That's outstanding research you've done today. Have some vodka with a pickle, you deserve it.

He needs to be eliminated before he can press that button.

That's not physically possible. If he wants to launch nukes - he will.

Don't announce anything, just bomb the shit out of him.

There is that thinly-veiled threat of nuclear response that Putin made in his war declaration yesterday. That's a bit of a deterrent I think. And you can't be sure if he's bluffing.

No bozo,I didn't suggest Ukraine should give up its whole territory.Once we refused to listen to the russians and the ukrainian government kept shelling the eastern breakaway regions it gave putin the excuse he needed justify what he is doing now.Negotiating is the only way out of this because russia will roll ukraine over if they don't and not you nor I can do anything about it.Stop being so fucking arrogant.

Putin is lying to you. He was amassing military on the border for months, long before whatever excuse he came up with to justify the invasion. All those things he kept saying (it's just a military exercise; they're moving back; it's peacekeeping; etc) - all lies. Sure there will be "negotiating", once he's done bombing and invading. Perhaps he'll create a puppet government to negotiate with, just to make it go smoother, because "nazis". Maybe even run a "referendum" on how much Ukrainians love him.

We cannot take the moral high ground here because we completely ignored the Russians at the negotiating table.This is what allows Putin to use as the excuse to take action.We gave him this excuse because we were too arrogant to give any concessions.Instead we responded with flooding Ukraine with weapons ..and helmets.It is best the Ukrainians do the negotiating with Putin themselves because all our politicans are warmongers and are delighted to have this distraction in Ukraine deflecting from the shitshows happening in our own countries.

This absurd notion is based on an erroneous assumption (or just plain trollfuckery) that Putin is a rational person who can be negotiated with. He isn't and he can't, unless by "concessions" you mean that Ukraine should have just given up entirely and unconditionally. Even then he'd be executing people there just because he wants to (re his comments on "de-nazification").

....So... Putin just invaded Donbass.

Bitcoin discounts incoming
The next 24 hours are critical

Yeah looks like localized to Donbass...so far

I came here to check what Kremlin bots are spinning on this topic and I must say I'm not disappointed.

It adds an imgur button that uploads your local file and appends the url inside a img tag.

Brilliant.

I tried to extend it with a clipboard thingy so that I could paste an image (e.g. a screenshot) into the textbox. Unfortunately imgur doesn't like Tor but I'm thinking if I got that far then it might work for someone who's not on Tor. Try at your own risk. Add the following code somewhere inside the main "function":

Code:
document.querySelector('textarea').addEventListener('paste', e => {
   if (e.clipboardData.files && e.clipboardData.files.length > 0) {
      document.getElementById('uploadImage').files = e.clipboardData.files;
      document.getElementById('uploadImage').dispatchEvent(new Event('change'));
   }
});

Loading...



Dude.... Works AWESOME in my latest chrome version! I can't thank you enough, only thing better (?)is if there was a way to upload hidden to your [own] imgur account(if even possible ofc), and maybe size options lol.. Tongue (Now I'm def asking too much sorry)! Tongue Cheesy

Not sure how imgur API works - what with being unable to use it as per above - but perhaps this line can be changed to use your account:

Code:
      headers: { authorization: 'Client-ID 09727b421c2303e' },

Do you mean the extension button would upload the image to a 3rd party site and then auto-insert the embed code from it?
Yep, that's what I mean Smiley

I take it you're volunteering to create an image hosting site? Smiley

Latvia and Lithuania are some of the countries that will be next, Putin will implant pro-Russian politicians and stir up conflict within the countries so that they can be declared pro-Russian territories and become annexed without military intervention.

That'd be a sight to behold, what with them being proper NATO members and nowhere near as Russian as Donetsk. Not saying it's impossible, but certainly Putin has lower-hanging fruit to pick.

What do they mean by Illegal Mining Farms?

That's what happens when you get your news from Twitter. Read the actual thing and tell everyone what you've learned, win-win.

https://oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News/World-News/Kazakhstan-Energy-Officials-Shut-Down-13-Illegal-Data-Farms-In-Crypto-Crackdown.html

tl;dr: using residential electricity rates for mining, apparently a big no-no in Kazakhstan.

This is a BTC-only thread, and rightly so. But it's interesting to compare and contrast Bitcoin's performance against other cryptocurrencies (a.k.a. shitcoins), so that those who are still attracted to them can see sense and go back to King Daddy Bitcoin.

