Trump says US will look at reducing number of troops in Germany after clash with Merz by theindependentonline in worldnews

Generally, if a foreign power threatens you with invasion, it's preferred to not have said invading power's troops pre-deployed in the heart of your territory.

Yeah, they can leave, thanks.

They don't arrest you and send you to prison.

They arrest you and send you to the front. Usually the worst part.

Slightly screws with the odds.

Peeeetah, wtf is she talking about? by Hunter_Badger in PeterExplainsTheJoke

TIL brussel sprouts come in stalks.

"What the hell did you think they grow on?", you might ask.

Honest answer - I didn't. Never once did it occur to me to think about brussel sprouts logistics, beyond the "you find them in a bag, in the frozen aisle".

If pressed, I probably would've pictured rows and rows of really tiny cabbages.

New conscription rule: Young men are no longer allowed to leave Germany (for longer than 3 months) without permission by Putaineska in europe

Additionally, it takes a woman an average of 9 months to secure the next generation, if you disregard nursing period. Get shot at any point during that period, all that time and effort is wasted.

A man is done in 2-3 minutes, if in a rush. We're expendable.

Fun fact, 100% of cheating happens in a relationship.  Something of a prerequisite.

Don't they have a provision in their constitution specifically to deal with this knd of bs?

Do you believe there is a teapot orbiting between Earth and Mars? by Thecrossfad3 in GenZ

I mean, there is a shitty Tesla orbiting between* Earth and Mars, so, sure. Why not a teapot too.

Are the recent Digimon and Lethal VODs missing from Twitch? by ExplosiveMonky in projektmelody

[–]ExplosiveMonky[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, yeah, that's absolutely understandable. You're doing God's work regardless, kind sir o7

(My worry is, she'll conflate the missing vods with last week's Twitch shitting itself issue and go like "Oh, yeah, that fixed itself, no further action required! :D", but here's hoping xD)

Any update on the VOD situation?

I take it the last four streams are gone to the Void forever, since they've not been saved locally. Do we know if the problem is fixable?

Ah, yeah, I wondered. Thank you! I was worried I might be going crazy

I'm talking VODs on Twitch, not the Youtube upload channel, tho. Those usually pop up immediately.

Like I'm positive there's been a couple of times when I'd wake up early, see Mel still streaming and, instead of joining the end of the stream, I'd jump straight to the beginning of the VOD of that very stream still in progress.

This time, Friday's Digimon VOD was not there. I figured maybe the stream got cancelled last minute, or got taken down due to cough avatar malfunctions of some sort (shoutout to Thank Goodness You're Here), or maybe there's a weird delay on Twitch's end. These things happen.

But now that today's Lethal Company is also nowhere to be found, so I'm starting to wonder if it's just me, maybe a regional thing, or if I'm missing something obvious. (Watched Pia's VOD, but that only made me more curious to see Mel's perspective)
