Compared to other national and international chains, I’ll pick Dominos. Here in Vancouver there are just so many local pizza shops and smaller chains to choose from, even the cheaper/quantity over quality chains taste better than both Pizza Hut and Domino’s (I’m thinking Freshslice for the Western Canadians in the room). Even corporate pizza events here don’t go with Domino’s, which was the go to when I was elsewhere.

If someone came unannounced to my home identifying themselves as the Head of Human Resources, checking in on my sick leave… I’d probably sneeze or have a giant coughing fit right in their face.

“If there’s anything you need” – bud, I need to be left alone to recover.

Updates uninstalled, all available permissions turned off, auto-update turned off for Galaxy Store. That app has done nothing but get in my way. Thanks for the reminder, Samsung.

Backed by arms shipments from the US and their own production, I’m confident that Israel has the capability of achieving some of their military goals.

However, the world’s trust that the Israel government and military command has lost for their people will be much harder to recover. Unless there’s eventually a trial on the scale of Nuremberg charging Netanyahu, the ruling party, responsible government officials, domestic and foreign military contractors, settlers and soldiers for crimes against humanity, I cannot trust that Israel means peace when it speaks it, or that any goods and services coming from Israel aren’t rigged with bombs and malware.

I have nothing against Jewish people, but the atrocities committed by the Israeli government tarnish the reputation of Isreal’s people and businesses. And as a Canadian, I bear some responsibility for not pressuring my government strongly enough to condemn the terrible conduct over the past year either.

Well, as you may be aware, banks like getting money.

Taking money from their customers through banking fees and interest on both deposits and loans isn’t enough for the banks and credit card issuers. So they sell credit card and loan usage information to whoever will pay for it, and these credit monitoring companies will, to keep a file on you (tied to your SSN/SIN). They know how many loan accounts and how long you’ve had them for, how often you pay your loan bill on time vs. not, what % of your credit limit you tend to use each month, and when you go shopping for new loans (since loan agencies will request your file from them to determine whether you are trustworthy enough).

Ah of course. Americans tie so much success and personal welfare to employment, that’s the problem! An UBI would help everyone succeed then we wouldn’t be too worried about immigrants /s.

Adding to my own comment:

Shoutout to all of you Lemmings and Fedizens for participating in this platform, and staying in our communities despite many features still early in development compared to established platforms. Thank you for that.

These funding milestones sound great! Very excited on future improvements.

Dessalines and Nutomic have done great jobs along with the rest of the Lemmy contributors. Adding Phiresky and Sunaurus to the development team is also very positive and I appreciate the diversification of origin instance in the team. This will be useful in the rare but totally understandable event that a part of the team may need to break for a while.

Multi-communities and post tags would be an absolute game changer if implemented.

That’s an interesting view for sure. Thanks for sharing.

to signal boost to the west.

Yes it does that too.

From my understanding the losses occurred mainly from miscommunications between one group sent in to relieve another, or drone and air units with jammer units and that kind of thing. Macroscopic strategy decisions such as the Kursk incursion are not related to that. Clearly it was planned well as intelligence kept it under wraps until its execution. The execution of the defense was poorer on the eastern front such as intergroup communication problems, inadequately prepared defense lines and so on.

The Pokrovsk direction is a real threat for Ukraine, agreed, and also is a gambit wirh inherent risk, agreed. In your view, how much more likely would Ukraine be to fend off the Russian assault on that front had they not?

The diversion is more significant than the article makes it out to be.

On face value, Kursk region isn’t that important to Moscow and they’ve got the strategic points like the nuclear plant on lock. However it’s hard to deny the value of the morale boost that Ukraine desperately needed, even as it has risks as with anything.

The choice for Ukraine is to keep on the defensive, slowly losing its ground, or the same thing happens but Putin is humiliated on the world stage by Ukraine, taking Russian military high command by surprise whether it forces their hand or not.

The Kursk incursion does not change losses caused by poor military coordination present from Ukrainian and Russian command structures.

“Yeah, here, check my /dev/null real quick”

Congratulations! 1 more country to beat the threshold requirement (after the Netherlands whose threshold seems will be crossed imminently). France and Ireland seem like solid contenders.

This is what mods are meant for… to bring a beautiful setting and game engine to its limits beyond what story and gameplay could be crammed in at release.

If the UI always looks like that you’d huffed too much Compiz.

Pactl commands will do what I think you want, I keep forgetting the exact syntax. Once you find something that works, you can bind those commands to some key combos to easily switch

This is exactly why even a slim majority like in Minnesota let a government do so many things that actually benefit people… at this point only one party is interesting in governing.
