What can people do to avoid getting caught by the bubble popping? Remove all tech stocks from their portfolio? What about indices like S&P500?

The NOS based their claim on statistics, not personal impressions from specific regions. From the data it’s clear that more and more payment terminals have the tipping bullshit enabled and that it results in more tips.

I suppose they don’t receive many requests because it’s already known that the answer will be no.

The whole frontline is northeast of Crimea.

Labor conditions in the USA are so fucked up. Join a union, you need collective action to make changes.

I suspect there’s multiple reasons. There’s morale, there’s increased control of the Black Sea, and there’s cutting off supplies and other support for the southern front. I think the last is the most valid reason.

Ukraine more or less has drone control over the roads running east-west along the southern front. This left the Krim as the safest supply route. However, the Krim is relatively easy to isolate because it’s an island. Destroy the bridges and ships, and voila, no more supply line.

Additionally, Russia used the Krim as a safe rearguard and to launch long-range strikes. Displacing such strikes gives Ukraine more response time, because Russia needs to launch from further away. And it makes it harder for Russia to strike Odesa, which is important for Ukraine’s exports and therefore also for its financial situation.

If Ukraine manages to break through Russia’s southern front, I wouldn’t be surprised if they can push all the way to the Black Sea/Krim/Sea of Azov in one go, since Russia will have great difficulties responding in that area.

Don’t ships have everything compartmentalized? If the bridge burns down, that fire shouldn’t spread to the rest of the ship, right?

With how Microslop is sabotaging itself, I’m not sure if that’s something they’re trying to achieve for Windows

Dual boot?

I hope it’s the latter, makes the cleanup easier.

One thing that stands out to me is that in all the videos I’ve seen, there was only one that didn’t target the bridge. I haven’t seen a single video of a ship sinking. I guess they’re just trying to immobilize them to avoid environmental disasters? But where are all those hit ships now? Floating around aimlessly?

I’m glad they’re taking their time and doing things thoroughly, as an end user I don’t want to run into some opaque issues related to window managers, shit should just work.
