Governments only want other people money (so called taxes/donations), and, sometimes, be elected. Thinking that governments can not provide themselves affordable and usually free housing is somehow contradict reality.

You mismatching 70 years of global efforts to destroy communist state that include giving “freedoms” and “foods” to former v4 to the actual freedom. As soon as, for some reason, Poland wont be on trade route with Russia, have no gas and oil from russia, no slave labor from Ukraine, no EU billions of aids for decades, the magic of capitalism became much weaker. An if your “elites” happen to “disagree” with EU on something more than gays and abortions, you will know what is real capitalism. And you have no jews to blame now, so you will blame Russians.

Brennan dissects a female coachwhip snake in her lab at Mt. Holyoke College in Massachusetts in September 2021. “This is my happy place,” she says.

Brennan really love science. And genitals. And vivisections.

Well, in the world of empty houses and homeless people, who cares if some more losers wont get a flat, or pay their whole salary to avoid eviction? Home and rent prices should go up, and people should work harder and longer to afford luxury of having roof over head.

Kaspersky is indeed FSB controlled, lot of proofs of that in last 10 years, but of course they will not just upload all your data or brick PC in revenge for sanctions (well may be they will if told nuclear war has been started). They will behave according to the agreement, and just let FSB peek a bit for data they legitimately getting. Same as Microsoft / Google / Apple / Amazon etc. relationship with multiple US spying agencies.

alexklark — Sun, 13 Mar 2022 18:14:07 +0000

all phones and laptops have user replaceable batteries, it just some users too stupid to do it properly. i wonder if, after some tragic incidents including lithium and screwdrivers, the next requirement of the eu bureaucrats will be that companies do test that battery can be replaced by the handicapped body positive 15 years old trans girl with iq no more than 80.

But you still need to call a 95 euro/hour certified battery changer professional licensed by the EC battery changing association or pay fines and all your appliances battery licenses will be revoked and issued for a mandatory inspection of certified battery EC inspection professional (169 euro/ hour).

Author should submit it to ms propaganda/evangelist department to get a MVP medal for best bs of the month. Of course MS bs regarding .NOT is nothing new. It was windows only for 21 years and marketed as portable/high speed/modern/backward compartible all that time. All that time it was a cherry picked lie. For the last 6 years they not even mange to offer GUI library. Try to use Winforms. You can’t? Too bad, linux is just for servers anyway, right? Go get Xamarin trash and suffer. “We are on journey, busy with our foundations/pr so fk off.” The right answer was not changed for 10 years: - never use ms tech for web, or you be vendor locked and ripped off - ms technologies in core not changed since 00s, it is same old st in a layers of chocolate. As soon as you get inside, you puke. - never trust ms or you be vendor locked and end up with inferior legacy technologies, without reach to support and with huge tech debt and eventually need to just throw away everything you build - remember, facebook and google not using ms, your grandma do

These two “secret raw databases” are consultant.ru and garant.ru, publicly available legal information and reference software used by all legal departments over the country. This leak is probably made up by FSB.
