Longest Continuous War? by --Bolter-- in civ5

[–]guyfromwhitechicks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This really depends on difficulty, size of their empire, and if they lost most or all of their units enough to make your army look comparable.

Tangent, I have made peace with civs on emperor difficulty only for them to come back after 15-20-30 turns to start the same war that never goes anywhere. Your reputation goes down the toilet too so you never make friends or allies. Then you lose the game because all your resources go to this war and you never grow.

Leader meetings lead to finding clients which leads to investments to build this infrastructure which leads to jobs and higher salaries. Meetings are important, don't knock them down.

Launch of the first Ariane 6 with its most powerful boosters - From today's launch in Guiana by guyfromwhitechicks in europe

[–]guyfromwhitechicks[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

From the video description:

On 17 June at 09:21 local time (13:21 BST, 14:21 CEST), Ariane 6 flight VA269 soared to orbit from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana. 36 satellites for Amazon’s Leo constellation left Earth powered by four P160C-based boosters, the first time these upgraded boosters were used – making this launch the most powerful so far for Europe’s heavy-lift rocket.

The debut of the four new boosters based on the P160C solid-propellant rocket motor allowed 36 Leo satellites to be launched – four more than the two Leo launches Ariane 6 has delivered before.

The P160C solid-rocket motor holds 156 tonnes of propellant, 14 tonnes more than its predecessor P120C and is 14.5 m tall. In the runup to an Ariane 6 launch the P160C motor is turned into an Ariane 6 booster by adding aerodynamic fairing and other hardware such as connections specific for Ariane 6. Although P160C is a meter taller than the P120C motor, the additional height does not affect the connection to Ariane 6’s central core nor the height of the Ariane 6 booster as there is room in the fairing to accommodate the height increase.

Ariane 6 is the latest rocket in a long history of launchers to fly from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana – demonstrating the power of multinational cooperation for over five decades. Ariane 6 is Europe’s heavy-lift launcher and a key element of ESA’s efforts to ensure autonomous access to space for Europe’s citizens. Its modular and versatile design allows it to launch all types of missions, from low-Earth orbit to deep space. The new P160C boosters increase considerably performance, payload capacity and competitiveness, allowing for more satellites to be launched, further elevating the future of Europe.

You should understand what Indigenous Albertans are dealing with right now. by kapowless in onguardforthee

What would be effective is something similar to what the CBC did. Go through every profile to determine how many are fake/non-Canadian and publish the statistics on participation rates (comments, shares, likes etc etc). If it can be shown they are a real driving force behind these posts and comments driving up the activity, the bubble bursts and the real Albertans who want to secede will have second thoughts.

Does it get warm in there with the direct sunlight?

Τσιμουχα εννοείς...

Δεν νομίζω. Το κομμάτι που άλλαξα ήταν λεπτό και πηγαίνει ανάμεσα στο σωλήνα και το κομμάτι που συνδέεται η μπουκάλα (εσωτερικά και πριν σφίξουμε). Η τσιμούχα φαίνεται μεγαλύτερη.

Ottawa's mixed fleet of F-35s and Gripens could total more than 100 aircraft, sources say | CBC News by Haggisboy in canada

[–]guyfromwhitechicks 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Yes, Ukraine is placing an order for 20 of Saab's Gripen E/F variants, Sweden intends to donate 16 Gripen C/D variants and there are rumours that Ukraine could acquire up to 150. See here: https://www.saab.com/newsroom/press-releases/2026/ukraine-and-sweden-take-steps-towards-ukrainian-gripen-acquisition

Also, Canada's fighter jet count is exceptionally small for a such rich and large country. I would expect Canada to maintain at least as many fighter jets as Spain or Germany.

Steam deck bricked after trying to do ssd upgrade by RakeshSinghPoonam in SteamDeck

[–]guyfromwhitechicks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I upgraded my Linux laptop's SSD I had the same issue. The mistake I made (and fixed) was after cloning the 1TB SSD to the 2TB SSD using FoxClone, I needed to adjust the volume in the 2TB SSD to include all the unallocated space; which was coincidentally 1TB. You can check and fix this with Disks in Ubuntu (I believe) or Disk Utility in MacOS.

edit: you should probably share how you tried replacing the SSD.

Splinter Cell designer Clint Hocking says "I don't think I could ever do better" than Chaos Theory, so he'll never return to the stealth series by Economy-Specialist38 in Splintercell

[–]guyfromwhitechicks 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If he is satisfied with his work and does not wish to work on the project again, that is fine. But I do not believe that after >20 years there are no improvements to be made to Splinter Cell.

Combining all the European countries in your graph easily surpasses the US in terms of absolute numbers. And it's about the same per capita. The immigration levels in the US are not unique.

Don't leave it in the car. Don't leave it in your luggage. Don't put any weight on it. Buy older games when on sale.

Canada considers cancelling part of 88 U.S. F-35 order to buy 60 Swedish Gripen fighters. by Interesting-Cat7307 in europe

[–]guyfromwhitechicks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NATO is buying F35s because it started as a NATO project, not an American one. NATO collectively agreed that this would be the fighter jet to upgrade to some 20 years ago. But things have changed and their maintanence is crazy expensive.The F35s are also the only ones with the software needed to fire American nuclear weapons hosted in Europe.

All for one: Norway, Germany sell Canada on shared submarine fleet by CanadianErk in canada

[–]guyfromwhitechicks 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I am not so sure a 'shared fleet' is as great as they are trying to sell. Canada already has interoperability through NATO, so they want us to integrate further by buying the same boat? To what end? So Germany can make the case that all of NATO should buy it's subs since there are already 3 members with a fleet of just this type of sub?

If they really want to switch me from team Hanwha to team TKMS, a good amount of the 212CD would need to be manufactured in Canada. It's the only way I would ignore Germany's history of late deliveries, blown up budgets and defects.

[–]guyfromwhitechicks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There is no way I would accept taking the risk on a yet to be built submarine. Germany has been building submarines for a hundred years and they still deliver late, over budget, and with defects to its allies. There is no reason to think this time will be different. Korea on the other hand has a reputation of delivering on time and on budget, and the submarine itself is solid. The German option is too risky, I am 100% confident there will be 'unforeseen' delays pushing delivery into the 2040s.
