  • If alcohol consumption fixed declining birth rates, Japan wouldn’t have an aging population and Russia wouldn’t have been facing a demographic collapse even before the Ukraine invasion.

    This isn’t about boosting sex, it’s about being a conservative policy counterweight to opening the door to legalizing medicines derived from cannabis.

    My guess is that it’s a result of an internal NJP compromise between center right and hard right factions: only agreeing to allow liberalized medical cannabis policy, if the law also increased the scope of, and penalties for, recreational uses.

    But that’s just my assumption based on my limited understanding of Japan’s post-war uniparty government.





  • There’s way more history and nuance with the current migration crisis facing Europe than I feel like delving into with this comment, so I’m just going to leave you with a quick note about why you’re being downvoted:

    Intentionally trying to capsizing migrants so they drown isn’t the same as “being called racist”. Forget whatever opinions or beliefs motivated these actions, this is attempted murder, at best.

    So whether or not your commentary would be reasonable on an article discussing immigration policy, it’s irrelevant to this article. Which again, is about Spanish police trying to drown migrants by intentionally driving their police boat at, and then over, their small dinghy.








  • Maybe, or it could have been poor intelligence, systems failure, or there could have been an actual HVT at this location, and they just didn’t give a shit about any civilian collateral damage.

    I’m not saying any one of those scenarios is more likely than what you’re suggesting, just that they’re all just as likely until we know more.

    Edit: my bad, I didn’t realize everyone here already knows for a fact that this was Putin lashing out, and there no possibility that it was anything else. You must share your OSINT gathering secrets with me.


  • I’m assuming they meant that they were company phones, and that additionally they were required for any work related MFA requirements.

    If that’s the case, it would be YubiKey in addition to, not instead of.

    As for the time tracking software, those are often part of a much larger accounting, payroll, and/or HR software suite. Having his team spin up Windows vms, or even have separate older windows boxes somewhere, probably makes more financial sense than not. At least, until they can switch to a more modern suite that has a web portal.








  • Might be workable if you settle on combining only 2 to 3 keys (small, medium, large) per hex.

    Or, learn metallurgy and material science to find some new polymer or alloy that would be strong enough.

    But honestly, it sounds like a really expensive endeavor that even if you made it work, isn’t practical enough to justify the cost.

    Maybe something like the universal socket wrench style could influence a design that’s workable as a multi-hex, and be made cheaply enough.
