this is the first mention of a 'majority' so certainly looks like a moving goalpost

First 6 of the most used models on openrouter currently are Chinese; that's true for code generation and other coding-relevant tasks too when ranked by share of tokens.

Of course openrouter is not representative because most users directly go to the model provider but it still proves your claim is very far from "absolutely true".

Russia is in a Home war

no it is not, Russia is fighting an war of aggression on foreign soil

it would be pretty self defeating to just charge onto the stage going full Nazi

Sadly no, in 2026 going full Nazi genocidal maniac mass murderer in waiting seems to be broadly acceptable for a politician, in the next few years we can expect the "in waiting" part will be dropped somewhere.

someone as philosophically astute and well-rounded as he was

Just my general observation having never read anything from him: many people with generally good qualities but also with a bit of narcissism and self-importance have, when exposed to psychedelics, gone off the rails and became truth-owning preachers or outright abusers. This is to me interesting in so far as this is not the case generally for others groups of psychedelic users.

In that aspect I can understand the analogy, although I have no idea if it's correct.

caoh2 is water soluble (slightly). the question was about anti-mold properties and it is commonly used for these properties in paint for example in cellars but it will lose these properties when too wet. so it's not used in bathrooms.

They are selling it though. If I (from the EU) buy something directly from the US (or China), I don't expect EU conditions to apply. It's quite common and it's fine if both sides of the transaction understand the deal.

right, but lime will be washed away by the water if no waterproof layer is added

it's not waterproof

In this case the seller is American and shipping from Asia, so while the warranty should be 2 years in the EU, there is no way to force them as they have no presence in the EU.

Oneplus 15 uses a Si/C battery like other higher end Chinese phones currently. It doesn't get hot during normal operation (I don't play games on it) and since I don't use fast charging, for now it looks like it will work for a long time. Still get easily 2 days on a 80% charge.

here in densely populated parts of the world we don't prefer burying toxic waste close to our homes.

Far more valuable is any nickel, cobalt and graphite. Equally valuable is any copper and aluminium.

All of these metals are already almost fully recycled (not sure about graphite). Lithium is the toughest to recycle and it's not solved yet, so it's right to focus on that, because there will be a lot of lithium electrolyte to dispose in the near future.

I think the issues with recycling lithium from electrolyte containing lithium hexafluorophosphate in solvents is more the hexafluorophosphate part; it's highly reactive, hygroscopic and releases (toxic, corrosive) hydrogen fluoride upon contact with water. So purely from economic perspective it's possibly not worth it unless we are very lithium-constrained. Of course it should be done anyway as there will be a lot of used batteries in near future.

The article doesn't really give us the details which is a pity.

I won't shed a tear as you say but a few (way too few) opposition figures were killed or sit in prison / were expelled (Yashin, Kara-Murza for example), so pretty much everyone understands the price they will pay.

Ideally the whole regime would start infighting and implode to hell, but ordinary people won't start the process I'm afraid... although the recent fuel shortages could give us some hope if they last long enough.

Not just Russia, the Kingdom of Hungary (which contained large parts of Central Europe) abolished serfdom only in 1848 (the Serfdom Patent of 1781 was not really respected in the hungarian part of Austrian Empire until then).

it still works in the web app - following -> recent - though I think I've got some browser extension to force that to be the default, otherwise it tended to revert to other tabs and ordering.

Or you can build enough cupboards to stash away three generations of cooking utensils and no clutter will be visible. But that too demands a bit of investment in terms of money and room space.

Cluttered old homes with lots of things all over the place make it a bit less jarring when there's a stack of work left out on a table.

that's wrong: my minimalist (in looks, not in equipment) all white kitchen looks completely fine even after a dinner party, because even then it doesn't look full, dirty or cluttered. The old one (and it wasn't that old, only there were more and darker colors and lines and objects) decidedly didn't. The art of designing modern spaces lies in the ability to make the space visually appealing (in my case minimal) while still able to function correctly. Too often the designers and their clients forget about the practical aspects.

Or if I used personal devices for work, my personal devices are now in scope. Hell NO!

In Europe, unless it's a criminal investigation, which this wouldn't be, there is no way a lawsuit would touch your personal devices if you didn't agree (and mostly also nobody would care I think).

You are completely wrong in everything you just wrote.

...What?

I live in the EU. There is no war in the EU, that's surely a success by your own count. And it's cute to mention several "jobs" as one job. Perhaps you would like to narrow down your argument, if there is one.

This article does not say someone was arrested because of a public talk about Gaza and Israel. A local government has cut funding to a local org because of a disagreement. Nobody was arrested.

No the regulation "from Europe" whatever that means is not worse, that's just the usual dumb anti-EU propaganda. If by that you perhaps mean checking EU agro subsidies against the actual size and use of declared fields, then that is not regulation, it's just checking the subsidies are not defrauded, which is a huge issue. Every farmer is free not to ask for the subsidies. But for most of the EU regs, the member country can choose how to implement them. Usually countries manage to not overburden their people with that. The German problem is homegrown.

I don't know when you were born but I'm pretty sure Germany was regulation capital of the world already back then and this is just your nostalgia bias speaking (also I agree with you Germany is currently way way overregulated but also outsiders have no way to really understand the degree of overregulation).

But also the US pretty much care too much when you for example try to blow your head off with drugs instead of a gun or explosives so the grass is not that green on the other side either.

It's not the fault of the format if someone chose to use it in a poor way.

Which is why we've ended up with things like WSDL which define another layer on top of XML to make it actually usable for the thing it is used for. Hence the collective exhale when JSON showed up.

But in Bulgaria you need one during at least the whole summer and I suspect also a bit longer, while in Czechia you could have gone without one the whole year and really need one only for a week or two in the summer. So most people didn't think it was worth the expense. Now that's changed and the attitude will change too.

In my newish (25y old, well insulated) flat we really started to feel the need to get one only 2-3 years ago. Until then it was nice to have but not necesarry.

Well the voting is heavily manipulated since more than 10-15 years already, and many candidates are banned from running too (not to forget many opposition and critical figures were killed).

Of course they should change the government but I don't think it's possible to achieve that through elections.

One of the few public places it's still legal to smoke in in our country are psychiatric wards, supposedly it benefits the patients.

That said, there are other ways to consume nicotine.
