BTW, a highly disturbed sleep like he is describing is a common sign of burnout/depression/anxiety disorder. Do not ignore it! There are drugs and therapy, it is worth it. It is double worth it if you have the money to stay unemployed or have other ways of getting some extended rest, at least 3 months. BTW, there is even some chemical signalling pathway explanation for that connection. Or maybe it is hypothesized? IDK, it's above my knowledge level. But the correlation surely is real and strong.

Is this neural-network generated?

The bio makes me think that it is, in fact, written by a machine:

Where is that market meltdown? The FTSE 100 is down a whopping 1% today, and down 3% over the last 5 days. Looks absolutely normal to me.

I'd think they would have cleared them before, instead of blindly laying some pipes in 'good faith'.

Oh I'm sure it's cleared enough around the various pipes and cables that lie on the bottom. But it's still a far cry from the entire bottom of the sea being safe.

Biden himself told they would do it, and "promised they have ways to do it" (from ca 1:20):

The Baltic Sea is very very shallow, with average depth of just 55 meters. It's not particularly difficult to do, sadly :(

"Fun" fact, mostly unrelated: the Baltic sea floor is full of unexploded munitions from WW2, and some (still?) contained chemical weapons.

The real question is whether it's Cyrillic or Latin.

Imagine if it was arabic (to keep the LNG prices up, which everyone in Europe is now buying from the middle east like crazy). That would surely stir some things up.

Nord stream 2 was never operational, Nord stream 1 was in maintenance if I remember correctly. But it raises the question if there are ever going to be operational again..
fffobar · 3 years ago
It was in "maintenance", as claimed by the Russian end operators. Germany has successfully pressured Canada to send a replacement turbine to Russia (violating sanctions), after which the Russians said that the turbine isn't any good, it's missing some documents and they will not take and install it. Then Scholz decided to take a photo shoot in front of the massive turbine, looking all sad. The Paper Chancellor in full glory :D

What does a sound card actually do, besides ADC and DAC?
