I believe NYT makes you login, even on a gift link. Here is a TLDR:

President Biden has authorized Ukraine to use U.S.-supplied long-range Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) to strike Russian and North Korean forces in Russia, a significant shift in U.S. policy. This decision comes in response to Russia’s introduction of North Korean troops into the conflict and their anticipated assault on Ukrainian forces in the Kursk region.

The move reflects growing concerns over Ukraine’s ability to withstand simultaneous assaults while defending territory. The authorization aims to bolster Ukraine’s defense, target high-value military assets, and deter North Korean involvement. However, it has sparked debate among U.S. officials over escalation risks, as Russia might retaliate against the U.S. or its allies.

President-elect Donald Trump, who has vowed to reduce U.S. support for Ukraine, is set to take office in two months, adding urgency to the decision. The Ukrainian strategy may include using captured Russian territory in Kursk as leverage in potential future negotiations. Meanwhile, the risk of Russian countermeasures remains a central concern for Biden’s administration and its allies.

My take: I’ve been waiting on this since the US election. It’s sound strategy of we believe Putin won’t want to escalate with NATO before Trump takes office.

It’s too complicated to say “a surplus”.

That dog doesn’t look trained at all. Like they just grabbed a random shepherd from the neighborhood to keep up appearances.

*sigh

But you did.

1. You quantified 150TB as a “fucktonne” of important data. I’m assuming metric fucktonne here.
2. You specified a lot in relation to a few tens of thousand (i.e. at least 30,000) times what you have on your PC
3. 1 fucktonne > a lot

150 TB / 30,000 = 5 GB

There is more involved in the formal proof, but I think that’s a good summary of the facts.

You only have 5 GB on your PC? How do you survive?

So people don’t punch it.

They don’t mean boomers, millennials, etc. When you consider games from Atari, to genesis, to 360, to what we have now with microtransactions and season passes after unloading $60+ for a premium game, there are clear “generational” divides.

This is such a problem we now have tab groups to fully organize our spontaneous flirtations with once-shiny links.
