@sickburnbro It's hard to say how long it will take for prices to rise further, but it's a good reason to stock up like everyone should have been doing this whole time.

@MrpoopyButhole Long live the king!

@MrpoopyButhole It's basically tradition at this point that I use the default modified in some way. Maybe I'll change it in the future.

@UncleIroh I'm happy to see someone use IFF correctly.

@UncleIroh
Given these countries' behaviors, it seems they do not feel compelled to act with haste, which makes sense. They do not seem to emotionally expect or need the "touchdown", "knockout punch" victory.

Even if Russia and Iran know that nuclear war is on the horizon, since time is on their side, why would they not continue to bleed the Regime? What have they to gain by striking now?

@UncleIroh I agree!
Every tool should be available for analysis, especially if it could give you an insight into how someone else thinks. Understanding the other person's worldview provides a great deal of information.

Part of knowing thy enemy is knowing their ontological foundation and their personal cosmology.

@Shadowman311 They're classified as whatever the government(s) need them to be so as to make them more vulnerable to their coercion.

@VooDooMedic She's a thot; that is universal to all ethnic groups' females.

@PapaPole Windows: Notepad++ is the easiest. Sublime should also have it.

@PapaPole Depending on the text editor that does exist. You can also write scripts for things like camel and snake cases.

@ButtWorldsMan It seems we have had a difficult time learning this lesson.

It helped me understand why the operation of government bureaucracy is as it is and why in some ways it must be the way it is.
There is no solution to "fix" bureaucracy as it is merely a method of management. There are only means to limit the potential for corruption and arbitrary rule within it.

To everyone who happens to read this post, I highly recommend listening to the free audio book or reading the print version of Ludwig von Mises, "Bureaucracy".

(Links where PDF and audiobook can be sourced for free: https://mises.org/library/book/bureaucracy)

It gives amazing insight into the incentive differences between the profit and bureaucratic methods of management.

@deprecated_ii Notice how the reasoning for the predominant idea is vague while what works is simple? Small teams of capable people who become familiar with a specific set of tools and processes and develop them further in the changing environment to fulfill the need of the customer works. If it didn't small software shops wouldn't be able to make anything until they had teams as large as the big companies.

@deprecated_ii That is an excellent summary of the situation. I've seen this happen all over the place and in different blends of individuals. The high performers are always carrying the team through to the finish line.

Talented developers are like artists because the best development is art. You can't force or pay someone to be good at it, and you can't program an AI to do it.

@susie The colored alcohol rule is not true. There are many factors which influence hangover intensity. It also depends on ABV of the drinks.

Get some sleep though. Try recounting in extreme detail everything that you will do tomorrow in order from the time you get up. It may help.

@UncleIroh @ButtWorldsMan lol Mehr Kuchen!

Divine Justice (A cooking channel)

Non-Ukraine war views/video: 1k-25k (There are hundreds of cooking videos)

Average Ukraine war views/video: 194k (there are only FOUR of pro-Ukraine videos)

24 hours ago they switched to pro-Ukrainian content and now they're racking up the views. I'm not kidding on this.
Their bio doesn't even mention their cooking content which is only 3 months old; so, it's not like they left for a year and decided to change channel direction.

Kings and Generals (a decent channel for all kinds of history):

Non-Ukraine war views/video: 150k-600k

Ukraine war views/video: 200k-500k
(rough ranges with napkin math)
