Hopefully you’re doing better!

Someone else recently explained it best: It’s elderly abuse.

The entourage encircling these elderly congressional leaders are profiting greatly. As soon as these senators retire, these leeches lose nearly everything.

It’s a Weekend At Bernie’s movie plot, but with extra steps.

Well cool, I hope it does. I’m not a hardcore gamer, but the Nintendo Switch interested me for the occasional mario kart session. But all the Joycon drama scared me off from buying one. I’ll hold out for a few more years before splurging - I’m in no rush, I rarely game or watch television anyway lol

I haven’t done much with Excel and Word these days, but I have not had a single issue opening standard documents. The PDF import capabilities for LibreDraw work reasonably well. Many MANY years ago I fiddled with OpenOffice and then LibreOffice before moving to Office365 for a while.

Now I’m back to LibreOffice for the past 5+ years and haven’t had any complaints

Yep, exactly. As cool as DU rounds sound on the battlefield as a competitive advantage for piercing armor. They are a health risk to both the soldiers handling them and absolutely poisons the soil which will have an affect on future generations living on that land.

But I guess that’s the point - to scare the russians as well as salt the earth so it’s useless irradiated soil for either side to use for decades to come… Or I’m sure if Russia keeps the land, they’ll simply mine it anyways and who gives a hoot about the health of government workers mining resources for the motherland, right?? /s

Yeah, but foraging for wild mushrooms is something y’all are taught from a very young age. You’re taught what kinds are safe to eat, and what ones to absolutely avoid. I highly doubt anyone with a scientific background would just randomly eat mushrooms without positive identifications.

Given that this is Russia, he probably refused to stand near any windows and had an affinity for wild mushrooms so someone took advantage of the situation lol

I love these types of articles. I feel like there should be a community for these, but I don’t know what it’d be called

well, I mean if the shoe fits, you know they’re gonna wear it

Just last month I came across a cd I burned with Mandrake Linux that I had downloaded - 26 years ago!

I should try and install that on a virtual PC and see how it feels/looks hahaha

Not exactly world news related…

My favorite part of the story of Ludwig II was that he basically bankrupted the region building these castles. He was found dead floating in the moat surrounding the castle, and there was basically no investigation. Everyone was like “meh, case closed” and moved on with life hahaha.

Is that his f*cking blue steel look? Wonder how long he spent practicing that expression in the mirror this week.

With all the news in the past 24 hours, I take it Pootin isn’t too thrilled with the performance of his armed forces lately.

There’s been a lot of chatter that he is seriously ill (I’ve heard cancer or Parkinson, but who knows what it really is) - people who’ve analyzed the recent photos say they see swelling in his hands/wrists which could indicate the use of strong steroids which are known to alter thought processes that could explain his recent believe that he could win a conflict with Ukraine and beat India to the south pole of the moon (concurrently no less).

I’m honestly impressed that russia admitted the landing failed at all, I figured they would have simply kept quiet. I guess they know we have strong enough telescopes to see the crash site? Who knows lol

Well, I mean NASA pulled a spare mars rover out of their R&D testing labs, modified it’s toolset a bit, and sent it to Mars for a second soft landing (didn’t they use a sky-crane for both rover deployments?). I’d say that takes a bit more skill than landing on the Moon. But I don’t play Kerbal Space Program enough to know how much

Cool thanks for that, I’ve honestly never fiddled with Open SUSE, I gravitated to Linux Mint a while back and like that it’s still under constant development.

Yeah no doubt, a RAID would be more effective. But still a 256TB SSD is absolutely insane when you think about it, compared to where technology was 10 or 20 years ago.

Crazy to think it was only about fifteen years ago the small Data-storage server reseller I worked for was selling their own in-house server racks - a whole 52U rack filled with Supermicro drive bays to store a petabyte of data was $300k and that was a steal of a deal at the time.

Sure, that system was redundant and this is a single pbSSD, but still crazy to see how fast things are evolving

Wow, who could have ever seen that coming. What’s surprising is that it’s being reported… must be a desperate effort to call people to action to support their nation?
