Yeah that won’t work sadly. It’s an AI we’ve given computers the ability to lie and make stuff up so it’ll just claim to have done it. It won’t actually bother really doing it.

Well fortunately we have you. Who contribute a great deal I’m sure

It never leads anywhere though. North Korea has always been fobbed off with decades-old technology,it’s not like they will know.

So everyone continues to ignore them because they continue not to be a threat. It’s not in Russia’s interest to give them anything really advanced, assuming they have anything left to give them. The best thing Russia could give them would be infrastructure engineers but they’re probably not interested in their own populace enough to consider that a worthy exchange.

Pretty asymmetric that isn’t it. On one side you have a nation that is rapidly running out of, well basically everything, and on the other side you’ve got an alliance of nation states which contain among many other things the largest most powerful military on the planet.

Finally the nation that is running out of resources is now getting military support from quite possibly the worst place they could get it from.

It’s going to be one of those ridiculous situations that only happens in Civilization, where you’re bombing cavemen with nukes because your adversary has failed to advance through the tech tree fast enough.

I will never understand why the American military think it’s a good idea to send them tanks that are so complicated. Especially when they’re going up against cold war era relics.

The best tactic Ukraine could have at this point would just be to encourage the North Koreans to defect. Can’t imagine it’ll be particularly difficult, “hey switch sides and we won’t kill you, and here’s a free house with electricity, water and indoor plumbing”.

It would be like trying to convince people to leave the 15th century.

I’m sure that will be really helpful, I bet they’re really well trained and have lots of modern equipment that isn’t just painted wood.

Obvious troll is obvious. Grow up

Military experts say Ukraine’s ability to use Western-supplied weapons in Russia is aiding its fightback.

Wow, thank God for that expert analysis.

If you want ethanol then vodka would be better than beer as it has fewer other components

I’ll remember this the next time I feel like going to the US

I’m confused you just randomly have the lotto numbers from a decade back memorized?

It’s because they reckon on 8-hour days but then under UK law they have to give you two 15-minute breaks and one 30-minute lunch. So they decide that they don’t like that so you’ve got to work the hours back so they add an extra hour on and then claim that your break times don’t count.

But the problem with that is the only reason that I’m having a break in the town rather than at my house is because of all the other hours I’m doing around it. So really they should be paying for it. Capitalism is going to capitalism.

Well, it’s all Earth.

Is that the ones where they claim it’s remote but really they need you in the office 3 days a week?

I once made the mistake of saying I was willing to relocate, like to a different city or something, and they took that to mean anywhere on the planet. And all the jobs they were asking me about when weird places like Saudi Arabia, and it wasn’t even well paid.

The transports don’t use antimatter. And too much or is just used for power generation the transport has just run on that power.

Right but they get all that energy from atom to energy conversion. The starships get that from antimatter reactors but I’m pretty certain that planet-based installations probably just put a bunch of trees and gravel in as base material, convert that to energy and then convert that back into useful atoms.

If you can do matter conversion, then power generation is almost certainly trivially easy.

Like Wikipedia, and articles that don’t use semicoulons correctly.

there is a narrow alleyway near me that all the GPS systems seem to think is a road. It isn’t a road, you cannot travel down it. It’s bugged me for years, if we updated in this app will I fix it for other GPS systems or is this a standalone thing that only nerds use?
