I've had Google Maps added as a search option for years. Because I use Qwant for search, and the maps functionality in Qwant sucks.

Yes, it seems impossible to try to guess what he will do? But even without US aid, Ukraine will still receive much aid from other countries, and Ukraine's economy is doing much much better than Russia. 15 days to go before Trump is inaugurated.

If I had to make a guess, it seems like Putin isn't willing to negotiate, and it might be Trump's best bet to continue or even increase aid to Ukraine to save face, when it turns out peace negotiations are going nowhere.

But that's probably just me trying to rationalize what I hope for.

I certainly hope so too, if he does however, sanctions from the EU and many countries will remain in force. And Trump will create a diplomatic nightmare towards essentially all countries that are traditionally friendly or even allies of USA.

War is hell on both sides. The difference is Ukraine is fighting to survive, Russia is fighting for a pipe dream.

russian losses, economy, production cannot go on more than some 3-6-12 months

Absolutely, Russia is already slowly collapsing, and it will get a lot worse in 2025. I'm guessing around summer or autumn so many things in Russia will disintegrate that they can't continue effectively anymore. Real estate market can collapse at any time, collapsing the financial market, but the financial markets are already so hard stressed it's basically the same as if it was collapsing. In practice neither people or businesses can borrow money.
bankruptcies are already high despite a heated economy, and this will only get worse as inflation rises. Russia is beginning to price regulate to keep inflation in check, but that will only lead to shortages and more bankruptcies.

There is no way Russia can continue this war and get its economy together. The cracks are showing everywhere now. Air traffic is having safety regulations lifted to keep flying, and just the other day, 2 passenger planes had to emergency land, because of engine failure.

Russia is out of options and out of reserves, from this point the decline will only accelerate.

Newer phones generally charge faster, I agree if it's just a 30W charger most have that already, but my "new" phone charge with 120W, and for some phones the high Watt charging only works with the brands own chargers.

Russian forces do not have the potential to capture the cities of Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Dnipro or Kharkiv, but they could take advantage of the chaos in the management of Ukrainian troops and achieve some local victories.

This is in line with what most sources agree on. And although these losses may sound like a lot, it's not much more than the area of Luxembourg, when Ukrainian gains in Kursk Oblast are counted too.
This is a war of attrition, meaning Ukraine is giving up land, so they can draw back and spare their soldiers, while taking down a higher ratio of advancing Russian soldiers.
These advances by Russia come at extreme cost, and the idea is that Russia will not be able to sustain such losses.

Yes it is shadercache as you wrote.
But just to prove I'm not totally crazy, I included an image showing it only says "Updating" above the progress bar. Which is why I thought it was the game that was updating.
But hovering the (i) it says "shader pre-caching update."
Then there's the question why it needs to update shader cache nearly every time I've played the game?

If you are rich, you have other people doing the pedaling.

None of that ever happened

It was so fucking obvious, how he was paid by companies to do some arbitrary shit, and later there would be a stellar review of their products.
You had to be blind to not see it. It was hidden advertising, and it's even illegal! But I think he changed his approach to make it BARELY legal now.

He has since apologized, made the victim whole (or as whole as can be)

Yeah after it became a scandal that hurt his business and reputation.

Thanks, I'll definitely check for that next time.

Funny, it always ran fine here? I just used the Proton version to get shift keys.
If it wasn't for the Proton stuttering I would have stayed on that, IDK what causes this, but it's not just Borderlands 2, I think it's a problem in Steam, maybe because of my about 12 year old backed up steam folder that has somehow folded to old age? I'm planning on installing a new system soon, and when I do, I'll only be copying over saved games data, and reinstall everything.
