  • Trump says he's withdrawing invitation for Carney to join his Gaza 'Board of Peace'

    Jump

  • You've clearly not been paying attention. It's trump's party, now. Any serious descenting opinions have been routed out such as Liz Cheney. And it's not just politicians. What's left are the cowed and the sycophant. Sure, there has been descent in the ranks such as releasing the Epstein files but when asked about their justification it's all fallen short of overt criticism of Trump. Nothing of the sort that could feasibility depose him. And the Democrats cravenly refuse to broach the subject, thinking that Trump is now electoral poison. A mistake they continue to make.

  • What happens when the taps run dry? England is about to find out

  • I see an interesting parallel to the nationalisation of UK coal back in the day. Basically, the collieries prior to nationalisation were critically mismanaged. So, the government bought them off the private hands. However, the valuation was too high for an outright purchase, so the Government bought the infrastructure in installments. This meant that as an award to the previous owners for severe mismanagement they got regular income without having to do anything to get it.

    I think there's a lesson in there, some where.

  • It basically posits that there are two universes, the world of God and the world of nature and science and never the twain shall meet and affect each other.

  • Sure, certain faiths overlap, but I could imagine a religion based in deism. That could be compatible for a little while longer. Yes, I do recognise this is just God of the gaps.

  • Well, they could be compatible under philosophy of Non-overlapping magisteria.

  • Have Nvidia drivers on Linux gotten worse over later generations?

    Jump

  • I think the biggest issue they had was with consistency of frame rate. Maybe the graphic drivers have matured more for the RTX 30 than the later versions. Are you using the proprietary drivers, or the open source ones?

  • EU top diplomat says Russia's military size, not Ukraine's, should be capped

    Jump

  • I'm not just factoring in Russia, here. If it was just Russia here you'd have a point. Russia has allies. The Trump Whitehouse and it seems that China is soft on Russia too. If push comes to shove, I really can't guarantee that either of them would fall in line behind the EU. Add to that the authoritarian Narendra Modi's India I really don't think the EU would stand a chance...

    Although, on the flip side, the EU may have allies themselves in Australia and Canada, and perhaps the UK plus the Scandinavian countries. But, even then...

    I guess it also comes down to how much the different factions want the fight.

  • EU top diplomat says Russia's military size, not Ukraine's, should be capped

    Jump

  • Do you honestly think the EU can stand alone against the super powers? With what? A lot of European munitions come from one of them. Sure, maybe the EU could throw all it's chips in to the war effort and may squeak out a victory but they would have to dedicate around 80% of their income to it. We're talking taking a World War 3 stance of preparedness. And be willing to go bankrupt in the process. If that happens the only result is Russia comes in an sells the EU for parts.

  • I think you're both right as your stated opinions views are not diametrically opposed. I suspect the original commenter was not commenting to an utopian dream of a just peace, here. Their comment seems to be addressing realpolitik. The super power in the region and the current hegemonic super power in the world are aligned.. and so is the new world super power, China when it comes to it. With that background, both Europe and Ukraine will loose and will have to accept what's given to them.

  • I'll quit watching YouTube before I give it my ID

  • While it may be hard to cold turkey YouTube, at least I could make a start on that reading list...

  • BluRay Disc Burning Copies

    Jump

  • Compared to what? I mechanical drive left on the shelf tends to seize up over time. Flash storage looses it's trapped electrons representing bits. To protect the more sensitive data from bit rot, I use par2 for the files and dvdisaster for the whole disc.

  • I use BD to archive personal data. Then send it off site. The data is encrypted, so it can only be accessed with the correct authentication. What's wrong with that?

  • She Despised Charlie Kirk. He Resolved to Make People Like Her Pay.

  • Maybe. But if that's all she wanted to do, she could just concentrate on that. It sounds like she went above board to fit in.

  • FBI to Categorize Trans People As "Nihilistic Violent Extremist" Threat Group, Report Says

    Jump

  • To these people any society with trans people in it is a destroyed society since their society is trans exclusionary.

  • Despite all his bloviating about militarizing Washington DC being anti crime. He repeatedly shows himself up to be quite the opposite. Rhetoric is cheap actions are where the rubber meets road.

  • Probably a repost but funny nonetheless

  • Took me a while to clock it. For those in a similar position the stabbed person didn't magically get resurrected, like I first thought.

  • And the politicians that are hoping to sell out.

  • If you are in the UK and thumbing up this post, is that considered a terrorist action. Be careful out there...

  • New plan to kickstart onshore wind revolution

    Jump

  • Yeah, without the grid scale energy storage, this is little more than green washing. I think we should utilise the UK portfolio of wind turbines as close as 100% as possible before building any more.
