The "theorem", if we wanna call it that, says that, given an infinite amount of monkeys and time, they could write Shakespeare.

This doesn't mean it's actually possible in the real world, it's just to say that random events can seem, from the outside, like intelligent creations. Like a cloud that looks like a pig, no one actually created it to look like that, it was just random happenstance.

Depends on the conventions used in your country, there's no real reason for using a comma instead of a dot, or vice versa.

In Italy this is a decimal number: 3,45 and this is a big number: 6'000'870

Every country has its own convention

If perfected means they put it even where probably there wasn't a need for it, then yes. HSR is fantastic for connecting big cities, but it's also very expensive and sometimes China has prioritized HSR rather than regular rail, even though there wasn't a strict need for very fast expensive trains. Sometimes slower, more frequent and cheaper low speed rail can make more sense.

It's not bad per se, but it's money that could be used for better purposes.

Ok, but this doesn't explain why you would choose to self-host VaultWarden rather than using BitWarden.

Regardless of the legality of the action or the product itself, a video reviewing, showing or reporting on it shouldn't be passable of a copyright claim.

Even if the video shows copyrighted material, it still shouldn't be allowed for Nintendo to claim it, as that would fall under fair use. Just showing a few screenshots of a video game for the purposes of education in an otherwise unrelated video would never fall under copyright infringement.

The piracy argument has nothing to do with Nintendo claiming a video as their own, despite them having no rights to do so.

That's not at all how piracy works. They don't lose any money by me not buying their product, the money was never theirs to lose. They can earn money if I buy it, but if I don't, then nothing changed. It's not like every company is entitled to my money.

Pirating or using Gimp or Krita instead, has the exact same effect on them, ie me not buying their product.

This looks like a weird version of a cold world era map, blue being US and allies, red USSR and allies and yellow non aligned countries. A little bit weird in Africa and south America, but we're mostly there

 
 

From the video description:

Russian mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin said on Friday (June 23) that the official Kremlin-backed version of why Moscow started its 'special military operation' against Ukraine was based on lies concocted by his perennial adversary - the army's top brass.

Prigozhin has for months been accusing Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu and Russia's top general, Valery Gerasimov, of rank incompetence, but on Friday he for the first time rejected Russia's core justifications for beginning its military intervention in Ukraine on Feb. 24 last year.

"...The Defence Ministry is trying to deceive society and the president and tell us a story about how there was crazy aggression from Ukraine and that they were planning to attack us with the whole of NATO" Prigozhin said in a video clip released on Telegram by his press service, calling the official version "a beautiful story."

"The special operation was started for different reasons," he said. "The war was needed.. so that Shoigu could become a marshal ... so that he could get a second 'Hero [of Russial medal. The war wasn't needed to demilitarise or denazify Ukraine."

He also said the conflict had been needed to acquire "material assets" to divide among the ruling elite.

Prigozhin portrays his Wagner private militia, which spearheaded the capture of the city of Bakhmut last month, as Russias most effective fighting force, and has enjoyed unusual freedom to publicly criticise Moscow, albeit not President Vladimir Putin, on whose support he ultimately depends.
