The ICJ already ruled that what is happening is prima facie genocide. It's an accurate legal term.

no. Not childish. The accurate description.

really? why? Orcs are the closest thing that we have in folklore that describes their insane behavior, including suicide without any hesitation the moment they find further suffering slightly inconvenient. It is a good description of war creatures that display complete disregard for anything living. They murder children, rape everything that breathes, eat their own, kill them and eat them. Orcs.

I am sure over the last 3.5 years all sorts of things happened, however orcs from ruzzian mad king are doing it daily and they are getting orders to do it from their commandment as well. Ukrainian forces have investigated a few cases that were reported from the Ukrainian side. It has been 3.5 years of daily attacks by ruzzian orcs on Ukrainian civilians, hospitals, kindergartens, birthing wards, houses, theaters bombed in a terrorist strategy of trying to force Ukrainians to take down their government. Instead the people of Ukraine have worked together to build an extremely efficient system of producing, purchasing and transfering to the front lines drones and all sorts of other equipment. I know it first hand, I personally have spent over three quarters of a million USD to fight against the orc invasion. Your comment here shows what sort of trash you are.

they will take a donkey's kong up their ass, that's what they will take at the end of this. They are gaining a few hundred meters of forward movement per day for hundreds and thousands of dead orcs. This is what they count on, that people will give up simply because they will not be able to stop the meat attacks. The meat attacks will stop as the money dries up and it will dry up.

ruzzian orcs use drones to murder individual civilians, including children. This is different from simply carpet bombing, to murder a 1 year old in this case they had to hunt him down specifically, find him and blow him up individually.

This is the face of the ruzzian 'soldier' today, putin or not, it is the individual people who are making every day decisions. AFAIC ruzzians are now all legitimate targets, every one.

The interesting aspects of Superman are to do with his wanting to be a force for good in a complex world. He can face challenges when the world makes it hard to do the right thing, and he explore what the moral good actually is.

I hate relying to AI slop, but there is a more interesting argument that it doesn't address here.

Imagine Superman appeared in the real world, today. There would be immense pressure on him to resolve current on-going conflicts. The situation in Ukraine is perhaps one of the easier ones, with Putin being the clear bad guy. What about in Palestine though? One side is committing genocide, while accusing the other of terrorism. Superman would be accused of anti-semitism the moment he got involved. Would be implement US foreign policy, even Trump's policy which seems to involve the ethnic cleansing of Gaza and turning it into prime real-estate, or would he become an enemy of America? Or would he just refuse to get involved, or only involved on a humanitarian level?

The point is that Superman couldn't be both a force for morality and good in the world, and not an enemy of half of it, including the country he lives in.

I'm surprised they even sell physical games for Switch 2. I'm expecting the next generation of consoles to be digital only, no second hand sales at all.

The switches have protective guard rails on either side of then, and a safety cover that must be pulled upwards before they can be moved. They are designed to be hard to accidentally flip, because the consequences could be fatal.

The report says that they were moved to the off position, and back to on again in the space of 1 second. That's barely enough time to pull the cover up, move them, and move them back again, if you are doing it deliberately. The CVR has one pilot asking the other why he flipped those switches, to which the other replies that he didn't.

The protective covers could be faulty or missing. There was an FAA notice back in 2018 about some being installed without the covers. They might have been replaced with the wrong type during maintenance too. Even so, it seems like it would be hard to accidentally move them back and then forward again, given their position.

Two faulty switches seems unlikely too. An electrical fault is another possibility.

I recently tried AI out for a personal project. I'm an experienced embedded developer and wanted to make a simple web app, with a backend database and Google Maps to display some data. Simple editing controls, that sort of thing.

It got a basic outline done which helped me get started, but soon ran into problems that it couldn't debug by itself. It also recommended deprecated technology.

It was enough for me to google the solutions though, and build up enough of an understanding to finish the app myself. So as a kind of junior web dev, it was helpful... But I am experienced with development and CS in general, so I'm not sure how well it would work for someone near the start of their career.

If you look at a graph of wind output you will see that it mirrors solar, i.e. when solar is low wind is high.

We don't need nuclear, we need more renewables and a few gas plants to cover short periods for a few days a year.

Unfortunately a hosts file isn't nearly enough to properly block malware and adware on the web. It doesn't do much about cookie banners I don't care about either.

I switched to Firefox a while back too. It has some compatibility issues that force me to open Chrome or Edge now and then, but they are getting rarer.

Firefox for Android has been improving steadily too. Performance (both speed and battery consumption) are decent now, and most websites are usable in it. Gone are the days of 50% of sites being unreadable due to broken font inflation and the like. I still need a bunch of uBlock rules for Slashdot though.

They also fixed the way it used to open loads of unwanted tabs. I actually filed a bug report for it, which was closed as "intended behaviour", but they seem to have realized it was stupid and fixed it now.

The elevation change was about 0.1% of the total distance travelled horizontally. It certainly helped, but not much.

Most of the additional range over the WLTP rating will have been from driving very carefully and at the most efficient speed possible. They probably removed all unnecessary weight like charging cables, tyre repair kits, and so on. AC off, windows closed, daytime running to avoid using power for lights.

Still, an impressive feat. Probably not nearly as relevant as it once was, because BYD is now installing 1000kW chargers in Europe. Even current cars that "only" reach 415kW charge speeds are down to 10 minutes per stop.
