After Russia broke the agreement and attacked Ukraine, the US should have stepped in immediately and this entire was would have been prevented. I mean back in 2014 when the Russians took Crimea.

If I was driving the bus I would just brake a little too late when arriving at that stop.

That’s not very fair, the US also promised Ukraine protection if they’d removed their nukes in the 90s…

FYI

When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, Ukraine had the world’s third largest nuclear arsenal on its territory. When Ukrainian-Russian negotiations on removing these weapons from Ukraine appeared to break down in September 1993, the U.S. government engaged in a trilateral process with Ukraine and Russia. The result was the Trilateral Statement, signed in January 1994, under which Ukraine agreed to transfer the nuclear warheads to Russia for elimination. In return, Ukraine received security assurances from the United States, Russia and Britain; compensation for the economic value of the highly-enriched uranium in the warheads (which could be blended down and converted into fuel for nuclear reactors); and assistance from the United States in dismantling the missiles, missile silos, bombers and nuclear infrastructure on its territory.

Trumps massive tax cuts for the rich from his first term are almost ending, he needs a lot of money to renew them.

Russia has started up a war economy, scaling up production of weapons, tanks, etc.

Putin probably waits untill Trump destroys NATO and is just taking his time to prepare.

The only reason Ukraine has been holding on for this long is because all the stuff they got from the US and EU. If that stops it’s not going to last long.

Pete Hegseth already completely fucked Ukraine by saying they need to give up on joining NATO and just accept that Russia can keep all the occupied areas. It’s like the Trump administration just wants to kiss Putin’s ass.

I’m very happy I live in a country where all consumer prices must include taxes. It’s so much better knowing what the real price is when you buy something.

Probably 2013, the world didn’t end in 2012 and if someone asked me finish this sentence “the last story I read was about Donald…” my answer would be Duck.

For me definitely steps, I walk 5000 steps on a work day, when I actually have time off its more like 10K steps. I would stop working and just walk with my dog for an full hour every day. Combine that with normal daily stuff I’ll definitely get 10K steps (2500 euros/dollars) every day. That’s almost a million a year.

Imagine buying a PC but only be able to install anything from one app store made by the manufacturer

I was also going to say LOTR, it was just boring and long. I understand why people like it but I really didn’t. I also didn’t care much for GOT, so the fantasy genre is probably just not my thing.

What are you talking about, the headphone jack is the superior connector. It works on all devices, it doesn’t need power, you can use it on a walkman from the 80s if you want. It can also rotate and is a lot more durable than USBC.

It’s interesting because this also happens in other languages. In Dutch we only use couple (koppel) for people in a relationship.

If you are talking about other things we use “pair” if you have two. But over time people also started using pair wrong, so someone saying “ik heb een paar knikkers” I have a pair of marbles, can still mean he has 5 marbles.

In practice people usually just say I have two marbles when they mean exactly 2.

To add to this, jealous is for example when you are afraid your partner will dump you for someone else.

You are right but that does work both ways.

Whatever fucked things Hamas has done, is not a blank cheque for Israel to murder innocent people.

While at the same time

Whatever fucked things Israel has done, is not a blank cheque for Hamas to murder innocent people.

Do you have any credible sources where Hamas made that promise? Because from what have read they never wanted to agree to releasing them

That is true, but my smart TV and smart scale both got something like 5 years of updates. Who buys a new scale every 5 years? My parents still have a scale from the 90s that works fine.

I’m fairly sure Microsoft is actively trying to screw Firefox. Outlook has always sucked in Firefox, teams is a shit show. When you use a useragent switcher somehow a lot of features seem to work magically in Firefox (which tells me MS is doing this on purpose).

For Outlook (exchange) I use Thunderbird with a paid plug-in (to make the 2FA stuff work). It’s pretty cheap and totally worth it for me at least.

Keep running it for a while and after some time 5 or 10 years you will struggle when people ask you about (basic) Windows stuff.

A while ago I came to the conclusion that a Casio G-Shock is the best watch. They don’t have to be expensive, a good one will sync the time multiple times a day, so it’s always accurate. A good one also has small solar panels in the watch face, so the battery will never be empty, and all of them are really build to last.

From a pure functional perspective I think it’s the best watch ever made. It basically tells you the correct time, always.
