That problem was solved 220 years ago. Since then the problem has been dumb voters. Democracy, as they say, is the government you deserve.

One could argue it's not true for Sweden.

Currently we're ruled by an alternative which got less than 38% of the votes.

On the other hand about 49% (I think) of the other elected people voted for that to happen.

I don't know how it works and I would assume they all have problems from below.

But if it was about anti-air defense shouldn't it be one of the stronger pieces at least Russia have? Or not? I read about some larger missile ship at some time and hope it's the right one. I just googled russian missile cruiser or something such but don't know if the class is correct.

Lots of S-300s on it for instance.

I've also assumed one could nuke a whole carrier group if one was ok to send nukes but I have no idea whatever that is the case.

It's all war discussions become so "mine is better than yours!"-like. May it be that both sides have the possibilities of attacking each other at various times?

I don't know how the various Aegis rate against the S-300, S-400 and S-500.

I think I've seen other solutions to that.

Maybe it was going into a black hole which was one of them?

I don't remember.

Do the mass have to be evenly distributed everywhere just because space itself has no boundaries?

My natural assumptions (I feel) would had been everything just was (no creation, not of space and not of planets and possibly not of life) and that space just continued on / was this giant space of unlimited size.

May be patches to Windows Defender database but not for Windows. I never said I always had to reboot. And I likely exaggerated.

The point was that Windows want me to reboot a lot and without additional hard to reach tweaking it even enforced reboot of its own will.

I don't care about patch Tuesday. I think it's stupid to not send out the updates as soon as possible. If companies don't want them then fine let them handle it. Thought I guess they would suffer from such a solution. Having updates isn't a problem. Windows requiring reboots and worse forcing me to reboot is the problem.

It is a problem for me.

Try to get that out of your tiny (or gapping, what do I know) asshole (maybe it's just too much to try to get into your.. uhm.. ass to understand for you.)

Ohnoz, I'm wasting electricity. Thanks for telling me!

I've done that lots of years. Now I have functional sleep at least so sometimes but not always I use that which is much better than having it on. Hibernate doesn't work so I don't use that.

It is a problem. It may not be for you but it is for me. Get over it.

Windows did require me to restart, the restart after a week/a week + one day(?) was enforced.

Now shut up stupid. It doesn't matter that your opinion is different. Mine is what it is.

And there we go again, yet another important upgrade now, in this case an update for Windows Defender so that one won't require a reboot AFAIK.

I may not install the upgrades as soon as they become available and hence they may add up before I finally install them so the occasions for them may be more often than on my machine.

But:

So clearly there was 10 occasions in December, 6 in January and 5 so far in February for me.

Eat my ass regarding once a month the second Tuesday.

The ones regarding the base OS alone may be less frequent / once a month and maybe one don't have to reboot more often than that. It's not like I sit rebooting more often than I have to.

Uptime is irrelevant for a desktop.

I'm not talking "uptime" as a number. I'm talking having to reboot to get upgrades installed.

Regardless clearly it's not irrelevant for me.

I don't really give much of a shit how you feel it is. That doesn't apply to me. I've got my reasons.
