The US has presidents on its dollars, and I think that should remain the status quo.

I think president Tubman fits the status quo just like president Hamilton and president Franklin.

Harriet Tubman was not president. She was a slavery abolitionist. Perhaps you have her confused with someone else?

I think you're the one who's confused or trying to confuse others.

You're making a claim ("US has presidents on its dollars") that is false for 2 out of 7 (6 really; barely anyone uses the $2) dollar bills in circulation. And you use that false claim as an argument why Tubman shouldn't be on the $20. That's disingenuous or illiterate, depending on how well you know 3rd grade US history.

You forget that Putin signed off on UN Charter Article 51. He IS legal in this police action of his.

No, he's not, quit making shit up. UN did not approve his "police action".

What does this mean? It means that Russia is totally justified in her actions.

Nonsense. It's like breaking into your neighbor's house because he voted for democrats. Although I'm not sure you'd be totally against that. Putinists (and Trumpists and other dictator-worshiping absolutists) tend to forget about laws and rights when it suits them.

Remembering how the EUput pressure on Lithuania during the conflict with China, I have a damn doubt they support their ally in the conflict with Russia. In the place of Lithuania, I wont count on anything from the EU other than requests/threats to cede to Russia.

Lithuania is in NATO, so it's unlikely to cede anything tangible. If the Baltic states hadn't joined NATO I'm sure Putin would have invaded them first and not Georgia or Ukraine.

Economically there is also not much to lose. Trade with Russia is under massive sanctions for decades to come.

Just curious, how much it will cost for renewing SSL?
It's very helpful to us on this site and I hope it too this will be resolved soon.

It's a free certificate and apparently we're getting what we're paying for.

I'm on it.

Edit: should be ok now.

I guess I need to go old school with it and put it on my calendar to renew it. Scheduled task keeps failing for some unclear reason.

I think the biggest issue in this the forum may be not posts with poor grammar or syntax, but posts that are grammatically correct however devoid of any meaning or purpose.

Just a random post from Bitcoin Discussion:

Quote
You are asking how safe is it to invest in crypto currency? You should know that before you venture into anything you have to do a little research on it. Now to your question, it is advised that you invest what you know you can afford to loose and secondly you should as well know that crypto market is volatile. Currently it's bear market and as a smart Crypto investor, you should know what to do.

This doesn't have any major grammar or syntax issues, no more than e.g. the OP of this thread. However it's a useless shitpost. It doesn't say anything useful or interesting or anything that hasn't already been said earlier in the 10+ pages of that thread, or many other threads. It was typed (or copied from a translation tool or whatever) by someone who has zero interest in a discussion. Many threads on many boards devolve to this kinds of nonsense after the first 5-10 pages. In fact many of those threads are useless and repetitive to begin with.

Try reporting it and you'll get a solid "Unhandled". Basically the forum has surrendered to this shit.

I'll take a non-grammarly post that has an actual opinion, information, argument, even trolling over this kind of perfunctory indolent tripe.

I think that having oil & gas pipelines with the RF is not really a problem. This should have brought RF and EU's interest close together and Adolf Putin could have chosen to be a civilised nation with a positive influence in the world. I guess a former KGB mediocre bureaucrat cannot avoid being what he is.

Unfortunately it becomes a gateway drug to complete dependence on Russian (or Saudi, or some other totalitarian shithole) energy resources. Yes, a pipeline could be built while keeping viable backup options but ten years later a different party gets elected and says "why do we need to spend billions maintaining LNG terminals when we have this cheap gas flowing through the pipeline" or "why do we need the nuclear plants or solar or geothermal or anything really except cheap natural gas power plants" etc etc.

Sure, sure, and the other day you wanted to gamble playing heads or tails in amounts of 50 Bitcoins at a time because you were feeling a little sad.
    
Places where you can bet 50 BTC on 50/50 odds?

Either you were lying then or you are lying now, and looking at your trust page I don't believe your explanations.

There you go, that's the real TF, a scamtroll.

Not a completely fair comment in my view.

I didn't mean it to be rude, I just don't do "nice" well Smiley

No, I agree, they're trying to do their best given the circumstances, I don't have a problem with that. Just hoping it's irreversible and they won't build gas pipelines from Russia 20 years from now, like Germany did.

