If I visit the States, should I visit Micihgan, Missssssppq, or the sunny Pqsqr keys?

The “metro station” looks a bit like someone lifted one platform of the Greenwich DLR station and dropped it on a car park.

The Sukhoi Su-30 and Su-30SM fighters cost Russia $20m a piece by conservative estimates, with some sites quoting double that cost. The Su-24 bomber is an old model from the 70s-90s and the only figure I can find is $25m.

This might have cost Russia $140m minimum in a single strike, not to mention reducing their capability to maintain offensive or defensive actions. They also destroyed more a couple of days ago, also at Saky.

Not shabby.

Strange take. The article is in no way suggesting appeasement, and is entirely critical of Putin as a leader.

he is committed to staying in Russia out of a sense of “destiny”

More like “density”.

If a chicken coop didn’t have a lockable door, was on an island or raft in a body of water, and housed ducks instead of chickens, yeah.

That’s the exact point OP is making. Humans do primate things because they’re primates.

The other catarrhine monkeys don’t have umbrellas, though, so we’re clearly superior.

Just to add to this - the first picture is an unnamed novelty duck house near the ground of Pena palace. It’s only a few feet high.

The second is the Torre da Regaleira.

Thanks! I did wonder whether it might be a noun that was a cognate of “cord” (as in rope, cable, string), but I don’t speak a word of Portuguese.

According to the YouTube captions, the person in the first clip says, “Gente! Gente, acorda a corda, velho!”, which is, “Guys! Guys, wake up the rope, man!”

The person in the second clip says, “Ai, meu Deus do ćeu!”, which is apparently just, “Oh my God” – going by tone, I wouldn’t say the second person had noticed the issue, but it sounded like the first one did and was in disbelief.

I hate the idea of arguing in Musk’s favor, but Starlink use by Russians has generally been achieved by them obtaining foreign terminals.

The last estimate I saw was something like 340,000 Russian casualties

You missed a million! Circa 1,339,190 Russians killed or injured since the invasion began.

Hey, hey, 16K
What does that get you today?
You need more than that for a letter
Old-school RAMpacks are much better

Hah, just a quick search for the image, but the point is that your average word processor is WYSIWYG – so much so that the phrase has fallen out of fashion, because any other concept (e.g. a TeX client like LaTeX) is foreign to your typical user. You edit the formatted document directly, and it’ll always look the same on screen and print as it did at the point of edit.

Granted you can enable alternate views in MS Word, like draft layout or web layout, but they’re not the default.

It certainly has been marketed as one, but regardless, it is one. The commenter you’ve replied to isn’t saying otherwise, they’re saying it’s difficult to achieve the desired outcome.

This is C#, isn’t it?

I desperately hope you’re right, but I suspect this is naïvely optimistic.

I’m not sure any amount of image correction will make those sausages less criminal.
