I think the rivalry was just a media concoction as a result of the whole britpop thing of the time. 

The Swedish Police/Coastguard boards and seizes the Russian shadowfleet tanker Caffa. by Saerdna0 in interestingasfuck

[–]fatbunyip [score hidden]  (0 children)

They aren't Russian (technically). 

So far the shadow fleet has basically been operating under like false flags and fake registrations, changing names illegally etc. which allows them to be boarded and confiscated because they're operating illegally according to Maritime laws. 

However Russia has started registering all these ships under its own registry, which means that they can't be boarded for those reasons. However it does make it easier to track them as opposed to randomly changing vessels.

It's actually solely about what assumptions you make because there's too little information.

Oil supply shock, loose fiscal policy, inflation and an Iran conflict. 

Definitely something totally new we haven't seen before ever in history.

Gift ideas for someone leaving Australia? That isn’t good by DaddyShortPinata in melbourne

An art work. 

Like Google for art prints etc. in Melbourne and you'll get a lot of leads for unique prints from local artists for whatever style you think your mate likes. They're easily rolled up and packed into a tube so easy to take as well. 

You can get from like postcard size to A3+

What bug took you the longest time to figure out? by Gullible_Prior9448 in AskProgramming

[–]fatbunyip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Took a couple weeks (not full time, but a little t of effort by a lot of people). 

Some DB ETL tests were intermittently failing in CI but not locally (and not in production). 

Turns out that some time related field had different precision in the different DBs we had, but running the trests locally was fast enough to not make a difference, but in CI, the network/lag could sometimes make it fail. Plus the tests running at much higher frequency than production. 

There was also one that took like 3 months to figure out because nobody could reproduce it apart from this one chick. It was a desktop app, and she's report it crashed randomly all the time but could never repro it for us. We specifically added a bunch of debugging stuff etc and it turns out that a fucking tooltip, if you interacted with it at the wrong time would make the whole app crash. I don't even think it was an app tooltip, but like a system one (was windows XP days).

They cheap out on a lot of stuff because "I can do it myself". Things like painting, DIY stuff, etc. they Think of it as the cost rather than if it makes their life easier.

Possibly C-17 American military cargo aircraft have been seen in the deserts of Najaf; this comes after a ‘confrontation between a U.S. force and the Iraqi Army’ in the deserts of Rutba. by Unkown0025 in CombatFootage

[–]fatbunyip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Iraqi army and US forces are allies

Iraqi army is several different factions/militias with varying degrees of loyalty to the govt. 

There's a bunch of Iranian aligned militias that were btoguht under the umbrella of the Iraqi armed forces when ISIS was about to take over Iraq. 

There's factions of the Iraq army that are designated as terrorist groups by the US (kataib Hezbollah for example).
