It’s time for THE charger.

Today, the USB-C becomes officially the common standard for charging new mobile electronic devices in the EU.

It means better-charging technology, reduced e-waste, and less fuss to find the chargers you need!

Three days after Russian air defenses shot down an Azerbaijani passenger plane, Russian propaganda channels release a video of Russian air defenses shooting down Santa Claus because “we don’t want anything foreign in our skies.” Cc: foreign airlines still flying to Russia.

This is silly. Musk does not want America to "collapse." We don't need rhetoric lifted from bad scifi if we want to fight him or Trump.

Be furious be angry but despondency is what they want from us. And be very suspicious of people on the left who say “we are cooked” or whatever. Imagine the civil rights movement, or suffrage, or any movement for change, hitting a roadblock and just “saying well we are well and truly fucked now.”

The art of the deal:

1. Make wild demands

2. Get nothing

3. Declare victory

What makes people think that a populist party, hollowed out of ideology and packed with Gasdan Flag worshipers and grifters, will be able to get anything done other than to blow existing institutions up?

❗However, RU does not have enough ballistic missiles to cause a complete blackout of UA’s electrical system. Such attacks might lead to temporary restrictions on electricity use, but the hits are not that massive, and UA is able to restore power supply.

The December 17th Maxar imagery shows that Russia has now removed its Monolit-B coastal sea-surface and air radar from its fixed location at Tartus where it was deployed for years.

A major asset for the base and another sign that Tartus will cease to operate in the near future.
