@CapybaraSits @breakingbaht Shouldn’t even be debatable is the point. If you’re in the same conversation as Russia in terms of lack of freedom, you might be doing freedom wrong.

"Seized his father's phone."
So, now that the IDW type f*gs are basically gone, we can admit European white countries are now essentially totalitarian Russian like pieces of shit.
Like, pit all race relations stuff aside, we now just can accept in the UK you live under a literal "regime."

New details about Henry Nowak murder. Three female officers responded to scene. "The officer who handcuffed Henry laughed when he said he had been stabbed. He was then dragged across the gravel and held in handcuffs as he bled out. Only after he lost consciousness did officers remove the handcuffs and begin CPR. Henry died at the scene. Police also seized Henry's and his father's phone and searched all messages for racist comments or jokes"

@LexGross_man @breakingbaht That's debatable, but the difference either way is not significant.

@breakingbaht Russia is less totalitarian than the UK at this point.

I strongly recommend the book "Ignition! An Informal History of Liquid Rocket Propellants" by John Drury Clark.
One excerpt from it was made (even more) famous in Derek Lowe's excellent Things I Will Not Work With blog.
Describing the properties of chlorine trifluoride:
"It is, of course, extremely toxic, but that's the least of the problem. It is hypergolic with every known fuel, and so rapidly hypergolic that no ignition delay has ever been measured. It is also hypergolic with such things as cloth, wood, and test engineers, not to mention asbestos, sand, and water-with which it reacts explosively. It can be kept in some of the ordinary structural metals-steel, copper, aluminium, etc.-because of the formation of a thin film of insoluble metal fluoride which protects the bulk of the metal, just as the invisible coat of oxide on aluminium keeps it from burning up in the atmosphere. If, however, this coat is melted or scrubbed off, and has no chance to reform, the operator is confronted with the problem of coping with a metal-fluorine fire. For dealing with this situation, I have always recommended a good pair of running shoes."

@the_shimponavt @troum Подожди, одно тело казнили, одно убили, одно осталось?

В Китае казнили топ-менеджера Сюй Яо, убившего продюсера сериала Netflix «Задача трех тел». Об этом сообщает Би-би-си.
По данным следствия, в 2020 году Сюй Яо отравил еду продюсера из-за конфликта: начальник понизил ему зарплату и убрал имя из титров сериала «Задача трех тел».

Honestly, treating North American weather kind of like Australian fauna makes a certain degree of sense.
In both cases, the forces in question unquestionably want to kill you. It's just that sometimes they can't.

For reference, Minneapolis has the same average summer highs as Barcelona and lower winter lows than Moscow. European weather is unbelievably mild, all things considered. Most of the rest of the world has far more natural disasters AND far more temperature variation.

@ChiefEngineerCE @Rothmus So comrade, you are saying "Failure IS an option", da?

As a young socialist, Hayek read Ludwig von Mises’ 1920 paper “Economic Calculation in the Socialist Commonwealth.”
Mises showed that socialist central planning isn’t merely inefficient, it’s impossible.
Without private property and genuine market prices, planners lack any rational way to allocate scarce resources or determine real costs and needs.
Even Oskar Lange, a leading socialist in the calculation debate, effectively conceded the point.
While he promoted “market socialism” with trial-and-error pricing by a central board, real-world socialist planners in Eastern Europe quietly relied on world capitalist market prices as a guide.
Without external free-market price signals, pure socialism would be economically blind and coordination would collapse.
Mises went further, arguing that interventionism, the “middle way” of government meddling, is inherently unstable.
Each intervention creates problems that invite more interventions, eventually leading to full socialization.
Price controls cause shortages, subsidies distort production, and the cycle continues until the economy is fully planned.
The lesson is clear.
Rational economics requires genuine market prices emerging from voluntary exchange and private property.
Half-measures don’t stabilize the system. They accelerate the drift into central planning.
The Austrian School understood this decades before the collapse of the Soviet bloc proved it in practice.

@BrutanaCarl @RichardArion1 One can argue that numbers one and two are reversed. I mean, historically the order is correct, but maybe not in importance.

@RichardArion1 I just can't get over how awful the quality of our women are. Their number one issue is killing their own babies, and their number two issue is emasculating their men & doing everything possible to make sure we can't defend our civilization AND THEM TOO!

“Oh you are complaining that women enslave men? I will make a false police report on you so your house will be raided. As a woman I know that there won’t be any consequences to me for making a false police report on you.”
This h@rlot is proving my point. She has the power to send a militarized police force to raid my house based on a lie and get away with it. This is ruling class behavior.

@mtc_j @derangedAbbot Дефицит. Всех лебедей переделали обратно в покрышки.
Русский
С огромным удовольствием посмотрел бы где все недовольные и практичные пользователи вторсырья найдут изношенные покрышки в тысячах штук, отвечающие нормам безопасности (точно не торчит корд, не осталось гвоздей или иного мусора), сами их закупят, доставят с помоек и возьмут за них ответственность при эксплуатации детьми.
И все это вместо покупки новых по 2к (что на фоне цены площадки просто ничтожно).

@Matt_Bracken48 Lets go back to that, every airport will set their clocks to solar noon. Yeah that idea isn't going to fly.
English
Until railroads, and the need for exact train schedule synchronization, every town set it's own time based on local noon. At the speed of horse travel between towns, it didn't matter if each was a little different.
If a town's bank or government building had an exterior clock, it was set at local noon, and the people set their watches, if they had them, according to that primary clock. And solar noon was noon.
James Anderson White@jamesawhiite
It’s imperative that we revert to STANDARD, not Daylight time, for two reasons, one of which you may have never considered. You know the first: solar noon is closest to 12 o’clock all year. That means an equal number of hours before and after noon each day. This also means earlier sunrises which are significantly better for establishing a healthy circadian rhythm. The second reason is that nearly ONE THIRD of US counties are in the wrong timezone. A significant swath of the country isn’t only an artificial hour ahead because of daylight time… but TWO HOURS ahead of true solar time. Year-round daylight time, especially without recalibrating time zones, would establish this error permanently, affecting millions of Americans. We should be letting the Sun dictate the day the way God made it. Arbitrary, artificial tampering would be worse for us all. Fix the time zones and affix standard time.
