  • There are only so many Russians to be sent as cannon fodder before you run out entirely.

    True, but probably they are more than the ones EU can send.

    Trying to do what’s being done in Ukraine with multiple fronts? Zero chance of any success.

    From a pure logical point of view you are right, but in reality there is nothing that prevent him to do it. Which do not imply that he can win obviously, he just need to be able to go on longer than EU.








  • I would say that it is more like a software company putting in their TOS that you cannot use their software to do a specific thing(s).
    Would be correct to sue the software company because a user violated the TOS ?

    I agree that what happened is tragic and that the answer by OpenAI is beyond stupid but in the end they are suing the owner of a technology for a uses misuse of said technology. Or should we sue also Wikipedia because someone looked up how to hang himself ?

    That’s like a gun company claiming using their weapons for robbery is a violation of terms of service.

    The gun company can rightfully say that what you do with your property is not their problem.

    But let’s make a less controversial example: do you think you can sue a fishing rods company because I use one of their rods to whip you ?






  • I am missing the connection between “release the files” and “make better politics”, especially because Kamala Harris was already in a position where she could have done something (she was Biden’s vice, let’s not forget it).

    What make you think that after 4 years as Vice president, doing basically nothing and being aknowleged as the worst one, she would have been better as President ? Just because she could have released the Epstein’s files ? Do you relly thing that there are only Republican’s names in these files ?



  • They can’t see if there is a cyclist or if someone wants to cross at the intersection. And that is one cause of all those deadly accidents while turning.

    To a car on the street, even a smaller car parked where it should not be is a problem. Most cars (every type) are generally higher than a pedestrian and if not higher you see only the head of the pedestrian or nothing much more. There is a reason you cannot (by roads law) park too near to crossroad, and the rules is way older than the first SUV’s.

    What it is true is that it is said that a higher front of a car is more dangerous to the pedestrian but I really don’t understand the reason: being it by a 1.5/2.0 tons car is devastating anyway. I don’t belive that being able to roll over the car (and land where and how ?) is really better and a lower car’s front could end with the pedestrian head to hit violently the car hood and/or windshield.


  • Kamala was not worse for billionaires.

    Maybe. But she was certainly worse than any other possible candidate the Democrats could have choosen. I mean, she was the worst vice-president in history (if the polls were right), got less than 1000 votes in the party’s primaries elections and was embarassing during the TV debetes. How the Democrats thought she could win ? Just because she is a black woman ? It seems too little.

    They could have published the Epstein stuff and Trump would have been silenced. Publishing the dirt now stresses that Trump was wanted. Either there is no Russian influence or it does not matter.

    Yeah, and to a person that has no work and now work perspective the release of the Epstein help how ?
    Don’t get me wrong, what Epstein did was awful and every accomplice should be punished but it was not the biggest problem people had/have.


  • I said the other side, not between the Republicans.

    Now, obviously Republicans could have pushed for another better candidate, like the Democrats could have done, but the point is that they had to choose between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris and we know the result.

    As I said elsewhere, this time it is not that the Republicans did everything right, but the Democrats did everything wrong, starting with who they choose (which, by the way, got less than 1000 votes in the party primaries for example).
