Operational targets can’t all just simply be moved further and further back from the front lines of a conflict, to say nothing of high value tactical targets.

Supplying several hundred low observable air launched cruise missiles per month would absolutely make a significant difference on the battlefield, that’s not even a question.

But that doesn’t mean I believe that would enough to cause Putin to reverse course, or to deliver a strategic defeat to the Russian army.

Regardless, Germany doesn’t have that manufacturing capacity to begin with, nor do I believe they have the political will to do that, even if it were possible, but again, it is not.

I understand exactly what it is. What I’m saying is that Germany does not have the volume on hand, or the manufacturing capacity to produce such a volume, where it could generate the effect the candidate is implying it can.

Capability and capacity are two very different things.

Yes, I understand the manufacturing capability exists, but it’s capacity is limited i.e. existing facilities could not maintain a strategically significant production volume relative to Ukraine’s needs, much less to deter Putin.

Oh I’m sure the thought of two dozen cruise missiles will straighten Putin out ASAP.

For starters, this would not be a new or unprecedented capability for the Ukrainians.

If Germany had several hundred to part with immediately, and the capacity to regularly replenish those stocks, that would make a significant difference on the battlefield, but I doubt it would make Putin sue for peace.

But of course, Germany does not have those kind of stockpiles or manufacturing capacity to maintain that.

Still, it would be nice to see more European politicians picking up the banner of supplying Ukraine in the face of likely diminished, or eliminated, American transfers.

For all his faults, Prigozhin had a better grasp on reality, and more brains, then Kadyrov has ever possessed. And Colonel General Caterer was an idiot.

The point is, as funny as the Hot Dog Mutiny was, a TikTok Insurrection would both be significantly shorter lived, and exponentially more hilarious.

I don’t use Matrix or Discords, but I’ll expand slightly on my comment:

BAN THE CREDIBLES. SHAME THE LESSCREDIBLES.

I think you mean classical NCD.

Lemmites keep bringing lesscredible and credible thoughts and actions to this community, severely damaging its noncredibility. Crying shame it is.

My clearly noncredible comment, even got them to downvote a Lazerpig video…dafuq?

Unless there’s a way to secure public funding for them, this seems like a reasonable middle road.

Like Patreon, which while having its own unique set of problems, enables a paid content distribution ecosystem for independent creators unlike anything else available.

So, absent inserting invasive advertising, and lacking public funds, I can’t see how else they’re supposed to maintain infrastructure and development costs.

That video contradicts it’s entire thesis and disproves his own title.

He claims it sucks, and that he can prove it with math, yet he documents it’s unparalleled success at killing friendly forces.

So tell me, how can it both be the best in the world, and suck at the same time.

You’re missing the standard issue binoculars, which is pretty mission critical kit. Because without the binoculars, they can’t see the friendly forces they’re aiming their strafing run at.

Not everyone has a safety deposit box, or the ability to access a proper and secure off-site storage.

And if you’re just keeping those in your house, then fire, flood, and other incidents can destroy all copies at once.

Your list of semi non-perishable foods does need some caveats about storage, because most of those things can go bad, depending on how they were stored.

Frozen meat can spoil, as not all bacterial growth stops, some just slows down a whole lot. So if Grandma threw in a store plastic wrapped tray of chicken quarters, after being in the fridge for 3 days, and now it’s 8 years later, those might not be safe for human consumption.

Stuff that was vacuum sealed, much more likely to last the long haul in the freezer, if done properly.

Long-term stored grain, when not in vacuum sealed or other airtight containers, can develop molds or other bacterial contaminations.

Improperly stored vinegar, if you try to use it…it will ruin your salad dressing, and taste like shit. But it’s pretty easy to see if vinegar has gone ick.

Can’t say I’ve ever seen moldy or spoiled vinegar, but I’ve seen the type of kitchens that would be capable of making it happen in a long enough time frame.

I’ve also never seen bad dry storage pasta or beans, but I imagine they carry the same long-term storage concerns as grains, even if they’re probably a bit more durable.

Aging for whiskey and scotch is done in specialized wood barrels with specific environmental conditions, not in the bottle.

If the hard booze bottles been opened for a long time, it’s always possible some evaporation, or other slight changes have occurred that may impact taste, but still perfectly safe. Assuming it’s 80 proof and up.

Throw out open wines if you’re not comfortable determining if they’re still consumable and not spoiled.

TLDR: Toss opened bottles of wine, but any hard liquor should be safe, even if it taste is degraded.

Nah, I’m with you, except I use BitWarden.

There are somethings either worth paying someone else to host, or where you trust a 3rd party more than you’re own setup. I realize other users may feel different, but ultimately it’s a judgement call

BW has been a pretty great opensource company, and it’s worth my $10/yr for premium.

What I meant is that OP was asking for a response that not many, if any users here, could deliver here with any conviction or belief.

You might as well be asking for users here to share when it was they knew Trump was the best president of their lifetime. Just the wrong audience for that question, assuming you want a sincere response.

It’s just as insane as asking this question on Lemmy.

No offense, but you’d have better luck on Reddit, which has at least a larger number of users who don’t veer as far left as the average Lemmy user, as well as decent numbers of actual conservative and MAGAs.

But yes, like the rest of the commenters here, I agree it is insane, prejudicial, and one of the most clear cut examples of systemic racism.

Back when VICE was still somewhat of a journalistic organization, they did a pretty good piece on it.

I think you can enable IIS, or at least some version of it, under Windows Features for Windows 10 Pro/Edu installs.

But someone can correct me if I’m wrong about that.

No, I’m living in this thread. I’m talking about very specific issues related to LLMs, that I’ve highlighted ad nauseam.

Reread if you’re confused.

If anything, it shows that you believe in the concept of “AI” way more than I do, as you’re conflating LLM and FSD.

I don’t believe in AI, it doesn’t exist. Just specific advanced machine learning algorithms, some better than others, and some all smoke and mirrors. But here, now, I’m talking about LLMs.
