Maybe it’s fine for you to be ok with lying but it’s generally frowned upon.

There is not reason whatsoever to use JS over TS for UI. None of the things you said are true.

That doesn’t count, that was a mistake /s
Sure buddy.
Not sure what experts you are talking about, Russia itself said Ukraine is no more if it continues to pursue NATO membership. They were saying that since orange revolution in 2004.

Also, looks like your neighbors don’t share your opinion.

If he didn’t want to prolong the war, why he sent only a fraction of his army? Why they’re attacking only southern and eastern parts and not from Belorus?

Looking at last 2 decades you think Putin is incompetent? You can say many things about him but that’s the last fucking thing on the list.

Yet people didn’t oppose when their own governments were slaughtering people. Countries ruined for decades if not centuries. Whataboutism would be if I justified Russian actions, but I’m not doing that. I’m looking at the western butchers pointing fingers at Russian butchers. Hypocrite.
Interesting how people care about Ukraine where Russian actions are arguably very localized to military targets but no one is concerned for over 500k dead in Iraq and their current civil war, all caused by certain NATO countries. Half of the ME is on fire, but no one care. Just a bunch of hypocrites.
They are trying to quickly end the war, it’s Russia who’s prolonging it on purpose. Russia attacked with 1 against 4 in manpower, and is completely fine with the war lasting for a long time.

We now see how western powers are forcing Ukraine to do devastating counter offensives that will lead to quicker defeat. And even then I think Russia will take its time.

We’re approaching a 10 year long business cycle where cheap energy is everything, and Russian’s know that. There is no way out without huge money printing to replace Russian energy, all the while we finished biggest money printing cycle in our lifetimes.

Russia waited since 2014 and chose a best time. Europe will fold sooner or later.

Maybe the increase of population was mostly in affected areas, not 5 times worse.

Can't have more first world statement than this one.
But is it completely green? I live fairly close to a huge lithium deposit, and while people from western world are enjoying the benefits of EVs, people around here might get their habitat destroyed.

In my book it’s not green if it’s not completely green. And EVs are certainly not.

Eh, we have something similar, the problem seems to be we’re not putting those who deserve it in them.

> but at the end of the day the corps doing this are taking crappy properties and renovating them. They want to fix it up and resell it or charge higher rents than the current owners.

Could it be the reason that those properties are too expensive for a regular Joe to fix up because of investors in the first place.

If we take outliers into the account, then any statement ever regarding human behavior would be false.
Let’s not forget brake dust which is a lot worse than microplastics, EVs create a ton of that.

I bet all things considered, ICE Toyota Yaris is less bad for the environment than some Tesla.

Exactly how I feel about gender revolution. Mental illness is not something to be proud about and is dangerous to public health.

This statement is just ridiculous.

Re:Inflation rose 9.1% in June, even more than expected on Wednesday July 13, 2022 @06:09PM (#32089365)
Housing was/is directly affected by Covid supply shortage.

Cars, chips, energy, supply shocks etc are what’s causing all this increase in CPI. I would even say there’s not much (monetary) inflation, on the contrary, deflation of the USD might break the system.

You should compare Ukraine to Cuba, not Vietnam. You know, when US almost nuked Cuba and USSR just because Cuba is too close for comfort? Sort of like Ukraine is for Russia?
I have MBP 16 with M1 Pro for six months now. I’m yet to experience the sound of fans running, it’s incredible. Battery life is so great it’s not something I think about anymore aside from checking whether it’s charged.

Depending on the county, you can walk into a bank and get cash for your gold coins. In other words, governments are behind it. Good luck doing that with crypto.

People don’t realize Donbas is Ukraine’s last real line of defense and their only stronghold. After it falls, and it will soon, it’s a matter of siege and patience. Ability to counterattack will be completely removed.
