Also, the price point determines the sort of people looking at your add

A lot can be legal if you agree to it. But they absolutely can’t unilaterally declare this rule into effect.

Just don’t pay, what are they gonna do? Sue you for damages that they admit themselves can’t prove?

Trump narrowly averted a nuclear holocaust… by forgetting how the Football works.

It’ll trickle down aaaaaany day now.

Nothing, but they got paid for lots and lots of houses and offices. And that a problem.

The Doolittle raid is the perfect example of a PR move, because it was insanely expensive and did very little. It cost 16 planes and their crews, and took very expensive ships out of the running for months. BUT despite doing basically no damage, made Japan bring 2 carriers away from Midway to take a couple of tiny islands to prevent bomber bases being built on them.

As far as we know, this basically took some RHIBs and troops on foot. Way less than the Doolittle Raid. Unfortunately it’s likely we’ll never know the effect this had, or how many of these raids take place.

This is really only a raid, Ukraine has no ability to supply troops by sea, nor the ability to even land enough troops to hold territory.

But the fact that they did this means that Russian “rear” area security is absolute shit, and they have the option to improve that (taking forces from reserves or the fromt) or suffer more rear area raids.

I doubt it ever happened before, so whatever the policy will be, it’s going to be brand new

Well, the most likely natural disaster here will involve my immediate local area being under about 5 meter of water, so either I’m elsewhere and in need of a map, or… well, not in need of a map.

Wow the SAS survival handbook has built in GPS and a map of my local area? Damn, books have gotten fancy lately.

in freefall.

Like Spez cares about little things like “passion” and being “factually correct”.

Sicfi publisher Bean Books did this. They published free ebooks for all the older material, but kept the last/newest in a series paid.

So yeah, I bought those new books, since id gotten hooked.

These people will never go away. The people have 16 push messages an hour, are the same people who had 7 IE toolbars, are the same people who had their VCR blinking 12:00, are the same people who couldn’t get the channel on their radio, are the same people who (presumably) kept buying snakeoil potions.

These are the people who would rather be annoyed at something than fix it, they’re the people who will spend hours living with problems rather than spend 1 hour learning how to resolve it.

I only regret I can’t hear them talking about it. Nobody has words for “what?” like the Australians.

a 80286 for a processor (odds are it was junked before you were even born)

Ouch, right in the age.

I’ve heard of “Short-term utilitarianism”, but I like yours better.

Try something simple in Windows like setting custom keyboard shortcuts… insanely frustrating.

You can set macro’s under Mouse and Keyboard center (though only in win11, welcome to 1995 Microsoft!) You can set a keyboard shortcut for a program under a shortcut’s properties (since at least a couple of editions ago).

You can absolutely have free speech, but nobody is forced to actually listen to you.

Which is good, because in the real world, every place that has “zero censorship” rapidly devolves into a Nazi invested shithole.

“It’d be easier to discuss in person” means “I don’t want a record of this because it’s either illegal or shows my incompetence”.

Any meeting that they want to talk about in writing should ALWAYS be recorded.
