Those cuts cut deeper on the Ukrainian side. Russia seems to be trying to bombing them into the bronze age, even going after steelworks.

Both sides and the rest of the world cannot afford continuation of this war. Both sides need to show flexibility in their bargaining positions and stop now.

You're exaggerating or incorrect about a few things as drinkypoo mentioned but I am with you on not everything needing SSL. Static, low-risk content, where there's little harm possible from MitM (eg, some big media file especially where you're going to check md5sum anyway, text files with random jokes, collections of memes, tbh like half the pointless bs people post on social media), is probably fine to put on plain http. It's annoying that when I put stuff like that on http to save some cycles on a tiny server, nearly every web browser does "OOH BIG SCARY YOU'RE BEING HACKED OMG!!!! ALERT ALERT ALERT!!!".

To be fair, the people who understand how to manage risk probably can handle that browser interstitial without freaking out, but still.

And all of the cloud and SSL providers are now insistent that they know what's best for the web, requiring public expiration to get so short â" which just so happens to be a great way to sell more certificates and managed cloud services.

At least Let's Encrypt exists, but you have to wonder if that will always be the case...

I plugged that question into ChatGPT. Apparently, HGH is normally produced by the pituitary gland. But during pregnancy, a different version of HGH produced by the placenta takes over its role. It reorganises the mothers body until deli ery. Placental growth hormone disappears from maternal circulation very rapidly after childbirth, generally within about an hour. The mother's usual pituitary growth hormone system then resumes its role.

I heard about that. I wonder what the long term effects of that will be on those 70+ year olds. Just look at all the risks listed here:

Interestingly, doctors tend to avoid blood transfusions even in the case of heavy bleeding. Instead, they immediately use intravenous fluids to rapidly "fill the pipes" and restore blood pressure and organ perfusion.

A novel idea, but Mr Stoker did have some folk legends to borrow from. Personally, I have no stake in that matter, no fascination with holy water or crucifixes and certainly don't believe in silver bullets. Sunshine, however, is a powerful disinfectant and garlic makes bread tasty! (So, are there no Italian vampires?). It's interesting the actual name of Jesus is never used by the characters in Bram Stoker's Dracula -- his name is the singular artifact of power in the new testament.

Or take a closer look at blood transfusions.
A biblical verse states the life of an organism is in its blood. It is blood that carries the nutrients, signalling molecules and even free mitochondria that probably signal the transplanted organ to turn younger. The bioelectric environment also matters, but probably not to the same extent as blood does to the transplanted heart.

No, i'm just that disorganised to have run out of gas thrice in my life, and have my phone die on me with some regularity. I dread having to remember to plug in yet one more 'device' with regularity. :)

My Prius works really well for me. I'm glad your EV works for you, especially if you live in a home with solar panels. I live in an apartment
