General Discussion / Re: Russian intervention in Ukraine

I do not. I don't even vote. Should I hang myself now? It's a different mentality, I just live. There are people who want fight corruption and they do. Why you are so determined that society must be politicaly active? Is it some requirement to be a human being or something?
It's... kind of a requirement for a functioning society, yes. The more people that are aware of and active in regards to what their country is doing, generally the less likely said country is going to go off the metaphorical rails. If you do not invest yourself in your country, you lose it, one way or another.

Bit back in the discussion, but is it wrong to be somewhat confused by how different a message this post and and this one gives? Gogis says no decline, ivze says steady, nearly omnipresent erosion. From same nation, even, but very different views.

I'm kinda sad about the way the Ukrainian government seems to have been totally sidelined in the recent stuff. You only hear about the EU, US and Russia hashing it out, like we're at the congress of Vienna again.
What can the Ukrainian government actually do at this point?

Opera can, too, though that sort of thing is one of the first things I disable. Having the computer remember the password... kinda' defeats the purpose, doesn't it?

But they are nothing compared to the pure delicious of lemon-like-gel-substance-filled donuts. Mmmmm....
The best thing I've ever done to a donut was cut a plain glazed one in half (long ways, basically like a bagel.), and then stick each half on top of a slice of pizza and microwave it a few seconds. Donut pizza was glorious. One of these days I'm going to sugar glaze me a pizza.

I do generally prefer non-filled ones, though. Filled ones... it's hard to get one that's, like, well balanced. Most of stuff's centralized in the center of the donut, rather than spread out more equally, which I kinda'... well, dislike isn't the right word, because I will still sit down and eat like a dozen+ if I let myself, but like less. Delicious filling should be spread to all parts of the joynut, so that each bite is one of equal sugary splendor.

Which does remind me I've never actually used a donut like a bagel before. Gonna' have to get my hands on an oversized donut and make a sammich out of it. I... I also have never toasted a donut, now that I think about it. My culinary future suddenly has goals.

As kaij notes. There's plenty of different sorts of donuts that lack holes. The world of donuts is wide and wonderful.

Well if we could stick to the fundamental idea that overhand means more power and underhand means more control, then actually we could.
... does it, though? I'd expect something underhand, or more around the body's center of mass, to have the most power. A lot more striking power comes from body weight and whatnot than arm strength, last I checked, and I'd think an overhand grip would have a much harder time harnessing that that other options.

Nah, it's little things like that that make or break a lot of assignments, from what I've seen. It's not so much intelligence, per se, so much as attentiveness and -- to a fair degree -- familiarity with however whatever you're working with is normally structured. Not so much being smart or knowledgeable as being attentive and thinking in the right way for whatever you're working with. More mindset than intellectual capability, to say for a third time. Rule of three is important at a half hour 'till midnight.

Ehn, you can stick keys in your dimensional vault. S'about the simplest way to build up a stock or whatev', but there's not really any other way of getting them than drops. Think they can be sold, too, but if so it's not common.

Can, uh. Can you ask the teacher? I'd be guessing your function should just pick the larger of the two variables, as well, but I don't know programming from beans.

Despite them being more or less horrifying murderbeasts (though, to be fair, less so than cats, insofar as I'm aware), most cultures that I know of have a pretty good view on owls. People seem to like them for some reason or another. I guess it's the bone vomit? I'unno. They're pretty neat critters, anyway.

The hooting's definitely one of the better dinosaur noises we have nowadays, though. Certainly less annoying than woodpeckers.

Lasts as long on demon critter as anything else, ins'far as I'm aware. Confusion scrolls do horrible things to the poor bugger.

And yeah, if you've got the dakka and the saved up awakening charges, you can just flat 1-subjective-round the thing. Not even that hard with some of the more damaging builds (zenuuuurraaaaa).

But like half the times I've dropped it so far I didn't use awakening for the actual fight (mind you, those were also the punchy zenura ones which spew damage like they wrack up public indecency charges), so that's really up to you.

Perhaps (using the magic of WAG conjecture and lack of sleep), they intend the recession to provide labor for the pipelines? Seems to me major economic downturn is a fairly decent time for major government project. Plenty of cheap (desperate) domestic labor. Double-bonus if economic loss leads to crime uptake -- penal slavery possibly even cheaper! Nothing could go wrong, amiright?

Yeeaaahh, anthropology is basically what the philosophy majors spend their off time lamenting as a waste of academic hours. We love those folks for trying, but if there's anything that's more of an economic waste of a degree...

... google seems to be suggesting I am the only person to have invoked the word "cribblyhump", or a variation thereof, on the entire internet. That's my wtf of the day.

cribblyhumping.

Wat.
It's a word without much in the way of meaning.

A word I'm apparently the only person on the internet to have ever used, which is freaking mindboggling.

... also, apologies for contributing to the derail, sad thread. I'm operating on entirely too little sleep.
