John the farmer would have been way too vague

"De boer", or "the farmer" is the 10th most common surname in the Netherlands. Top three are "The young", "son of Jan" and "The Frisian".

Naaktgeboren comes from the German "nachgeboren", meaning "born after the father died". Which is the same origin as Posthumus, except that came via latin.

Oh, I own this game. It's Battleship: Surface Thunder!

It's the weirdest mix of "Battleship the 2-player board game" and what you see in the image, a mission based arcade game.

He was ahead of his time, but not in fashion.

Lead (your) soldiers into positions from which there is no retreat, and they will prefer death over flight.

Sun Tsu. If he said it, it's the most obvious of obvious.

He fought the law and the law won

Huh, so we were alone

Also without the rather large and squishy control system thats uniquely vulnerable to concussive damage

IIRC car tires are responsible for a large amount of microplastic pollution, which EVs don't help with at all.

True, but that is just a tiny fraction of particulate pollution. EVs solve a very large part of the problem. Not all of it, but a lot.

And if they don't like this, there's always the super easily, highly convenient solution of NOT BEING A NAZI.

Wero still uses Amazon's servers for Things (tm) that they won't disclose. They say they're working on it now that european cloud compute is expanding.

I'd much rather use something controlled by the ECB than by private parties though.

Yeah, anyone who commits genocide is a Bad Person who needs to be stopped, and murder works.

Last time I saw that happen, it took all of 30 seconds to walk one office over and appropriate that laptop

Pffff, they'll just have to restore it without fancy western techniques like cut off and safety valves. It's not like anything will be exploding nearby.

"well, you're the expert. I'll be behind this sealed barrier while you kill yourself"

Disclaimer: don't do this. Letting your coworkers die is morally bad, and probably illegal.

"this is wrong, but also really useful so we're going to do it and pretend to feel bad"

Good news: I've heard that literally every single game is woke now.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine has shown Europe that it needs more of everything. The idea that we can win a small highly equipped highly trained force has gone out the window. And that costs money.

And yes, we've also seen the US shift from steadfast ally to unreliable to outright geopolitical opponent.

But don't assume that just because Russia couldn't occupy Warsaw that they can't, for example, kill several hundred thousand Estonians. Russia is immediately turning genocidal in its occupied territories, and while they're not a risk to Europe as a whole, they are absolutely dangerous.

Have you tried not occupying a sovereign nation's land? I hear that helps a lot with not getting your shit blown up

Sue and lose.
