There's all sorts of good stuff in the application notes of IC catalogs. Some of it not even copyrighted.

Came across a Burr-Brown (!) catalog in the library at work about 15 years back. And I was thinking...why would our professionally staffed research library keep a vendor catalog from a defunct company? And then I opened it and saw a whole cook book for high frequency analog designs.

Have someone in Russia host your site. Or just use an app like RedNote which only has servers in China.

You won't be able to criticize those governments of course, but you can just do that on the US websites. No need to go all the way there to parrot the party line.

If the user can provide content, then it could be pirated content.

That doesn't work because most people don't have the money to pay them. The platforms would have to require you to have insurance to cover their potential loss. And since the payout could be tens or hundreds of millions of dollars, ordinary people will not be able to afford the insurance premium.

Bird strikes are a self-solving problem. Birds that learn to avoid turbine blades will survive and reproduce. Those that don't will not.

Ukraine is not a good example because Russia still recognizes Ukraine as a separate country. North / South Korea and Peoples / Republic of China are better, though in neither case did any government recognize their opponent as sovereign, so they're all technically still in states of civil war.

I'm working with a Gen Z employee. They're no different from me when I was new.

Then it decides to delete those tests to make it work.

Ahh.... not really. He crushed your assertions with a well-reasoned post about his personal situation. You didn't do anything to refute a single point. He mentioned having no place to charge, expensive EV motorcycles with shitty range, car dependency in a real area with fewer options, a desire for EVs they don't really make (reasonable priced coupe), and didn't even hit you with "99% of them have DRM'd batteries only the vendor can replace at HUGE cost to the owner", and the only thing you did was just put on your normal smug "Everything you said proves my point" nonsensical response. Hint: nothing he said proves anything you wanted proven. Not even close. It's clear environmentalism is a religion to you, not reality that has to be proved and debated to stand up to real world arguments and situations. It's no wonder that negatively impacts your ability to reason, think critically, or engage with uncomfortable facts.

So you bash the "culture war" but open up with partisan slander and worn-out culture war talking points? How extremely disingenuous.

You're doing exactly what the powerful want: fighting sideways instead of looking up. You intake so much media that they have you convinced it's "the other guys" that are "the problem". It's not. It's the powerful elite who control the media and use it to marionette people like you into wasting your energy so they can enjoy the status quo and gain even more power.

Less of a quagmire than Iraq and Afghanistan. Less cultural distance and lower language barrier. Still unlikely to succeed without broader consensus.

Of late I've become less of a fan than I was when I was kid scared shitless by 9/11 and the preceding/concurrent years of troubles in Israel.

I still don't like it when we loose. And I especially don't like it when the loss is traceable to half-assed execution, as for example George W dropping sandwiches instead of bombs in Afghanistan, to show how we're the good guys, you see. Stories of US forces being barred from pursuing enemy combatants in "sensitive" location also don't sit well with me for the simple reason that the supposed good will engendered among the locals in not desecrating sacred spaces did not appear to have materialized at all, while the exact location of our forces' soft underbelly was broadcast for all to see.

Unless you meant to say "without" I think you're about 80 years late to the party on Article I vs Article II.

Apparently I wrote one thing and you read another. Funny that. I guess that's what happens when dealing with satan-hitler...he takes many forms, especially the innocuous ones. That's why reading between the lines is the only kind of reading permissible during the permanent emergency.
