Oh, look, the unhappiness could be solved by better pay and benefits

This also seems a convenient bit of propaganda, of course they would say that to scare the Russians.

If it's true, it's a really cool feat of engineering though! Can't wait for the fog of war to lift and see what cool civilian applications all this drone tech will have.

I have some better quality kitchen knives I like keeping sharp.

I use a two-sided whetstone 400/2000 grit for basic shaping (400 is akin to those rolling sharpeners, to be used only when you fucked up real bad), a leather strop with green sharpening paste (~6000-8000 grit) glued to a piece of wood, a plain leather strop, and a honing steel.

Green sharpening paste is most of what I ever use, a couple of strokes weekly (more realistically about 20 once a month), and maybe polish it up with the plain leather strop. Keeps the knives wicked sharp, and then I just hone them after each use.

Sometimes I do stupid things and get burrs in my edge (like cleaving frozen bone), that's where the 2000 grit saves me.

400 I guess is for when the apocalypse comes or your kids decided to practice chef's knife throwing into scrap metal. It's nice to know I can remake a whole edge, but rarely used.

UwUpeans, so great, and so horrid at the same time.

You sir/madam/gentlebeing, are a most delightfully twisted individual.

They're currently recruiting/pressganging as much, so they've clearly chosen war of attrition against Ukraine that just don't have the population to sustain it. I think the population ratio of Russia : Ukraine is about 10 : 1, and Russia keeps stealing people from allied countries as well.

Go picket, with enough people showing that justice matters, they'll have to find a less corrupt judge.

Tl;dr:

Bathtubs started small due to size constraints of rooms, but got smaller because it's cheaper to manufacture and handle smaller tubs.

How is it messy for the employer to keep wages at market prices?

You don't have to match anything or contend with mass quitting if you just pay the going rate to start with.

We're learning in real time that the ICC and UN are great tools, until they disagree with you, at which point they can be ignored and even threatened.

Sounds like great news, no?

Just as we had a time before fungus digesting plant matter, we've now had a time before fungus digesting plastics.

"Soon" we'll get bacteria and insects doing the same, and all our plastic buildings will need to be protected just as the wood ones.

For a week or so I haven't been able to download videos, neither gifs nor webp (haven't tested other formats yet).

Pressing the download button only grabs one still frame.

If I open it in browser I can download fine. This also worked a couple of weeks ago.

Edit: The video in this post of a cat exploring a tube gets saved like this first frame photo of the lighting through the tube.
