Can we start a thread with like blocking words, but yes blocking makes Lemmy the best

Yeah the Melania strategy doesn’t always work, probably gonna beat Carter’s record

Fuck now I gotta run from the law as well

Insane that in less than 2 weeks, maybe 1, casualties would have passed 1 million.

I know it is not full on deaths each one, maybe 1/3 or 1/4 maybe if I take a guess, but the other 3/4 was basically wounded and most likely suffering lifetime injury. This also does not include the mental trauma a war like this causes.

Good luck Ukraine, you deserve every bit of freedom you now fight for, may you inflict death and injury to every invader in your country that is trying to sieze it from you.

This cool microscope, is Harvard going to keep it for themselves or are they planning to share the equipment with the rest of the scientific community

Well man knows how to party, did not learn the jerk hands dance from nowhere

I cannot speak for this area of science, but in my field China’s research papers, for example rock mass failure response to complex stress states, are like a god send, really quality work. This is my opinion in my field but if I had to extrapolate… Remember the Soviets with all their propaganda had amazing scientists

You are right, think we have found the Goldilocks zone

Agree and observations/questioning should be on the find out side. We were this close to greatness

This is going to be controversial but there were slight benefits that have been gained by Russia by this war, they basically identified all the areas in the military that were corrupt and lazy, remember in the beginning how unprepared the Russian forces were, they have basically fully transitioned into full war manufacturing, they now have the most experience fighting force in the latest modern war next to Ukraine. They also have basically almost empty prisons, almost every poor desperate persons would have taken the huge pay day and maybe also ended up dead, so a lot of societal “undesirables” were eliminated. Also basically any opponents of Putin could be eliminated by basically blaming Ukraine or blaming the individual for being a secret Ukrainian supporter or against the state

Agreed, for Ukraine it is not a pointless war, it is a war for survival and self, but in my opinion for the average russian it was a pointless war to stroke a colonialist dictators ego. Ukraine never posed a threat and if NATO expansion next to the Russian border was Putin’s motive that backfired with Finland joining NATO.

No this was a pointless war for Russia to have started.

I still think we will hit 1 million before the war ends. God it’s so sad that this is how I slightly keep up with the war, slight number increases, dehumanizing even occupiers into digits. What an awful thing this pointless war

Went from a 460gtx which was really showing its age to a rtx3060ti but mobile. I almost bought a completely new system with the new 9070xt, like I have the spare cash at hand, but then last night put up the PCSX2 emulator with some god of war and I still cannot justify that expense, for now…

Oh, I just looked at available information. It seems like I was mistaken, ok you are right. Thank you for busting a myth about a myth for me

That salt causes high blood pressure. Like I understand there was a theory about how it could lead to high blood pressure, but empirical evidence shows that modern salt consumption is not the reason for high blood pressure

I would take the $500 upfront and just log in to Squarespace or whatever website building service there is, do a simple design, tell him he needs to pay this subscription, argue with him and dad why there must be monthly or annual fees and they could have done this themselves for cheaper, whichever way they chose to pay the subscription or not I still get $500 for 2 hours work and the knowledge my father won’t bother me again with website designs
