Russian sure is the more commonly known language than Ukrainian, but the russian invasion of Ukraine has lately boosted the idea that maybe we should start using the Ukranian transliterations instead, especially when talking about places and people from Ukraine - Kyiv/Kiev, Chornobyl/Chernobyl, Zeleskyy/Zelensky, and so on, instead of the way the russian say those names.

Generic in context.

Giving Tesla those trademarks would mean nobody else can call theirs using those terms. Giving both could mean they might argue the terms robocab and cybertaxi were too close and confusing too. But they are all terms we already use for that type of a vehicle.
We didn’t call operating systems windows before windows, and we (mostly) still don’t.

Also the trademark for X is like the trademark for Apple, very narrow in scope. You could start and trademark X as your own pretty much as long as it’s something that isn’t like Twitter.
And many already do exist (and did before musks X)

Because there isn’t a trademark conflict, it’s just too generic of a term to get trademarked in the first place, but it took seven months for USPTO to process the application.

“Tesla applied for the trademark in October 2024 on the same day that it revealed the Cybercab.”

Yes, but there are limitations on switching, iirc something like 6 months between being able to join a different family and so on. They don’t really matter for actual families, but does if you just want to share games with a bunch of friends.

There hasn’t really been anything worthwhile to upgrade to yet. More powerful handhelds do exist, but most make use of APUs that are 50-100% more power hungry, while not actually achieving that much of a performance increase.

Valve is waiting for the next generation of 15W APUs, and meanwhile the new Ryzen Z2 A APU is actually based on the one made for the Deck because it’s still basically the most efficient APU they have.

Uh huh. The man who has donated roughly 100 billion in total - apparently as “tax writeoffs” - including funding the Gates foundation which spent countless billions treating malaria, aids, tuberculosis, polio, hiv and a myriad of other things, hasn’t fixed anything because billionaire = bad.

There are two reasonably good ones, as far as I know - Gabe Newell and Bill Gates.

The rest though… yeah.
The world would be a very different place if every billionaire was anything like those two.

And the tree in question here was over 150 years old, planted by a man that died back in 1890.
Cut down by two 30-somethings.

It’s Oblivion exactly as janky as you remember it, this remaster is a weird mishmash where all the visual rendering is handled by Unreal Engine 5 but the game itself is running using the original engine in the background.
It’s even kinda directly compatible with all the old mods, though most will need tiny tweaks to properly function.

So it can kinda be thought of as “Oblivion RTX Remix”, if you know that tool.

Or just moron numerology. The last tariffs were calculated by taking the trade deficit and dividing that in two. E.g some country imports 10 billion to the US but exports only 5, so trump claimed there was a 50% “tariff” by that country and slapped 25% “counter tariffs” on them.

At least they capped it to a 10% minimum as otherwise there would be a bunch of countries the US should have added a negative tariff for making that stuff cheaper.

In theory.
And it actually probably would be pretty easy to do following US requirements, seeing how lax some of the “Made in USA” labels are:

Made in USA of Imported Parts
…the final construction is done in our country, but all or nearly all the parts have been imported from other countries
Made in USA with Global Components or Global Materials
…the final product is finished in the United States. There could also be a few or no parts of the product that are made in the US, but the majority are made and imported from foreign countries.
Assembled in the USA
…the majority or all of the product is put together in the United States or its territories. …it’s a foreign product, with foreign-made materials that were only Assembled in the United States. -https://www.allamericanmade.com/what-does-made-in-usa-mean/

But the logistics of funnelling $450 billion worth of parts through somewhere else would be basically impossible.
…or they could just lie.

Yep. Getting hit means you are burned.
Back when I was a kid, polttopallo was always what the US calls “Circle dodgeball”, and not the team variant. We have one like that too, with the twist that when you get hit, you run behind the opposing team and can start throwing them in the back. It’s called Kahden Tulen Välissä - between two fires.

In Sweden they have a variation called Killerboll. You probably don’t need a translation for that :)

“All Russia fed us are lies. They’re fake. Russia isn’t as strong as they claim, and Ukraine isn’t as backwards as they say.”

And, nothing has changed. Two weeks march to Helsinki to save those poor backwater Finnish boys from oppression and starvation and all that.

Did you know: the famous molotov cocktail is named such because when ussr was bombing the Finns, they publicly claimed to be dropping humanitarian food aid, and definitely not incindiary bombs. The Finns decided to give them the name “Molotovs Bread Basket” - after the foreign minister Vyacheslav Molotov - and named our incendiary weaponry consisting of a bottle of booze the Molotov’s cocktail, a “drink to go with the bread”.

Also the official name for it is polttoPullo, burnBottle. Definitely not to be confused with polttoPallo, which is dodgeball.

Wasn’t respecting US patents also one of the parts of the US-Canada agreement as well which they now technically don’t have to do anymore, as not having tariffs was one of the requirements?

I mean a microplane. It’s also pretty much a generic term for a plane rasp with that specific style of teeth profile at this point, but this one was specifically one from them.

But yes, it’s a grater.

I almost bought a Microplane today, but the big “Blade made in 'murica!” stamped on it was very helpful at making me leave it at the store.

At least 5 million, depending on how you define rural russia and how skewed the gender & age structures actually are.

Population of russia is 143 million, 35% of which are between 18 and 44, half of which are men. That comes to 50 million, 20% of who live outside the European Russia, bringing the final count to 5 million.
And as only 21.5 million people live in the Moscow metropolitan area, so if everything outside that is counted as rural you’d have over 20 million.

In both cases the issue is logistics, equipment and training, not the lack of bodies to throw in the grinder.

Because that’s not what he did.

The woman was holding a steak knife and refused to drop it, he shot her with the taser which caused her to fall - as tasers are designed to - but she hit her head and died a week later in the hospital. That’s an injury that is always a risk when using tasers against anyone.

Should they be used against 95 year olds with walkers even if they do refuse to drop the knife and continue menacingly inching towards you, that’s an entirely different issue.

I love being woke here in Finland.

I’m not saying someone should…
