Pixel phone which doesn’t let you install CA certs any more
Is that something new? I can still install CA certs on my Pixel 6. It does give a scary warning, but you can just click through it.
Can someone explain how Biden is supposed to do this?
He already has the authority to do this through the lend-lease act for Ukraine.
Republicans are tilting further and further toward Russia and away from Ukraine
So you're saying that Biden should carry out the Republican agenda out of fear for ... the Republicans?
Independents don’t understand why we should be “spending” millions on another country.
Nice attempt at concern trolling.
You are "spending" the equivalent of 3% of your military budget to take out one of your two major adversaries without spilling a drop of American blood. That is a bargain any day of the week. I put spending between quotes by the way, because the bulk of the equipment being sent to Ukraine is not manufactured new nor does it not come from active inventory but from old stocks that would have to be disposed of soon anyway. If "independents" don't understand that, perhaps we shouldn't pay too much attention to what those "independents" think.
But that's all besides the point. The article is not even about the amount of money or equipment, but about certain critical equipment that he has been witholding or been indecisive on against the judgment of military advisors, out of some misplaced fear of provoking Russia. Things like: longer range missiles, cluster munitions for HIMARS, tanks, permission for European partners to send fighter jets, ... We are asking Ukraine to fight in ways the US or NATO would never fight.
This indecisiveness, which isn't exclusive to Biden but to all Western politicians, has direct implications on the battlefield and is costing Ukrainian lives. Western politicians have this holy fear of making a wrong decision, so they tend to draw out the decision making process until they are confident about making the decision. This wait-and-see attitude may work well in peacetime, but in wartime not making a decision is also a decision and it is often the worst decision.
Take for example the issue of Western tanks and IFVs to help Ukraine's counteroffensive. There were already calls for this in late spring 2022. By autumn 2022 the Russian army was in ruins, but Ukraine lacked the means to push their advantage home. In the end, the decision was delayed until February 2023. This delay gave ample opportunity for the Russians to mobilize troops and build extensive fortified lines.
The same thing with the fighter jets, we all knew it would be a difficult and long process and not an immediate fix, but if the pilot and crew training had started a year ago, we would be in a much better position today.
Girl = neutral (das Mädchen)
No idea why lol.
Mädchen is a diminutive, and all diminutives are grammatically neutral.
It's the same in Dutch btw, and my girlfriend who is learning Dutch is frequently abusing this as a cheat code: whenever she doesn't know the gender of a word, she'll just use the diminutive and it will automatically be neutral.
Belgium, 48. I drive a manual transmission. I never had a car with an automatic transmission.
he just died too soon for everyone to see him for the villain he was
Oh he died soon enough.
Yeah but those $90 savings make IT management look good, and that 80k/year doesn't come out of IT's budget. Also the productivity loss can't objectively be measured or will just be blamed on the employee.
I earnestly wrote a couple of lines, and then a week later they replied that they don't have enough information to decide, at which point I just threw my hands up and decided for them. I don't need that kind of pedantic hoop jumping in my private life.
I don't think it's possible with the current theming method.
The only way I've found to reliably delete a huge amount of comments and posts is to do a GDPR request for your data, extract the resulting zip file and then use the free shreddit utility to delete your data. The utility has an option where you can point it to the extracted GDPR data, and it will handle everything.
I'm surprised it doesn't say "1 pages", plural, meaning they took the effort to handle the edge case where only one page was scanned instead of multiple or zero.
