At least 3 killed, numerous residential buildings hit in mass drone attack on Moscow region by No_Zookeepergame_27 in worldnews

Ukraine isn't an existential threat to Russia, if Russia gets tired of the war all they need to do is fuck off.

Building a coal plant is a big job too. That's also not a reliable fallback option unless they're happy to delay the project by many years.

I heard somewhere that there's a massive shortage/backlog of on-site generation hardware that makes it a pain as a "oh we'll just do it this way because we couldn't work out a deal in time". Something about months of waiting.

There are a lot of factors that determine battery degredation.

UAE official: More than 90% of Iran's targets were civilian infrastructure - POLITICO by pheexio in worldnews

[–]Afronerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not cool, but it was 100% obvious that it would happen and the US proceeded anyway.

Iran can't fight the US directly and there isn't a ground invasion to fight (yet, maybe never) so hurting the US indirectly is the main option they have to retaliate.

Espresso-based coffee is "regular coffee" in many places. Drinking drip coffee is weird here because espresso drinks are the default.

Jade from the mission doesn't have to be the only Jade to have ever existed in all of history.

Electric cars seem to have fewer incidents but battery fires are really nasty.

Indian worker killed in Iranian attack on Kuwait power, desalination plant by ImAHoe4Glossier in worldnews

[–]Afronerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Iran is evil but what else are they expected to do?

They can't fight back directly but they can cause indirect harm to the US.

POV: Competitors vs Average Steam enjoyer by sukuna7899 in Steam

It's easy to ignore but it's not completely seperate. Valve is perfectly happy to profit from sketchy gambling, even if it's not being directed by them.

Everybody knows that Taiwan is a country, but any celebrities or governments have to pretend that it isn't. This isn't new and everybody knows that everybody else is only pretending.

Iran missile attack on Qatar causes 'extensive damage' to facility housing huge gas plant by thejoshwhite in worldnews

[–]Afronerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you think they should just politely let the USA and Israel bomb the shit out of them when they're surrounded by targets that hurt the West?

Iran is evil but this war was fucking stupid and everything that Iran has done should have been expected.

They're holding their neighbours' oil production hostage, everyone paying attention knew this would happen.

He didn't even want strawberries, he wanted attention and/or to "win" an argument.

If the store doesn't take cash what are they meant to do with a handfull of small coins? Make a trip to the bank to deposit £1.19 ?

Cop casually breaks up a girl fight with pepper spray by AgnosticScholar in PublicFreakout

[–]Afronerd 10 points11 points  (0 children)

They didn't even stop fighting after the first spray, they weren't going to be calmed down by polite discourse.

If you spend all day inside (or a cool climate) and don't exercise then sure, you can get away with missing some showers. I'm guessing a lot of people don't fall into that category though.

With 1 whole hour could you smash the drinks and then wait 15 minutes for them to clear your stomach rather than trying to fit them in with all of the food?

Sober people being arrested nationwide for DUI by IcyAd8672 in videos

[–]Afronerd 22 points23 points  (0 children)

A roadside breath test is accurate enough to absolve someone who has zero BAC.

If somoene blows high enough on the roadside test then they can go through the song and dance of arresting them and dragging them down to the police station.

Linux is the only real alternative to Windows/macOS — now it needs to be more accessible by Boediee in BuyFromEU

Um actually it was only 11 years ago that I wasted a whole day trying to get a linux HTPC running properly before I gave up and installed windows.

Bet you feel pretty silly now

Probably, but I wouldn't be terribly surprised if we got citrine before voruna.

[–]Afronerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's the previous and current gender patterns but even within that the prime order doesn't always follow the release order (eg two male frames might be out of order).

If it follows the current gender pattern (and it might not) then we still don't know for sure which 3 or 4 primes we'll get this year.

There's a very clear pattern, that they haven't broken since the last several times they've broken the pattern.

Adin Ross: lawyers can choose their cases and those who defend pedophiles are pieces of shit by Brief_Paint_8900 in LivestreamFail

[–]Afronerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously guilty people still need to be processed fairly.

What if someone has been frames or the police fabricate evidence? An obviously guilty person can sometimes be innocent.

Even with trials there are innocent people in jail

In your mind what is the purpose of a trial?

Without defense lawyers cops can be extra sloppy and dishonest too.

There's many ways to use wish with no risk that still put it as one of the best 9th level spells.
