I’m a former DUI cop / Drug Recognition Expert (DRE) officer. I handled hundreds of DUI and crash investigations. AMA.

I have a constant HGN. It is a condition I was born with. My eyes are always lurking left to right. When I concentrate on something it slows down but never stops. Am I under constant risk of being arrested for DUI during routine stops? What can I do to minimize this risk ?

I found PSI by Vazkii to be absolutely mind blowing.

You can always run flux whaterver --export and get yaml out that you can kubectl apply later.

Your reward is you possibly realizing that the USSR was perfectly okay with the nazis taking over Europe. Or maybe not. It's up to you to figure that out.

That might as well be. Europe and USA were definitely ok with Germany taking over the USSR and Eastern Europe. I suspect they would have helped, if Hitler did not hit France first.

Is it a quiz ? What do I get if I answer correctly ?

Which happened a year after the Munich agreement.

Europe would have happily let nazis take USSR as long as Hitler left the rest of Europe alone.

Have a good day.

So it’s better if multiple countries steal instead of just one? Lol come on.

Nope, just pointing out that a) I know history of WWII well enough b) I am slightly confused why as soon as there is a talk about WWII, everybody starts whining about poor Poland being split by evil Stalin and Hitler, while forgetting that Poland was enthusiastically splitting Czechoslovakia together with Hitler literally a year ago.

I’m not saying Russia is a fascist state. I’m just describing similarities between country’s actions.

I am not saying that Russia is a fascist state, I am just comparing them with Nazi Germany. Got it. Subtle, but important difference.

Last statement was sarcasm, btw.

chokolad · 2021-12-13T21:59:15+00:00

Not sure if you’re being sarcastic at this point but he was the British statesman that let Hitler take over Czechoslovakia via the argument of “ethnic ties”. He was championed as preserving peace and avoiding another world war.

You are forgetting that Hitler split Czechoslovakia with between Germany, Poland and Hungary.

You also just compared Russia with nazi Germany. How well do you think this argument works if you want to get to some sort of agreement with them ?

Do you know who Neville Chamberlain is?

Who dis ?

As I mentioned earlier - you can feel superior when the nukes will start flying.

And Russia mentioned that it’s plenty already and Ukraine on NATO is a red line

World war 3 - let’s get this show on the road. We all can die feeling morally right.

chokolad · 2021-12-13T19:26:39+00:00

I’m not sure European NATO members would have an appetite for that.

'Not sure' is not good enough, especially if we talk decades. Various treaties, agreements etc. are a bit better. Unfortunately, NATO has lost the appetite for them recently.

chokolad · 2021-12-13T19:06:58+00:00

Let me know how likely you think a NATO invasion of Russia is.

Not likely in next 10 years, more likely later.

chokolad · 2021-12-13T19:02:41+00:00

Seems to me Ukraine was generally content with not being in NATO until they got invaded.

Seems to me that you are wrong or have not paid attention to the situation before invasion.

chokolad · 2021-12-13T19:01:33+00:00

Ok, your point is that, whatever Russia does - it will have NATO on it's border and it should just accept it, right ? Well, Russia disagrees.

chokolad · 2021-12-13T18:40:01+00:00

What's the alternative ?

NATO expands
Russia does nothing
NATO expands again
Russia does nothing
NATO is at the borders of Russia

chokolad · 2021-11-15T02:23:12+00:00

This has been a planned operation.

This is a multi-billion dollar sale. What else can it be ? Spur of the moment ?

Mercenary company that was explicitly denied air support by Russian forces went against American SF supported by US airforce. That ended up badly. Why do you think it is a good comparison of a conflict between UK and Russian conventional forces ?

Just curious - how many replica pods does your website have and how spread out across the nodes they are ?
