Russia’s military budget in 2019 was $65 billion. It’s a waste of money that’s only practical because the US is literally swimming in taxpayer money (mostly because the US doesn’t invest in itself, but that’s another issue).

Macron was right, but being right is extremely expensive. Meanwhile, the EU’s dependence on F-35s for defence isn’t too great given the well-known issues with F-35 maintenance and the need for US private contractors in the maintenance loop.
That’s literally the role of the government, though.
US politics is basically neither side compromising on the basis of ideology and saying it’s the other side’s fault.
That’s a far more condemnable position when you’re the actual government than when you’re the opposition.
Fuck off. Your inconvenience is not worth more than their livelihoods.
Counterexample: police unions
Think of all the profits you’re delivering to shareholders!
People have been far more concerned about the efficacy of the ALPS system at extracting other contaminants than they are about tritium contamination. The ALPS system is unproven and the wastewater they’re releasing would be pretty toxic as far as other radioactive isotopes is concerned if the ALPS system isn’t doing it’s job perfectly.
Isn’t it also an indication that the current government is unwilling to compromise? It’s not like the government not controlling the house is a new issue, but the lack of progress as a result of it seems to indicate that neither side is willing to make progress towards a shared middle ground.
All Ukraine said is that Russia deployed 15000 men to Bakhmut and that Ukraine fighting in Bakhmut keeps them from being redeployed to the Zaporizhzhia front… Sensationalist titles, much?
Winter tires, then a winter driving course, then AWD. In that order.
Right…
So supporters of the US must be tankies too, right? Or is it the “authoritarian” part you’re angry about and not the “imperialist wankers who think using force against the people is the solution” part?
How so? Tesla had no product, basically no employees, and no money. There are other things to hate on Musk for, but is there any indication that he wasn’t involved in the company like a cofounder would be?
Socialism worked in Russia: it dragged hundreds of millions of people out of subsistence farming and turned the USSR into an economic powerhouse. Of course, the collapse of the USSR showed the failings of an aggressively socialist state, but the funny thing is that China already has the solution: a market-based economy with strong state control. Putin doesn’t dare piss off the oligarchs though, so we’re stuck with this crony bullshit.
FWIW a lot of your problems with apartments were fixed in the Soviet Union lol
ITT: dude’s been living in $200/month flats and wonders why people living in $2000/month luxury apartments are enjoying it so much
You realize how much money is going towards EV subsidies? They’re extremely inefficient uses of money.
A53 is used for low-power and low-cost applications… It’s a “good enough” CPU that has really good performance/area.
Perfect performance counters for OoO is really hard.
OoO also makes BP more useful. An OoO processor without BP isn’t very useful because there aren’t that many instructions between branches… So, generally, modern OoO processors dedicate far more resources to BP.
The government is limited in monetary policy by inflation.
Of course, the Petrodollar doesn’t really have this problem, but it ends up exporting inflation around the world.
There’s no way the in order A53 from 2012 gets even close to the performance of the OoO A78 from 2020.
Wasn’t Russia expecting Ukraine to capitulate (basically, like what Armenia did against Azerbaijan)?
They only sent, what, 80000 troops on the initial drive to Kyiv?
