Why do you need to learn carpentry? Isn’t it a slot with a big metal blade? Add a rope so you can pull it up, and let it go to make it work…

I don’t screw them in unless it’s in a confined location where the cable is applying pressure to unseat, or if it’s fallen off at least once

He’s no longer the CEO. By your statement, I’m guessing he still has a controlling stake?

Ah, just like Trump united most of the world against him.

You know what? That’s actually a really good take

I mean, yes, Putin should have never begun the war to begin with. Those countries aren’t going to leave NATO if Russia leaves Ukraine today.

Man, to drop decorum, I don’t give a shit about the Russians and angering them. I’m just trying not to give Russia a pretext to do something really fucking stupid. Yes, they can perform false flag operations for their own pretext.

Joining an active war without a prior alliance is an escalation. To keep NATO defensive and not to bring them into an active war, there should be a different agreement signed.

Hell, NK joining the war is an escalation by both NK and Russia. Does this justify NATO adding Ukraine just for them to immediately invoke article 5? I don’t think so.

Regardless of ethics and politicking though, someone HAS to be done to show Russia that it can’t just arbitrarily annex parts of other countries.

Right, but if chooses too Ukraine will likely join NATO and Russia ends up with another NATO country against its land border.

The only reason they would withdraw is if they don’t have enough troops - which they are supplementing with North Korean troops. It’s against Russia’s geopolitical interest.

That and Putin is a crazy guy doing crazy things. Putin may not stop even if it IS in his best interests to do so

Yeah…. I didn’t know my friend had a different last name. I thought she put something obscure as her last name so she wouldn’t be tracked

I mean, it is fraud if you represent yourself as a doctor of a field you don’t have a doctorate in. But for example, you can be Albert Einstein, PHD will a focus in stupid and no one will care

I just delete and report junk

NATO maintains that it is a defensive alliance. If NATO starts adding countries Russia is currently at war with, it becomes an offensive alliance.

That being said, why wasn’t Ukraine added earlier?

That’s probably why NATO doesn’t invite countries at war. What’s stopping Ukraine from invoking article 5 immediately?

I’m saddened to find out that the great folks up at Blue Mountain, ON have lost their jobs.

I mean, you’re not going to use all of them at once. Maybe you have your everyday carry pistol, and a few more pistols that you like to shoot. Maybe you have a few rifles dedicated to hunting for the family. Maybe you have a few rifles that you shoot at the range for fun. Maybe a machine gun or two just to have one.

Hang on, that’s still less than 20.

Maybe he collects them?

Is EAAC similar to EAC where we’ll need a specifically compiled glibc?

Clearly you have never been to China. It can take extra steps to VPN

Sorry I’m out of the country so I heard about it yesterday on lemmy. With big organizations, it’s possible that like the district or region leader didn’t think it’d be a big deal and didn’t pass it on. Or hell, maybe one of them is a trumper and let it go. When corporate found out from the news they tried to do a PR cleanup. Could also have been slow then.

Sorry, I meant corporate

Why is it too bad so sad too late?

The franchisee probably didn’t contact McDonalds before allowing Trump in.

They probably found out the same way everyone else did — the news. Someone had to pass it up high enough and then they issued an inter memo (which they may have gotten before the news) and then the president wrote a letter.

Timing seems okay for me
