Did anyone think that Stalin’s immediate subordinates were neutral bystanders?

In the US at a white collar job. 1 (2 max) drinks every once in a long while for a work lunch is acceptable. Depends on how comfortable you are with your coworkers and if anyone else seems willing to drink a beer or two.

Depending on your company culture, 5 to 10 drinks may be considered the socially acceptable limit for a work lunch. Pissing at your desk is mandatory. Shitting and puking is optional.

Didn’t the US embargo Cuba for like half a century?

The current Democratic leadership is incapable of learning from their mistakes. That’s the problem.

Go back in time and stack the Supreme Court under Biden.

Go back in time and groom a candidate to replace Biden after his first term.

Go back in time and let Bernie run as a VP or Presidential candidate.

I know it is cheesy, but look at every maintenance project as an opportunity for learning a new DIY skill.

This will bring down the price of eggs.

Do you have a source on Taiwan banning the local model? I only see this:

“Government agencies and critical infrastructure should not use DeepSeek, because it endangers national information security,” according to a statement released by Taiwan’s Ministry of Digital Affairs, per Radio Free Asia.

“DeepSeek AI service is a Chinese product. Its operation involves cross-border transmission, and information leakage and other information security concerns.”

This article just references a report from the news site N12 without a link. N12 does not have an English version of their site so I cannot find the report.

Why are people giving Amazon the location permission?

New Amazon pickup lockers now require the app to access location and nearby devices. It used to be such that Amazon would just give you a pin that would open the locker.

I had to download the app and enable these permissions to get my package out of a locker. It felt gross and took twice as long. I deleted the app as soon as I was done.
