  1. ..did you think through your statement deeply before posting.. ?
  2. There are democracies and “democracies”. The DJT recently ordered the bombing of completely non-military locations, committing war crimes and murdering civilians who were not supposed to be targeted at all in Jemen. Just like his beloved colleague Volodya, and yet another mass murderer netanjahu. In these pseudo-democracies of modern times every leader wants to bomb and attack other countries according to his own vision, no matter that according to their constitution he has no authority to do so. After all, he doesn't “declare war,” he just bombs something there and someone there, and they watch it on the TV and it's okay. Like here: You have such the Volodie, a terrorist group leader, who has committed war crimes, and with him you talk on the phone, and make a deal. And if someone doesn't have the enough power, you don't talk to him, you just bomb him, entire village, entire city and entire country. It's just semantics. For them. They say "We do not negotiate with terrorist groups".. How is one terrorist group supposed to talk to another terrorist group? When was the last declaration of war sent before joining the hostilities? I guess it's high time to replace these pseudo political leaders from orbit simply by using lasers from the sky.. Let them hide in their burrows in the deepest places. And flying air planes is left for the birds. If I found out the president was flying on my plane, I think I'd be late for my flight on that plane. Especially if he is a criminal. War criminals should not go out in the open air. They should rot several kilometers underground. Where they belong. Where is their place.
  3. ..as long as they had time to sell their assets at the price top.. In principle, I disagree with you. Recession means that people stop buying, especially the things they sell are not necessary for ordinary people to survive - expensive hotels, unnecessary junk imported from china, luxury brands of the best “fashion dictators”, or the nth car, these are things that are not bought when there is a recession.. When there is a recession it is their businesses that suffer from lack of customers, lack of money, lack of liquidity, etc. Musk has a huge problem. Because of his gesture and/or participation in politics and/or his general mental breakdown, people stopped buying his car. https://time.com/7266929/heres-how-teslas-sales-have-been-hit-around-the-world/ "Looking at Germany, the largest market for EVs in the E.U., the country saw a 30% year-over-year rise in electric vehicle sales in February, but Tesla sales were down more than 70% compared to last year—less than 1,500 new Teslas were registered in the country in February. " Look at Madoff - his business was going well until the recession started.. everyone who had money with him demanded returns and the pyramid collapsed..
  4. Did you try OVHCloud VPS (virtual private server) ? 4 UKP per month.
  5. https://www.forbes.com/sites/antoniopequenoiv/2025/03/10/trumps-net-worth-slides-300-million-as-trump-media-shares-hit-5-month-low/ "President Donald Trump’s net worth fell nearly $300 million Monday, continuing a months-long slide as Trump Media & Technology Group shares tumbled over 11% and reached their lowest point since October." https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-media-truth-social-400-million-loss-sales-revenue-decline/ "Trump Media and Technology Group, the parent company of President Trump's social networking site Truth Social, said it lost $400.9 million last year, while its annual revenue declined 12% to $3.6 million." This company is a scam: "Citing its "early development stage," the parent company based in Sarasota, Florida, said it doesn't report "traditional key performance indicators" used by other social media companies, such as how many people have signed up for the service, use it on a daily or monthly basis or see its ads." Any company that broadcasts online ads for its clients must provide statistics on how many viewers have seen them. Without such basic instruments, it makes no sense for such an IT company to exist, and it makes no sense to publish ads on such a platform. How many people have seen an ad is the easiest thing you can do in a few minutes of programming, you just have to do a hit counter. Not authoritative, but better than nothing Better is a unique visitor counter. Post-factum, the number of hits/unique hits on the site can be obtained by analyzing the web server logs. If someone does not have a tool to analyze server logs, he may not even know that he has a hacker attack on servers. These are such basic things that even home sites from '90 had such information.. If I were a government employee fired by DT, I would be busy analyzing who is buying and selling shares of his companies. When you enter a cesspool, there is so much shit that you don't know what to choose from. Shifting shares from one basket to another, hoping that some suckers will join in and then be left with nothing on the price hill.
  6. Electrostatic acceleration of ions and electrons (i.e. charged particles) is used in quantum physics experiments https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrostatic_particle_accelerator In the case of macroscopic objects, such as spacecraft, there could be problems with penetration through the insulator barrier, which would lead to damage to the electronics in such vehicles. Not to mention the lethal levels of acceleration for humans.
