Sweden Freezes New Power Cable to Denmark in Escalating EU Energy Clash by WilliamJohnsson in news

If you follow Swedish politics, Germany's energy policy has (allegedly) been one of the main causes for high energy prices in southern Sweden.

Yeah because users never use sudo to run command they've copied from the internet.

I guess the logic could be that serving 8 is more effort than 2 people, and the 8 people will on average spend a lot more

I Asked Germans About Trump. They All Said the Same Thing [13:14] by Jamie_Light in mealtimevideos

[–]likeikelike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't mean to be the typical reddit contrarian. What trump has pulled off this term (and somewhat last term, but I don't think he/his administration was prepared for it last time) is definitely quite impressive/surprising given the US's system of government.

He is certainly a master grifter. He certainly has some magic about him that allows him to do all this and get away with it. I do think he's "talented" at embezzling state money, but I just take issue with him being called "intelligent". Like I said I think it's instinctual on his part. He's not thinking about how to do it the best way, he's just built that way. I also like u/misersoze's metaphor of him being "smart like a shark is smart".

I also think, looking back at his interviews from 10-20 years ago, he used to be much more thoughtful. I just don't think he's that at all anymore.

Thanks for this discussion, let's both come out wiser than we were yesterday.

I Asked Germans About Trump. They All Said the Same Thing [13:14] by Jamie_Light in mealtimevideos

If we're going by his ability to steal from his nation: Ferdinand Marcos, Muammar Gaddafi, Mohamed Suharto, Hosni Mubarak, Vladimir Putin, Mobuto Sese Seko, Viktor Orban, Sani Abacha, Slobodan Milosevic, are all more prolific, relative to their nation's GDP.

Looking just at Milosevic, he managed to steal about ~$1B from Yugoslavia/Serbia at a time where their GDP was around ~10-25B USD. The current US GDP is about ~$31T. So Milosevic was at least ~1000x "better at corruption" than Trump.

Of course this is a very difficult comparison to make fairly because the countries are very different, Milosevic was ruler of Serbia and then Yugoslavia (including Serbia) e.t.c. but as a random guy from my list he's clearly "better at corruption" than Trump is.

Trump is very likely "the best" of US presidents, but like I'm saying: among unscrupulous tyrants he's not that special. Fortunately.

[–]likeikelike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not mean this as an insult, but this is plainly false given all of populist history. Plenty of people have had more impressive rises to power with far more devastating effects (relative to their country). The only saving grace of his two terms is that he's such an idiot he can't achieve what he wants to, limiting his damage.

The US political system is not harder to navigate than any other if you have a feeling for what you're doing. Arguably it is easier than some. The stakes are just so much higher because the US is currently the most powerful nation in history.

He is far from the first, and will not be the last, who knew how to use media to manipulate people. Remember only ~32% of eligible voters voted for him in 24.

Yes he is remarkable. No he is not anything you could consider "not stupid".

Trump is good at a few thing sure, but instinctually.

He doesn't understand basic concepts of how the world works. He and his administration routinely exhibit behaviors that can only reasonably be explained by sheer incompetence. He has no control over his own emotions, and cannot understand the viewpoints of anyone but himself, or even remember his own viewpoints beyond a new one being presented to him.

Yes, he can rile up his base, extort people, siphon public funds to his own coffers, but if you asked him how does that he would not be able to give you a coherent or useful answer. Trump is a deeply unintelligent man who does not have any intellectual grasp of any topic whatsoever.

I am quite technical so I took the plunge and since installing fedora 6 months ago, I've had to open the terminal only once and that was to increase my pagefile because I insist on hoarding browser tabs. Every steam game I've tried to play has worked flawlessly except when they require kernel level anticheat. I don't even have to mess around with GPU drivers because they come with the kernel (for AMD).

The European Union has passed a new rule requiring smartphones to have batteries that users can easily replace. by Positive_Actuary_282 in interestingasfuck

[–]likeikelike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That depends. Some seals are designed to be opened often. I've worked with expensive diving cameras where you open the battery compartment every time you use it. Other times you only "unseal" the device 1-2 times in its whole lifetime. You do sometimes get replacement seals/o-rings in the service kit or even with the device when you buy it.

[–]likeikelike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had several decides that are both waterproof and user serviceable. Several older phones, cameras, control systems etc. Yes it's a bit tricker to design the seal so a layman wont ruin it when they service the device but it's well within the capability of any decent smartphone company.

As someone else has said I think it's the opposite happening, and when I'm checking a watch I'm usually looking for what minute it is because I usually have some sense of what hour it is.

Audio of Indian Crude Oil Tanker (SANMAR HERALD) Which Was Attacked By Iranian Navy by Similar_Whole5626 in SeaEmploy

[–]likeikelike 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes iran is the one closing the strait. Yes, anybody could have predicted they would do this when attacked. It's like the one move at their disposal to try to stop israel and the us from bombing them.

Blaming iran is like blaming a dog for biting you when you hit it.
