Yes, we get it, your dad has a good job.

This is funny, so I’m leaving my mistake

The command structure is what determines separate forces, do the Chechen forces answer to the same command structures? I know from US coalition operations that the foreign forces answer to their own NCO/Officer Corp. Typically, through to the region level and have their own rules and regulations separate from the other nation forces, often operating from their own bases and really only coordinating at the colonel level or above.

To my understanding, the Chechen forces are barely allowed their own officers at the unit level, much less anything higher. I’m far from an expert on that, though, and may be wrong. If true, I wouldn’t separate them, if false, maybe, as much as the separation of NATO forces in Afghanistan.

Wagner was moved under the Russian regular military after the failed coop. So they’re technically one entity now. (Not that there was ever much of a difference, it’s just less now. )

I guess this would depend on if C++ has multiple personality disorder.

Maybe add links to data sources and separate items that are objectively negative from those that someone may prefer? (i.e., reliability being low is always bad, left or right leaning being bad is based on individual perspectives.

Don’t forget Valentine’s day.

Now let’s look at holidays 40 weeks prior…

Nice

Economy of scale matters, so does practicality. Which one is generally lasting longer per number of charges and what’s the long term viability of both given the time they were build and the available tech at that time? I totally understand the greater availability of sodium vs lithium. However, will it last? Last time I read much about it, reliability was weak, charge capacity over time dropped drastically, and failures were high. (It has been a couple of years, so things may be changing. )

Something new and shiney can be nifty, but past that, what is this? It seems like an expensive hood ornament that will rust in the rain. Lithium is expensive and toxic to mine, but so are all metals to some extent, and this has plenty.

It seems like it’s buying something 25% off on a $100 thing that won’t last well. Sure, you saved $25 once, but you’re buying 3 of them in the same time frame.

Doesn’t California have some insane battery too?

Because cardboard boxes already exist and “created” is poorly used here. https://boulderwine.com/product/bells-two-hearted-ipa-6-pack-cans/

Maybe this is cheaper, but nothing new

I just linked it to show the rare piece of bipartisanship. I agree DLST should be done away with. As to which schedule to keep, I find it to be 6 of one and half dozen of another. The difference is just another nit pick someone will find excuses to argue over.

You realize there are places without it, and they’re fine, correct?

Anti-DST… The almost accidental political bridge. Kinda funny actually: https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-senate-approves-bill-that-would-make-daylight-savings-time-permanent-2023-2022-03-15/

Look at the names of the quotes. Both sides are commenting on how dumb it is.

Then the House got involved.

I’m sure it means something to someone. I’m just not that someone.

This was in the wrong spot.

Carpet for your only whole $99.

It performs like trash when trying to copy to text messages.

Literally, you answered your own question. From the user end, unsupported file types of any frequently shared format are garbage. No one cares on the user end about server space. They care about sharing a funny image. They don’t care about 2 extra ms of load speed. They want shit to just work.

It’s the same reason Open Office sucks. You can’t rely on it to just work. As much as dev’s hate it (myself too), reliability is king. Webp fails this measure, badly.
