This sounds exactly like the lies anti-drug proponents tell to try scare people off drugs. Did you know there was a boy who died after injecting just one marijuana?

It's also just prudence when it comes to the allegiance. If America is going to let a much smaller, less powerful ally get invaded and their idea of a "deal" to end the conflict is to cut off all aid to the ally and give the invaders everything they want, then the allegiance amounts to toilet paper. There's no sense breaking your back to maintain a relationship with an ally who is going to give you nothing but dishonor and cowardice in your time of need.

Subpar selection? I can count on the fingers of one hand the songs I have found on other sources but not Spotify.

I don't even pay for Spotify, but I still use it to find new music because it's hands down the best way to do so. I create a playlist of all the new songs I want and then purchase them all when Bandcamp Friday rolls around. I'm getting all the benefits of Spotify without paying them a cent (my ad blocker even works on it too), plus being as supportive as possible to the artists themselves.

As the former owner of an E36 and then an E90 I can tell you that the more modern ones still piss oil just as badly. And the consequences can be much worse (read: expensive) to boot.

Because the industrial base for producing critical things like ammunition is nearly nonexistent. Despite USA and European arms support Ukraine has been permanently shell-starved for the entire course of the war. Three years later, even after spinning up some new production, Ukraine's allies still don't make enough shells to get anywhere close to 1:1 with what the Russians fire at them (and that was before North Korea started supplying the Russians)

The invasion of Ukraine has made it crystal clear that Europe's military industrial base is utterly incapable of responding to an actual peer conflict on their own soil, let alone providing a deterrent to wars of expansion outside of it. It would be foolish not to be investing in sovereign military capability in today's world.

It might not be the 😵 kind of poison but it is absolutely the 🤮 kind of poison, even when decarbed. I'd describe it as 🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮😵‍💫🤮😵‍💫🤮😵‍💫🤮😵‍💫😴😴😴 and definitely not 🤤 at any point.

As someone who does hit the gym, in my experience the majority of people you're impressing with your physique are men. Sure I'd say most women like it if you have it (assuming you aren't too big), but generalising that it's the main attraction would be a mistake.

Yeah there's not nearly enough damage to the back of the car for it to have hit so hard as to launch it into the air. Plus you can see yellow paint on the ground where the bollard was clearly laid over. OP is right.

By hand you can feel that you've engaged the thread properly. If you just send it with a power tool then dealing with cross threaded fasteners is in your future.

Really not good enough from AMD. I wonder if Intel wasn't a complete dumpster fire right now if they would still cut off the fix at Zen 3 (I doubt it). There's really no reason not to issue a fix for these other than they don't want to pay the engineers for the time to do it, and they think it won't cost them any reputational damage.

I hate that every product and company sucks so hard these days.

This isn't the first time such a vulnerability has been found, have you forgotten spectre/meltdown? Though this is arguably not nearly as impactful as those because it requires physical access to the machine.

Your fervour in trying to paint this as an equivalent problem to Intel's 13th and 14th gen defects, and implication that everyone else are being fanboys, is just telling on yourself mate. Normal people don't go to bat like that for massive corpos, only Kool aid drinkers.

Last I checked hexbear had something like 70% more total comments than lemmy.world despite only having a tiny fraction of the users. Sounds like bots to me
