Blocking 80/443 knowing all to well everything depends on those: evil.
Throttling to 56k: the original original poster just being a dick.
Took 45 minutes: Maybe find another job. You’re not good at it.
Conclusion: The sister was right. Evil incompetent dick.
From a non US Perspective (most of the world) this is a non issue.
Because for the rest of the world the answer to this dilemma boils down to:
Do you want to be shook down by the big guy in the left corner with the can of coke in his hand or do you prefer to be fucked over by that big Asian guy in the right corner who’s slurping on his bubble tea?
I choose the one who demands the least.
After we tried to do our best to save Saab this is what you get.
Americanland! Let’s not forget that one.
There where three. The full din keyboard plug, serial for your mouse and that unholy thing on the back of your sound blaster on which you could connect a joystick.
Point? Like most gifts, there is no point. You just got it.
Thats how I treat my life: as a gift. Because what makes me me, existed as matter for eons. Inert. And by an insane oddity it got “infused” with life, thought, wonder but only for an extremely short while. And after that short period it will go back into that inert state. So i do nice things which are within my reach. Things that makes me feel good. And modern (western) society gives us a lot of time to do that. I know it doesn’t always feel like that but if you look at it historically we have the most off time ever.
Nice things can be anything. Maybe meaningless on the Grand scale of things, but I like making my family happy. I love cuddling my stinky old dog(well, not that old), I hate gardening but love the outcome of it. And yes, I love wasting time on movies, reading, gaming, theater. Or hikes. Or travel in general. The smell of the sea. The feeling of being in a forest. That first time you played “The last of us”. that one specific movie. Or read that one fantastic book. That feeling when you finished it. Or when you went to that insanely funny comedian. Or just hanged out drinking beers (or whatever )with friends or colleagues. Its all fantastic.
And most of the times I like my job and try to forward my little society with it. (I work for a municipality) Within my own little means.
So… meaning? Of life? Experience shit. Make up your own mind.
And please: don’t use big tech socials. They’re made so you don’t feel good, get addicted to them. Get you hooked. It and it’s goals (sell ads!) are evil.
I’ve been inert for eternity. I will not waste that little time I have. Experience something. Anything.
The issue with Musk is the very clear meddling in EU politics first, second his insane behavior and third, his Nazi salute.
If he kept in his lane and just kept his MAGA insanity stateside the Fallout would be a lot less worse.
But the moment he entered the EU political scene he murdered his brandS in the EU.
they will never recover. The damage was done at the worst time possible, when kia, Hyundai andthe entire German automobile industry went all out with EVs and China (byd) entered the EU EV market.
Tesla is done.
SELL. don’t HODL.
Nou, het zal wel. Iemand koffie met een stroopwafel?
You mean continue as it has been for the last few hundreds of years, got it.
Really, looking at world history I can’t really find a time of which I think: oh, it would’ve been nice to be Russian back then!
Being Russia(n) is just one giant cluster fuck and has been for a very long time. Or maybe not one giant, but several very big ones with small breaks of a few years in between.
So I’m happy I live in NL.
Vista was great. It just needed double the ram which was standard back then.
There are still functions of Vista MIA in w11. It was far ahead of it’s time.
15? I pay like 80 euro for 1 year m365 family. That’s 5 Terrabyte for 80/12=6,66 euro/month.
That’s less then a cent per GB. Much less. Combine that with Amazon photos (Unlimited photo storage, included with prime) and i’m set.
There is no cheaper storage plan.
Fyi, UK, NL, FR, ES etc all went with you on your “right of passage” sail throughs, against the chinese. Thats NATO.
Guess who can do that all on its own from now on.
Guess which countries also put sanctions on china? Your NATO partners.
Guess where the machines most chips are made with… Are being made? (NL says hi.)
If you stop scratching our back… Why should we still scratch yours? The chinese market is double yours. We can make more euros there then in your tariff hellscape.
Have fun having the biggest military for the time being. In a few years china has eclipsed yours.
Trump’s tantrums have made it very clear we should buy our military gear locally. So we will. Same will happen with cloud and tech. You can’t be trusted. One day everything is ok, next day everything is +25%
If this continues for a few more months it will mean the end of US hegemony. You will be left with nothing.
In the end we will make peace with Russia, simply because we must. The oil will flow west again in a few years leaving you with all the problems of fracking and zero gains.
Same will happen with china.
We will be allright, bud.
From an EU standpoint it doesn’t matter if the US, china or even Russia is our partner. It mattered because of history. But trump’s US chooses to flush it all down the drain. So we will check if the turd really went down.
We went east two times before. So you can’t say we never tried.
Three times a charm.
The most interesting problem now is, the biggest dependable Nato partner which is left is Turkey. Lets see how that pans out.
Yes you are.
Rustig, rustig. Het is nog geen augustus en we zijn nog niet in Zeeland.
Yes, you are right but your also wrong. The EU can and would fight back. It would not be an even fight, we would lose badly but it will be fought. And the US will get kicked the fuck out eventually. Because if history has proven anything then it is that the US can’t hold on territory because it loses its will to fight each and every time. The problem is, the US likes winning. It just doesn’t have the faintest idea what to do after.
Did biden do stupid shit? Sure. Did he made it worse? Yup. Was his at times clear and present dementia a deciding factor why trump has become president? Absofuckinglutely.
Is Biden the one proclaiming gaza a Trump realty project?
Most fucking certainly not.
As a dutchie I say both is true.
Yes, the Israeli mob brought it over themselves by chanting, insulting and attacking several people including a Dutch taxi driver of arab descent.
Fuck around, find out was a very appropriate way to describe what happened next.
Did it go too far? Was it even pathetic, wrong singling some strays out and attacking them with 5 or even more?
I know, fighting isn’t about being fair, it’s about winning but this was just stupid.
And that’s true also. It went too far. They where literally being hunted.
Also, this “editorial” is very biased. There is more then enough footage of israelis being molested by a group. This article says there’s no proof or whatever but there is. Like… A lot.
Read the book. Be it the bible, tora or koran. You dont have to read it very much, it’s in the beginning somewhere.
He is just saying:
It is YOUR choice to drink too much. To smoke too much, to get high on heroin, to do coke. To eat fatty sugary foods. It is your body, your temple. Not that of the government.
He is not talking about a law framework, he is talking about a moral framework. What right do YOU have to tell me what I can and cannot do when my actions can only hurt myself?
To take this one step further: All narcocrimes come from one simple fact: BECAUSE it’s illegal, the possible profits are so vast that any risk becomes acceptable to the Narcos.
Make it legal. Regulate it. Like we did with smokes and alcohol. Slap a 16/18+ sticker on it, add some tax.
We learned this during the prohibition, the gangster era. But for some reason or another we still use that proven False logic when it comes to narcotics.
Make something which people want illegal and there will be uncontrollable crime. That crime will harden. This (the current path of the us government) is not a solution, it is an escalation. There will be a response.
