Cooling is a big issue earthside. Don't see how that gets easier when you must dump heat in vacuum rather than into streams or oceans.

I think you're projecting your own mindset on the Russians, but you have a vastly different background.

Russians are trained to stay out of politics and live their everyday lives. As long as they can do that, Putin is safe. To endanger Putin's war effort, disrupt their normality. The fuel blockade is a great step in that direction. Everyone's packages burning works too. Or mobilization. Or internet outages.

Putin does NOT want some kind of war spirit awakening, he keeps jailing the people who are trying to make it happen.

@anderspuck made an excellent video about all this:

@randahl
It's obvious that Ukrainians will not have peace and freedom until they inflict massive economic stress on Russia. This is how they can do it.

There was a peaceful solution available every day for 12 years which Putin feels no need for because ordinary Russians keep working, keep paying taxes, keep running the war machine.

What do you think Ukraine should target instead?

@thomasfuchs
And the Brits probably drink 5L of tea a day. Each. I guess it works out.

@thomasfuchs
That amount of energy would boil more than 5 liters of water. I think most European kettles run less than that.

Not sure about the UK, but most continental kettles max out at close to 2 kW so they don't pop all the 10A fuses.

It used to be madness to go beyond the first two pages of results. Now it's the other way round.

@randahl
Trump pulling out US forces will not magically reopen Hormuz, stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons, keep Israel from bombing or bring peace to the other Gulf states.

Perhaps Congress can force an end to US involvement, but they cannot "force an end to the Iran mess". That can of worms is already all over the floor.

Church of Jeff KNOWS that the face in this image is AI-generated and has left it up, no clarifying edit.

This is misinformation at a critical time and confuses and delays the hunt for Renee Good's murderer.

I recommend to report and block.

@gimulnautti
I don't think the war is expensive enough to threaten EU financial stability. Russia, on the other hand might soon need a saving knight.

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.
