I’m still hoping for a Year of Four Emperors Presidents where Biden loses, dies before the inauguration so Kamala is sworn in, Trump is inaugurated but dies shortly afterward leaving his VP as president

A quick and dirty version

State Department spokesman Vedant Patel says the only option to end the war is the withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukraine

Completely disengaged from reality. The more these ghouls push this line the more poor bastards are going to be pulped in the trenches. This war was always going to end with Russian victory, the only only question was how many people were going to die before it’s over. It has to be clear that a Ukrainian surrender is the only way it’s ending right? Like even the most delusional nafo dogs of empire have to see there’s no way for 55 year old under equipped conscripts to take Moscow, right?

I guess at the end of the day they don’t care, the ruling class just wants a place to get paid for old busted gear, and the nafo freaks just want to lap up propaganda and be racist against an acceptable target. We all know the second it’s over they’ll just pivot to Taiwan and posting racist Xi memes

I work a lot with very dilute solutions, so I got the equation for calculating Parts Per Billion on my arm. The mods actually host it on this site, the link is at the bottom of the page right above the modlog

Nice try getting people to post identifing information Mr Feds

Mfw my bike lock has a physical key _{___}

Almost literally what I did when figuring I am bi lmao

I know it’s not news, but something about “masks on except for official photos” just really gets to me. Something about how serious they take covid when the cameras contrasted with the public “everything’s fine, whatvid-19 is over just a cold, don’t worry about it” messaging.

Edit: just saw 2021, I’ve adjusted accordingly but the point still stands

Look, he was on a winning streak and his friend said “no logging off til we lose”, it’s not his fault he was up all night!

They provided the carbon fiber didn’t they?

Edit: CEO Stockton “Crush” Rush said he bought it from Boeing

Not that I’ve found, I’m still in the early chapters where he talks of his childhood, his apprenticeship to a furrier, his early political education, and being drafted into the army in 1915.

It’s an interesting side note, but he outlines that the artisans weren’t nearly as politically involved as factory workers and other proletarians because the artisan class was more focused on their individual advancement and the possibility of opening their own shops while the factory workers had no hope of ever starting their own factories and so were more involved in labour organization

It looks like it was translated & published by some English firm shortly after the original was published in the USSR. I couldn’t find any Soviet ties with the brief googling I did.

It’s a little rough around the edges but that just comes from it being a 60 year old book. It’s clearly been well cared for. I always wonder about the journey these old books take

He’s a petite bourgeois parasite who underpays you for your produce, overcharges the townsfolk, and takes credit for high quality produce you sell him. Plus he’s got that Mr Beast brain disease that makes him think enjoying himself is a waste of potential earning time, he never participates in festivals and instead operates a popup shop.

The only thing he has going for him is his opposition to Jojo, but that’s not even on moral grounds, he just wants his own petite monopoly without the threat of a massive corporation running him out of business. Oh, and he punches the Jojo manager whats-his-nuts (I never interact with Jojo outside mandatory cutscenes) if you encourage him to.

Fr fr I’m incredibly jealous that they’re actually able to improve the lives of their citizens. Meanwhile the only infrastructure projects I can think of near me are all “just one more lane bro I swear just one more lane” highway widening projects that take longer to complete than it takes the People’s Republic of China to lay down thousands of kilometers of high speed rail.

I can’t wait for the Russian breakthrough and encirclement of New York

I’ve found the secret is going to Chinatown/wherever your local Asian diaspora shops and buying them there, they’re often cheaper than or at least comparable to Mr Noodles or other generics. No hate on those, they’ve served me well, but they aren’t nearly as good as some random $0.75/$1 Korean spicy noodle pack

I’ve been getting random Korean/Japanese instant noodles and dressing them up with some pan fried veggies and maybe a boiled egg. It’s been great, one pack of noodles on its own isn’t that filling but once it’s rounded out with some veg its a much better meal