Actually, its time to finally drive americans out of EU and start to be independent. It would be tough, though, as through operation Gladio
USA installed former nazi terrorist cells in all EU countries, to prevent that from happening

Former nazis must be like 100+ years old by now.

955  Other / Meta / Re: [POLL] DT2 Status; how many net inclusions should it take? on: June 25, 2022, 01:36:38 PM
Here is another nuance with the new proposals: DT1 lottery.

(double check the math below before making long-reaching conclusions, as it could be completely wrong because Saturday and... you know...)

If there are 125 candidates to select DT1 from (AFAIK typical these days), the chance of any candidate to be in DT1 in any given month is 80%. Under current rules, that's also the chance of a DT2 member to be in DT2 if that DT2 member has bare minimum of inclusions (one).

If we bump this up to two inclusions, then even if a DT2 member has the required minimum of inclusions (two), their chance to be in DT2 is ~64% since they need both of their "includers" to be in DT1 at the same time (0.8 * 0.8 = 0.64).

Of course it gets more convoluted once you add exclusions and/or more inclusions. For example someone with one inclusion and two exclusions (barely out of DT2 under current rules) still has a ~16% chance to "sneak" into DT2 if one of their "excluders" is not in DT1 (20% chance) and their "includer" is in. Adding two required "includers" drops that chance to ~13% (0.64 * 0.2 = 0.128).

If the DT1 candidate pool is 150, then the numbers above change from ~ 67% to 44%, and from ~ 33% to 15%, so a larger pool appears to make the proposed rules even tougher. But this doesn't consider the increased chances of someone being included or excluded by a potential DT1 member because there are more potential DT1 members.

Two more hard votes for 10 players, that make 3 of us.

Count me in for 10. I think at this point instead of waiting/looking for two more teams we're better off discussing other stuff like divisions, playoffs etc, and I want to hit mock drafts as soon as possible LOL.

I would not like to pedal the question of Lithuania in this topic, but I will still add a few words. Lithuania is the little rabid dog of the United States, which barks loudly in any direction the boss from Washington points to. Last year, Lithuania managed to quarrel with China, suddenly preoccupied with the issue of oppression of the Uyghurs and was about to open a representative office in Taiwan. Now she is trying to spoil Russia by interpreting the EU sanctions in her own way. Obviously, this is a provocation with the aim of causing an excessively harsh response from Russia. Well, at the level of verbal interventions, the provocation was a success. There are no real actions yet, we'll see.

The fact that Kremlin is seriously pissed at Lithuania shows that for once they (Lithuanian government) are doing something right, even if forced by the EU.

For too long the politics in the Baltic states was influenced by the fear of turning the gas off or other "sanctions" from Russia. Too many pro-Russian politicians and just plain morons longing for Soviet times. Finally a chance to clean that shit out, hopefully they won't squander it. It's been 30 years, time to move on.

It's funny how all Russian trolls suddenly discovered that Lithuania actually exists and is very evil. Any nazis there? Kinda slow with the narrative, should have found someone with a swastika tattoo by now.
958  Other / Meta / Re: [POLL] DT2 Status; how many net inclusions should it take? on: June 24, 2022, 11:32:55 PM
I think it should be Net 1 but with 2 inclusions minimum (i.e. like the current formula but bumped up by 1).

One inclusion, no exclusions - not in DT2.
Two inclusions, no exclusions - in DT2.
Two inclusions, one exclusion - still in DT2.
Two inclusions, two exclusions - no longer in DT2.

And so on.

This would reduce the chances of (lone) rogue "includers" and rogue "excluders" from messing with the system (self-scratching etc).

I am of the opinion that a net score of +2 should be required for inclusion to DT2.  So, for Claire to be included in DT2, at least two DT1 members would need to include her.  If one DT1 member excludes Claire, she would need a total of three inclusions to be on DT2.

I don't like this asymmetry (you need to gain two inclusions to get in, but one asshole can kick you out). The current system is also asymmetric in the other direction (you need just one inclusion to get in, but only a gang of two assholes can kick you out). I prefer a balanced amount of assholery.
