Not sure if it’s just the Tass being Tass - but somehow her statements are totally missing the debt crisis.

Total corporate debt has reached RUB 86.2 trillion (about US$1.1 trillion), up 65% compared to the start of the full-scale war. Nearly half of this debt is owed by Russia’s 78 largest companies. One in six of them spends over a third of profits on interest payments, while 8% of the total debt is owed by companies that cannot even cover their loan servicing costs.

Even though she claims inflation is falling (to 3-4% nonetheless) The Bank of Russia interest rate is still breathtaking 20% tradingeconomics

You have a really good spelling for an American.

Also let me use this opportunity to welcome you to the Fediverse - as your account is less than 24 hours old.

A bit misleding:

• there is no doubt Russia tried to influence US elections in 2016
• the uncertainty is about whether Trump actively cooperated with them - which he didn’t have to - and very likely didn’t.

I love this part (end of the article):

As the Iranian Armed Forces pounded Israel and its military and industrial infrastructure, using many new-generation missiles that precisely hit the designated targets, the embattled regime was forced to unilaterally declare a truce deal on June 24.

Nazi proxies led by jewish president. You are really smart and definitely not a looser.

They are operating exclusively Boeing 737 variants ( afaik 600+ planes) to save money by symplifying maintenance and pilot training. Adding another new completely different plane into the mix (one noone outside china knows how to maintain or fly) would add lots of costly complexity and overhead they can do without. They would have to fully switch only to single COMAC plane variant for all future purchases to make it make sense and imo they are nowhere near beaing ready fot that kind of commitment.

Not sure it actually demonstrates the extend of the issue. My favourite way to look at it (via ThunderF00t@youtube I believe):

• dry ice is essentially frozen CO2 ( CO2 in solid form)
• cca 40 billion tuns per year (cca 5t per person / year, 8 billion people)
• 1km side cube of dry ice weights cca 1.5 billion tuns (1.560 kg/m3 says wiki)

=> Burj Khalifa has 830 m - imagine huge cube of dry ice 20% taller ( or 3x eifell tower)- all that CO2 boiling off in massive clouds - than add 25 of them - each year. We’ve been doing this at some scale for decades…

Well If you take in account how hard has “The Chief Xit” tried to destroy Twitter and piss off anyone using it, this is actually unexpectadly good result! More Powah to the Man Child 😂 . Also - there is no longer the $1 payment for account creation - I guess bot traffic is better than no traffic 😂.

I am no longer objective: I love these, I’ve been IDCing specifically the 91mm versions (like yours) my entire adult life. It has become a true extension of my body. I wouldn’t consider a change simply because the muscle memory - this thing jumps into my hand safely and reliably without me ever getting to think about it no matter if I am drunk/ stoned or anything. The rule is that when I no longer can find the beer bottle opener - it’s the most tricky one on the knife IMO - I should consider going home. Nothing gets close, different knifes can actually get dangerous for me now because I ain’t used to the shape and I ain’t any longer used to watch my hands operating a knife - I watch only when the cutting is done.

Anyway, I find the old-school opening “an important feature”. These Victorinox knives are widely recognized around the world as not suitable for self-defense (at least not an effective one), which makes them perfect to bring places, where “regular” eg. “liner lock” knives might get you strange stares if not straight up confiscation. Places like government buildings, schools or guarded server rooms. The 58? mm models are too small for effective use, the bigger ones tend to have locks. I am an admin.

bt keyboards can be absolutelly critical for some users with disabilities. most of the developing world can’t afford to own several devices like a computer and a phone.

Firefox on Android doesn’t support keyboard shortcuts - for the last 12 years. Sooo - let’s add the bloody AI, that is going to help

I am not an expert - just an avid knife freak - but in my experience “Stainless” means “Stain Less” not “Stain Resistent”. Eg. s35vn is relatively high quality stainless knife steel - that does not mean it ain’t gonna pickup stains - all mine did… I suspect one of the differences between my knifes / Elons Cybertruck vs. your cookware is that your cookware is mirror polished while my knives and the cybertruck are sporting “satin finish” which looks quite esthetically first 5 mnts - but is quite inpractical…

PSA: I’ve been IDCing these (i prefer supertinkerer or climber 92? mm models) my entire life and I have actually broke one! When you inevitably break the spring on the scissors (somehow I use them the most), don’t compensate with your thumb pressurering against the hinge. Have it replaced, many shops do it for free. Or in several years - you will break the scissors off just below the hinge. Didn’t know/expect that was possible. If something I am below average strength. Still the best knife I know, own 1/2 a dozen, even though I confess muscle memory probably plays a big role.

I am a Spotify user and I feel bad. Regarding Tidal - does it make any difference for you whether I am using the “Hifi” or “Hifi Plus” ? TY!

Thank you for this. I’ve been testing the Nine app for a week now and I am sold 👍 Some users do complain that the app “isn’t as good as it used to be” - but luckily for me I don’t know - and it’s the best one I’ve seen anyway.

It’s understandable that people hate him but spreading lies is where I draw the line.
