Russia has recruited many more troops since then. The proper way to interpret this information is that the majority of troops currently deployed in Ukraine were conscripted after the start of the war.

Fuck it. No-one is this thread can seem to agree, so I'm making a unilateral declaration that from here on out, all units of time except for the second are abolished, and we just use unix time for everything. You have until 1699217619s to make the switch.

Never trust the OS that ships with a device. Wipe it, format the disk, and pray that they don't have a backdoor at the bios level.

Continuous scroll websites. I want a sidebar or a menu that lets me jump to the exact information I'm looking for, I don't want to scroll through your entire life story to find the hardware specs.

But it's not a tarxz, it's an xz containing a tar, and you perform operations from right to left until you arrive back at the original files with whatever extensions they use.

If I compress an exe into a zip, would you expect that to be an exezip? No, you expect it to be file.exe.zip, informing you(and your system) that this file should first be unzipped, and then should be executed.

It was hunted to near extinction by introduced predators and considered extinct for several decades until a handful of survivors were located in some very remote areas.

When the survivors were found, the department of conservation moved them into a breeding program on some offshore islands where they would be free from predators. Since then the population has slowly grown and predator eradication programs on the mainland have had enough success that we're now taking a calculated risk on moving some of them back to their original habitat.

I've always been fond of the idea that no person should be able to chop down a tree which is older than they are.

It was there first. Work around it.

Papa-kanga-horo-horo. Eight syllables, pretty straightforward. My Māori is pretty trash, but after one read of it and a handful of times saying it out loud it's pretty simple.

My advice to anyone complaining about it is to just say it out loud a few times. I guarantee that by the time you've said it to the moving company, the power company, the insurance company and your mum, you'll have it locked down.

It also has the added bonus of being completely unique, so there's no chance of your ambulance being dispatched to park terrace on the other side of town while you're choking on park road.

The average citizen probably isnt informed enough to know how critical taiwanese manufacturing is to nearly all Western electronics, but I doubt that level of strategic importance is lost to the politicians who will be making the decision.
