Here is one for you - what will happen if the Federal Government straight out forbids mortgages longer than 15 years? This question was raised in my head after the consensus about how terrible the Trump idea about 50 year mortgage is. So what happens if we go in the other direction?

Korean BBQ. Slicing the beef is a bitch unless you have proper deli slicer at home. And even then it is not a complete cakewalk.

First explanation greed or something even shadier. Second - just pulling crap dependencies without thinking (hello wordpress)

Play stupid games win stupid prizes. It is refreshing to see virtue signaling bearing consequences.

Unless the Europeans are willing to sink migrant boats by the thousands and let them all drown
You won't need that much. If you kill couple of boats the rest won't set sail at all. And I think that with drone tech advancing so much - creating a solar powered unmanned submarine that will just ram them with private funding is feasible.

Can anyone explain from where comes the staunch pro Ukraine, no compromise ever position of UK - I can understand the other players in this tragicomedy, but have absolutely no idea why UK believes and acts as it does?

Hey chat, what's your best solution to constipation?
Epsom salt. 20-40 km of walking also helps.

Isn't it easier just to subtly modify your dna to start creating cancer antibodies. Mind over matter.
I was trying to do some DIY projects lately so I needed 2 pieces of 250mm 2020 aluminum extrusions. Cheapest I could find in Europe was 11 euro with cutting and shipping. From temu with delivery - four costed 10 eur. PCB - from jclpcb 5 boards came at a lower cost than in EU they will charge you for answering your email. let alone production. Same with bearings, flanges, housings, transistors, resistors, capacitors and so on.
How do we unfuck ourselves from the situation where China can produce so much, at such a low cost, witch such a degree of automation that they don't even bother with paying low wages or producing low quality anymore. And they seem to accelerate in automation.
On a side note - the only EU company that produced cheap-ish PCB - only 3 times the price of jcl - had such a long lead times, that I am fairly sure they just group the orders and send them to jcl.

My TikTok is suddenly filled with Trump, Clinton, Epstein and Trump giving Clinton a blowjob. Does anyone know WTF this thing started?

What else are they supposed to do ?
Cut a deal in 2022 that gives Russia veto over their international military cooperation. The one that according to the rumor mill was offered by Russia, Ukraine was close to accepting, the body count was still low enough for the thing to be swept under the rug and the UK pressured them to refuse.

Let's just say that if you cremate all of the honest government officials and big company CEOs in eastern Europe, you will be able to cram their remains in a matchbox.

Let's start with the fabled danger zone for food. That you can only hold food at room temperature for 4 hours. Observation shows that even 24+ hours is totally safe. If you have been in a frat house - probably have figured out that even week old is ok-ish The other is about extension cords - especially in the context of using 240V appliance when the only outlet of 240V is not in the kitchen.

Trust me - the amounts stolen in Ukraine since the first year of the war are probably $100,000,000 per day. Just Eastern European things. I think that also the reason so many Russian nouveau riche decided to commit suicide by jumping from tall buildings - Putin was sending a message that right now is not business as usual and the rules about state money have changed for the duration of the war.
The whole operation was just a shot over the bow towards Zelensky from EU.

I am fairly sure regulation and license boards and code and inspectors is why I rarely bother to discuss anything related to food or electricity safety with a subset of US people. Especially the "licensed, up to code" ones. The part of their brain with which they can grasp that electrical safety comes from the laws of physics and not regulation seems to be atrophied. Ditto with the "danger zone" food experts.

Patriotism is great thing when combined with air superiority, artillery, logistics and outnumbering and outgunning the opponent 3 to 1. Otherwise it is good way to convert empty bodybags to full.

I am not sure that Pakistan even has money for saber rattling at the moment let alone full scale war. There is no rolling of the dice - this is Russian roulette with glock 17

If Satan is the only one that can remove migrants and asylum seekers from Europe, I would moderate my opinion on the Unholy Legion.
Ice are doing something that large parts of the red tribe think of as necessary.

Thank you for your awesome response. Just one question (if you decide to continue the sabatical, I will understand). Which will be the next Stalingrad in this war that already had 5 or 6 of those?

I am pretty happy about Mamdani. I have a somewhat radical opinion about democracy that is rarely held in the intelligentsia circles - that if voters want something, let them have it. The other thing that said circles never learn is - don't talk down to the voters. They have no choice but to vote Cuomo - guess what they did have a choice. And it was not voting for Cuomo.
The squeals of the anti Mamdani factions are a balm on the soul. And the ADL worst nightmare seems to be coming true - antisemitic as a label is sliding into indifference. Which is kinda amusing when right now for the first time in probably 60 years in the West there is proper 14 karat antisemitism showing its head.
I do hope that he will be able to hurt NY City enough to push things toward R in 2026 and 2028, but I doubt it - the mayor just doesn't have that many powers to ruin something that fast.

I have a suspicion Nybbler was thinking of the US army ...
And which outcome do you think is most likely to happen?
I know nothing of military, tactics and so on - but my impression is that the things are way more orderly on the Russian side than the Ukrainian in the last couple of months.

A sanity check through claude and grok both come up with Russia having about 10-12% the economy size of the EU. If you insist on PPP then at best 20%.
EU is best described as a person living paycheck to paycheck that uses payday loans. It is not about the size of the economy, but what the countries have spare. And it is not much. This is why funding for Ukraine has been sluggish. EU is big, but a lot of it's resources are tied in welfare, EU projects, the countries do have steadily increased debt to gdp ratio, growth is anemic at best and so on. France is in fiscal trouble, Germany's export oriented economy is not doing terribly well. We are also in a trade war with USA, with China while bearing the bulk of the negatives from sanctions on Russia.
And yet in all other markets people take losses all the time while still not wanting. And everyone that wants to sell their house can't afford to wait forever. They will break and probably sooner than later. Of course we will also have to keep private equity and some other over capitalized entities out of residential housing, but that is hardly a bad idea anyway.
