Most likely it was counterfeit radios. The batteries in decade old Icom radios would probably be dead by now.

Didn’t he already repeatedly claim that he’s fighting directly with the West?

Even in his own words what would this change?

Having elected officials makes sense for politicians since their job is to represent the interests of the people but it’s terrible for other types of public office.

What do you want from a judge or a sheriff? Someone who’s experienced and competent. Who can best judge that? Would it be the hierarchy of their peers who they work with every day or would it be random members of the public who’ve barely even heard of them?

Edit: and no, I’m not suggesting political appointments. That’s also a recipe for disaster. Do it like Commonwealth countries: make the civil service independent of the political process and make appointments be part of the usual process of promotion.

They took them in 2020 while they were pulling out of Russia, not recently.

To be fair, the seizure happened back in 2020 when companies were still in the process of removing themselves from Russia. And it happened in retaliation for google complying with international sanctions against Russia.

They’re important details. And you would have seen them in the article if you’d read it.

Until recently they were recommending Intel CPUs over AMD at the low end, saying they provided better value for money in that segment. And they used to recommend Intel processors for gaming, back when they had the gaming crown.

Get Rainbolt to have a look and he’ll tell you exactly where it was shot in just a few minutes.

As someone from a not-US country, I’m always amazed at how right wing the US “liberal” policies are. If Biden was our PM he’d be more right wing than our most recent conservative PM.

worse than regular recycling of plastic

In case people don’t know why it’s worse - it uses a lot more energy to do pyrolysis than it does to just make new plastic. It’s bad enough that it’s worse for the environment than just making new plastic.

In any case no plastics recycler has any intention of doing this except in “pilot studies”. It’s a dead duck and everyone in the industry knows it. As /u/SeaJ said, it’s just PR.

I wonder how many thousands of people died as a result.

They’re not wrong that democracy’s under threat. But maybe the threat’s from the guy who has literally said he’s going to murder political opponents - y’know, the guy they support.

Lithium is used in grid storage:

• Hawaii
• Ventura County
• Collie
• Hornsdale
• Bouldercombe
• Geelong

And that’s just what I could find in a couple of minutes.

They’re meant to survive an order of magnitude more cycles than Li-ion. But I’m containing my enthusiasm until we see them lasting a long time in real life use.

They’re meant to have a much wider temperature range than Li-ion, theoretically.

…is the second largest city in Australia. But also has an inflated sense of self-importance.

Yes, that’s the difference between “safer” and “actually safe”.

It’s also a fallacy that rust code is memory safe. I audited a couple of large rust projects and found that they both had tens of unsafe constructs. I presume other projects are similar.

You can’t use “unsafe” and then claim that your program’s memory safe. It may be “somewhat safe-ish” but claiming that your code is safe because you carefully reviewed your unsafe sections leaves you on the same shaky ground as c++, where they also claim that they carefully review their code.
