Just to point, but the hairs appear wherever you put some electrical current on the metal or not.

Everything we know about the way metal crystals grow is against they growing up hairs.

It’d rudimentary.

Of all the games that I would expect to have a global ranking, that is the absolute last.

And you can get 1F capacitors in bulk from China for a few dozen dollars each.

Those things are still dangerous and scary. The 1T magnet way more so than the capacitor.

I remember reading about their names in explainxkcd. I think the only one never named in the comics is Cueball.

For a while, there was a blog, but I don’t think it named any character.

Yes. They did that years ago.

The ad-blockers are constantly working into evading the ban. You may need to update your ad-blocker of your browser.

If this is about the US, notice that they used to have intra-party elections as a strong cultural requirement before going into the main election. They only stopped requiring that very recently.

You test your backup by recreating your system, either in a local environment or in some cheap simulated one.

It’s even better if you write a manual with the steps you needed. And try to follow (and update it) when you do it again.

I figure the most bang for my buck right now is to set up off-site backups to a cloud provider.

If you don’t have the budget for on-premises backup, you almost certainly can’t afford to restore the cloud backup if anything goes wrong.

Then I started reading about backing up databases

Go read the instructions for your database in particular. They are completely different from each other. Ignore generic instructions.

now I’m configuring a docker-db-backup container

What is perfectly fine. But I’d first look how this interferes with the budget you talked about earlier and if it wouldn’t be better to keep things simpler and put the money on data replication.

Either way, if your budget is low, I’d focus a lot on making sure you have the data when you need to restore, and less on streamlining the restore procedure. (That seems to be the direction you are going, so yeah, I’d say it’s good.) Just make sure to test the restore procedure once in a while.

The EU doesn’t want to be at war with Russia.

Russia also should really not want to be at war with the EU, but as you noticed, they don’t seem to care much about what they should do. If they fuck around enough, they may find out, but they are betting they won’t.

You expect people to take their money from stocks and put into what exactly?

Putting it in “someplace safe like our pockets” is neither safe, nor something people can do in large numbers. They can put it in bank accounts in large numbers, how safer than stocks do you think those are?

What does “done” mean to you, and how possibly can it be final?

Does he never turn back into energy and flow back into the rings? I always assumed he just does that, but I’m not sure what is actually on those cartoons anymore.

Many people on lemmy has some ideology that either consider others insufferable, or is considered insufferable by most people.

That doesn’t mean that you can’t organize something on social media, you just need one with freedom of expression (so, no overseeing algorithm), and a clique of people capable of organizing themselves. It may even be possible to get that here.

Keep in mind that Greenland and Canada are both members of NATO, and thus the US would be forced to intervene…

Oh, well…

You mean seriously? Who knows? Both sides have nuclear weapons, don’t they? This is not something that ever happened. Would the US armed forces go along with the plan or will there be a coup? Will everybody keep their heads leveled and avoid exchange nuclear explosions even with people dying at home / on the front? Will somebody just put a bullet on Trump’s head and stop the madness?

But the thing I can tell is that if you are expecting country lines and military treaties to be immutable, that’s not how they work.

No. The trade balance is specifically about trade.

The name for the thing that includes every money exchange is the payments balance… But it’s always balanced anyway, so nobody talks about it.

Loud dumb people on the internet?

No, that can’t be.

If the US keeps its current direction of antagonizing any place that isn’t a dictatorial shithole, the OP’s freedom to travel can get restricted very soon.

Another one with Linux + FF + uB-O here, and I also don’t have problems with Youtube.

But they broke uB-O recently, maybe you need to upgrade it.
