Actually, judging by its actions, the US has not abandoned climate action. It's the only way I can explain why it is planning the collapse of its own economy.

I don't give a fuck how Russia is run as long as they stop trying to steal land.

The US and EU might buy a little, but most of it is being bought by China, India, and Africa at a steep discount. As I'm sure you know. Everybody buying Russian oil deserves scorn, even if they are living in the EU or the US.

K, I don't use all caps a lot, but I DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT THE CHINESE CIVIL WAR.

I will not be a slave to history. My defense of Taiwan is entirely based on the here and now.

K I need to qualify that statement somewhat. History is useful for explaining why the world is the way it is today, and serves as a guide into the future, but it is useless as some kind of long term score sheet.

a deal can be made with Russia to end the fighting [in Ukraine].

How do you know? My impression is that any deal without security guarantees from the West will just be violated in about two years or so by Russia, and Russia would refuse to make a deal with such security guarantees for exactly that reason.

If Russia changes its mind and says it would be willing to accept such a deal, I would change my mind. Actually I still wouldn't because Russia are the lyingest bastards I know, but whatever. It hasn't happened. It would never happen.

Imperialists cannot be reasoned with without credible threats of violence. If it were otherwise, they wouldn't be imperialist.

Sir Richard also said British spies were taking “covert action” against Russia to defeat Vladimir Putin and likened intelligence activity today in Ukraine to the “secret war” fought in the Second World War against Nazi Germany.

Well, if anybody can secret-agent their way out of this one, it's the British lol

The exact appearance of the really nice rock is a secret.

(sorry.)

There is one ISO and three boot partitions.

First of all, I formatted the USB drive with one vfat partition. Then I copied the contents of the ISO over. That and some prodding in grub.conf is enough to get the ISO working, and there is a whole lot of extra space in the vfat partition.

The entire contents of all of my computers' hard drives is encrypted, but that leaves the boot partition. So I moved the boot partitions onto the vfat partition, each in a separate folder labelled by the host. Then, I added entries to grub.conf for each host. The USB drive boots and a boot menu appears with all of the ISO's entries, plus a list of hosts. I choose the right host, then boot.

(I need the USB drive mounted before I can update the kernel or the microcode.)

I still feel a strong pull towards r/worldnews.

I'm saying that the world is facing many threats, and all of them need to be addressed. Including some AI.

Does it? Doesn’t that threat exist even without AI

Yes. Your point?
