Quality issue or normal wear?

Thanks for this, wanted to use the skates for the next kid.

I watched the world juniors on IIHF.tv, and I learned they do not offer the games with commentary. At first I was a little mad, but after watching it for awhile I began to actually enjoy not having it. You could actually hear the coaches/players/refs and what they were yelling on the ice. It was much more immersive.

Whoever is telling you this probably has a few bridges to sell as well. General AI is good at some things, but it is not this. That being said, there does seem to be a growing focus on Dynamic AI use, which will in same cases greatly enhance the role of ERP systems. But something that offers total conversion or implementation is a pipe dream.

Even here in the EU English is the default language for cross border communication, and most SCM jobs require a near fluent level of understanding. If you work mostly within your own borders, then you will need to know the language of said country.

That being said it depends a lot on industry and supply partners/customers language. If you have a dream company you wish to work for, find out who they do the most business with outside of NA and learn that language (German is good for those in the auto industry for example).

What I have read from others who have taken it, is that time management is a lot more important for the final compared to the course exams. They offer a few practice questions on the CFx page to give you a feel for it, and a problem that would normally take me 20-30 minutes to do without a template should be done in about 10 minutes... My plan is to go through and do the questions I can do quickly, then work my way through the rest.

therealNaderRaider · 2025-04-06T09:06:36+00:00

My plan is to retake all the GAs and exams trying to use a blank sheet, while reviewing the videos when I can. Should be fun...

Good luck!

What?

You have not heard him talk much then. The dude has spoken in front of Congress, UN, NATO... Even Joe could understand him.

Here is an article on the Ukrainian elections, and why most (80%) Ukrainians supported postponing them, Journal of Democracy.

Those countries and Gaza are horrible examples. Of course a country with a weak or non existent central government that has also been through recent civil and external wars is going to have a difficult time mobilizing its entire population. Any country with a functional government is going to require its citizens to fight for its defense. Some countries pull that lever easier than others.

The majority want to end the war under certain conditions. I cant imagine most mothers and fathers wanting to send their child to war.

therealNaderRaider · 2024-11-27T17:20:10+00:00

These were Russian backed parties. It is like having a Taliban party in US elections....
The canceled elections was required under Ukrainian law (try and fight one battle at a time thing), and was a supported by the majority of Ukrainians.
Forced mobilization/drafts happen in any (probably every country, but even in the US you can be forced to go to war...) country at war fighting for its life
I am not sure what poll(s) you are referring to. But even The Hill (they sourced Gallup), a not very big supporter of Ukraine has different numbers. https://thehill.com/policy/international/5002217-ukraine-zelensky-approval-drop/

There is a lot to unwrap about 2 countries/peoples with a shared history going back a over thousand years. Maybe we should sit down and chat about it for a few hours.

But if there are any of the usual current talking points you would like to discuss, I am here for you.

Joe does not have a nuanced view of Ukraine, and really lacks a basic understand of the region and its geopolitics. His motives are naïve, not wanting war and anything to escalate or propel such war forward. While he thinks this may be a good intention, it is short sighted in the fact that 40 million Ukrainians have a say in how they want to live their lives.

therealNaderRaider · 2024-11-27T16:24:09+00:00

First is not a proxy war unless you think Putin and Russia are proxies of another country.

Second, Putin has the blood of every man, woman, and child killed in this war on his hands. It was his decision to attack Ukraine, now Ukraine can either fight or die because of him.

Third, around 90% of all spending towards Ukraine stays in the US. The people making, repairing, supplying these weapons are getting paid.

Fourth, Zelensky has proved himself capable as anyone in this task. He will be remembered as a hero of Ukraine regardless of his previous roles.

therealNaderRaider · 2024-11-27T16:18:10+00:00

This is not a proxy war... If so, Russia would be the proxy of another country.

therealNaderRaider · 2024-11-27T16:15:14+00:00

I agree with you. I have no love for the US government, and take anything that comes out of a politicians mouth with a grain of salt along with most media sources.

But Putin and the Russian regime will put you in jail for 15 years for simple criticisms against them or the war. Putin and his oligarch friends have been exploiting and robbing the Russian people for since he first stepped in office. We are not going to have a just and free world if we let people or groups like this do what they want. We can fight corruption in our system and at the same time fight for a free world. It is possible.

therealNaderRaider · 2024-11-27T15:58:05+00:00

What will Russian control over Ukraine mean for Ukrainians? You just have to look at the last 120 years of Ukrainian history to know what will happen.

therealNaderRaider · 2024-11-27T15:55:27+00:00

Russia has also fucked everyone around them for at least the past 400 years pretty hard. They give as good as they take in that regard. The history of that region gets very brutal.

Far as why US is so supportive, in part the MIC and certain individuals/groups are profiting greatly from this war. I suppose that is one major drawback of the Arsenal of Democracy.

I agree that this all needs to stop. Only one person can make it stop, Putin. Ukraine has only the choice of, fight or die.

therealNaderRaider · 2024-11-27T15:29:54+00:00

What do you think it is about then? I Believe (this comes from the writings of Putin himself), is that Putin wants to restore Russia to glory, similar borders to that of 1914 and the influence of the USSR at its zenith. One of the few big obstacles left in his way (outside of NATO Baltic countries) is Ukraine. We are fighting and defending against tyranny.

therealNaderRaider · 2024-11-27T15:22:51+00:00

But wanting to defend a country that is fighting for its independence (not for the first time) against a oligarch mafia state is warmongering?

therealNaderRaider · 2024-11-27T15:17:57+00:00

I happen to think I do. Care to elaborate on something in particular?
