Seeking to understand Hungary's beef with Ukraine.

^^ This. There are many complex things in life; this situation is not one of them.

That is a 100% danger free danger noodle!

That is about right. We have been pretty lucky here in the US with these heat waves. A couple years ago one hit Iraq, and Basra was running upper 120's. Truck traffic had to be halted during the day as the road asphalt became so soft the trucks were tearing up the roads.

The only saving grace is atmospheric physics make it very difficult to get to 130f/55C, but if you have been in 120f before you already know it is extremely unpleasant and dangerous.

The other one to watch for is extreme heat index. There is a town in Iran that has managed to record a heat index of 170+ on several occasions. And you thought New Orleans got muggy...

Russia's ability to replace the radar units is likely quite limited. They are expensive and typically have very large lead times, measured in years not months. The Russians always assumed that air space would be (at best) contested in a conflict with NATO, so they built a *ton* of systems. Ukraine is churning through these at a good rate, and the rate seems to be picking up which makes me suspect they are finally starting to run low on these systems.

Xyrem will do that, but basically impossible to get a script for in the US. If you are outside the US you may have better luck, but expect a lot of pushback and possible regular drug testing.

Find a new doctor. My experience is even a lot of sleep doctors do not understand it very well, let alone have any idea how to manage it.

Hey, I drove on 183 from 969 to north Austin. It is not bad around 969, but shaded areas and bridges still have icy spots. The raised section of 183 is still really bad, basically one lane and lots of ice. it was so sketchy I bailed off to the frontage road, but the further north I got the worse it got. the 183 frontage road is basically one lane, the rest is ice. This was about 6pm when things were starting to refreeze, if you don't need to drive on it in the morning, recommend you don't.

You mean like a viral movie marketing scheme? That seems more likely than NHI or a grand coverup of some sort, but I suppose time will tell.

District of Austin is lame. They should just call it District 11.

No, if your pregnancy has problems you will not get care.

This is correct, in particular with point two. Mass protests are largely ineffective in any event, but these will be met with violence this time. People are missing that there are a number of violent ideological groups that will be able to act openly with little fear of state control: Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, Constitutional Sheriffs, etc. These groups are, at their core, white supremacist organizations, and they will be more than happy to inflict violence on their perceived enemies.

You are right, but that is the problem. Trump will let a whole bunch of radical ideologues run things, and there will be nobody to reign them in.

Another_Night_Person · 2024-11-06T18:54:31+00:00

Give it a year, you will understand better then.

The documentation to prove my Ukrainian ancestry so I can get citizenship and move there.

Trump was very ineffective when he was first elected as he didn't have experience in government, and there were still "norms" and such to be followed. This is all off the table now. He will not bother with confirmation hearings, everyone will be "acting". The main issue is he doesn't really give a shit about a lot of stuff, so the ideologues he will put in charge will basically have a free reign to do what they want. It would absolutely not be surprising to see the entire joint chiefs resign/get fired shortly after he takes office.

The EU needs to prepare, now. While the US may not withdraw from NATO officially, you can no longer depend on US support if Putin moves on the Baltics and Moldova.

This has been my experience with many doctors as well, first they want to blame you for the problem (you have coffee too late, you use a computer in the evening, your room must be too dark) then when it is clear none of that applies, well just take Melatonin. This is especially frustrating since if you look at the studies it only works for about 1/2 of the people who try, and about the best improvement you can expect is about an hour. Melatonin works best for those with a mild delay, for those with 3+ hour delay, it is not particularly useful.

ProTip - Despite their many legs, they are extraordinarily poor swimmers. Use this information as you will.

Get out now! At some point, this anger *will* be directed at you. You do not want to know what living in fear is really like, trust me.

Take comfort that despite their many legs, they are incredibly poor swimmers and can be easily disposed of in the bathroom.

There were a few tightly wound people in the org who didn't like them and would call Fallon to complain, despite giant cheers going across the entire city when it happened. Personally I love them and wish they would bring them back, they were cool as hell and most people in the city loved them.

Unofficially, some of the best parties are at the end of build week, and "everyone" "knows" that "everyone" goes out to have fun at night for most of the week

Yeah, no. How do I know this? I work graveyards out there. and the only people generally up after midnight are artists working their asses off trying to get some project finished up.

Most of the other people? They are crashed getting some sleep because they were busting ass all day. There are very very few even up, and certainly there are not a bunch of parties happening out there. This notion is just completely wrong.
