Grigory Karasin, head of the international committee in the Federation Council, Russia’s upper house of parliament, said 700k in 2023, the 20k figure is from a 2022 Ukrainian claim.

Russian authorities claim more children abducted than those of Ukraine.

That is true as long as there is a rebound though. Why would there be a return to normal after this?

Frognukes all the way.

De Gaulle was right

What are you even on about? Russia confirmed they took the kids and Putin specifically made a law so that they could be adopted by Russian families.

Russia is regaining some territory, but it’s a miniscule amount compared to territorial gains and losses during the war. It’s still a stalemate.

And so far, it’s only the Russian side who has been surprised that their three day SMO entered its third year.

Why are they specifically against Linux?

Isn’t it pegged to the EUR?

Or maybe Gripens.

At any airport you have probably been to, there is. But a lot of things are on the honor system, which works for pilots because if they catch you lying, they basically reset your career.

Genocide is not about casualty numbers, or even targeting civilians. Just the kidnapping of Ukrainian children alone makes it genocidal. “Russification” is genocidal.

And the immediate ceasefire offer was not on any conditions of territorial exchange, just that they would stop shooting while negotiating. Russia categorically denied any stop to the war this year.

Also, why would you say they are losing? It’s been a stalemate forever now, and the Russians actually controlled more territory in August 2022, much more territory. All the gains and losses this past year have hardly been a blip.

The common adage on the other side of the fence was that you should take your helmet off so that it doesnt melt down into your neck.

Specifically how? They were okay with neutrality before the genocidal war inflicted on them. They just signaled that they are open to an immediate ceasefire, but the Russians denied the offer.

Thanks, I was on my phone and I am awful at typing stuff out so I tend towards brevity without noticing.

There was an article about staffing agencies spamming LLM generated CVs to companies to saturate the market and convince companies that hiring is impossibly hard

Just grew up in it, all the best from Hungary

They are probably going to do the bare minimum required by the new laws. So not even necessarily buttons under the touchscreen, the required controls are warning lights, indicators, wipers, the horn and the SOS button.

This is VW, they aren’t Stellantis, they are actually bigger than Stellantis, aren’t they?

I had both, Framework hands down.

you can’t just take off from a runway without being registered and security cleared etc. Right?

Under European rules, if you are flying domestically under VFR, you don’t necessarily need to even file a flight plan. Even if they did, nobody checks who flies the plane if it’s not an international big airport. I mean I sure would file either way, especially since that area is dangerous and I want authorities to know where I am if I disappear in the mountains.

For a small grass strip in the middle of Slovenia, you might not even need a radio, but local regulations might beg to differ.

It’s possible it’s literally as tight and controlled as getting into and driving a car is.

To be honest, crashing a small plane in that area is not that out of the ordinary, I happen to know some people who died there in a plane crash. The more open airspaces there have a low ceiling, and there is a lot of bad visiblility and high mountains. If the weather is not good, you simply shouldn’t fly, or go higher and file IFR, otherwise it’s very dangerous for CFIT incidents.

It is weird, but not really out of the ordinary for kleptocracies.

It’s not going to be written out as “only Tesla gets this money”, more like “grant for charger infrastructure that requires applicants to have at least four EV models on the market, one of which must look like a dumpster, you have 12 hours to apply with 300 pages of required documentation”.
