I hope Ukraine won't just sell technologies, cause there are talks about USA trying to get that for 100b. Not a small number, but I doubt USA would appraise their junk fairly, while these tech could be one of the biggest source of income in the long run.

Yeah, and I think it's not about history, it's about mortgage initial payment, which is some% of target property cost.

And the idea that it's bad thing is just stupid. Anyone read about previous housing bubble remembers how people took multiple mortgages because you could let your house for more than you pay for mortgage per month, and as crisis hit, they couldn't repay. It was very much enabled by zero mortgage initial payments.

Try attacking ultra high cost military property in any part of the world and tell me how you did.

What's the public mood? It's a big country and everyone is affected differently. Those who joined army in '22 are drained because there is no end date to their service. Those who found themselves a job that has protection from mobilisation can live more or less normal live, except for sleepless nights due to shahed bombings. Those who are falling into mobilisation group are highly nervous and generally try to avoid going out of home unless needed.

Exhaustion is high, but what's an alternative? I don't see the will to accept surrender. And it's not like trump's direct negotiations lead to anything, the idiot don't understand shit about fuck. He thought russia is talking about territory exchange, but they demand unilateral withdrawal. He thought russia wants direct negotiations president-to-president, but it's not on a table - they suggested to continue Istanbul's talks, where russia offers capitulation, and the level of their delegation is laughable - you can't discuss shit with them because they literally are nobody and have no right to discuss serious subjects.

Love emacs, and have lots of ease-of-life functions and keybinds in it. But the UX of the base editor feels so dated. Like how pointer moves with scroll, how scrolling isn't smooth etc etc
