Now this is enlightening

But the deep state!

The US wanted an obedient Europe but now they no longer want pay for it … Guess obedience time is over.

There you go, Trump made peace with Russia, ezpz.

Never been an imperial power, aside from when we created the concept

I mean, that counts for Russia as well, but until recently you couldn’t say anything like this without getting attacked

Power is a big factor. I’ve never built a specifically torrenting machine, but I’ve added torrenting containers to my virtualized NAS, and for that I’ve built a server based on an AsRock integrated board, it’s passively cooled so it’s silent and intrinsically power efficient. They’re usually limited in RAM, but I got it up to 32GB by buying verified compatible sticks.

As for building ratio, something like autobrr helps get the torrents as soon as they are announced, improving your uploads, and on trackers where it is supported, seed bonus is nice, you can keep seeding old torrents and convert the points to upload.

I was assigned the installation of a whole industrial line for food packaging, multiple millions worth, on and off I spent like 8 months abroad forcing badly designed machines into working (I was the top tech and I resigned after this job), even ended up in the hospital, likely due to stress. Few months after I left, I go out drinking with a former colleague who had been on site with me, he says: “Well, I’m happy to inform you that, the customer hasn’t called us for months! Means everything’s working, great job!” and shook my hand.

The following morning, another former colleague sends me the screenshot of a mail from the customer saying that the business opportunities didn’t work out and they’re decommissioning the line. Literal blood, sweat and tears, completely wasted.

Dude’s Polish, in his language this difference probably doesn’t exist

I use Nobara on my desktop and Fedora on my laptop, they both work fine, although I’ve had a few audio issues on Nobara, but it could be the different hardware. I don’t play emulators, but every game I’ve tried on Nobara worked with no fiddling, just recently: Cyberpunk 2077, Subnautica, Horizon Forbidden West, X4…

I’ve been using Fedora for I don’t know how long, over a decade I’d say, and it’s hard to overstate it’s stability, it just works, and has great repos. My main annoyance is the frequent major version updates, it’s a quick process anyway, and I never had problems.

Thanks a lot! I’ve been an avid reader as a kid, I use it a lot online, and I also used to travel quite a bit for work, although that probably hindered me more than helping, as, aside from a bunch of visits to the US a looong time ago, I rarely visited English-speaking countries; everywhere else I always had to adapt my English to the local accents and common errors.

The best was visiting other romance-language-speaking countries, where we started off with English, then began incorporating each others’ language until every time we ended up with weird mixes that I liked to call Desperanto.

So I’m old enough and from a poor (at the time) enough area that I was taught French from middle school to the first years of high school… I learned nothing.

I learned English by myself just by reading stuff online.

Then fucking do something about it, you clowns! Is the fucking EU gonna let Putin’s museum pieces and demotivated army get their way?
Like we don’t have the means to fucking deal with them!!

Eh, Caritas is a corrupt organization anyway

I think that the problem is bigger than Trump. We can’t really trust an ally whose position can change radically from one administration to another, essentially every 4 years.

We need to provide an inviting environment for research and study, become the learning center of the world, super-partes.

We don’t have alternatives as we don’t have the resources or population of the other powers.

I mean, if I had the power of Rolls-Royce turbine engines in my arms, I could probably do it

I believe they’re mostly made of alluminium
