I’m not sure what your point is. It is completely orthogonal to mine. In the same vein, no, you aren’t responsible for other people’s choices, and yes, rabid dogs (or people who act like them) are unlikely to listen to reason. Neither of those are good reasons to start fights, and that statement neither says that all fights are avoidable or that one mustn’t defend oneself.
Yes, and the vast majority of scenarios where that is the case is where one party made completely unreasonable demands or turned to violence as the first option.
You’re correct, there aren’t always non-violent solutions, but those are often due to people who insist on engaging in violence, whether it be invading another country or taking offense at someone pulling into their driveway.
I once had someone get in my face and say, “Are you man enough to fight me?” I responded with “I’m man enough to find non-violent solutions to my problems.” Why should someone be proud of the problem-resolution method of choice for 3-year-olds?
So they would have to have a white-list for Ukraine and a process for getting on the white-list. That doesn’t seem that complicated. Somewhat intensive, sure, but a very simple solution. And I would think militarily advantageous equipment would be more controlled in a war zone than normal.
Most people don’t feel loyalty to the country they betray. It isn’t a requirement to be a traitor.
Geolocation is very different when you use an omnidirectional antenna passively listening to multiple signals rather than a directional antenna connecting to a satellite for a bidirectional communication session. And all of this ignores the simple fact there are sanctions against some countries and a war going on in another. They are the seller of their antennas and could easily limit who is allowed to change the region of their antenna to work in the white-list zone. Starlink knows the exact equipment I bought from them, and they will know if I move it, and if I change ownership to another person (who actually uses it). Yes, none of this can happen without some administrative or programming work, but that’s the case for many companies if they don’t want to break the law.
Tough place to be. Really, who’s going to give away a working Brother printer?
…any I happen to get for free and I have no other working printers. I have a Brother color laser, so they have nothing I want.
But, again, all they can prove is that you signed up to Signal and when you last signed in.
The suicide bag uses a similar process as the suicide pod, but is very much DIY. Shouldn’t be too uncomfortable unless you’re claustrophobic.
Sodium ion batteries are really just hitting the mainstream. Prior to now, they appear to have been more from pilot projects/factories, but a couple large factories are being built now. I expect they will be very popular for stationary use in a couple years.
Yeah, the Google Maps equivalent that you’re flying around in is the massive amount of data. The flight sim part isn’t insignificant, but the massive amounts of canned data will be all those maps.
The people who sell electricity are surprisingly happy to sell you electricity. If you happen to do something horribly wrong and don’t burn your house down, an electrician will be happy to do the repairs. If you have 200 Amp service and draw the full 200 all year long, the most significant reaction would probably be getting a personalized Christmas card.
The algorithm is working as intended!
Isn’t it at meme levels when YouTube games have their screen go black and they mention Nvidia crashing?
This is probably the most charitable interpretation of this scenario. Good for you.
I figured his wife put him on a diet and he was having none (or three times) of it.
How useful! I can’t count the number of quarter-pennies I’ve lost…
