Oh no! Anyways…

I’m really saddened though by the amount of needless destruction of resources and life that this war causes.

Now if only the Chzech Republic and Poland did the same… But I’m afraid that’s whistfull thinking.

A waterflow sensor makes the most sense to me too, but it doesn’t have to be inside the pipes. A microphone glued to a pipe should be able to detect the vibrations due to waterflow and hardly anything else.

Perhaps combine with a motion sensor to see if the lights should be on at all. Then the microphone only switches between modes.

If you can’t do N=3, go for N=1 and publish in Science!

Don’t let propaganda tell you otherwise. Here are the facts.

Proceeds to spout propaganda about the EU and against the USA, some based on incorrect numbers (e.g. minimum vacation days in NL is 20, not 27+). As much as I like the EU, this way of sharing data ain’t it for me.

I’m pretty sure it’s not a requirement (e.g. Poland buying tanks from South Korea), but it is of course strongly incenitivised and NATO members (mainly usa) undoubtedly put pressure on other members to buy internally. The pressure will fall away and the incentives will flip around to not buying from the usa

Okay sure, having and releasing the Epstein files can be adventagious for Iran. But what I don’t see is how demanding the files would ever lead to peace. Wouldn’t it only incite Trump and co. instead of getting to a reasonable negotiating position?

I’ve been seing stuff like this a lot lately, but it seems detached from reality to me. How does Iran benefit from the Epstein files?

Invaders seems more fitting

What is the Japan incident?

Mini Putin needs to go

How common/uncommon are such repeat votes? I’m not so familiar with all the ins and outs of EU voting. Has a repeat vote never happened before and is it therefore unprecedented? Or is unprecedented just being used as a buzz word here?

Regardless, glad the parliament voted again not to extend.

Wow, Vance maybe gets a chance to be useful for once…

I’m guessing a big chunk of the diesel vehicles are for trucking/long-distance travel or for reaching remote(-ish) places

Then provide a paywall free link from an archiver that doesn’t DDOS…

Ukraine’s current main limitation appears to be funding, not troops or production capacity (although those are also precarious). Short-term they are diverting resources from their own frontline, but mid- to long-term it will allow them to increase their production capacity.

Being able to supply more drones to their frontline allows them to achieve more per deployed soldier. I recently learned that with enough drones, they need only a fraction of the troops they needed previously to hold the line. This means that selling equipment in the short-term could address their financial and reqruitment issues in the mid- to long-term.

Given that Ukraine is still holding on after more than 4 (or 3?) years of war, I think it’s safe to say that Ukrainian leadership has a good grasp of what they’re doing and that selling tech is a smart decision. With the worst of the winter behind them, they have less of a need for anti-drone drones. They just need to have enough of them before next winter.

I don’t think they are, at least not a major one. Helium is important in chip production, Qatar probably captures some from their oil/gas fields and exports it.

Cool, didn’t know that one yet!

Not even willing, required

I assume they mean stuff like image descriptions that you can add in Microslop Word (don’t know about LibreOffice). It’s quite a neat feature that wouldn’t work with markdown (might work with LaTeX), because these image descriptions are not visible to someone reading a document.
