Eastern European countries are in NATO, yes? An alliance Russia knew and knows it cannot defeat, especially keyed up as they are now. EU members may lack might but they have all the kit Ukraine cried for and the US will be pulled in. I can mock ridiculous marketing very freely, they are defending themselves only, which is fine.

Is a very small world then. But half that lot has NATO so that's not going anywhere what with Poland arming to the teeth and the US still being a potent force - then we'd get to see who wants to get nuked over Estonia. Still unconvinced a Russian tide will swarm the globe. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-67360440 https://www.ukrinform.net/rubric-ato/3784439-russian-missile-hits-bulker-under-liberian-flag-off-odesa-coast.html A warning ? Coincidence (anti radiation missile going after the ship's radar) ?

May be confusing what they've given for what they have, US has a lot and some EU countries as well that decide they still need a military themselves rather than sending everything. The real funny part was that Ukraine is defending the world, that scthick has serious mileage (israel is using it now, lol) His other comment that its an "equal partnership" is a bit rich.

I suppose some value in the old saying “It is not those who can inflict the most but those who can endure the most who will conquer.", at least for Leningrad. Didn't recall the casualties being that skewed in Berlin, although you would expect the defender to get the advantage. Right.

Poor Zelensky had wanted to go to Israel to steal some of the spotlight but that got cancelled due to a "leak".

I dunno, stuff like Bagration or Uranus wasn't just zerging.

Always topical

I'm only as good as the last thing I checked Stack Overflow was 😛 That could work, going to a colossal pain in the ass to do that, probably batches.

Pretty sure the filtering will also take a while. Big problem in the query is th CPU and I/O cost being mental. We have this practice of just making tables and never pruning them. The table in question is holding data I'm not sure anyone cares about past 6 months, much less 3 years.

Proved myself a master of SQL optimization by realizing joining on a table of 1 billion rows isn't smart in SQL Server. Always a good sign when my SSMS crashes running a select count(1) on a table.

3 expansions announced at BlizzCon this year, going to have an improved cadence so I guess that's WoW set until 2030.

"Israel has a right to defend itself" is becoming a mantra.

Given how unattached I am to my cell phone, landline is more convenient as I'll leave the phone in a room upstairs and miss calls if they do occur. Land lines used to have the advantage of working through local blackouts but that's gone since we've moved to VOIP.

That'll come after the advanced technology. Although did see some Slava Ukraini types online demanding nukes for Ukraine. Not sure they thought that through.

Danger 5 is an interesting show, not sure how I came across it on Youtube.

Sign of times when crazy dude on the corner wasn't preaching but was screaming unit phrases from Starcraft.

I dunno, I think being a white collar worker is a lot scarier to kids than a devil. Well or it should be.