  7. You don't want to have electrostatic charges anywhere close to the electronics as it can easily damage ICs, break through circuit boards, break through cables, etc. etc. Therefor all existence of antistatic insulators, antistatic devices. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antistatic_device
  8. Anything that is done at someone else's expense (i.e., taxpayers with fat wallets) is done with big price bumps over the retail price. Hence the existence of DOGE. Let me tell you an anecdote with my own participation. I saw that one government official, in fact on the salary from the university, the oldest in the country, soon to be 700 years old), uses a computer in which there is an HDD. A junk computer that cannot be upgraded, all-in-one with built-in monitor. So I suggested to him that he should go to the nearest computer store and spend the $15 on the smallest 120 GB SSD drive, which would help speed up the whole computer. Disk speed 10x faster. With a small (in fact, minimal) memory barely enough to boot the operating system, then the entire virtual memory would run 10x faster and the computer would gain a “second life”. $15 is not money. That much can be spent on one dinner in a not at all exquisite restaurant. To this he replied that he can't go out and buy anything for the computer, but has to put out a tender on the official website, and whoever gives the lowest price wins. I look at this government website, and there the prices are truly out of space, as if time had stopped 20 years earlier. Poor configurations for exorbitant prices. A price margin of 2, 5 or 10 times the retail price is not surprising in such contracts with the government. The suckers need to be cut thick. The entire government is acting on it. Nothing people do and they want money for it. That's why this DOGE sent emails to people supposedly working for the government to see if they exist and/or alive.. Ruskies are well-known in methods of stealing state money. The whole Olympiad in Sochi was just to steal. They built everything for much more than it was worth. https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/news-archive/2015/sochi-winter-olympics-cost-billions-more-than-estimated-1 Table comparing the difference in Olympic costs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost_of_the_Olympic_Games
  9. ..I would say sober up after Saturday's party..
  10. ..but you are unable to say one sensible sentence..
  11. Your words do not make any sense. I would expect something better even from ChatGPT.
  12. ..so, I am reading that you don't have any point.. Right. As usual.. Your words do not make any sense.
  13. ...I think you should knock yourself on the head. Romanticism and positivism are successive eras in literature.. at least in my country.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanticism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positivism
  14. The Italian version of Wikipedia says something about it: https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanticismo "The term “Romanticism” derives from the English romantic (from romance, translatable into Italian as “romanzesco,” in the sense of “not real”), which in the mid-18th century indicated those literary genres, such as chivalric novels, that depicted fantastic events within a more or less accurate historical setting. Alongside this early meaning there developed and eventually prevailed in the 18th century that of “picturesque,” referring not only to what was artistically depicted, but especially to the feeling aroused by it.[3 " (translated by AI) Romanticism = unrealistic, emotional, focusing on feelings Positivism = hard-headedness, logical drawing of conclusions, science, etc. etc. Romanticism and positivism were in different countries in different years. Where Romanticism ended in the West, it was just beginning in the East. In fact, this only applies to the “higher-ups.” Because most people in Europe, peasants, townsman, workers, were illiterates.

    Rights

    You have a property, and your neighbor has a property. Your neighbor decides to open a pig farm, a poultry farm or a hazardous waste landfill. Restaurant, steak house in a less extreme version. The stench from them will fly to you and make your life unbearable. Your real estate prices will drop. Do you have the right to own your property in a clean environment, or does your neighbor have the right to do what he wants with his land? Your neighbor created a steak house, and made your life miserable with barbecue smells all day and night. Should you make him a dumping ground, and flush out his customers? He will be just as unhappy as you were after making a barbecue 24/7 at his place.. The vast majority of economic initiatives can fall under this.
  16. "A popular theory holds that the Mafia began with the Sicilian Vespers and is an abbreviation for "Morte ai Francesi, Italia Anela!"[47] ("Italy desires the death of the French")." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_the_Sicilian_Vespers On Wikipedia it is mistranslated, as it should be “Death to the French, Italian breathe hard.” IOW, such a combat saying, to warm up the soldiers to fight. The origin of all ancient words is very difficult to determine. Unless you create an acronym for yourself. ps. Soldiers returning from the war, do not have a job, so they begin to commit crimes, and as they were already in one organized crime organization ("the army"), so the hierarchy and organization they have ready.. ps2. Did you try Wikipedia? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mafia#Etymology "maʿfī (معفي) = exempted. In Islamic law, jizya is the yearly tax imposed on non-Muslims residing in Muslim lands, and people who pay it are "exempted" from prosecution." "maʿāfir (معافر) = the name of an Arab tribe that ruled Palermo.[14][10] The local peasants imitated these Arabs and as a result the tribe's name entered the popular lexicon. The word Mafia was then used to refer to the defenders of Palermo during the Sicilian Vespers against rule of the Capetian House of Anjou on 30 March 1282.[15]"
  17. What did they eat during the trip and right after landing.. ? Two lions and two antelopes sit side by side. And lions waiting months for these antelopes to reproduce before they can be hunted.. Right. Every farmer, even an ancient one, knows that from one hen and one rooster a flock will not be made, because the young males and young females would have to have sex with their mother and father..
