Here’s the actual Finland-russia fence.

Which honestly isn’t all that much more impressive when you realize why it looks so strangely familiar.

Interestingly, they still followed the law that requires you to show the lowest price in 30 days which was the same as the sale price. Their argument is that the law doesn’t say that they can’t base the discount on some other, higher price.

Which does kinda have a point - if you had to base it on that price, if you have e.g a summer sale that lasts two months, after 30 days that sale price is now the lowest price and the sale would “disappear”, even if for the other 10 months you’d be selling it for a higher price.
So what’s the situation if you have a one week sale, one week normal price, then another sale - 30 day lowest price is the same, but the discount is valid too?

Yes, but:

“Scholars say the biggest reason for Japan’s very high conviction rate is the country’s low prosecution rate and the way Japan calculates its conviction rate is different from other countries.According to them, Japanese prosecutors only pursue cases that are likely to result in convictions, and not many others.
According to Professor Ryo Ogiso of Chuo University, prosecutors defer prosecution in 60% of the cases they receive, and conclude the remaining 30% or so of cases in summary trials. This summary trial is a trial procedure in which cases involving a fine of 1,000,000 yen or less are examined on the basis of documents submitted by the public prosecutor without a formal trial if there is no objection from the suspect.
Only about 8% of cases are actually prosecuted, and this low prosecution rate is the reason for Japan’s high conviction rate.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criminal_justice_system_of_Japan

Remember the Beirut explosion?
Now realize that it was caused by around 1/10th as much ammonium nitrate that is on this ship (2750 vs 20000 tonnes)

That’s rough. I mean, rof.

Kill, injure and seriously disrupt the communication of Hezbollah, no matter the consequences or civilian casualties. At least this time there was a tiny bit of military assassination type logic to it, and they weren’t just blatantly shooting civilians and bombing hospitals as they usually do, but they just had to trigger it during rush hour because of course they did.

That’s the fine.
The original issue was not taking down illegal content in X even though there was a court order and a fine to do so, and withdrawing their legal representation from the country when they were expected to legally represent the company (i.e take responsibility for X breaking the law). Brazil requires companies to have that in order to operate, so X got blocked, and now the fine has been taken for their assets.

So does PLA, both materials are amorphous polymers so they are never “truly” solid unless they are frozen - nor are they really ever molten either. That is why screws and bolts etc always seem to “work” loose on 3d printer parts - they don’t, the material just flows away from them.
It’s just that at the glass transition temperature is when they go from slowly getting softer the hotter they get to suddenly completely rubbery and floppy.

PETG will not, the glass transition temperature is 80-85C. For PLA it’s 55-60C, so those will go floppy if you go at full tilt, though you should dry PLA at 40-50c-ish.

I mean, yes, when you are the legal representative for a company, that is what might happen when the company breaks the local laws and refuses to comply with court orders. That’s kinda the whole point.

It is when the law says that for a company to operate in Brazil it has to have an appointed legal representative, and you close down your offices and refuse to re-appoint one when the judge demands you to.
Musk entered a “No pants no service” restaurant, took his pants off, was told to put them back on and refused, and is now surprised he gets no service.

Different systems, the length doesn’t tell the whole story.

André Klip, a professor of criminal law, criminal procedure and the transnational aspects of criminal law at Maastricht University, said he wasn’t surprised by Thursday’s outcome and that Coban would likely spend more time in prison in the Netherlands than if he served his time in Canada.

“Dutch law is very predictable in terms of when a person can be released after being sentenced,” he said. “It’s very likely that … he would have been out far more early [in Canada].” -CBC

The weekly releases are looking rather promising on the UI polish, Maker’s Muse did a video on it recently. There’s also Ondsel which has an even more polished UI.

And they are getting closer to the 1.0 release as well:

Issue stats: overall, there are 1852 open issues in the tracker, down by 14 from last week. 26 of them are v1.0 release blockers, down by 14 from last week as well.

You can be an American with Russian ancestry, and you can even apply and get US citizenship as a Russian citizen, but Russia doesn’t legally recognise US dual citizenships at all. In fact, they only recognise it with two countries, Turkmenistan and Tajikistan.
And if an American wanted to get a Russian citizenship, they would be required to renounce their American citizenship first - at least that was the case for a long time, I remember reading there being some work removing that requirement.
But you would still be seen only as Russian when in Russia.

It seems that if Ukraine had told their Western counterparts what they were planning beforehand, they’d be dissuaded.

“It’s easier to ask forgiveness than it is to get permission.”

On a technicality, as in the end he wasn’t convicted of that under Dutch law because rape (back then) required violence. Any newspaper directly calling him a child rapist opens themselves up to a possible lawsuit.

The sentence was adjusted in line with Dutch law, and the charge of rape was substituted for one referring to ontucht (“sexual acts that violate social-ethical norms”).[21][22] After serving 13 months of his original four year sentence, he was released from prison.[17] Until 1 July 2024, Dutch law only recognised rape if force was involved.[23]

I remember being jealous of a classmate of mine in the early 00’s that got the new book as a gift every year as they always had these really flashy covers with sparkly holograms and stuff.

It is still in early access and optimising the game is their current goal according to the road map, though as the whole concept of the game is about simulating every NPC properly at all times it’s always going to be really heavy game to run.
And you are right about accessibility making resource hungry games more common - they allow indies to make projects and use concepts that would have been scrapped as technically non-viable by a publisher before. Shadows of Doubt started development back in 2015, which would have meant reducing the scope of the game until it ran on a PS4. Being indie, they could just do whatever instead, and now it’s going to be enough if they can make it run acceptably on a PS5.

If they were evenly distributed.
Huge chunk of the soldiers are men from remote villages lured with a huge payout in comparison to local wages, and who lack the information to figure out the truth about the real casualties as they aren’t spoken about in the Russian media.

No need, they are already part of the Czech Republic, there was even a totally 100% legit referendum about it back in 2022 :P
