I believe part of joining NATO was settling those claims and giving up on retaking that territory by force.

Aka “Windows subsystem for Linux”

There is absolutely nothing wrong with NATO sharing a border with Russia. NATO is a defense pact. It won’t invade Russia to “stabilise” or for anything else. It’s all right there in the NATO charter.

In fact NATO has shared a border with the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad for decades. And there haven’t been any problems. More recently, NATO member Finland has a land border of many hundreds of kilometers with Russia’s mainland territory. That doesn’t seem to be hurting anyone or anything, except perhaps Mr. Putin’s ambitions to one day reconquer Finland.

Edit: I forgot the Baltics! How could I forget NATO members Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania (since 2004)?

Are “fat bikes” the over powered electric motorcycles? 'Cause we got problems with those in the United States, too.

Kill -9 is a command on Unix and Linux to send signal 9 (SIGKILL) to a process. That’s the version of kill that is the most reliable and has immediate effect.

Taskkill is a Windows command line program. I believe that taskkill /f uses the TerminateProcess() API. This is more forceful than the End Task button on the Task Manager. There is a different End Process button on the Task Manager that does use TerminateProcess().

TerminateProcess() is pretty reliable, but it doesn’t form part of the C signals stack on Windows like kill -9. So for instance, if you’re doing process control on Python, you need to use a special Windows-only API to access TerminateProcess().

Would a fork be technically viable if Americans and American businesses can’t participate (because the fork works with SDN entities)? Maybe.

The reality is that the Linux Foundation is in the United States, and Linus is a naturalized US citizen who lives in Oregon (at least on Wikipedia). So they both will have to pay attention to avoid transacting business with individuals and companies on the SDN list. That is the law in the United States.

You forgot the “… Or I’ll break your kneecaps.”

If you think you want to be more prepared for a nearer-peer conflict, you might want to get your B2 crews some real combat sorties. Kind of like a college football rent-a-win game before the conference season starts.

It’s a risk because the Spirits are basically capital ships of the air, but it may be a worthwhile trade-off.

NCD these days is a mixed hodgepodge of NATO propaganda, US defense industry propaganda, laughing at wacky military shenanigans around the world, and pornographic degeneracy involving military aircraft and other vehicles.

NCD started as a spin off from Credible Defense, which is a community where all articles have to be well sourced, arguments well reasoned, and citations are required. NCD has exactly none of those things.

I went on the Naples subway once, and they were running full size 2-deck commuter trains on the subway. It was way overkill.

Wait. Did you really mean “decreasing” rather than “desecrating”? Because that’s hilarious.

Australia and Canada, yes. India has a much more developed rail infrastructure.

The main driver for passenger rail success is population density–people per square mile or per square kilometer. The US, Canada, and Australia do not have enough population density in most areas to really support a passenger rail service.

There are parts or sections of the US that are starting to get the kind of density that supports trains, and trains do tend to appear when that happens.

Trump ordered the assassination of the top IRGC general when he was in office the last time. Biden has done nothing similar with Iran. To Iran, that’s a big difference in US foreign policy.

Most games I’ve seen, nobody ever horse trades for color groups.

Complex deals and negotiations, land swaps, leveraged buyouts, and free rent passes, are all supposed to be part of the game. Getting a color group solely by landing on the spaces first and buying them for list price is indeed rare, by design.

This leads to my other pet peeve… You’re not supposed to have enough money to go around the board the first time and buy every space you land on at the list price. You’re supposed to be forced to make strategic decisions from the beginning of the game about what you go for, and what you bid in the auctions.

Most of the made up “house rules” are really about circulating more money into the game than is supposed to be there.

You should also know that because of jail and various other teleports, the orange group is the most popular group on the board. It’s something like 1.8 times the average to land on those spaces, because two of them are 6 and 8 spaces from jail. Jail is a very popular space because Go To Jail also counts as Jail.

Boardwalk has very high rents, but it’s also pretty unpopular to land on.

The worst rent-to-popularity values are yellow and green.

So seems like Iran intends this to be a one and done response for everything Israel has done the last few months.

i.e. “Please don’t escalate this any further. We prefer this level of escalation and no more.”

It used to be that 640K oughta be enough for anyone.
