is there something you don’t understand? it doesn’t fucking matter what russians claim to have tested, you as nato resident are protected by nato’s ability to evaporate moscow and moscow residents survival instinct, meaning that they won’t start shit if they want to remain not evaporated. it works in any number of ways between any number of nuclear states, and can’t be undone
nothing. safety of people in nato is guaranteed by a several of icbms somewhere in wyoming or in some submarine with putin’s name on them. self-preservation is a mighty powerful instinct, and it worked for entire cold war. will easily work for a couple of decades more
you know, in comparison dubya at least tried to have this kind of diplomatic subtlety that is nowhere to be found in current administration
behold: vibe driving (or maybe it’s just DUI for silicon)
random sample of 1000 people is a decent one, they even included error bars:
The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points at a 95 per cent confidence level.
These things are under high voltage, so no. And then there’s several kg of mercury inside
no, but they will also kill you (but not by magic)
really, happens to the best of us
the same way they did in 2021
I don’t want to be remembered at all. If I’m being remembered it means I’m dead.

ah yes chatbot seller says these things will become so capable, they’re gonna destroy the world, just you wait and see, but need trillion dollars in financing first. op have you eaten your daily recommended pebble today?
you don’t accidentally launch 13 (or so) drones from belarus going west
can these things be reflashed?
Manufacturers, knowingly or unknowingly, use commercial-grade PG when making cough syrups to cut costs.
i’d note that there’s zero technical reason why DEG would end up in PG. reaction of water with ethylene oxide gives you ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol and higher analogues and these are then separated by distillation. propylene glycol is made from propylene oxide instead, and it’s more expensive than ethylene oxide. diethylene glycol has little use on its own, at least compared to other glycols
however,
The physical properties of diethylene glycol make it an excellent counterfeit for pharmaceutical-grade glycerine (also called glycerol) or propylene glycol
this can be dealt with
After the Nazi invasion of Denmark this placed them in danger; it was illegal at the time to send gold out of Germany, and were it discovered that Laue and Franck had done so, they could have faced prosecution. To prevent this, de Hevesy concealed the medals by dissolving them in aqua regia and placing the resulting solution on a shelf in his laboratory at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen. After the war, he returned to find the solution undisturbed and precipitated the gold out of the acid.

Trains (electric) or pipelines generally won’t, but pipelines aren’t everywhere you need them and trains can’t be used for anything else in this case. Effect is the same: local shortages
so the way i understand it, at first refinery strikes had little impact because other refineries still had slack capacity. but even before that slack capacity was gone, it had a further effect that now fuel was not prepared in places it used to be, so it had to be hauled longer distances. meaning logistics is strained and some fuel is used to haul it, and also now fuel production is more concentrated
at some point that slack capacity was gone and fuel went from not where you need it to not existing at all. there already were shortages in some regions. that and still large demand for fuel for farming caused decrease in exports. there was a refinery that only produces products for export, and its output wouldn’t be directly usable as fuel (they only distilled crude into fractions, still high in sulfur etc) but it was also hit so exports from it don’t matter because these are none
at any rate these developments are on borrowed time because it only takes maybe half year to repair more advanced parts of refinery, so under certain droning intensity they can just roll on. everyone involved knows that, and looks like situation will get worse for russians
i mean it would be hard to imagine 20 years ago precise ways things could get worse, and then
