Nah, someone told someone else there just hasn't been enough time yet to close the case. So it will be closed. Any minuteday month now. I expect to his funeral he might already be exonerated.
Good luck with that... I recommend to stay ground-floor and to avoid tea and guys with umbrellas?
But I wonder what will happen to Shoigu. I mean, getting rid of him wasn't part of the Putin/Prigozhin deal, but wasn't it a huge failure on his part to let Prigozhin proceed that far? Wouldn't Putin have to sack him for that, even if that looks like giving in to Prigozhins demands?
By which component is the password truncated on account-creation? Imo, the web UI shouldn't do that without at least warning the user. Such long passwords might be a corner-case, but if the UI changes the password in any way before submitting it to the server, I think the user should see a big fat red notification. What if an account was created using a different client? The user wouldn't be able to log in using the web-ui because the web-ui refuses to send the unmodified password?
If the password is truncated server-side during account creation, the server should do the same during login, the UI or client wouldn't even have to know about it.
Extremely bad: In the past, Wagner was being used to do dirty work. Is there any way Wagner could be used to target nuclear weapons at Ukraine? "The madman stole our nukes and nuked Ukraine because he thought we don't support Wagner enough there. We were not able to stop him, the nukes were not under our control at the time..."
Wagner gets resupplied by the MoD, how long do they think they can advance without running out?
Didn't they destroy/raid depots already? I would assume that's how they resupplied as well. We'll see how sustainable that is.
I don't see Wagner winning, and I'm not sure I want them to. I have no idea what them seizing power would mean. I think the risk of Putin starting to use nukes is near nil. But they might cause a lot of headache, and if they cause enough damage, maybe this will stop Russia in Ukraine.
I don't see any chance for democracy anytime soon. Best case, Russian army and Wagner troops will decimate each other severely, and whoever ends up in power is struggling too much with domestic problems to effectively fight any other countries.
Worst case, one of the military leaders dies early, all troops end up intact in one hand, and whoever ends up the dictator is less inhibited to use nukes in Ukraine, thinking it might assert their dominance.
Wagner is a mercenary company, I don't think they are interested in antagonising all nations at once. They want to continue making money and getting contracts. Therefore they won't use the weapons and will surrender them somehow.
You are right about all of that, and particularly the first one is actually an immediate advantage. We had a flourishing renewable energy industry in Germany ~15 years ago. With a little subsidy we could have been technological leaders.
Unfortunately, the conservative politicians at the time were "advised" (bribed) by "industry leaders" from coal and nuclear industry, and saving existing jobs by pumping money up their asses was the better strategy to secure the next election than creating thousands of new jobs by supporting the new industries.
The second one (lab meat), but I expect there will be a lot of in-fight between environmentalists, some opposing it for not being natural and others embracing it for being environment friendly. In the EU, there isn't even a permission requested to be able to sell it.
The younger generation might be more motivated, but they have the same problem if they save resources, others will waste it in their place.
The disaster in India doesn't change anything, it just proves what we already knew. The numbers are shocking to a rational thinker, but emotional stories like the Titan submarine still grab the headlines.
I think the main problems are the fully industrialised nations, but developing nations are catching up, and they won't want to be held back in their development by wealthy nations telling them to.
It's all game theory. If I do everything right, restrain my reproductive urge, reduce my resource consumption etc., if most others don't chime in, it will achieve nothing. The gasoline I'm not using means our oil reserves worldwide will last two seconds longer, but it will still all be burned.
Even if every single human being on earth would be willing to join a covenant to save the environment, there is no one to orchestrate it, and therefore the majority despairs over humanities stupidity and can't do anything.
The same is on government level: If one state did everything right, globally the other governments would use up the saved resources. And therefore the electorate won't elect a really environment-friendly party because it only results into the own country reducing the standard of living, increasing it for others temporarily.
The only solution would be a global alliance. We surprisingly managed it for the ozone hole, but we won't this time.
I still try to live environment friendly, but in my heart I have no hope of humanity solving this chrisis, and a lot will go to shit in my lifetime still (next 30 years). Maybe enough will survive to maintain the species.
As far as I read recently, currently the liquid to provide the cells with nutrition is gathered from slaughtering cattle. I couldn't find the link, will keep looking, but if anyone has information to the contrary, I'd be happy. I love the idea of meat-taste without animal cruelty and I think it is the way we have to go if we as a species want to survive.
In any case, it is important to bear in mind that the production process regularly relies on fresh muscle tissue and continuously on growth serum.
The growth serum is usually obtained from the heart of a calf embryo, for which the calves and sometimes the mother cow are slaughtered.9b Some companies state that they have replaced the calf serum with an algae nutrient solution.10 It also remains to be seen whether this alternative will prevail.
As the domain name already suggests ("Together against animal industries"), this article seems heavily biased, however. If tissue of a calf embryo is required for the serum, that's not a calf, but an embryo, which is slaughtered. Just like abortion is not murder.
Nevertheless, I hope the mentioned algea nutrition solution will prove a viable alternative.
"Elon Mode" just means it's to cater to Musks wet dreams to keep him in the believe the feature is just around the corner, because "see, it's already in the car, we just can't set it live due to stupid formalities" while in reality, passing trial is the major hurdle and having a demo is miles away from having something working reliable in all corner cases.
I'm not that familiar with drugs, but shouldn't it be singular? "Bring some coke in"? Or is it nowadays pre-portioned?
