Investing in Ukraine: Folly or Wisdom?
Supporting Ukraine now is one of the best investments the U.S. can make this century. It unlocks major business opportunities for U.S. companies, invests in cutting-edge innovation, and deters further aggression from China and Russia againstย U.S.www.csis.org
The image is a humorous comparison between two types of auras, labeled "WEAK AURA" on the left and "STRONG AURA" on the right. The left side features a dark silhouette of a person surrounded by various weapon icons, with a label "ENGINEERING KIT" and a description "Further reduces recoil when crouching or prone by 30%." Below this, there is text stating, "I will engage the enemy at a safe and strategic distance while retreating to more favourable positions." The right side shows a glowing figure with a bright aura, surrounded by icons including a car, a tree, and a bag, with a label "DEMOCRACY PROTECTS" and a description "50% chance to not die when taking lethal damage." Below this, there is text stating, "FUCK IT WE BALL F*K IT WE BALL FK IT WE BALL F*K IT WE BALL." The overall theme humorously contrasts cautious gameplay with reckless behavior.

The #occupation bombed the tents of displaced people in the Al-Mawasi area west of Khan Yunis, which was supposed to be a "safe zone." The tents caught fire, and those inside were burned alive and dead.
There are martyrs and wounded on the spot, and the tragedy is being repeated amid the world's silence and the helplessness of conscience.
A new massacre is added to the record of open #genocide in #Gaza.

The image is a meme divided into two sections, each with text and an image. On the left, the text reads: "HELLDIVERS ILLUMINATE Y-you don't understand. It's very complicated. Am I evil? Or just trying to defeat the greater evil? Whooo knowssss" accompanied by an image of a blue holographic character sitting in a circular device. On the right, the text reads: "HELLDIVERS ILLUMINATE I love genocide" with an image of a large, armored character holding a weapon. The meme humorously contrasts the complexity of the character's actions with a straightforward, dark statement.

A one or two story house, they take down within an hour; a three or four-story house takes a bit longer,โ he said. โThe official mission was to open a logistical route for maneuvering, but in practice, the bulldozers were simply destroying homes. The southeastern part of Rafah is completely destroyed. The horizon is flat. There is no city.โ

I've been running it on FCEUXD SP all the time, but technically, any emulator should work.
I'll try to release it somewhere as soon as I draw a cover. Would be happy for any feedback.

Nice thing about rural broadband installations is that you get to climb houses and see everything around. Polesia is flat, so looking at it from 10 metres up is rare. My teen me would have loved it. Now that I'm old climbing buildings is not fun. But this was an emergency โ a farmer lost his connection because of a malfunctioning BTS and I had to switch to a different technology, which meant I had to replace the ODU. And my technicians were unavailable.

One person dead and five injured after car explodes near IVF facility in Palm Springs
Police say explosion outside American Reproductive Centers fertility clinic was โan intentional act of violenceโ
At least one person is dead after a car exploded near a reproductive facility in Palm Springs, California, according to local authorities.
Palm Springs Police spokesperson Mike Villegas told reporters the car explosion was โan intentional act of violenceโ but the investigation is ongoing.
Officials did not immediately say whether or not the person who died was associated with the car, but a facility official said all of the buildingโs staff were safe and physically unharmed.
At least also five people were injured in the explosion, ABC7 reported, citing law enforcement sources.

Additionally, no matter what any government has done so far, people are having less kids and no single country has been able to improve that. So thereโs something going on and we donโt know what it is.
It's not a mystery. People can barely afford themselves and kids are expensive as fuck and interfere with having a successful career(especially for women) so they're having less of them.
Did you never learn to read those labels? Add those numbers up real quick. It's way more than 100%
That's your daily nutrition per serving. So a serving of cereal contains 1/4 of the total sugar you should consume in a day.
That sounds suspiciously like theyโre avoiding calling it โan act of terrorismโโฆ which is even more suspicious being that lighting a Tesla on fire or spray painting a Tesla dealership would immediately be called terrorism, but this hasnโt been. Hmmm.
Edit: the FBI has determined that it was an intentional act of terrorism at this point.

@Nicro Not exactly, I still need MicroG for some stuff. Was talking about /e/OS.
Since OnePlus also made it impossible to re-lock the bootloader on this device (which can't be worked around, other than the unlock issue I currently have) it won't be a truly secure device anyway (I don't have that high of a threat model anyway). There is no security-focused OS available for it anymore.
Used to have Oneplus phones, but ever since they basically restrict camera functionality when using a custom ROMs (at least with the Oneplus Nord), I've had enough.
