There is that too, a similar case would be with our third party software supplier. We come in with an issue and they say we can't change the existing functionality it would affect other customers, best we can do is create a separate functionality for your issue and of course charge it as such (instead of bugfixing)... Doesn't matter that we are their largest customer...

Damn, some of them hit close to home, except I would be the one raising edge case issues. "So holding ctrl while clicking on that is not the use case? Too bad, have a bug." or "You don't think the user will type in δ⌐Ö♦•♀♣♣♀♪♫☼↕◄‼. Too bad have a bug."

Funny in the depressing sort of way, I don't think anything can be funny funny in the politics thread. Either way at this point I am not surprised by anything they do anymore.

In another particularly funny piece of news, Peter McCloskey (former Hague prosecutor) and Albert Moskowitz (former minister of justice for UN) along with Pierre-Richard Prosper (Ambassador at large for war crimes) are defending Hashim Taci.

Wasn't trying to, I just wonder how it would turn out. I don't remember this being covered in the international media at all, I was fairly young then so there is that.

Never known this picture existed Wonder what the reaction would have been if Russian soldiers were holding Zelenskyy like this.

How do we know it's really big, nothing to compare it to, not even a banana.

Will be interesting to see if they cut the flow through the pipeline in Bulgaria. There are astronomical fines to pay if they do that, but who's to say they can't just ignore them.

Germany has Nord 1.

Puberty and hormones.

I don't think anything will be worse that the Skyrim mods I've seen. Ditto. Never got to experience that because there were no original games being sold in my country then (even when they did appear they were prohibitively expensive).

I had to google that. But no, rules and reading didn't have much to do with how I played the game. I'm impressed I got as far along as I did.

You don't want to know how I played the Infinity Engine games when I was a kid...

Riots started after the French elections. Two killed so far.

That is done over here too. By invalidating your ballot you split the vote to all the candidates and make it impossible for anyone to steal your vote.

You would be surprised, times of war make people extremely nationalistic. Also what would there be to gain from stopping the war now, the sanctions are not coming off either way. I think that the only thing that can make the Russian stop the war is if the casualties get very high or they decide to mobilize and the people are not willing to go, ie. it causes civil unrest. I don't know what is the public opinion in Russia on this war, so I can't say what will happen. I very much doubt the west is willing to give anything that is of use to them, or would weaken their own military, also I think you underestimate the time needed to effectively train personnel for new systems.

Let's be honest now, it's the people too. Most people don't care at all about the Ukrainians. Just like how people were hyped for a couple of months about Hong Kong, simply because it was perceived as doing damage to China.

They can still win, it's just that the quick and easy victory is no longer possible, if it ever was. It all depends on how the Russian people feel about this war and how much they are willing to take.

And when the good fight ends and rebuilding starts, they will be asking Ukraine who?

What do you mean? They are paying for it with this war, no? I do not believe even the west would have skin that thick to charge them for the military scrap they are sending them.
