🇺🇦 Commander of Third Army Corps:

Ukraine gave away the third-largest nuclear arsenal for international guarantees. We gave up our missiles to Russia; they later flew on us again.

We must accept reality — the reality as it is. International law, unfortunately, does not function in this trench.

The disconnect between management and employee on AI usage is big. At the same time, CEOs are reporting they aren't seeing any revenue growth from AI.

Waste from U.S. mines could supply a large share of the critical minerals needed for clean tech, experts say.

Researchers are developing new techniques for retrieving these minerals, which could reduce the need for new mines and help clean up pollution at old mining sites.

Det er to muligheter hva gjelder norske politikere og mediefolk som har bagatellisert Trump, nominert ham til fredsprisen, prata om hvor kul han er, osv.

1. Spørre "hva mener du egentlig nå?"
2. Innse hva de er, slutte å spørre dem hva de mener.

Håper vi velger det siste.
