, as you don’t buy the battery up front, but pay a monthly fee (~200+ in Germany).
You have a fixed number of swaps per month, above that you have to pay extra.
Source: colleague uses a car like this and explained the details.
Exactly. I’m still on my 11pro for this reason, already had to replace the battery. I got the 15 as a work phone, it feels very large in comparison, I’m not a fan.
Yes, it was exactly that. The guy has a quite a few critical songs towards the regime

Thanks, looks interesting, will take a look
Lol, in Europe Saxenda costs around 100 per box. Victoza and other versions for diabetics are even cheaper, as they are subsidized by health insurance (while Saxenda is not).
