@union Actually, that's one thing Zeihan was talking about even before the Ukraine invasion. The fact that Russia sent peacekeeping troops into Kazakhstan and basically rushed them right to the terrain gaps to block them off from invasion.
@union @benjaminhollon @mattdm Is it the chinese number combination for good luck? They pay a lot for license plates and things with more 8's on them. Or something related to back to the future?
@parker @Leaflord @Basedshibe https://mangadex.org/title/57dbd8a6-86c3-40af-bb28-9bfb931e7d0a/bocchi-jieikan-no-isekai-funsenki Bocchi Jieikan no Isekai Funsenki, the most patriotic of Japanese manga. It's not necessarily the best story, but it feels like a very good recruiting tool for the SDF at least.
@requiem That seems like a job for CollapseOS. Then it's relatively portable across several 8-bit chips.
@anime Yeah, I didn't find it that compelling after awhile. I still have it on my read list but it's definitely not one that I'll seek out actual books of, unlike Isekai Tensei Soudouki or So I'm A Spider, So what?
@coolboymew @anime @Mek101 Yeah, I've found several of those when random-walking the mangadex recent updates and randomly browsing webtoons. I try to read them but they usually just annoy me and get dropped.
https://mangadex.org/chapter/5d798d87-37a1-4376-a654-daa58284b13f/18 See, this is how you do it. you put the system in the ziploc bag, so you don't damage it... and so you die of just regular drowning from exhaustion instead.
https://mangadex.org/chapter/d16b7ff8-ca91-4fe5-bc2a-50c2c25ef228/3 Seems someone doesn't know the ziploc bag trick for kindles and such. Though, I have a hard time believing that the 3-7v batteries in tablets could do that.
@anime @coolboymew @Mek101 The most amusing otome villainess one I found that didn't have that in the title was https://mangadex.org/title/96471a2c-59f3-4a08-be7d-640bc0c022a4/may-i-ask-for-one-final-thing It totally goes in a different direction from all of the others.
@anime @coolboymew @Mek101 I should do the same, After you sent that akuyaku reijou tensei ojisan manga out, I started going out to similar titles and found quite a few that I enjoyed, but I haven't added every last one yet.
@ademalsasa I think Python, Java, and C++ have all been largely equally profitable for me. I have slid between them pretty much continuously since around 2003 in my professional career. I've only had to deal with PHP twice.
@jonathan @requiem Yeah, Spectrum here too, though I had to pay to upgrade my modem to the gigabit capable one in order to get the IPv6 support. You should do the https://ipv6.he.net/certification/ course to familiarize yourself with the network admin side of ipv6. It's free.
@requiem It's a whole lot worse when you modify something, and you don't know that you just broke 5 things on the other end of the program.
This one is talking about China, but it's really a warning for others.
@stuff Carls Jr and BK aren't owned by the same company, but both of them do that same sort of flame grilling on their burgers. I don't know about this particular franchisee, but usually the franchises have to buy the food from the parent company, rather than procuring it themselves. (Carls Jr parent company also owns Hardees, Red Burrito, and Green Burrito. BK's parent company owns Firehouse Subs, Tim Hortons, and Popeyes.)
