No development required, I think they can open a drawer somewhere and pick one of several soviet designs. If they want a nuke, they can build one right away.

It would cost them the support of their allies, however, and they cannot afford that.

It's saber rattling.

AI, check the identical blue windows on the high rise in front/lower left, continue with the other wacky windows there.

Nonetheless a fantastic cityscape.

I switched my main gaming computer to Mint after testing it on a laptop. Being away from Windows is awesome. You know how everything always wants your attention on Windows? Your antivirus proudly announces its existence. Windows wants to know if it should remove some printers? Some PDF software needs updated RIGHT NOW. There's a license change please acknowledge this 20 page document. Animated attention grabbing everywhere. I always think FUCK OFF when presented with this bullshit.

You know what - Mint doesn't do that. I've not been internally shouting at my own computer since I went that way.

It is serene.

Just power-hungry generals? Anything more to the story?

I think the most important topic right now is confronting the climate change and the problems it is going to cause, on every level local, regional, national and international. This looming crisis is going to affect everything and everyone on an existential level, and requires every of these government levels, even every individual, to fucking work and to fucking stand together.

And now my compatriots elect AfD.

Among the nonaligned is the German far right party that got kicked out of id for being too extreme.

176cm would be given as "eins-sechsundsiebzig" in German, literally translating to one six and seventy (yeah it's backwards), which works exactly like currency.

It is known in Germany, "Eulen nach Athen tragen". I've heard the explanation that the currency of Athens in antiquity had owl on one side.

Yeah you're right. Our news would use "Kongo" for the catastrophe and "Kongo-Brazzaville" for the country.
