Nukes. That's the only reason Russia is still even on the map.

They don't seem to be getting destroyed, though...

They are supposed to pay it out to families of the soldiers. But they skirt around that by simply not retrieving their dead and wounded from the battlegrounds, and marking the soldiers as unknown/missing, thus deferring the payments indefinitely.

There have been multiple reports of wives/widows trying to find out what happened to their husbands, or at least to collect the money, with the military admin stonewalling them.

I think they chose to focus more on the human warmth and positive vibes, and, dare I say, normalcy, to contrast with Trump's themes of hate and inhumanity that his campaign even seems to be ratcheting up in these final days.

He smirked at the compliment. “What’s discipline got to do with winning?”

That right there tells me all I ever want to know about Trump and how he sees competition.

Not an American, so I do not feel called out, nor do I care about downvotes from idiots who think Lemmy threads are here to be won or lost by getting or giving out good and bad points. :)

EDIT: By "idiots", I didn't necessarily mean you. Only after posting this comment I realized that it could be understood that way. Sorry.

Thanks, now that makes things clearer - on Wikipedia, I noticed this "if resident of a US state" exception for voting, but I automatically dismissed it as unimportant, thinking "eh, that has to be a very small fraction of Puerto Ricans".

Thanks everyone for the informative responses - as a non-US person, I wasn't aware of the intricacies of Puerto Rico's unusual voting situation. 👍

Wait, I thought Puerto Rico residents cannot vote in the presidential elections. Even Wikipedia seems to think so.

That's an odd way to misspell "young incels"...

Could we actually get both of those rich assholes into an arena and let them fight it out?

Wood Farm? (self.corekeeper)

Hi, I'm thinking of setting up an automated way to harvest the wood that grows out of a planted root seed.

I'm thinking having four auto-drillers pointed at the four sides of a planted root seed, so that anytime it grows, the wood will automatically be cut away.

But maybe there is a more effective way? I am not sure how exactly the wood growth works. Maybe you get more wood faster if you let the seed grow out a bit - perhaps every wood "tile" has a separate chance to push a new growth onto a random neighboring free tile?

 

Hi, I was looking at FrancisJohn's video on geothermal power (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyoLDP2tUaI), and tried the trick for building a "spike" deep down into lava (shown off at around 4:30 mark in the video).

However, my dupes do not seem able to build through the closed horizontal airlock. Has this trick been patched out?
