  • It's doable if you're not constantly changing the plans. The issue appears to be that he keeps changing things about it. Every plan or rendering they've released is different and it keeps getting bigger with each iteration.

  • I'm actually amazed how he keeps finding new suckers after decades of doing it in the private sector and almost 10 years of doing it as President. The only ones that really came out ahead are the criminals that bought their pardons. Everyone else gets screwed one way or another.

  • Between this and how they treated Afghans that collaborated with them, this is going to be a long term issue for future recruitment efforts.

    Still not sure if it's deliberate, but Trump is taking the exact steps one would take to dismantle the American Empire.

  • Manpower is a bigger issue for Ukraine compared to Russia. Ukraine is at least not doing human wave tactics and doing more to keep their guys alive, but Russia can last longer in that aspect as well.

    I do agree that Putin can't stop the war for anything less than complete victory, otherwise people will start asking questions about why this was necessary as you said.

  • Yeah, they are still able to trade with China (which happens to make everything anyway), and as opposed to most countries, Russia can still draw on a lot of the remaining Soviet infrastructure that was specifically built because Russia needed to be self sufficient during the cold war.

    As long as Putin can manage to remain in power Russia can keep this war going.

  • You have to keep in mind that ever since Elon took over Twitter, nobody's left that actually understands how it works, so whenever they implement a change they do it in the most hamfisted way possible, usually in the presentation layer.

    Disabling translation was just the easiest way to do this, as banning Israeli accounts for their actual hate speech was going to get the ADL on Elons ass.

  • If it's only 50mW it seems like it wouldn't be worth whatever the extra cost is to roll this out for anything except super niche applications. Even off grid you're probably just better off saving solar in a battery or putting up a small windmill.

  • The SNAP system would probably be even cheaper if anyone could just apply for a card no questions asked. It's a farm subsidy anyway, so just make it 'the government will pay a chunk of your grocery bill so nobody has to go hungry'.

  • No, those aren't a thing where I live thankfully, although that would probably cause me to switch petrol stations if they started doing this (or finally buy an electric car so I can have the ads on a giant screen while I'm driving /s).

  • Not the Onion @lemmy.ml
