I feel that if a person can't communicate, the very least he can do is to shut up.
That's just Musk trying to prove that he does read: the premise has been used in the SF literature in any possible way.
My favourite is Two-Handed Engine by Kuttner & Moore.

Not sure it's comparable. Of the Baltic three, Lithuania always had the lowest percentage of Russians (speakers/ethnic etc) which ironically resulted in both more relaxed attitude (e.g. no non-citizen status) and less interest in learning Russian.
Also easier to learn Russian if you speak Bulgarian.

From personal experience already in the late 90s younger people didn't learn much Russian. I'm guessing they just stopped it completely now.

Das Problem - gerade bei Azurit - könnte weniger das Vorkommen und mehr die Beständigkeit sein, was dann auch die geeignete Verwendung bestimmt, ganz unabhängig von der Farbe.
Lustigerweise gab es vor nicht sehr langen Zeit ein ähnliches Problem mit blauen LEDs.

Na ja, liegt sicherlich nicht zuletzt an der fehlenden STIKO-Empfehlung. Die CDC empfiehlt die Grippeimpfung dagegen für alle ab 6 Monaten. Das ist auch was der Kennedy jetzt kaputt machen wird.

I'm sure the Russian AD in Kaliningrad and Leningrad Oblast will start taking potshots at Baltic policing mission after such a shootdown. If we want that, better provoke them into shooting first.
Adequate response is not this, but providing Ukraine with means to destroy those aircraft on the ground.

It's not that Bella Ciao is not an anti-fascist song, it's that considering other stuff he quoted, it's more likely that he used it in much the same way that Patel used "see you in Valhalla" - as a meme entirely divorced from its roots.

What's really needed, is putting a C-UAS-capable RWS on every vehicle. And SPGs might have less weight constraints than many other vehicles, so it should be easier for those.

If you didn't like it as a teen, reading LotR as adult only makes sense if you like epic fantasy, or at least have an interest in it.
Try the Hobbit, or some of the Tolkien's fiction unrelated to Middle-Earth. "Farmer Giles of Ham" is one of my favourites.

Same case here, and tbh despite getting almost everything else from Ikea, didn't like any of their sofas, and their spring-less mattresses are no good.
Got this, with springs, and the conversion mechanism doesn't require dragging anything over the floor. Survived an occasional kid jumping on it too.

If it's going to be used as a bed more than just once in a while, strongly recommend going to Ikea and trying out the mattresses there.

Better approach might be to generate a dictionary from the whole OCRed text. With a word list it will be easier to spot OCR errors, and then you can transliterate the text back to proper English.

Hawkishness usually means consistently advocating for military solutions, and there's little consistency about Trump.
If anything, he views military means exactly the same as anything else: tariffs etc. He prefers to be the bully, but doesn't seem to have any preference as to the method of bullying.