The recent comments on BCH/BSV prompted me to do a performance comparison of Bitcoin vs. a few shitcoins I owned in my early years in the scene. Right after the BCH fork (late 2017, about 4.5 years ago), I decided to sell everything non-BTC I owned and convert them all to BTC. I won't mention the amounts I owned (irrelevant to the analysis), but just spot prices then and now. On to the numbers...

Yeah shitcoiners will show you some new-fangled pancake-with-maple-syrup totally-not-shitcoin that gained 5000000% in the last month. You can't possibly convince them. Greed and stupidity beats math and logic every time.
1653  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Russian Invasion of Ukraine on: February 22, 2022, 03:40:50 AM
But the issue is that a sizable percentage of the population in those regions supports Russia. And if Ukraine is too weak to retain the territory, Russia is willing to exert force to take it, and many more residents are willing to fight for Russia than against Russia, then it seems inevitable that the territories will go to Russia.

AFAIK there hasn't been any significant resistance inside those regions for a long time. There's tight control by the local authorities (pretty much dictatorships - with permanent curfews etc). If no one was able to put up much of a fight there against those forces, surely nothing is going to happen now with the arrival of Russian military reinforcements.

The question is how much further will Putin move into Ukraine. It's possible that he will play tough for a few months and "negotiate" to get Luhansk/Donetsk/Crimea recognized as part of Russia by the West in exchange for a peace deal. But in a sort of macabre way, it would probably be better for Ukraine in the long run if Putin tried to move further. This could bankrupt Russia and end up with a complete withdrawal like Afghanistan in 1980s. At a huge cost to both sides.

Is UKR/RUS the cause of another dump?

Yeah but you can't talk about it here.
1655  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Russian Invasion of Ukraine on: February 21, 2022, 10:39:16 PM
Russia may initially claim to be going into areas controlled by separatists under the pretext of "liberating" those areas, but there is always the potential that the Russian military will not stop at those areas. Any invasion is going to be accompanied by airstrikes (likely), so if Russia limits airstrikes to the areas controlled by separatists, the invasion is likely to be limited to that area.

Why would they bomb the territory they already control, makes no sense.
1656  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Russian Invasion of Ukraine on: February 21, 2022, 10:22:09 PM
So, Putin today officially recognised Luhansk and Donetsk People's Republics as independent stats. It's something unbeleavable how president of one country can simply decide that part of another country will be independent state.

Ahem... wasn't Lithuania technically "part of another country" when it was recognized by Iceland in 1991? Grin

Anyway, technicalities aside, yes, Donetsk/Luhansk is Russia's Trojan horse to send troops there (after being promptly asked to do so by the people of the new countries) and then perhaps expand a hundred or so km into Ukraine because they will need a buffer zone to defend from those pesky Ukrainians. Kharkiv is a goner too probably, eventually.
1657  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Donald Trumps’ Truth Social Media: For Freedom of Speech or Politics on: February 21, 2022, 04:26:12 PM
Do you really think the Truth Social Media is to promote freedom of speech or for Trump’s future political aspirations?

Option C, it's a desperate attempt to make money via SPAC. Trump doesn't give two shits about freedom of speech and his political ambitions serve only to enrich himself. It's not a bad plan though, there are many deluded trumplings still thinking that he's being unfairly deprived of "platforms" and even presidency, and of course Wall Street bros will jump at the chance to pump this sucker:

Wouldn't that be nice if images/gifs you used in your bitcointalk posts were cached by forum itself so if that particular file hoster were to go down, posts would still show right info instead of what is mentioned in title?

Storage costs and liability issues make that very unlikely I think.

You should use a host that isn't going to disappear soon (imgur has been around since forever and still works I think) and archive the really important posts.

Credit Suisse massive leak unmasks criminals, fraudsters and corrupt politicians.

Morons, should have used Bitcoin.

Come to think of it, perhaps the smart ones are using it, and the dumb ones send money to Switzerland.

Further, you can trivially check if a particular PM, based on the PMID contains a specific content, and if so, you could chose to confirm as much.

LoyceV really shouldn't do that if he can't verify (as is the case with a BCC) that the person who's asking is a recipient and not merely fishing. Sequential message ID is not a substitute for authorization.
