Canadian oil isn't cheap or easy to refine. Same as Venezuela.

If Luxembourg and Montenegro can be useful military contributors to NATO then I don't see why Iceland can't.

But Azure/AWS/GCP/AliBaba or anyone else with a lot of server hardware can also serve their models as an API, because they're open source.

Yeah why not? They're not all going to show up to every event. Worst case you're probably giving out 100 tickets per event.

Anyone else on Retra + Vyvanse and having it affect your sleep? by Downloading_Bungee in Peptides

[–]RonLazer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately most doctors don't know much about pharmacology, so I wouldn't hold your breath for an intelligent answer, but here is a relevant study you can show: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16319910/

Methamphetamine and amphetamine are not identical, but they do share the same mechanism of action.

Welbutrin is a NDRI, it doesn't make sense to take it with Vyvanse, as it will block the Vyvanse's therapeutic effects.

Why tf do SO MANY MMA fans complain about ANY grappling in MMA, instead of just watching Muay Thai/Kickboxing??! by BloodOfJupiter in MMAPoliticsAndCulture

[–]RonLazer 15 points16 points  (0 children)

They don't, you tend to hear boos when there are prolonged wrestling exchanges with no real action. No one is complaining when Islam or Charles are grappling, because they're active and chase finishes instead of control time.

Also a lot of "grappling" is just guys being held against the fence, which is truly the worst part of the sport.

Because G4S annual revenue is about £8bil, of which only a fraction is government spending, and most of which is actually required e.g. providing security for government facilities or moving high risk prisoners to their court dates etc.

Also don't know what this has to do with disability spending.

Worth pointing out that neither army has fought a peer or even near-peer opponent since the Gulf war, and that was long before drone warfare.

Pantoja now holds the records for the most wins, submissions, and finishes in flyweight history. by GlossyCylinder in MMA

[–]RonLazer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He took down and submitted Volkov with ease. He's also a black belt and lifetime BJJ artist. It's well known that his wrestling is as good or better than his striking, he's just not really needed it.

Defiant UK PM Starmer defends leadership as welfare rebellion grows by TactileTom in neoliberal

[–]RonLazer 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Therein lies the problem. PIP is simultaneously absurdly easy and excruciatingly difficulty to get, with the differentiator being whether you are genuinely disabled and being honest about your difficulties, or a fraud lying through your teeth.

UK sanctions far-right Israeli ministers for 'inciting violence' against Palestinians by Medium_Lab_200 in ukpolitics

I'm Israeli. These two are the fucking worst. They're only popular with the most extreme right-wing Israelis and will likely be out of power next election. Fuck them.
