WTF are boneless wings?

I mean, yes, inaccuracy is another issue here. But I assume “the most numerous” means better than average, or at lest not the worst in its category (unless you actually standardize for the time since divergence, then there are probably some niche microbial taxa, some rare extremophiles, that are actually less numerous; still, surely worse than average).

The heads are outside the EU’s jurisdiction. But I would like to see the EU showing it has the power to limit a company’s activities on the common market if they do not follow the rules (idk how exactly, I guess hard bans would be very, very difficult to implement in this case).

Can I blog there without putting up a paywall? (I could still accept donations if they really need that, not that I would expect many ¯_(ツ)_/¯)

Yeah, a d i c t i o n warning. The bar you buy is likely disappear sooner than you would have thought ;)

Okay, that makes a lot of sense. I didn’t know about Cloudflare, thank you!

Bro, animals among the most numerous creatures? Bacteria, Archaea, and viruses are surely more numerous. I bet the same applies to fungi and plants. Oh, and protists, since they are unicellular and have twice the total biomass of animals.

In terms of biomass, animals are barely significant. And they are relatively big. So they surely are less numerous than other groups.

I’ll give that a try, thanks!

My case was convenience (since I have copilot, since everybody around me uses it, since it is integrated not only in VS but also in RStudio etc.) and lack of knowledge about the alternatives. Or laziness, in other words.

Poolside looks very cool. But it seems that atm it is available only upon request and only for companies.

For now, I use GitHub Copilot. They give it for free to students, but it would be great to have an alternative once I graduate or once they stop giving it out for free.

To the photos section, you can add Polish PhotoAiD (https://photoaid.com/). One of the cool features is that for some countries, you can get a photo formatted for a document application (e.g., for a passport) out of a selfie.

But it works only for recurrent donations, right?

I know that in Poland there patronite.pl works great, but it seems to be unavailable in other languages.

Well, yeah, I guess they remove smoke detectors from their houses, as they could create smoke anxiety when a fire breaks out ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I’ve used Pocketbook for years. Durable equipment, good battery, simple but robust OS. The company was first founded in Kyiv and then moved its headquarters to Switzerland. Production, to the best of my knowledge, is in Taiwan. Highly recommended.

Lol Tesla Cybertruck XDDD

Yes, the majority of the population. Everybody wanted to go to the USSR and the Eastern Bloc in general. That is why they built the Berlin Wall and heavily guarded all the borders with Western Europe. To stop all the migrants ;) (I prefer to trust people living at that time than the nostalgia.)

I agree that it is worse in Russia now than it was in the post-Stalin Soviet era, though.

Well, I’ve also grown up in the former Eastern Bloc. So 1:1. Maybe you were part of the privileged group profiting from the Soviet imperialism? ;)

Also: Do you deny the Gulag, the oppression of all opposition, including any forms of self-organization, the Holodomor genocide, and the ethnic cleansing, e.g., of the Crimean Tatars?

Yeah, the “secret protocols dividing Eastern Europe” are a tiny, tiny detail. The UK and France decided to declare war on Germany because it was attacking independent countries. The USSR decided to join Germany in the war efforts, as long as they could. They also made programs of ethnic cleansing, mass incarceration and mass murder parallel to the Nazi ones. (They themselves admitted they were basically the same thing, claiming for years that the Katyn massacre was done by the Germans and not the Soviets). The power in the Soviet Union was concentrated in the hands of a very few people at the highest ranks of the Communist Party. Any independent self-organization, including independent workers’ unions, was forbidden. Explain to me: What was so wonderful in all of that?

Okay. Even if this is correct, then we have: If the UK and the US had not stood up to Hitler, we would have a Stalinist regime spreading across all, not half of the continent. Nice.

Also, a reminder: The Soviets first collaborated with Hitler, attacking Poland together in 1939. They intensified rather than stopped the colonial practices of the Russian Empire.
