Printers should be renamed “Tree-taggers” or somethingsimilar. Give it a name that makes the concept sound as bad as the implementation.

Depends what they mean by “traditionally” and its iimplications. Did it use to be Hungarian? Sure, at some point it was. So if by “traditionally” they mean “formerly”, fine. It’d be an interesting move if neighboring countries (Ukraine) agreed to this, provided that Hungary at the same time relinquished any claim on the same territory, and Orban got his tongue out of Putins ass.

After all, there are many territories that is “traditionally” part of a different country. Karelia, Königsberg, Northern Ireland, Tibet, Hawaii, just to name a few. But the world has (mostly) moved on out of pragmatism.

Everything I wear is based around practicality which involves a lot carrying capacity. As someone who’s a lot on the move, this is my usual kit:

Jeans, right pocket: Snus
Jeans, left pocket: Bluetooth earbud charging box thingy Jeans, right back pocket: Boarding pass / ticket
Jeans, left back pocket: reserved for trash
Jacket, left front pocket: card holder, in which I also keep receipts
Jacket, left inner pocket: Phone
Jacket, front right pocket: varies. Usually a pack of chewing gum and a pen
Jacket, right inner pocket: Wallet with passport and misc other important stuff
Backpack: Two laptops, a change of clothing, USB battery bank, a bunch of adapters so I can plug in almost anywhere, phone stand, misc access cards, a plastic fork, and a toothbrush. Plenty of room to spare for things I add last minute or pick up along the way.

When I’m only moving locally, it’s the same except I don’t bring my backpack.

Oh, and up until a few hours ago I used to have my sunglasses hanging from a ring that is hanging Frodo-style around my neck. But I realized while I was boarding my plane on my way home that I’d left them in the airport lounge. No time to fetch them, but they weren’t particularly expensive.

I loved having a Note 2 ages ago. But since then, the styluses that are paired with phones seem so awfully plastic and cheap. I use a pretty standard phone nowadays, but I’m keeping my eyes open for a phone with a good high quality stylus that has its resting place in a niche in the phone itself. Any suggestions?

I’ve seen that video too. As far as I can remember, it doesn’t show any trains, power plants, refineries, chemical plants, or pumps, and that’s where the dieselpunk aestetic really kicks in.

Don’t forget Dieselpunk. That’s the aestetic that best describes the visual style of Factorio

Everything from 2300 to 0300

I still chuckle every time I see that posted unironically, as if it’s a nickname that’s going to stick.

A radio either turned to an AM station far away to the point where it’s mostly brown noise with hints of someone speaking, or to some calm music.

Nowadays it’s mostly KnowledgeFight.

Not sure when it started, plus my personal experience with JD stems from a tractor that was built in the 70’s. I think the model was 1033 or thereabouts.

At least it was (mostly) dealt with. Cars generally don’t need it anymore, and the few that do can reduce engine knock through additives. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a pump offering leaded fuel.

One big exception to all of this is small general aviation aircraft. They mostly run on AVGAS100LL, but it’s not because of the planes anymore. Just like cars, the few planes that need it can use additives. But regulation for fuel standards change slowly, and ICAO moves at the pace of glacial drift.

Ancient John Deere, while they were still good. I highly approve.

Bringing a modern day John Deer to the battle field would result in being stalled while waiting for a proprietary software update, which is suboptimal while under artillery fire.

Let’s just say that swans didn’t enjoy the human use for their necks.

IPv6 was introduced 26 years ago, so it will have to be longer than that

I’d be somewhat lenient when it comes to IPv6 if it used 64 bit addresses instead of 128bit. It would still not be needed thanks to NAT, CIDR and DHCP, but at least a 64bit address space is more manageable.

More popular than I anticipated, but at least somewhat controversial based on the vote ratio.

Did it once after some cats pissed on them, and they started smelling 1% worse than they did from my feet alone. They ended up bent and unusable.

Note: This was probably my own fault. It was before I learned how to properly use a washing machine, so it wouldn’t surprise me if I selected too high of a temperature. I also dumble dried them, and I have no idea if that was good for them either.

This is not an answer to your question, simply because I do not have one. I just want to recommend checking out the works of Vasilij Grossman. I’m not sure how much of a true communist he was at heart, if at all, but he has a few books on the war from the Russian perspective. Considering the state of censorship in that era in USSR, I would believe his works align fairly well with official communist standpoints.

He has one book about Stalingrad (For a Just Cause), but I think that’s fiction set in a historical context. Don’t quote me on that, though, I haven’t read it myself.

I’m not 100% sure about the English title of the book by him that I have read, but I think it was “A Writer at War”. He produced it a few years after the war, compiling his notes and experiences into a proper book. It’s a really interesting read, and I highly recommend it.
