Yep. Yet finished prodiuct for end user is declared pricier thsn individual parts and certified differently.

He either has an urge to become Sisyphus or have a scarab for his spiritual animal for how he likes dragging stuff around. May he become one!

Some businesses in Russia have loopholes like importing components and making a local assembly, up to just putting their sticker on it. I wonder what % of production process would be enough to count a product as Made in USA.

If only backstabby enough…

RFK Jr seing a dead billionaire’s body: is it for meee owo

A way to get a title of a honorary leftie.

Another person took a deep dive explaining that, but for me a little imperfection adds value and personality to a person or a product because I can

• tell them from thousands of replicas and feel like I have an intimete knowledge of them;
• imagine some story behind it, some depth and a promise of more;
• accept it, and finally get along with my own imperfections as they are too parts of me.

I liked these photoes too, but I found it also works nice if you extrapolate it to humans, to history, to nature, to the universe. How these little weird details make us remember things and adore objects and events in some way. It’s like pre-LLM critique of generative AIs.

And vodka-pizza-mattress can feel a bit personal too because it all carries a mark of a being living there and inviting you to see this part of their life when they are vulnerable, idk.

I like how the summary ends. It gives me hope of some backstabbing and conflicts over nepotism.

Pratchett said the insanity of person can be judged by an excessive use of exclamation points, yet he haven’t lived long enough to see the pure morbidity of someone who frequently uses double spaces and, coincidentially, contributes to LaTeX.

It sounds bigger if it’s 8k in roubles tho. And more prophetic if it’s thirty of silver.

IDK how russian influence network budgets things but it’s very small even there. Like a monthly rent somewhere deep in the ass or a monthly pay for a basic manual labor you are supposed to chain multiple wages from, like moping one floor in an office building. I imagine the guy had millions set aside with buying this dude so cheap.

Shit Stain or Stalin’s Shill, you pick.

These aren’t probably news by itself, these were news when these laws and guidelines themselves appeared around 2021 when it was suggested by everyone but wasn’t clear if Russia starts things and it was used as a proof it would. I’m yet to hear this specific law getting used though, and article kinda shoulders that.

The Kremlin has begun distributing an updated instruction manual to military units engaged in its war in Ukraine on the preparation and maintenance of mass graves.

That contradicts what written on the cover - last paragraph dedicates it to (probably) law students becoming candidates of science, a step before becoming doctors and after getting bachelor’s and master’s degree. But I suppose it’s formal and doesn’t mean much. I just wonder who the fuck would waste small amount of hours at that level of education on that niche subject that no one but lawyers specified in military cases gonna use. As a practical guide with all the beaurocratic measures to dig graves in the legal, specific way - yeah, they are mostly needed on the frontlines. But I have my doubts anyone would care to do such things by the book and am surprised there’s no moss-covered standard from the soviet 70s to cover that like it usually happens.

I don’t know how it works with a frequently updating OS. In my mind beaurocrats can become asses about certifying one exact version they inspected and then making users afraid that open source community can inject the next version with viruses and they can’t be sure it’s okay too. Ah, and making each certification a paid service and somehow fucking it up.

In Russia there are like two projects of local Linux with custom wine that you can buy just like other software, certified by FSB for sensitive business (I believe them being the first pieces of software to get it except specific cryptographic stuff), but I feel the reason it’s getting adopted and certified is because there are some nepotism and illegal connections with money not really changing pockets.

I see it generating less work for the helpdesk than Windows currently does. Linux can hardly brick itself without root while Windows can and has a lot of bloat and problems occuring on random on identical PCs. It also works fine on HDD and with less than 8GB of DDR3 RAM, so older hardware won’t become garbage that quick. And since users aren’t yet familiar with any Linux, there is a 5 year lag between deployment and when average users would start to dig in settings and customization parameters fixing\breaking things themselves like they do on their home machines.

It’s investing in your own working future.

I was optimistic about that before and now I want to believe you.

NK importing rice from Russia is funny as it is. The depressing part comes in whenever Kim would like to challenge South Korea’s statehood, EU and US would not want to get involved, just like they do with Ukraine, because NK is a chinese proxy and they don’t want to offend China too much. Although NK’s army is outdated and idiotic, they can still cause a lot of harm, especially if supported by other states.

Hear the Jonhstown tapes. While we do believe some of these people were forced to drink poison, there definetly were people who were okay with a ‘revolutionary suicide’ rhetoric. And these true believers have no problem wishing death on others as well.

Trump is not there yet, but he’s edging on that.

“I shouldn’t have left. I mean, honestly, because we did so, we did so well,” Trump said during his rally in Lititz as he claimed the US-Mexico border was more secure under his administration.

It was a rare public admission of regret over participating in the peaceful transfer of power after he incited his supporters to violently storm the US Capitol as he tried to subvert the results of the 2020 election that he lost but refused to concede — something Trump is currently facing federal charges over.

And, being a rich person, he’d not see immediate consequencies of it.

Yeah, we’d not allow him to visit us the next time!

We’d take his intestines out as souvenirs and wait for the highest bidder.

Btw, would you want penis of a male, 78, in epoxy? Yeah, it’s way smaller that you’d assume, but nevertheless it’s a unique conversation piece when placed in the living room or on the counter. Shit’s selling like hot cakes.

That’s too much to ask probably.

That’s all wrong. It’s a labor violation, okay, but the most important part is that it is aiming to increase the voter turnout for one exact party. That should be the center of complaints

In order for you to not look like a demented POS you need

“To make America great you really have to get the news shaped up,” Trump told Fox News Saturday morning.

Thanks, Kim Jon Trump for saying that out loud.
