This is good for China.

They haven't been able to attack Taiwan because their only shipping way towards west goes through the straits of Malacca, and if those are blocked, China is in deep trouble.

This new route removes much of that danger. Now Taiwan can be attacked much more safely.

The indifference of us Europeans is beautiful.

Hooray.

This gives me strong !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works vibes. But still a different theme, as meanwhileongrad is concentrated on tankie madness and this is more of a generic "you speak bad about people supporting some form of totalitarianism -> we dislike you".

It's also sad that it doesn't suprise me something like this comes from .world.

I'll keep that in mind!

Kiitos tosiaan tämän hoksaamisesta! Nyt on viestiä muokattu ja jokaista sen kellonaikaa siirretty tunnilla eteenpäin. Aikatauluista tuli lähinnä paremmat noin :)

Oletin, että on. Mutta näemmä ei, vaan Mockavan ajat on puolalaisessa datassa näemmä ilmoitettu Puolan ajassa eikä paikallisessa. Hm, pitää hilailla aikatauluja toiseen uskoon sitten! Hyvä huomio kyllä!

Mä ajattelin noi Mockavassa vaihtavat yhdensuuntaisiksi matkustajiksi, joille tuo yhteys sattuu tarjoamaan kätevimmän reitin Keski-Eurooppaan/-sta, ja siellä käymisen ensisijaisesti osoitukseksi lehdistölle siitä, että tällainen linja olisi toimiva. Pääosa matkustajista olisi vain Liettuaan asti meneviä. Siksi mä ohjasin tuon reittiehdotuksen koukkaamaan Vilnan kautta.

Nyt on tullut tähän tieto, että RDC jatkaa tämän junan ajamista, ainakin suurimman osan vuotta.

Heh. Guess someone needs benzin for their cars?

A question for others before I write a more thorough reply:

Wouldn't it be a good solution to move the directories elsewhere but then symlink them to their default locations? You'll need to think a bit about file permissions while doing that, but are there any other caveats?

For the asker:
UNIX-like systems such as Linux are intentionally made so that a directory can be on a different hard drive than its parent directory. So, you can have /usr/games, including almost everything on it to be on hard drive #1, but then define that /usr/games/quake should be on hard drive #2. The limitation is, you cannot have different parts of the directory tree on the same hard drive. So, if /usr/games/quake is on its own partition, you cannot have /home/plzgivehugs/artwork/bigfiles on the same partition.

...except, with symlinks you kind of can.

Aikataulutiedot olivat tuossa alussa linkatussa artikkelissa. Nyt ne on sieltä poistunut, koska SBB oli ottanut yhteyttä artikkelin kirjoittajaan ja sanonut aikataulujen olevan vasta alustavat ja että niihin voi tulla muutoksia.

Mutta, Ruotsin puolella ratakapasiteetti on jo tilattu, eli Malmön ajat tiedetään. Eivät silloin muutkaan aikataulut paljoa voi heittää. Omaan silmääni Frankfurtin lähtöaika oli ihan järkevä. Oisko ollut n. klo 22?

It won't nuke Ukraine.

Firstly, in the Russia you need a triple order to launch nukes. Putin's order is not enough. And the two other people would not want to start a nuclear war. There's no way they'd okay a nuclear strike. And if Putin tried to convince them of that, they'd consider Putin having crossed a line that really does matter. And then there would be a headless Putin standing and a Putinless head rolling on the floor, really soon after that. Putin won't try his luck with that. He knows he'll just die if he does.

And secondly, it's unlikely that any of the nukes work. It's the same as with military trucks' tires. Everybody assumed they'd be never used in reality, so all the maintenance resources were embezzled.

Even if the Russia was to somehow assume that some of the nukes are not duds, they'd understand that they cannot know which one is the working one. You launch 1000 missiles, of which 3 detonate, and they happen to be the ones hitting less important targets. What happens next? Heh.

I keep repeating this, but I'll repeat it again:

I believe at this point Putin already knows the Russia has lost, but he also understands that what comes after the war is worse for the Russia than anything this war can possibly offer.
90 000 soldiers returning from Afghanistan to USSR with 300 million inhabitants caused the absolute clusterfuck that the 1990's in the Russia were. Those soldiers, gotten used to violence, were a horror. They are what was the base that gave birth to the internationally famously violent Russian mafia back then.

And now there aren't going to be 90 000 soldiers returning, but 700 000. And not to a country of 300 million, but to a country of 140 million. That's a 15-fold problem in comparison to population size compared to the end of 1980's and the 1990's. They're gonna have the 1990's again, only multiplied by 15. And because the soldiers are now much more cruel yet than the Soviets were in Afghanistan, the multiplier should actually be even higher than "mere" 15.

Putin can get the Russians to stay in the war for another half a year or year by talking NATO NATO NATO blah blah. It's several months more time before the onset of an absolute mayhem unheard of even in the Russia. Eventually the war will end, the soldiers will return home and, well, streets in all cities will have twelve bandits per hundred metres.

I believe it would still make more sense for almost everybody in the Russia to let the mayhem begin sooner than later, because if they wait more, it will be even crazier. It's already at the point where the only thing that can be done is for local groups to arise, and basically become independent countries, then denouncing the "heroes" and starting to actively protect their own area from the returning orcs. The Russia cannot do this, but Tatarstan can, and Republic of Sakha can. The earlier they end the war, the less people they will lose, and the more refineries and such they will have left.

Anyway: Putin knows he's lost the war. He just wants to delay the inevitable as much as possible. If you assume this, the rest actually starts making a lot of sense.

I interpreted this as "the Russia will not be anytime in the future in a position better than its current one."

(Also, I think the Russia will always be a bit too slow to understand how much its situation is deteriorated, in order to understand it should already fold. It might reduce its demands, but most likely never enough.)

A lot of companies sell vegan burgers, though.

If they have a line of burgers, some of which have meat in them and some don't, what are they supposed to do? Keep two different brands separately, putting their fish, chicken and bovine burgers under one brand and others under another? Or just ditch the word "burger" altogether?

The Russia won't run out of military equipment anytime soon. The most important reason to destroy it is that it's expensive to replace. And when it comes to air defence radars, also not really all that possible to replace.

What brings the war to end is economy. The Russia's economy won't survive very long anymore, and once the state is bankrupt, it no longer can pay the high salaries to its soldiers. Since the soldiers are in it almost exclusively for the money, that will mean there will no longer be new soldiers to replace the losses.

The Russia can of course print more money, but that will cause inflation, meaning that the soldiers' salaries need to be raised more, which increases the need to print more money, which... :)

A cool build! Need to try a priest again when my Assassin dies (or somehow gets to the bottom of it)

I have had the understanding since already around summer 2022, that the Russia is completely all-in. Putin sees it so that the Russian Federation equals Putin. For him the loss of his junta means the death of the Russia. If not putting everything in play means your junta will be toppled (that is, in your eyes: Your country will be destroyed for good), then you will absolutely put everything in use. After all, what use is it that you've saved some tanks in storage if your country gets destroyed for good?

They might hold on to a part of their tanks for a couple of months or so, but quite soon they will be on the front as well.

Dunno. Just never felt a need to create a user account there. I dumped Reddit before our relationship even began.

I did actually used line break in between the 5 styles.

But it appeared in one line. Dunno why.

It appeared in one line because you did not end your lines with two spaces.
You write a line. Then you press the Space bar. Then you press the Space bar again.
And then you press Enter.

If you want a line break without having an empty line in between, end the line with two spaces.

This
is
actually
possible.
