I second this - things that someone might look for - for a simple reason: OSM will always need more people mapping, and if the maps are useful to more people, more people will use it and recommend it to their friends. And a small portion of those users will eventually become mappers. Some of those will even form or join a local mapping community.

So the more useful info there is, more mappers will come, and the feedback loop will take care of the rest. :)

Fair enough, same here.

Holy misleading project name, Batman!

What's your opinion on Suunto running watches? They're on my radar as a Garmin replacement also because they're from Europe, but from the (very cursory) research I've done, they might be more difficult to use without having a Windows system.

It was a joke. Jokes tend to be "a bit of a stretch". 🙄

At first, I read "wedding robots" and my mind went in weird directions. :)

Can it, though? :)

My condolences, and welcome!

I would guess the manpower drain of their costly Ukraine war has a larger effect than the sanctions. They are simply running out of people to work on stuff, throughout the country.

So, you turn to vodka. Again.

I must be doing something wrong with my 15 years old Debian installation, then.

Nukes. That's the only reason Russia is still even on the map.

If you ever need to ask yourself this, you ain't no friend of mine...

They don't seem to be getting destroyed, though...

They are supposed to pay it out to families of the soldiers. But they skirt around that by simply not retrieving their dead and wounded from the battlegrounds, and marking the soldiers as unknown/missing, thus deferring the payments indefinitely.

There have been multiple reports of wives/widows trying to find out what happened to their husbands, or at least to collect the money, with the military admin stonewalling them.

I think they chose to focus more on the human warmth and positive vibes, and, dare I say, normalcy, to contrast with Trump's themes of hate and inhumanity that his campaign even seems to be ratcheting up in these final days.

He smirked at the compliment. “What’s discipline got to do with winning?”

That right there tells me all I ever want to know about Trump and how he sees competition.

Not an American, so I do not feel called out, nor do I care about downvotes from idiots who think Lemmy threads are here to be won or lost by getting or giving out good and bad points. :)

EDIT: By "idiots", I didn't necessarily mean you. Only after posting this comment I realized that it could be understood that way. Sorry.

Thanks, now that makes things clearer - on Wikipedia, I noticed this "if resident of a US state" exception for voting, but I automatically dismissed it as unimportant, thinking "eh, that has to be a very small fraction of Puerto Ricans".

Thanks everyone for the informative responses - as a non-US person, I wasn't aware of the intricacies of Puerto Rico's unusual voting situation. 👍
