All proteins are peptides but not all peptides are proteins. Peptides are chains of aminoacids, when they're long enough, then they're called proteins.

American Christofascism is a death cult. Change my mind.

Basically, Fall of the Soviet Union 2.0. The west was able to outspend the ruskies until they croaked.

EU, please, keep up the pressure, break those murderous bastards in the Kremlin, don't let them win.

No one will accept a deal with the US for the next 20 years. Zelensky would get a better outcome if he made a pact with the actual Devil than with those bozzos in DC.

Drink Verification Can to proceed,

Jesus Fucking Christ !!!

What does Elmo think the government use ? MongoDB, because its Web Scale [0]?

Also known as "light", as used in Lasers, which also works to knock down drones.

Not to mention it was built on such a shoestring budget that it used stainless steel in several parts, had rivets that were not flush to the surface in places they wouldn't affect aerodynamics and used vacuum tubes on several avionics.

The last part, some tankies would want you to believe that it was stroke of genius from MiG, because tubes are less susceptible to EMPs. The truth is, the Soviet industry was so behind the west, they simply were incapable of manufacturing EMP hardened semi-conductors.

This will trigger the world to move away from the Dollar as the currency for international trade, which will cause the collapse of the American financial sector.

Do you want Canada to pivot to China? Because that's how you get Canada to pivot towards China... I think.

I'm just a dumb tropical dweller from the deep south, so I will not pretend to understand Canuck politics or the whims of their people, but history shows that even liberal, democratic nations sometimes turn to tyranical regimes for protection against bigger threats. See Finland during WW2.

Something, something, enemy of my enemy...

"That's a Bingo!"

Of course. That was pretty obvious for anyone who knows about gow fascist dictatorships work. Congress is gridlocked, he has his own Gestapo on the streets, police departments are mostly staffed by MAGAts, corporate media rolled over and gave up the fight. So who's gonna stop him ?

Activision certainly won't. They're owned by the same Microsoft that just bribed the Orangutan in Chief: https://web.archive.org/web/20250112043306/https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/technology/3281096/microsoft-1-million-trump-inauguration/

There's zero chance they'll risk Melon lashing back at them because of a stupid game.

If he scraps the CHIPs act, Intel will be bankrupt before the end of his term. Even worse, it could be bought by a private (in)equity fund.

Currency. Paper money that has high acceptance internationally, like US Dollars or Euros, both can be easily traded by local currency pretty much anywhere in the world.

maybe even certainly healthier.

Fixed that for you. Anything is healthier than American "food". Even British foods, possibly.

This is solid evidence for the inability of large corporations to actually innovate. They either copy smaller competitors or release crap that people don't need and never asked for, like "AI".

Oh boy, the opening of the markets on Monday will be... entertaining to say the least.

The only stocks going up will be companies that sell popcorn.

More like "10 xenturies of Russian aggression".

Brazilian here.

A year ago, the prices of food were through the roof, public opinion was against Lula and there were protests because of it all.

Now?

The far right is sinking faster than the Bismark, Lula is in a good position to be reelected without a run-off election and prices are going down again (we even had a bit of deflation in August).

A lot of this has to do with The Orange Pustule's reaction to the conviction of his criminal friend Boslonaro. In the end, Drumpf is the best campaign manager Lula could hope for.
