I sure hope we don't do anything stupid over the Panama Canal.
Carter already did something stupid over the panama canal - this would be just correcting his mistake.

I noticed in the last couple of years both the erasure of Urkels and the erasure of classically beautiful black women from the media (not sure about that, but I definitely feel that there are less beautiful black women overall in media even if the total number increases). I guess they were honorary whites in a way, so it didn't fit the narrative.
Don't know about the real world - but I think that it is just that the culture war destroyed even the smallest enclaves in which the nerdy boys could flourish.

Hamas' military strength is mostly broken, an Israeli soldier would be unlikely to die over there. But then, I'm neither an Israeli nor a soldier.
There are enough handgrenades left and little kids to carry them to the soldiers.

Any reason why we don't use laughing gas for executions? All you need it hermetically sealed chamber, throw the convicted inside, throw couple of whipping cream cannisters - like two or three gallons. Open them remotely. And it is anesthetic. Easy to procure and cheap.

An adversary that doesn't learn from their mistakes is a godsend.

Nope. He is fucking lucky. By 2028 will be forgotten. It can't be used in the primaries against him because the woke mismangement of California is something all of his adversaries will also be guilty of in their responsive states/institutions.
The only way is for Democrats to have rising star hell bent on draining the woke swamp. Possible but not terribly probable.
And in general election it won't matter. Democrats ran a zombie and then a brat in 2024 and you could see how they rewired their brains in real time to be sincerely convinced it is the greatest thing ever.

Their GPUs are qualitatively inferior
The speed with which China moves from qualitatively inferior to on par is amazing. Up to the point that when it comes to small electronics (scales, chargers etc) even the most chinesium ones work quite acceptable.
The chineese phone flagships are quite good recently.

They had quite a surge in volunteers in 2022. But when the war turned into meatgrinder, it is only sane to not go to the front. Taking a serious risk for my country is one thing, going to sure death with no chance of victory is different.

by which Ukraine surrendered all of its nuclear weapons.
Ukraine never had any nuclear weapons. They were all Moscow ones. It's like saying that Turkey will surrender its nuclear arsenal if/when the US brings them back home from Incirlik

So - looking at The Palisades Fire - everything that is made of concrete/brick or stone is standing, everything else is gone. Is there any amount of fire damage that will convince the US residential construction companies to finish reading The Three Little Piggies book, when they have obviously stopped at the house of the second piggy?

This is my prediction for how the war ends: Trump threatens Zelenskyy, Zelenskyy eventually gives in and negotiates, Russia gets some of the land, and Ukraine gets security guarantees backed by the US. The devil will be in the details, of course
Ukraine has security guarantees backed by the US right now. If the US is not willing to bleed for a healthy country with strong patriotic movement in 2022 whose security they have guaranteed in the 90s, chances that they will be willing for battered, divided, torn, lost half of the population and probably even bigger chunk of people with ability and fight in them, and in need of reconstruction are close to nil.
The historic norm so far is that when the US abandons artificially propped up ally - the other sides takes 100%.
Any deal that Putin will be willing to accept (while he is winning) will leave Ukraine completely demilitarized as a buffer between Russia and Poland. Which is non starter for Ukraine.

Whcih is absolutely irrelevant if you know a part that you have mixed with. The salt doesn't make brute forcing harder. It makes hash lookup harder. Completely different approaches.

- The encryption keys that are used to decrypt user data are mixed with the signature of the OS that's booted
It is really great that apple don't have the hashes of their own OS-es right. You can totally boot custom kernel, and then just fake whatever signature you need to blast with the pin to the secure enclave. Or unmix whatever mixing you do with the pin. Device ID, os hash, number of luxes hitting the phone in the factory - apple already have this.

that is not how you do it. No backdoor is needed. You create a legitimate update for the phone and sign it with the boot loader key and also probably update the secure enclave to allow unlimited tries. Once you have that - the rest is just bruteforcing the pin to get the part of the composite key (if the master key really is composite, it may be just stored in the SE, no one really knows)

I am fairly sure that the heavy hitters in the US intelligence community have a way to compel apple to extract data from a device they physically possess. I doubt that they have officially sanctioned zero day backdoor though.
But this is the world consumer wanted. They wanted always online devices, they wanted walled gardens.
Is he not behaving like a beggar?
He is behaving like a member of /r/ChoosingBeggars . He speaks like he is entitled to EU and US weapons for free, to EU and US boots on the ground, like he is entitled to use them how he sees fit, he is entitled to security guarantees and membership in EU and NATO.
He dares to makes demands, to criticize us ...
Zelensky is just prettier Greta Turnberg while in drag (check his old videos), but with the same abrasive attitude towards the world

And if Putin gave them up the war would end as well. Why is the onus only on Zelensky here?
Because he demands the west to spend money on him.

And his attitude towards his benefactors (and since my country is one of those, means I unwillingly support him) is the reason I hate him. And his way of talking do rub a nice chunk of Europeans the wrong way. I am also annoyed that no one has bitchslapped him already to show him his proper station.

I really hate Zelensky's attitude that the world owes him or Ukraine and makes demands. Dude is a fucking beggar. He should behave like one.

Condolences. Yes you are overthinking it. When my mother died, I was in such a shock that I was actually trying to tell jokes and cheer my friends that were grieving for her at the funeral. My grief came in full force probably two weeks after the funeral, but I was incapacitated for a couple of days. It is pretty individual.

urea-based ones that you can still get (which happen not to be good for bombs) -
False. Trust me on that. Making something with TNT strength from them is pretty straightforward. As in kids in highschool having 9th grade chemistry in Eastern Europe easy.

Suddenly my twitter is flooded with pro russia, or at least anti Ukraine accounts. And they seem to be a couple of notches above the usual cringe. Where before it was non stop flood of Ukraine heroism and videos of Russians being killed, now is the opposite. Vibe shift? Algorithm? Deeper Russian pockets? I have not used or interacted at all with those kinds of accounts, for the algorithm suddenly to decide to put me in the other bucket.
He also pardoned his extended family. And I thin it is once again after 2014. I mean why not since 2000. What is so specific in that year that the whole family was involved.
