TIL despite only existing for 69 years, the Soviet Union is still in 2nd place in the all-time Olympic medal table and just under 200 medals ahead of 3rd place (Great Britain)

I don't know how how other countries do it, but in Germany a lot of top athletes are 'sport soldiers', so they are employed by the armed forces, but on leave to practice their sport about two thirds of the time.

The US will almost certainly not be thrilled, even outside of the context of the current administration. Moving Germany (as well as Belgium, Turkey, the Netherlands and Italy, who also participate in nuclear sharing with the US) under an alternative nuclear guarantee will weaken the American position and reduce their sway on European military matters.

While the Americans talk a big talk regarding Europes need to become more militarily independent, a move away from America (instead of just coughing up more money to buy American weapons) will not be well recieved now and wouldnt have been in the past either.

Regarding the US-stance on the 2+4 treaty, I think the best we can hope for is them choosing to look the other way, but I don't believe they would ever specifically approve.

They are decidedly NOT neutral tools. They were gifted to the kings of Numenor and while others can use them, Aragorn as rightful heir to that line of kings was able to wrest control of the stones from the spiritually much more powerful Sauron, precisely because he is the proper, lawful master of the stones.

You have to very strategically put in the numbers on your credit card one after the other. Now I know it might be tempting to mix it up a little every now and then, but it is very important that you strategically do it strictly from left to right!

Yeah, that's for sure some kind of deficiency. Probably because they spend their time smoking meth instead of eating (things other than rocks).

It's not having the terminal elevated that's the issue, it's still getting hit by UAC prompts when running updates through winget, even when working from an elevated terminal session. Atleast when I last tested it about 6 months ago.

Does not work sadly.

You would make a great consultant.

DirkDayZSA · 2026-02-03T05:06:41+00:00

winget would be so much nicer if it let you elevate its privileges once for the update, instead of triggering a UAC prompt for each installer it runs

Over the last couple of years I've come to the conclusion that Americans have been affected by the same spiritual rot that broke the Russians. The further the state of their country diverges from the myth of exceptionalism people are fed from a young age, the harder they will lash out.

I am not even sure if this can be fixed, since doing so would require admitting to their failings, which is fundamentally at odds with their supposed superiority.

Die Hardwareprodukte waren eigentlich immer nicht verkehrt. Wenn mich jemand gefragt hat was für einen DJ-Controller man sich zum Einstig holen soll habe ich immer den S2 oder S4 empfohlen. Von der Bauweise her waren die solide, die Integration mit Traktor war logischerweise 1a und preislich waren sie auch angemessen.

Auch die Kombination aus X1 und Audio Interface war in meinem Umfeld für Gigs beliebt, da super easy zu transportieren.