  18. In a thread similar to this one,~ ten years ago, I calculated that there is not enough ice/water in the entire Solar System to cover the entire Earth with Himalayas. Also water has to go somewhere after flooding. Did it disappear? The flood, however, is not a myth. It is a real event that took place, which has been embellished and fabricated by storytellers over millennia of passing these tales of the past on to each other For example, it was possible to go from Europe to Britain and Ireland barefoot. The water level was 120 meters lower than today. After the melting of the glaciers that covered the entire world, water flooded the coastal areas. If a similar event happened today and the water surface would rise another 120 meters Paris, Berlin and Warsaw would be under water. Do you know where Paris, Berlin and Warsaw are, right? Practically in the middle of the countries.. Hundreds of kilometers from the coastline..
  19. 12 UKP per month... I pay that much per entire year having 200-400 GB/mo of Internet transfer on LTE/5G with physical SIM. But I have to use clever-mode. A regular price here is ~ 5-6 UKP/mo with 200-400 GB limit (13 GB per a day). You can watch movies in Full HD all day long. If this is the price for VoIP alone, without the Internet, which you have to pay for yourself separately, then these prices in the UK are awful..
  20. Virtual telephone number (VoIP) or real mobile operator.. ? I have tested very many real operators (i.e. who give physical SIM) in my country, and such a question makes little sense - in different places (where even meters and altitude are important, not to mention tens of meters) there is different signal coverage. It depends on the location of the cell-tower antennas and the height above ground level of our apartment. You simply have to buy one SIM, another SIM, a third SIM, etc. and test the transfer speeds. And move around with a connected phone. Even the timing of doing speed tests matters. In the middle of the night, of course, you get the best Internet transfers. IOW, where one person has a good transfer with a particular operator, there another person has a poor transfer, and vice versa. I know someone who in one location (a complete shithole, flyover) had about 600-700 MB/s in 5G.. In the same location I had 50-60 MB/s on 4G/LTE. To test Internet speed we use https://www.speedtest.net Have you tried it? Run a test on your fiber Internet (if you have one) and on your cell phone (don't install their app, even if they ask! it's unnecessary) and take screen-shots. Walk around the city doing speed tests. You'll see how they change.
  21. @Genady It's hard to understand what you actually want from us. If you want to keep your current phone number that Skype assigned to you, then you should contact Skype Support/Microsoft Support and ask them if it will be possible to transfer the number to another carrier or not. Because if not, then you have no choice but to buy a new SIM, or a new eSIM, or buy some kind of virtual number. And then distribute to your contacts before Skype one shuts down. On Android phone with Termux you can do this with a script (if you have hundreds/thousands of numbers in your contact list).. Google "phone number transfer procedure united kingdom" https://www.google.com/search?q=phone+number+transfer+procedure+united+kingdom In different countries, the transfer procedure may vary. But since here we have US company vs UK country, it may not be possible at all.
  22. I get the Wikipedia article about the book. The author died in 1982, so there is no concern that it is our OP simply advertising his/her book. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophy:_Who_Needs_It There is only one wise philosophical phrase worth remembering: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_know_that_I_know_nothing
  23. The difference is 0.556 MeV/c2 = 556 keV/c2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beryllium-10 (on the right properties panel) (slightly more than one electron mass ) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopes_of_beryllium https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopes_of_boron 10.01353469 u - 10.012936862 u = 0.000597828 u * 931.494 MeV/u = 0.556 MeV The mass spectrometer does not distinguish by the difference in mass, but by the difference in mass-to-charge ratio. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass-to-charge_ratio "This differential equation is the classic equation of motion for charged particles. Together with the particle's initial conditions, it completely determines the particle's motion in space and time in terms of m/Q. Thus mass spectrometers could be thought of as "mass-to-charge spectrometers". When presenting data in a mass spectrum, it is common to use the dimensionless m/z, which denotes the dimensionless quantity formed by dividing the mass number of the ion by its charge number.[1]" 10.01353469 / 4 = 2.5 10.012936862 / 5 = 2 For this reason, a beam of fully ionized particles in a strong magnetic field deflects differently and hits the detector at a different location.
  24. A version of the secure channel via SSH (data transmission is encrypted): The second (rightmost) client is logged in via SSH and has direct access to the server's local port 2345. The first client is logged in via SSH, but has access via local machine port 1234 which only goes (forwarded) to the server via SSH (the -R parameter causes reverse port forwarding/reverse tunneling)
  25. ..but creating your own proxy server and establishing a connection from one client to the other client is easier than downloading and installing some 3rd party communication application... See: It took maybe 15 seconds to set everything up and running.. ps. On Kali Linux you don't need to install any application. On some Debian-based distributions (Ubuntu, Mint) you can do sudo apt install socat (it's a versatile general networking tool). ps2. It can be configured with the socat itself.
