Sure but there’s no fuckin way they get to hold onto the pound sterling if they want back in.

I anticipate the Brazilian government will send a nastygram to Cloudflare, which will cause Cloudflare to give Musk an ultimatum of “stop fucking around or we won’t touch your traffic”. And Musk will probably call their bluff, and Cloudflare will not be bluffing.

lol he fuckin’ around and he gon find out

Which, bluntly, is absolutely insane, and betrays a fundamental (and for some, likely intentional) misunderstanding of the true intent and meaning of that eternal obligation, to the extent that it has deeply disturbing jingoistic echoes of the Nazi party itself.

Now get out there and make me some goddamn money ~huh~ ~huh~

SPAA is going to come back in a big way in the coming years. The effectiveness of these things in Ukraine is crazy.

I don’t think the Gepards support the round type, but some of the new precision-fused airburst rounds (the fuses are wirelessly individually set as it passes through the muzzle, AFTER round velocity is measured a dozen or so cm back (!!!) for maximum burst precision) are crazy. It’s like flak, but it knows EXACTLY where it needs to pop to frag the target, instead of “1000m +/- 100m”.

And then there’s directed energy, which is also going to get interesting.

Note that some issue devices have VT-x disabled and the bios locked down by Corp IT for one reason or another, so a VM may not actually be possible from the work issue device here.

Tbh, just run the Ubuntu box headless and ssh into it. You can do anything you’d need to. Even better, swap it to Debian or something like that, because Ubuntu is unfortunately kinda undergoing gradual enshitification lately.

And hopefully, the Germans will respond with something along the lines of “our eternal obligation to you does not give you carte blanche to perpetrate the same evil our forefathers perpetrated upon you”. But we’ll see, I guess. I am fully aware that it’s an understandably touchy subject in Germany.

Absolutely not. One of his core demographics is white supremacists.

It really does beggar belief. They used to be THE one to beat. Now they’re hemorrhaging money and reputation, and figuring out how to deal with a multi-generational lithography deficiency - not to mention, the implications that that problem has on their lack of testing rigor, improper QC reporting processes, or both.

So, thank you, Finance and MBA assholes, for driving a titan of American industry into the ground, I guess. I wish you’d all get fired, but you won’t, I’m sure.

It appears that Orban is somehow envious of Luka’s relationship with Putin, regardless of the fact that Belarus has essentially transformed into a Russian puppet state.
