Maybe if we started talking about the amount of greenhouse gasses the planes release more people would care.

Oh, just a disappointing LV attraction. I was hoping for some Charlie Sheen level winning here. I could have used a good celebrity melt down this week.

He let us down AGAIN. SMDH 😔

If I were her, I would have had a plan B knowing what the right wingers were up to, and it should have looked a lot like what Bernie and AOC are doing. Instead she showed up then fucked off to somewhere else after hanging out with Dick Cheney for a few months.

Bush 100% knew the Saudis were behind it, so not sarcasm.

The US wanted a base in the Middle East that wasn’t SA, and Iraq was an easy target. They didn’t care about destabilization. That was a perk. It was all about force projection from a central base.

That’s Bro country.

Dallas, which checks out.

Wow. What did Seinfeld do to you?

NIN is the blue ring. 😆

100% agree. Climate change too, but national security if nothing else.

The plan Putin and Xi have is probably to get the US mired in conflicts with Mexico and Canada, which would leave Europe isolated and more willing to deal with Russia. Russia has a lot of energy reserves, and they want to use them as leverage against Europe. Control of Ukraine energy reserves should be a top priority for Russia.

The US is sending lots of oil/ng over to Europe to make cutting off Russian oil feasible. Without US oil, Europe is going to have a hard time functioning, and they would have to start talking with the Russians.

Why WSL? Because I’d be setting up a Linux VM anyway.

Microsoft software and NinjaRMM screen sharing. Ninja and MS SQL management tools are the biggest blockers since the web versions of M365 are adequate.

Not necessarily. Rsync deltas are very efficient, and not everything supports deltas.

It may very well be the correct tool for the job.

Anyway, problem fit wasn’t part of the question.

I’m probably going to invest in some hardware to get powerful enough VMs.

I have a company issued laptop and work for a Microsoft partner.

It would be nice if they’d give me an AVD session or twelve.

The daemon tracks file state, so the transfers start quicker because rsync doesn’t have to scan the filesystem.

This ethereal concept titled “Work” is pointing a pistol towards me.

But yeah. Windows is trash. I’m going to go submit resumes and buy lottery tickets.

I’m going to have to try this. This sounds delicious.

What kind of chilis though? Serrano?

Okay cool, but post the random IOPs please.

Isolating the US and breaking US hegemony. Trump is a Putin puppet, and what’s best for Russia is crippling the US economically and diplomatically. Alienating the EU cuts off the EU from the US who would otherwise help the Europeans against the Russians as they try to reclaim their former territories.

This also helps China who is trying to replace the US as the world superpower. BRICS is doing a good job of creating a competing economic alliance, and the US falling apart helps make it more attractive.

Not a conservative, by the way. Just someone who follows the news.
