reproductive habits of some insects are of critical importance in pest control in agriculture
natural product chemists (it’s a subfield of organic chemistry) find and identify new weird shit in obscure organisms (esp marine organisms) all the time. because amounts are tiny, then their work is on synthesis of the same thing. some of these turn out to be useful
taking a crime and moving it somewhere else is also the entire schtick of silicon valley techbros. see, it’s not a pyramid scheme or securities fraud, it’s Future of Finance™. it’s not copyright infringement or criminal conspiracy if it’s done by chatbots, and they’re not liable anyway, why have you trusted the lying boxes
“hey why bother going against a nationalist land grab? i am the real antiimperialist” gee i wonder
most of the rest can be made in europe, even if it would require some scaling up of production
e:
i can see you have came here with your instance-issued portable public opinion influence brigade. will you bitch and moan again when you get defederated from another instance?
also, entire military is just under 1tn - all of it, including completely nonmovable things like nuclear silos and submarines. ripping enough copper from the walls to get 2tn would involve massive cuts to social security and healthcare, and maybe education. but nooo heavens forbid that progressive tax on income be introduced
i, for one, would like to see more air defense assets going to Ukraine
“preventing next corn plague” with resources used being a box of soil and bunch of underpaid grads seems pretty efficient to me, but i guess that since the common clay of the new west already voted they can be safely disposed of
at USDA, they’re turning beetles kinky! 😡

nvidia at least sells shovels, they already made some real profit unlike openai
How do you know that Threads won’t inject ads as posts?
Still no reason to defederate, huh?

I don’t know about going downhill in general, but there are some that use regenerative braking (regular braking, on flat terrain) so maybe
wait, 55 years old satellite still has fuel for thrusters?
yeah it’s replacement for google only if you don’t care if any of information received is accurate at all
fern? germ factories
there were a few stupidly close calls in soviet biological weapons program
2 means “just” removing earth’s magnetic field, van allen belts don’t shield from anything, these are trapped solar wind
5 could have side effect of disturbing ozone layer, on top of, yknow, just suffocating every animal
7 is not even wrong
10 sounds like CIA’s final plan for assassinating Castro: just let him die of old age
for now we can dazzle the most probable adversary with invoices
The point is not gain of land for Russia but removing land from another state, as a punitive measure for trying to get away from russian influence. This is also not the first time it is happening. Because of how nationalist Putin’s supporters base has become over time, he chose to use small invasions like 2008 invasion of Georgia as a tool to increase his domestic popularity. This parallels 1999 false flag bombings and response in form of second Chechen war and 2014 invasion of Donbas. In all these cases, as well as for two first weeks of 2022 war, approval rating of Putin’s government soared which was exactly the point the entire time. Because of how much of that comes from nationalists, he can’t back off because he’d come across as weak and lose support, he can’t advance much faster because he’s physically unable to, and his best bet is this kind of slow grind like we see now. Any western military aid will make it harder, so of course russian influence operations are directed against it, and you know that too
Speak for yourself. Orbital ATK buys european explosives, we have scaled up weapons manufacture in France, Germany, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey, Czechia and few others, there are new Rheinmetall plants in Ukraine too.
Ukrainians don’t lack resolve. In 2022, something like 85% (iirc) said that fight should go on if nuclear weapons were used by Russia. Even now 80%-ish don’t think that any territorial concessions should take place in any peace agreement. They have some of their own defense industry, lots of things (other than mostly air defense, and parts of aircraft manufacture) we can do in Europe, even if it requires some scale up, then there’s South Korean deliveries and few other things that still can happen.
who the fuck “we” is supposed to mean there? in middle east i wish everyone involved regime change, situation is fucked with any of current people in power staying in power. Put Netanyahu, Assad, Erdogan, Khamenei and their cabinets and top people from Hezbollah in Hague then we can talk. but it’s severely off topic so maybe don’t
