The fuck are you people doing?? Has everyone taken stupid pills? When there are perfectly good European alternatives, why would you tie yourself to a country that clearly has nobody else's interests in mind, and will quite probably collapse in a couple of years? This pandering is insane, and only weakens Europe's position. So so dumb.

No no, you said "too far away to resupply". I claim bullshit. I never suggested it was a good idea.

"The leader of that country had a run-in with the leader of our country, and therefore should resign"

In what world does this bullshit make sense? Get fucked moron, you realise he's not in some government department, right? He's the leader of ANOTHER COUNTRY

The fuck are you talking about?? The US managed to resupply in Iraq and Afghanistan for 20 years,and they're a LOT further away.

"Heated exchange".

What are they talking about?? An exchange requires at least two participants. Zelenskyy was trying to keep it cool while Trump and Vance (mainly Trump) just spoke over him. That wasn't a heated exchange, it was a fucking loser having a tantrum while others watched, not quite believing what they were seeing. Having Trump keep talking about Zelenskyy basically being responsible for his citizens dying and bullets flying etc made me sick. The absolute lack of compassion from this orange twerp is incredible. What a cunt.

I was questioning that too. I'm certain I've read allegations of wrongdoing, i.e. sex with a minor, attributed to Trump. Why are they saying otherwise? (no need to answer that, I think we know)

Oh holy shit what a take down. That ending was incredible. I'd be terrified of one day meeting Jon Stewart and accidentally voicing an opinion within earshot just in case he takes issue with it.

"Allowed"? In what sense? Are you seriously suggesting Trump or Musk are responsible for a Delta crash in Canada, and helicopter collision and a Southwest go around?

How do you use Dropbox business? (self.linux)

I am absolutely sick of Windoze and I'm trying out Linux Mint for my work computer. This has been a bit of a learning curve but I have almost everything working the way I want... but the sticking point is my company uses Dropbox for all file sharing and repository.

I first naively installed Dropbox from the Software Installer but that tried to sync the entire company (many TBs) to my computer. It seems there is no Smart Sync option.

Next I installed Rclone and logged in using that, but it seems to be completely command line based which is absolutely useless. There is no way I'm going to sit here typing out full directory paths and file names every time I need to access something (which is always). I then installed RcloneBrowser, and later the Rclone web GUI, however they BOTH skip the parent folder and put me directly one level down, which is also useless.

Ok I know what you're thinking. I need to create an alias, right? So I did, and my config file now has the lines

[DB]

type = alias

remote = Dropbox:/

but this makes no difference in the web GUI or RcloneBrowser! The frustrating thing is if I use the command line the results I get are:

rclone lsd Dropbox:/ parent directory. Good so far...

rclone lsd DB: parent directory! Yay! So why doesn't this work on either GUI???

If I can't get this to work then I will have to get rid of Linux unfortunately. I can see in many forums I am not the first to have massive issues with Dropbox, but it seems the alias approach works for everyone else. What am I doing wrong?

Can anyone explain the cost of Australia's C-130Js? (www.minister.defence.gov.au)

Apart from Australia getting completely ripped off, I am wondering if anyone had any insight into why they're paying almost $500 million for an aircraft that is worth about a fifth of that amount. This has got to be a continuation of the hilarious AUKUS joke that's been played on them, correct?
