For smartphones they actually could, they could tie the lipo pack serial number to the imei and work everything out from there.

Then make sure it's been unlocked via biometrics within a second or so.

It's very rare that someone else holds a phone to be unlocked for you, though it does happen, still the closest to a targeted kill.

Those back-alley 'marriages' to 13-year-old "virgins" aren't going to last.

Again, that's why I'm concerned it's the latter.

I would agree.

But I think it helps everyone's cause more to simply ignore them utterly.

These worthless 'hyper-masculine' fascist trash, the worst thing you can do to them is show them how impotent they really are without even putting in effort.

Trump was humiliated at the debate, we just do the same to all these other Russian funded losers.

Ignore them, make it clear they're nothing and nobody cares.

It burns them more than literally everything else, they're spoiled children throwing a tantrum, let them.

The European Union on Wednesday began the process of clawing back hundreds of millions of euros in funds meant to go Hungary after its ant-migrant government refused to pay a huge fine for breaking the bloc’s asylum rules.

I'm pretty sure there are other things they aren't doing, more fines seem in order.

In fact, keep fining them till their net contribution to the EU is 0.

Well, it can't run multithreaded jobs at full speed.

I'm sorry, I can't tell if you're cleaning it or fucking it.

How you doin'?

Meh, not nearly as configurable as linux, some things you can't change.

NFS beats SMB into a cocked hat.

You start spending more time in a terminal on linux, because you're not dealing with your machine, you're always connecting to other machines with their resources to do things. Yeah a terminal on windows makes a difference, and I ran cygwin for a while, it's still not clean.

Installing software sucks, either having to download or the few stuff that goes through a store. Not that building from source is much better, but most stuff comes from distro repos now.

Once I got lxc containers though, actually once I tried freebsd I lost my windows tolerance. Being able to construct a new effective "OS" with a few keystrokes is incredible, install progarms there, even graphical ones, no trace on your main system. There's just no answer.

Also plasma is an awesome DE.

It wasn't artillery, it was shells.

We had access to bat guano from islands in the pacific for nitrogen, well, eventually.

The Germans had to develop whole new chemical processes to keep up, and they were expensive.

Until the US entered, Germany had an advantage in number of guns, and actually shells too at the very beginning (England was not ready for a non-colonial war).

Chatgpt, because I'm too lazy to cite real research:

Yes, Germany had more artillery guns and shells in the early stages of World War I, particularly before the United States entered the war in 1917. Germany had invested heavily in artillery prior to the war, and its military strategy, especially in the Western Front, relied on heavy artillery barrages. This gave Germany a significant edge in terms of both the quantity and quality of its artillery.

At the start of the war, Germany's emphasis on artillery allowed them to fire large amounts of shells in major battles, including during the Battle of Verdun and the Battle of the Somme. However, as the war dragged on and the Allies ramped up their production and coordination (with significant help from the United States after 1917), Germany's advantage in artillery was gradually eroded. By 1918, the combined forces of the Allies, with U.S. involvement, had caught up in terms of artillery and shell production, significantly diminishing Germany's earlier advantage.

The U.S. entry into the war tipped the balance in favor of the Allies in terms of both manpower and industrial capacity, contributing to the eventual defeat of Germany.

No.

It's just because Russian logistics is shit, they know where the depots are because they're unbelievably huge, and being able to strike them basically brings us back to something like September of 2022 when they were blowing up depots left and right, crippling the advance completely.

It's hard to fight an opponent who can stage perfectly behind their own lines and you can only hit them after they cross, when they can hit you whenever.

 

Russia said the West was playing with fire by considering allowing Ukraine to strike deep into Russia with Western missiles and cautioned the United States on Tuesday that World War Three would not be confined to Europe.
