To me it looks like more weapons make Russian invasion less likely. Si vis pacem, para bellum.

@shuro
If Russia was trying to become strong, rich and healthy, they would have acted differently.

@bretdevereaux made the point that industrialization has caused a phase change, where it pays better to build up internal improvements, rather than trying to grab from neighbors.

This has somehow not occurred to the Kremlin. Maybe because their hold on power gets slippery once they allow the corresponding social developments?

Thanks for the app, it's great 👍

I have recurring problems with muted for home accounts showing up in the home timeline. Remuting but it gets a little bothersome. It's sporadic so I can't reproduce, but if you could take another look at the relevant code it would be nice.

The dementia treatment for my age group will be putting us in front of a browser pointed at Slashdot.

The same row of stories will be recycled every 24 hours, we will keep reposting the same comments. Those with slightly better memory will notice that some stories have been posted before, they will complain about it, and everything will be as it was.

Cc @CmdrTaco , just because I can.

#Denmark plans national #drone center, to open in 2026.

Center with 100 employees (both #military and civilian) will be located in Odense where the university and local companies form a strong #robotics cluster.

Who is our nuclear umbrella?

Asking as a Dane.

Trump threatens invasion, France is going Le Pen, Starmer does his best to throw the UK to Farage.

Our best bet is probably a Nordic-Baltic-Poland-Ukraine alliance with nuclear deterrence. Ukraine and Poland have strong ground forces. Any of those governments might turn fascist, but all of them are close enough to Russia to still have a self-interest in a strong defense.

It's expensive, but a lot cheaper than war.

Needs an electric bike in there, I think they're an important player.

If you force them, they'll be very croissants.

@kimwulff
Doing fine, thanks 😃

I have decided I'll be fine without the conflict, there will be other fights. Or maybe I don't need them at all.

Biden will never run again. Why should they care?

@goatsarah
Post examples, please 😁

@clarity
I guess the main issue is how the cultures that don't value expansion defend themselves against those that do. How do you fight that without becoming the enemy?

@clarity
Not yet, but it's somewhere on the list
@j12i

@j12i
Good question. I'm not sure I do. But I think it helps to acknowledge that we're descended from a long line of expansionists that rolled over whatever was there beforehand. There are powerful tendencies left in us by our history and they will not be easy to redirect.

I like the way you reframe the problem to "favourite bar" rather than "competing kingdoms" which is one way to trigger a different pattern of reactions.

It's not actually thick, but the fracture pattern fascinated me.

Are they SMRs? When can they finish construction?

With a bit of work,the hydrogen units can probably be converted to battery trains for short branch lines. Not all wasted.
