We have a concept of word inflection, which can be used to replace a lot of words that English would use to denote something being a question, ownership markers, causes and effects etc.
Compounds are fun too, since you can do chaining:
Viskibassokitaravahvistinpiiri
Whisky base guitar amplifier circuit
Epäjärjestelmällistyttämättömyydelläänsäkäänköhän.
It’s the longest word you can make in Finnish without using compounds, which can be infinite length.
It means, very loosely translated "I wonder if the outcome was a result of their lack of ability to cause others to be disorganized. "
I know, Finnish is an enviable language.
Apparently this is a very sensitive and very selective thermal infrared imaging satellite which allows to build a volumetric temperature and humidity model of the atmosphere around Europe, Africa and surrounding regions. Swanky.
Safer, very high power to weight ratio, better self discharge stability and good temperature range performance are the advantages. The most important one is of course the lack of massive environmental impact of water hungry lithium mining in dry environments and the geopolitical challenges evident in lithium sourcing.
There are a few electric vehicles with this chemistry and I predict it will replace lithium based chemistries in lower cost, smaller vehicles.
Sodium batteries are already commercially available and although their volumetric energy density and round trip efficiency is lower than lithium I think they are a promising alternative to lead acid and some lithium applications.
As I understood, their interest is actually prolonging the war, as that will keep US attention divided.
Maybe Cambodia and Khmer Rouge? But not many.
Well, according to the article Nigeria has some existing solar production with more on the way. Probably there are better methods than an outright ban, but many countries are boosting local manufacturing with subsidies, tariffs or regulation.
A little while ago I met someone whose job is to worry about international affairs and they were worried about operating systems.
After that I started worrying about every end user device in Ukraine shutting down until peace was negotiated.
This is interesting. I agree that stealing isn’t the right category. Copyright infringement may be, but there needs to be a more specific question we are exploring.
Is it acceptable to make programmatic transformations of copyrighted source material without the copyright holder’s permission for your own work?
Is it acceptable to build a product which contains the copyrighted works of others without their permission? Is it different if the works contained in the product are programmatically transformed prior to distribution?
Should the copyright holders be compensated for this? Is their permission necessary?
The same questions apply to the use of someone’s voice or likeness in products or works.
In related news, the red square is red, water is wet and the popemobile is an ambulance.
Now what?
Depending on the explosive that should not help. Shaped charges are most effective if they explode a little distance away. It might help if it is a shrapnel based explosive.
Still you wouldn’t probably need a shaped charge to penetrate the armor on a BMP-2 which may explain this approach.
Edit: looking at it more, there is some kind of external armor assembly on the sides, but it doesn’t look like ERA tiles.
That’s fair, I honestly don’t know if that would have occurred to me.
There are maybe 6 or so of the cherry trees, counting out the young ones 5 apple trees and 1 plum tree. The apple trees have gotten too big and I have been removing fairly big branches so most of the effort is processing the resulting cuttings. So far I have done it little by little, so it hasn’t been too taxing.
I will probably plant rowans and more smaller berry bushes. Maybe construct some wicking beds for smaller plants.
This year’s effort will be lightening up the canopy to ensure enough light in the lower layers.
Tools I have for this: chainsaw, clearing saw, pole saw, shredder. I also sometimes use a flip saw to process smaller branches as I find the chainsaw… Untrustworthy . I have spent a total of perhaps 300e on the tools, not counting the flip saw - patiently waiting for good used tools to become available and fixing broken ones has served me well. Latest addition is a Klippo lawn mower. Got it for free, spent 40e fixing it and it works now. A new one is over 900. Granted this values my own time at 0e, but… The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.
Hmm, this must be fake, in Finland it is a truth universally acknowledged that a swedish man in possession of a computer must be in want of another man.
Oh boy that ending was brutal, they were toying with him.
You need to post this into the SCP-wiki my man.
Where is the first image from?
It looks a lot like Liberty leading the people, my favorite painting. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberty_Leading_the_People#/media/File:La_Liberté_guidant_le_peuple_-_Eugène_Delacroix_-_Musée_du_Louvre_Peintures_RF_129_-_après_restauration_2024.jpg
Specifically if something has built pressure inside, it would appear.
