  • We are lucky to have them

  • I'm helping I promise!

  • I have 4 cats and I handle them all without getting scratched while trimming their nails. There is one cat that will bite the nail scissors, she is tricky to handle because of that. When she catches a finger between the nail scissors and her teeth, she bites full force and that does not make a pleasant experience. I tried burritoing her, but it's just easier to have her on her back and using sleight of hand to distract her.

  • French centrists must decide: support the left – or hand the keys of power to the far right?

  • I know it as a book. I think I saw the movie once, but wasn't impressed. The book is a very good introduction to philosophy.

    Edit: I just realized that I was talking about "Sophie's world", not "Sophie's choice" so ignore my comment.

  • VW will invest up to $5 billion in Rivian as part of new EV joint venture

    Jump

  • Volkswagens EV platform is a mess because the CEO responsible for the pivot to EV within VW, was only allowed to implement it if he stopped being the CEO. So the next guy half assed the 80B$ pivot to EV, leading to VW being one of the worst performers amongst EV producing OEMs.

    So now they are on the market to buy whatever is needed to get them out of the hot mess they created themselves.

  • Thoughts on Desktop Operating Systems in 2024

    Jump

  • I used to like mac OS when I used it on a macbook as a daily driver, years ago (haven't owned a mac in a decade now). But recently I helped my mom set up a new macbook and I found it unwield.

    I'm also with you on the Ubuntu and gnome front, although a buddy of mine swears with it. I just don't like it. Not sure why, I have tried to work with Ubuntu + GNOME several times and I always end up switching to a different build.

  • In Honor of American Conservatives Learning Homelander is Bad

    Jump

  • So I haven't watched after season 2. What did Homelander have to do for conservatives to realize he's not the good guy?

    Did he become an environmentalist or something? Because sociopathic narcissism, kidnapping, mass murdering innocents and being an allround asshole didn't do that, not even mentioning his literal nazi girlfriend.

  • EU chat control law proposes scanning your messages — even encrypted ones

    Jump

  • This law, if it were to pass, is 100% guaranteed to be shot down by the European courts for invasion of privacy.

  • In Need of Munitions, Putin to Visit North Korea

    Jump

  • Russia is a North Korean client state now.

  • It's not just convicts. Russia is forcing its African migrants and students to fight for them in Ukraine.

    Jump

  • I think the crisis moment for Ukraine has passed mostly. The threat of a breakthrough from a couple of months ago is not gone, but stalled long enough to shore up the defensive lines and have ammunition and supplies delivered from the west (and let's be honest here, that is still for 90% coming from the US). The strategy for Ukraine should now be to hold line and hit the supply lines.

    The sanctions that were implemented take time to really bite and you start seeing the results of these more and more.

    One thing I think Ukraine should do is start recruiting mercenaries from Nepal and other places where Russia is recruiting. Since they're not (or rather "probably would not") be thrown in the meat grinder, I think that after some time they can dry up those sources too, while at the same time addresing some of their own manpower issues.

  • Norway discovers Europe's largest deposit of rare earth metals

    Jump

  • Bømføkstad lmao

  • Vaccines don’t cause autism, but the lie won’t die. In fact, it’s getting worse.

    Jump

  • Just give the option to be injected with a vaccine or with chlorine. Watch the numbers drop spectacularly.

  • Boeing’s largest plant in ‘panic mode’ amid safety crisis, say workers and union officials

    Jump

  • They are trying to ramp up production, but that's a very hard thing to do given the sheer amount of suppliers (over 1000) and the general labor shortage in aviation. They are actively sending their own engineers to suppliers to help out where possible, but there is only so much they can do.

    Even with ramped up production the backlog (8500+ planes) will take almost a decade to clear (735 planes produced in 2023). So yea, I could imagine some airlines with a strong cash position will simply buy other airlines just to take over their planes and orders instead of putting in a new order.

  • US sues Hyundai, others over child labor at Alabama parts plant

    Jump

  • Force them to update their old ass IT infrastructure as well. The amount of policies and lowering of security I had to do so that my company can access their antique systems is not funny. Hyundai are such cheapskates on everything this doesn't surprise me in the least.

  • EU ministers fume as ‘outrageous’ Hungary yet again blocks military aid for Ukraine

    Jump

  • No it isn't

  • Microsoft is not buying Valve and Counter-Strike for £12 billion

    Jump

  • The rag called metro making news from random stuff again, I see. This is not even news. It's literally "reporting" that something is not happening.

    Like this: "Intel not buying AMD for 6B$" Industry insiders report that Intel has decided not to buy their rivals for 6B$. The CEO of AMD has reportedly stated having no interest in selling to Intel. Their spokesperson, when confronted with this breaking news, replied "WTF have you been smoking, Pringles?" We will continue to report on this story as it continues to develop.

  • Austria still stuck in "great power diplomacy" even though they have become a shrimp on the international stage.

  • Bulgaria and Romania join the Schengen area

  • For now. Land borders is next on the agenda and the decision on when to lift them should be taken this year by the European Commission.
