How will people react in rich countries if the price of food doubles, how will people react in poor countries if the stores run out

Do like I did with pens, buy a bunch and just spread them around

When it comes to the Iran war and the Hormuz strait, everybody talks about oil and gas. I don't think enough people talk about artificial fertilizer feeding ~50% of the world and 20-30% of it being blocked at Hormuz. Urea futures have doubled since december.

Sweden blames Russian hackers for attempting 'destructive' cyberattack on thermal plant | TechCrunch Sweden's minister for civil defense said Russian hackers are "now attempting destructive cyber attacks against organizations in Europe."

Assuming an Apollo-like architecture there are thrusters on the capsule and you use roll to move the CoM relative to the CoP and get pitch/yaw from that

We got the chance of a lifetime yesterday - thank you to Star Wars for having us and we can’t wait to share more soon!

BlueSky, help me out - a few decades ago, I was a blogger. I plan to start anew, but I need a platform, and I'm much too lazy to write it from scratch.

I despise Wordpress.

Docker is a no-go

i want absolute template control. I want Movable Type without server-side components.

Must be FOSS.

+ many of those mods went on to become games on their own, or games were released that were in effect total-conversion mods (ex Star Wars Battlegrounds)

As a norwegian: Imagine your foreign minister is asked on national news whether he thinks the leader of a particular allied country and world leader is sane, and when he says (in diplomatic language) no ... the news just go on as if he didn't just say that

My loudest cheer of the night last night was when the toilet worked.
