Pringles,

Russia is a Nork Korean client state now.

Pringles,

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.

Pringles,

No it isn’t

Pringles,

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.

Pringles, (edited )

I had to scroll waaay too far down the article to find the name of the person referenced, so for those just wanting to know the name of the immigrant: Baron Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben

You’re welcome

Pringles,

I disagree with that sentiment. The West was willing to put up with a lot of crap from CCP, but the refusal to allow a somewhat level playing ground, the tying of the fixed exchange rate of the remnibi to the dollar and the growing hostility and aggression towards Taiwan caused a lot of mistrust to grow and fester. When you look at the early 2000’s, the West was willing to play ball, just as it was playing ball with Russia at that time. Authoritarian strongmen are the issue here, not the West’s attitudes towards those respective nations.

Pringles,

I fully support a ban on bottom trawling. It’s a super destructive form of fishing and should never have been allowed in the first place.

Pringles,

So we should not pay more attention to parties with a ton of authoritarian tendencies compared to a party that has one or two viewpoints that may be construed as authoritarian?

I will posit my question in the nicest way I can think off. Are you fucking retarded?!?

Pringles,

This could unironically be his exact thought process.

Pringles,

The best thing to do when you fall off a horse, is climb straight back up on it. Rejecting almost limitless power because of an accident almost 40 years ago is foolish to me. Luckily research didn’t completely stop and modern plants are a lot safer with a lot of medical applications for the waste.

Pringles,

Wishful thinking from salon.com with a click-bait title?!? I’m shocked!

Pringles,

Literally “literally”, smh

Pringles,

You need to upgrade your browser skills.

Pringles,

Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I’m one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it’s true! — but when you’re a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are — nuclear is so powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what’s going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? — but when you look at what’s going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it’s four — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it’s all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don’t, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us, this is horrible."

Pringles,

I almost want to see him try, because invading Taiwan is more likely to ruin the communist party than the Taiwanese government.

Pringles,

I did some (limited) research into this some years ago and found blendle.com, although I never made the jump to try it. Iirc I thought at the time the price per article was too high. They are dutch so primarily focused on the dutch market and the proposition seems ok for dutch users (10€/month unlimited articles). For US users it’s still pay as you go, but no idea on the cost.

But it’s literally that idea: you buy credits and through their app/site you access the articles you want, paying for a specific article if it’s a paid one.

I’m quite a voracious reader, so the pay as you go is not that interesting for me I think. I just use a variety of paid and unpaid sources to get my news.

Pringles,

Where my boy Tuvix at?

Pringles,

Last brisket, was still fucking raw. And not enough salt on the complimentary slaw.

Pringles,

I have never experienced this. Where do you have ads at gas stations?

Pringles,

That’s because both Ukraine and Russia are about to have a generation that is much smaller in numbers due to the lingering effects of WW2. Especially Ukraine is hesitant of throwing that generation into the meat grinder of war and it is speculated that this was one of the factors regarding the timing of this war, because in a way it was now or never for Russia.

Pringles,

Wasn’t every meal technically soup?

Pringles,

Ah yes, the salad theory 😁

Pringles,

A lot of plug-in hybrid owners took the state support to buy an ICE with a smaller gas tank. And it also can drive electric, but nobody does that.

Pringles,

TIL Trump built the supporting wall of my chicken pen.

Pringles,

Reminds me of a script a colleague has where it would sometimes accidentally wipe the entire production folder on a server. I pointed out the risk in his script and explained how to correct it like 2 years ago, give or take. He said he did, but then last week it happened again because apparently he had several scripts like that and only corrected one.

You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t force it to drink.

Pringles,

My schadenfreude is ramping up. I don’t see him wiggling out.

Pringles,

Simply lovely

Pringles,

No, that is unacceptable discourse! You may disagree strongly with them, but by dehumanizing them with such statements you prove yourself no better than them. They are not animals or things, they are people with very different views, with emphasis on people.

Pringles,

Sounds like your average civilization game, to be honest. Freakishly addictive

I am genuinely horrified to see how much data google collected from me

I created a google takeout and in that zip file I found some files containing a ton of data about me. It has logged every single page I visited while using the google search engine and chrome browser. It even logged every single time I opened an app on my old android phone. It even has VOICE RECORDINGS of me and a log of every...

Pringles,

It’s actually quite ironic that the best phone to degoogle your life is sold by google.

Pringles,

He invaded in 2014 already, so he must have a time machine.

Pringles,

How do you find these? You search alternative video players or is there some site where you enter a youtube url and it gives you alternatives?

Pringles,

I used to have the app, but that was ad galore. Now when I browse it, usually for some book series, with firefox and some ad blockers, it’s perfectly fine to read and browse. So I don’t really get the hate, but that might be because I don’t usually browse it for new content, but as a reference for finished series, like the wheel of time.
