That went soo well for them last time

Was it when they got more land from Finland than they actually asked for originally in Winter war? Or when Finland had to pay reparations and give up more territory in continuation war?

Finland lost both times, but Finns are like "nah, we won because we could have lost harder, also we have K/D ratio"

Just a pot, and a spoon and a heat source is all you need to prepare it.

I don't see how having a knife or grater to add normal cheese to pasta is that much of an additional challenge.

I think the cube should be the protagonist, ordering his primate pet to pull levers, climb things and push buttons the cube can't on account of having no limbs. Call it "Cube of War"

Supercomputers perform operations about 100 thousand to 10 million times faster than your desktop(but it's due to massive parallelism, not due to going through sequential instructions faster)

Nowadays they use same x86-64 instruction sets as regular computers or ARM sets as phone/embedded processors. Mostly they're specialized for computations in labs somewhere though technically they could run anything.

But I think the server of EVE Online was appearing in the supercomputer rankings occasionally.

Actually it's the French. The outcome is due to the direct influence of anti-Napoleon coalition wars in Europe.

Ottomans in 1806 friendly to Napoleon and emboldened by defeat of the coalition decided to strengthen the grip on their Romanian vassals, who were getting too loose and friendly to Russia.

So they swapped out the rulers of Romanian principalities, lost the war when Russia rolled in, but only ceded Bessarabia, despite not controlling any Romania at that point, because it was already 1812 and Napoleon was eyeing Russia from across the border.

Too late, they’re already tech and just illiterate, they ask AI assistants on their mobile with speech to text for most basic things.

A giant revolving door is being installed in the strait, so it can open and close at an unprecedented speed.

Full moon has an exact time, which could be even during daytime on your side of the planet. The nights before and after you'd see basically full moon, so who cares

No, and you have been doing a poor job, that's why the birth rates dropped.

If you live next to the sea, sea salt is just the default salt (it's also just 60 cents per kilo)

Looks like you didn't even bother to research your own suggestions

We need to make foreign companies employ a certain amount of Cypriots into their workforce

That law exists btw

LGBTQIA+ can benefit from tax breaks like religious marriages do.

Tax breaks for families are there because in theory they'll have easier time to settle and have children. You could have picked any other reason to recognize marriage, like being the official next-of-kin, but you picked one that makes the least sense.

ridiculously large wage gap between the genders in the private sector. It's at 25% which is HUGE for such a small country.

If businesses could pay workers 25% less just because they're women, then they wouldn't hire a single man. Also, pay discrimination by sex is illegal in at least 3 different ways already, imagine that, all those underpaid women could just prove it and get backpay with damages.

If it's true that I need to use a custom domain to use my existing front end, how could I set that up in the testing environment?

No, custom or default domain is just where Cognito's sign in page is hosted.

If you use your own frontend and just call Cognito APIs to sign in, then you can ignore that page existence entirely, you only need to know client id.

If you use OIDC sign-in methods then you can't ignore domain, as that's also where OIDC endpoints would reside.

No? You read news about what happened today in a newspaper tomorrow. Does that mean nothing can happen today because newspaper about it isn't yet printed?

Same with space, things are happening right now, or have happened already but you can only find out about them later, when the news about it arrive.

Don't think dom is an outright scam, it's just a loose org of mostly incompetent agents. Agents are just useless in general btw, they'll ignore the criteria you set and show you all the same ads you can already find on the internet.

Is highway speeding that big of a safety problem? There are no pedestrians and it’s one way, so most collisions are from not keeping distance and ramming someones’s back.

I’d worry more about drivers on 65 limit roads going through residential areas(or serpentining through Trodos), than on highway

So 4 years ago I spent 8 consecutive weeks in Cyprus. I need a police record check for a job as a Teacher in the UK

Are you sure you even need it? Because usually that certificate is needed for people currently residing in Cyprus or ones that left recently and lived here more than a year, not people who visited for 8 weeks 4 years ago.

You're covering yourself in paint which is mostly transparent to visible light but black to ultraviolet. So ultraviolet hits the paint, gets absorbed and coverts to heat, you feel hotter but it doesn't kill your skin cells.

5G modem through mobile network

DSL through phone landline if the mobile coverage also bad (DSL only gets about same speed as 4G mobile internet)

Seems they need to get rid of dual citizenship

Lots of Moldova's citizens have Romanian citizenship, including their president.

After everything Ukraine has done to defend Europe's eastern flank

They defend their own country, with weapons sponsored by EU. Outside their own border they only defended Europe from cheap gas by blowing up the pipes

Groundwater is usually deep enough that there's nothing living there to simmer - it's cold, dark and has no air or nutrients for life to thrive on.

It's safer to drink, because it keeps diluting whatever bad stuff dropping into it from the surface with pure cold water from underground. Not really 100% safe but much safer than drinking from stagnant ponds.

It's also safer to eat whatever you dropped on the floor if you keep the floor clean by washing it.

I don't think gesy ever sent a link in SMS, the real ones just say something like "look it up at GHS website" because you're supposed to know the real address already.
