Russia on Sunday scaled down the festivities honoring its navy citing security concerns as continuing Ukrainian drone attacks posed a challenge to the Kremlin.

Russian authorities canceled the parades of warships in St. Petersburg, in the Kaliningrad region on the Baltic and in the far-eastern port of Vladivostok that are usually held to mark the annual Navy Day celebrations.

Asked about the reason for the cancellation of the parade in St. Petersburg even as President Vladimir Putin arrived in his home city to visit the navy headquarters, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters that “it’s linked to the overall situation, security reasons, which are above all else.”

The Russian Defense Ministry said that air defenses downed 99 Ukrainian drones over several regions overnight. Later in the day, officials reported more drones shot down near St. Petersburg. A woman was injured by drone fragments in the Lomonosov region, according to the local authorities.

St. Petersburg’s Pulkovo airport suspended dozens of flights early Sunday because of the drone threat.

I made the jump in mid 2023 to Framework laptops and thought people might want to know the good, the bad, and the oh my god why do we need another picture of the mainboard to do an RMA??? (Though I do have to give credit here, it's gotten a lot better - and I stand by my follow up)

A few notes - I will be fairly nonspecific on things for my anonymity:

• I have a userbase of 300+, and about 200ish Frameworks deployed. Formerly a dell shop.
• Userbase is all over the country, I could have users in any of the 50 states at any given , usually some in at least 35+
• Almost entirely Intel i7-1360P and Core Ultra Series 1 Ultra 7 155H (I use the only 13 AMD I bought, and I have 1 16 in the environment)
• Environment app usage is largely browser based apps, office apps, and Bluebeam. Occasional user has some light CAD usage.
• Also just because I love him u/frameworkforbusiness doesn't know I'm posting this, and might have a heart attack, but we're homies now <3

So for those who've wondered what the switch has been like, AMA

Original Title: New research debunks a widespread belief that lefties score higher in creativity. It's commonly thought that left-handed people are more creative. But a new study found that left-handed people scored no better in tests designed to measure creativity.

Original Title: Using machine learning, researchers have tweaked immune receptors in plants to make them more resistant to bacterial pathogens. A major target is Ralstonia solanacearum, which causes bacterial wilt in tomato and potato crops.

US immigration officers made false and misleading statements in their reports about several Los Angeles protesters they arrested during the massive demonstrations that rocked the city in June, according to federal law enforcement files obtained by the Guardian.

The officers’ testimony was cited in at least five cases filed by the US Department of Justice amid the unrest. The justice department has charged at least 26 people with “assaulting” and “impeding” federal officers and other crimes during the protests over immigration raids. Prosecutors, however, have since been forced to dismiss at least eight of those felonies, many of them which relied on officers’ inaccurate reports, court records show.

The justice department has also dismissed at least three felony assault cases it brought against Angelenos accused of interfering with arrests during recent immigration raids, the documents show.

Also, if you know of any duplication between these communities and something that already exists somewhere, please let me know. The point is to make available high quality content for people who want it, not to overwhelm with autoposted fluff.

KARACHI (Reuters) -A viral video of the "honour killing" of a woman and her lover in a remote part of Pakistan has ignited national outrage, prompting scrutiny of long-standing tribal codes and calls for justice in a country where such killings often pass in silence.

While hundreds of so-called honour killings are reported in Pakistan each year, often with little public or legal response, the video of a woman and man accused of adultery being taken to the desert by a group of men to be killed has struck a nerve.

The mother, Gul Jan Bibi, said the killings were carried out by family and local elders based on "centuries-old Baloch traditions", and not on the orders of the tribal chief.

"We did not commit any sin," she said in a video statement that also went viral. "Bano and Ehsan were killed according to our customs."

Today's game is some more of The Last of Us. I'm determined to see this one through to the end (and maybe a little addicted). I'm so upset i didn't pick this game up earlier, but with how the narrative is, it's probably for the best i waited until i could understand it. It really reminds me of the novel The Road, which i'm pretty sure the game referenced. I wouldn't be surprised if it was an inspiration too.

I got to the point where Ellie was fleeing from the guys hunting her and met David. I noticed that he kind of seems to be a mirror Joel which i think is intentional. Even down to his appearance is similar. It is a shame he turned out to be evil because i kind of like the guy when the game forced you to get along with him. Still though, much prefer Joel over him.

The fight with the Bloater in the room really caused me some problems. It took a few tries but Ellie is built like a glass cannon so i struggled a bit. Still though, i eventually made it and wiped the floor with the thing by throwing a ton of Moltovs at it.

I gotta say, this whole winter chapter too is shaping up to be one of my favorites. It's really pretty. I've always had a soft spot for snowy landscapes and this is no exception. I really hope we get more time here outside of being hunted by these guys.

I dont want to skip entirely over the Dam section though, so before i end off for tonight (and probably end up staying up late to play some more) here's a really gorgeous screenshot i got of this billboard. The game's effects are perfect and i just love the detail on how this rain is done. I was honestly mesmerized. I know it's just some lame rain, but damn did it look good.

Do you think its a decent rule of thumb or is it not really a reliable platitude?
