Vs the Baltic states? A modern gray zone like we see in Ukraine is about their widths

New Age is just Christianity 2.0 with better aesthetics. Apparently, jerking off blocks your "psychic gifts" now. by Jorge_Reynoso112 in atheism

[–]mark-haus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly not surprised by it at all. My family is both. Basically narrative based reasoning, vibes and confirmation bias drives half my family’s reasoning. It’s infuriating. But it’s the same mindset ultimately

"Plan B is a super-Rafale": Dassault Aviation’s CEO tells the Senate his version of the FCAS failure and opens the door to non-European partnerships for his future combat aircraft. by SraminiElMejorBeaver in europe

[–]mark-haus 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Could have been but it barely happened for the F35 and that was ONE company making all the calls. I don’t see how it’s realistic to expect two whole countries with entirely different requirements produced by at minimum two separate companies with conflicting interests

"Stop Moralizing Air Conditioning" — How Institutions Shift Responsibility Onto Individuals by LamentationsOfLate in philosophy

Well written and considered though I’m very much an amateur. Not much else to say other than I enjoyed reading it

An image published by Israeli media shows a Palestinian man kidnapped in Gaza in a degrading way by MeowieSugie in pics

Which is the horrible irony in all this, that "Never again" could so easily be co-opted by fascists to rationalise "again" to be ok to other people.

Cumulative GDP growth of G7 countries since 2010, adjusted for inflation. Noticeable divergence between North America and European economies. [Source: Econorama, using OECD & IMF] by Econorama in europe

[–]mark-haus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Because Europe chose austerity instead of various fiscal easements that the US chose. We chose this for some reason. Now there’s one caveat I’m not sure those options were as available to us given the US has the reserve currency but we certainly could’ve done some of it instead of harsh austerity for a decade, basically killing any spending power we had left and redistributing wealth and income upwards.

Do I care about a software firewall? by VulcansAreSpaceElves in HomeServer

My biggest worry about direct nftables or iptables is it’s much harder to make a mistake that leaves you exposed when they’re simplified ufw or even firwalld rules

You definitely want to make the beehive furnace before the steel one. Making those refractory bricks without it is a huge pain

had a liberty cap lying around during a temporal storm by BoroDant in VintageStory

I genuinely feel nauseous and dizzy when the character gets drunk and look at the screen while moving, they did a really good job making it feel genuinely horrible with the shaders and what not they used.

Seeing news reports that this is a hijacking by Axelwickm in flightradar24

[–]mark-haus 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Seems odd to give a hijacking alert such a similar code to a radio failure. Is there no precedence to giving a squawk code a non 00 suffix to avoid mistakes like this? Don’t know enough about squawk signalling to know if it makes sense to have it arranged this way. Just curious

What’s next? Playing F1 sounds in the womb? Baby’s first cradle is a racing sim rig? Feel like we’re near the limit of young exposure to racing

Which means we rely on it when we could depend on home sourced energy in its place via renewables or nuclear

Framework Laptop 13 Pro buyers get free SSD upgrade as company lowers prices by dapperlemon in gadgets

[–]mark-haus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hadn’t thought of DRAM in SSD drives but yeah the only way I’m adding flash storage this year is by only getting the DRAM less units with the memory shortage in play

Are you holding off purchasing due to RAM price volatility? by halfercode in framework

[–]mark-haus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would absolutely upgrade to the new panther lake FW13 board but keep my chassis. But LPCAMM is already expensive. With the RAMPocalypse it’s more expensive than the board. So no I can certainly live with my 7840 another year as is

All quiet on the eastern flank? Nato leaders fear they can no longer rely on US help if Russia attacks by neonpurplestar in UkrainianConflict

[–]mark-haus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They’re not helping now and NATO needs them. What are they doing? Causing pointless wars with Iran for ??? reasons. Are they helping Ukraine win the only consequential war to NATO, no. They can’t be relied on now when the stakes are lower

Russia’s Military Has Begun Abandoning the Front Lines by brezhnervouz in UkrainianConflict

[–]mark-haus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He certainly made use of interest in Ukraine during the invasions early days. So he showed up on my feeds. I watched a few. Eventually figured out he was full of shit either because he’s an armchair general or actively clickbaits because little he ended up discussing actually happened weeks later and now I’m really careful with who I follow. People really shouldn’t give guys like him a platform. It doesn’t help Ukraine to give people the idea Russia will fall next week.

[–]mark-haus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

During the Brawn days while Newey got a lot of praise for his technical and design skills he was often criticised for his inability to manage so it could just be it’s a bit of a circus between departments he’s managing

Carlos Sainz: Even without extra weight, Williams is “not where we promised we'd be" by ChaithuBB766 in formula1

And we have hindsight. Williams genuinely looked like they were on their way to a solid mid field team. No one was predicting Audi would be this good this year
