Fair’s fair when the other belligerent (s) are Christofacist pricks who actually did kill their supreme leader.

May both regimes fall.

… about the colour of someone’s skin?

cough FIFA Peace award cough.

He thinks the ‘A’ is for America.

Yes. Because people are not the only observers.

What qualify as observers though? Or, how far divorced from an event counts as unobserved?

If a tree falls in a forest and scares a rabbit which a dog barks at which I hear… is that chain of observation enough to grant existence to the tree?

The PM is the most prominent representative in the public eye. They are the figurehead of the government.

When the government is failing (by any definition) that figurehead is the one who ‘takes one for the team’. Occasionally another Minister might be the one to take the fall for a particularly egregious failure in their department.

The party in government nor the officials in the public service change. Just the figurehead… Do nothing actually changes, nothing is done to address the actual problems causing the government to ‘fail’.

This is more or less true in all Westminster style parliaments. In the US, for example, having the king president fire their Secretary of whatever department tends to be the M.O.

In short: Rearranging chairs on the Titanic.

That’s because China is at least consistent with their evil (and final warnings etc), the US is unreliable or capricious: that’s a bigger threat.

Their opinion of themselves exceeds their capability.

Spy vs Spy.

Just because some of the belligerents are allied doesn’t make them Allied.

Enemy of my enemy… etc.

ISP issues a prefix that I delegate.

Also delegate an ULA prefix, intended for stake local addresses but d actually just use ipv4 for those (also had difficulty getting ipv6 to work with microk8s and multus due to inexperience).

SLAAC.

“Ooh, look who’s fancy now?” – Atari and Commodore.

A laptop is just a PC crammed into a keyboard… with a monitor crammed on top.

That’s exactly how an LLM works.

Have they Weekend at Bernie’s’ed Trump?

Sigh.

If you are using a camera, what is doing the spotting (or more broadly observing)? You or the device?

Best case: gradually sinking into a city sized sink hole.

Worst case: “aaaaahhh” crunch.

Because it’s click bait sensationalism.

Emphasis mine;

The NASA estimates are based on measurements taken between October 2025 and January 2026 by a powerful satellite known as NISAR, which can track real-time changes on the Earth’s surface and is a joint initiative between NASA and the Indian Space Research Organization.

There’s an aquifer under the city that supplies the city’s water which they’re pumping dry.

The relentless pumping of groundwater and extensive urban development have severely depleted the underlying aquifer.

measured from satellites.

Overall that means a yearly subsidence rate of about 9.5 inches (24 centimeters). Over the course of less than a century, the drop has been more than 39 feet (12 meters), according to Cabral.

Holy shit.

Alien and Aliens. But only because Aliens was deliberately a different genre: so it’s a bit of a stretch.
