So, they wished the increased spending to the monkey paw and got exactly what they were wishing for: countries are cancelling orders of complex US equipment all over the world, and Europe is developing a military industry to compete with them.
No one can cut off the US oil supply.
Well, if the US invests on being able to use its own oil without mixing with anything else, the can become true.
Not to mention they could simply seize oil haulers for themselves with their navy.
A few times, yeah. The world won’t react well to the US specializing into constant piracy.
Hum… I only disagree on that it looks like the entire reason Israel is attacking is that Netanyahu isn’t firmly in power.
If Israel starts getting seriously hit, I’d expect him to fall. But the consequences of that can go both ways.
You test your backup by recreating your system, either in a local environment or in some cheap simulated one.
It’s even better if you write a manual with the steps you needed. And try to follow (and update it) when you do it again.
AFAIK, it’s not clear if the CIA ever killed a president.
They surely gave guns and taught other people how to do it. But I don’t think they ever did it themselves.
It’s hard to misrepresent this as anything but Trump throwing a tantrum.
The article is talking about a local ban, pushing for it, and talking about other local bans.
It has been banned nationwide for decades. States do not have the authority to ban it. Cities do have authority, but the article isn’t about cities and it would be redundant anyway.
So, overall, it’s a political piece, pushing an entity that doesn’t have the authority to ban the thing into banning something that has already been banned by a higher (on this case) authority for decades.
And yes, plenty of people still do it. Even outside of Rio (but it’s way more common there). A serious article would talk a lot more about the police enforcing the ban, but then the author did notice that this just won’t happen in Rio, for several practical reasons. So, why all the space pushing for something that is already there?
What is this talking about? Cutting lines have been banned for decades already.
I figure the most bang for my buck right now is to set up off-site backups to a cloud provider.
If you don’t have the budget for on-premises backup, you almost certainly can’t afford to restore the cloud backup if anything goes wrong.
Then I started reading about backing up databases
Go read the instructions for your database in particular. They are completely different from each other. Ignore generic instructions.
now I’m configuring a docker-db-backup container
What is perfectly fine. But I’d first look how this interferes with the budget you talked about earlier and if it wouldn’t be better to keep things simpler and put the money on data replication.
Either way, if your budget is low, I’d focus a lot on making sure you have the data when you need to restore, and less on streamlining the restore procedure. (That seems to be the direction you are going, so yeah, I’d say it’s good.) Just make sure to test the restore procedure once in a while.
It must be hard to live with an entire planet wishing you die soon.
First, “they all” didn’t so it. Some of them did.
Second, you are the one claiming the motivation for that action. And you are wrong, their motivation isn’t to “keep their business competitive despite the US tariffs”… unless of course they also don’t know what they are doing. That’s because the US tariffs doesn’t change the competitiveness of products on their territory, and their tariffs don’t change the competitiveness of products on the US territory…
What should be obvious, because the tariffs aren’t applied there.
That’s a really bad understanding of how economies work. On all levels.
That’s the kind of the way Trump thinks.
Stuff made in China? Tariffs!
Unless China considers it important. If so, they’ll just not send it.
I imagine it’s the terms the EU and UK were talking about yesterday. I also imagine the US would have something about 40% of the remaining 50% (20% of the total).
The US and Russia. Both were supposed to guarantee Ukrainian peace…
Goes to show you how much you can trust foreign powers.
Remember how the Nazis and the Soviet Union made a treat before WWII dividing Poland between them?
Unfortunately, Washington is outside of the possible impact zone. (Well, Washington in Brazil is inside, but it’s not about that one.)
If you cook it with an adequate amount of seasoning, it tastes quite good.
Try throwing a hamburger into a pan full of water, cooking it with no salt or anything and see how it tastes like.
The EU has some negotiations going badly on finding 100k people to keep permanently stationed in Ukraine from now on. And it’s not even a failure, it’s just that some people disagree… what never happens on the EU…
Way to turn a non-news into the weirdest false fact you can get.
I don’t think the US military complex consider that “less undesirable” than basically any other possible outcome.
… well, it may be better in their minds than an asteroid destroying Earth before they can cash-out. Maybe. I’m not sure about this one…
