It works for now, but the reason most wires have a rubber-like insulator around them is that it takes very little to Crack or abrade a thin coating such as this and turn it into a fire hazard.

I’m surprised a product with such a small safety margin is allowed for sale.

Fucking spawn campers.

Russia has recruited many more troops since then. The proper way to interpret this information is that the majority of troops currently deployed in Ukraine were conscripted after the start of the war.

Dang, California is making a lot of real progress. Nice work.

They’re not identical, but they have similarities. What Russia is trying to do to Ukraine is not dissimilar to what Israel did to Palestine half a century ago.

Planes can and often do land themselves without pilots on board. It’s not a graceful setdown, but it’s far from guaranteed to be a fireball. They just gradually lose altitude until they reach the ground, which if it is sufficiently flat, they then scuff across until they come to a stop.

It does mean however that your sanctions go a lot further, by wielding the threat of freezing foreign dollars.

It was hunted to near extinction by introduced predators and considered extinct for several decades until a handful of survivors were located in some very remote areas.

When the survivors were found, the department of conservation moved them into a breeding program on some offshore islands where they would be free from predators. Since then the population has slowly grown and predator eradication programs on the mainland have had enough success that we’re now taking a calculated risk on moving some of them back to their original habitat.

Double-clutching is for rookies. Real drivers match the revs and powershift.

Correct. With the barrel stabilisation and electronic fire control in these tanks, there is no need to sit still while firing, so they keep the tank moving while in combat to make themselves a harder target.

Should probably make it a zip file, with all of the ‘woosh’ going on here, he’s definitely got windows open.

To me it suggests that Ukrainian aligned fighters are operating inside of Russia.

I don’t doubt the level of air defense Russia have in place near the border, but partisans in-country would sidestep them entirely.

Oil changes dont require a lot of tools. Most cars you’d get away with just a socket, a drain pan and a filter wrench. I’d be suprised if it took two oil changes to pay back what you spent on tools through the savings of doing it yourself.

If you can afford to drop a hundred bucks on a decent socket and spanner set, then there’s even more savings to be had from doing your own brakes and basic part replacements

The solution should be restricting such actions to root/admin, not preventing them entirely though.

I’m using the asus rt68u for the built-in vpn capabilities. It’s a bit outdated now, but you can pick them up used for under a hundred bucks.

It’s been called coconut milk for 300 years now. No-one is getting confused about it.

My initial thought was that everything would be stored in triplicate, then read in triplicate and ‘voted’ to the correct value, but I guess even that only extends the time before random bit-flips make the data unreadable. You’re probably right on the need for active error checking if there is an intention to store anything long-term in this manner.
