The second I have to use regular expressions I'm turning straight.

Chromecast doesn't work on most hotels WiFi anyway. At least it won't work if they have a page to sign into the WiFi after connecting. Pretty much have to use a HDMI cable in most cases

Or that they use child slave labor.*

*Note: they don't own slaves just contract work out to slave owners

Okay, gotchu. The things you said were true just so wild to use as an explanation for ending quarantine that I had to take a second.

It's worded in such a way as to be meaningless - half of what? The original number of Russian soldiers, the original number plus Wagner and other extra troops, the current number deployed with/without mercenaries? Plus Russia's numbers don't look like US numbers, don't quite look like Ukraines numbers.

That said heres the first source I found:

Russia’s military casualties, the officials said, are approaching 300,000. The number includes as many as 120,000 deaths and 170,000 to 180,000 injured troops. The Russian numbers dwarf the Ukrainian figures, which the officials put at close to 70,000 killed and 100,000 to 120,000 wounded.

...

Russia has almost triple that number, with 1,330,000 active-duty, reserve and paramilitary troops — most of the latter from the Wagner Group.

Those numbers refer to the current number of deployed and undeployed Russian soldiers plus mercenaries, which is clearly not the numbers the ad is using.

To be clear, I fully support Ukraine and fully support the US guaranteeing missile manufacturers that we will buy new missiles even if the war ends tomorrow to incentivise greater production. I just think the ad played with the numbers until they said what we want them to say.

I legit can't tell if you're continuing the joke or being serious. It's just crazy enough that I'm certain some people believe it

SCCM > MECM, Azure AD > Entra ID etc

Wait... I'm only 3 years into it. Is SCCM the direct predecessor of AAD/EID? I follow the SCCM group on Reddit because they usually have good opinions on updates, but have never understood what the fuck they actually did.

It's not the entire plot, but it gives you a pretty good idea of the rest.

If this really is your primary reason, talk to your partner about adoption or foster care. There's no guilt but you can still have all the wonderful things

Yeah. I was so stoked when I got this name before I learned how it all worked

 

Not sure if this is allowed. If not let me know I'll remove it. I just joined the fediverse yesterday and have a million questions about how it works, I assume I'm not the only one so I created a magazine for asking questions about it, but I need knowledge people who can actually answer these questions. If any of you are interested in joining that would be awesome!
