Not sure if it's just the Tass being Tass - but somehow her statements are totally missing the debt crisis.

Total corporate debt has reached RUB 86.2 trillion (about US$1.1 trillion), up 65% compared to the start of the full-scale war. Nearly half of this debt is owed by Russia’s 78 largest companies. One in six of them spends over a third of profits on interest payments, while 8% of the total debt is owed by companies that cannot even cover their loan servicing costs.

Even though she claims inflation is falling (to 3-4% nonetheless) The Bank of Russia interest rate is still breathtaking 20% tradingeconomics

You have a really good spelling for an American.

Also let me use this opportunity to welcome you to the Fediverse - as your account is less than 24 hours old.

A bit misleding:

• there is no doubt Russia tried to influence US elections in 2016
• the uncertainty is about whether Trump actively cooperated with them - which he didn't have to - and very likely didn't.

I love this part (end of the article):

As the Iranian Armed Forces pounded Israel and its military and industrial infrastructure, using many new-generation missiles that precisely hit the designated targets, the embattled regime was forced to unilaterally declare a truce deal on June 24.

Nazi proxies led by jewish president. You are really smart and definitely not a looser.

I wasn't paying that much attention, I hope I am not badmouthing mozilla, but I believe I had the same experience with snap install of Firefox on current xbuntu. Maybee a month ago? I am using DDG by default and always remove Google from the search engine list. The thing updates, I do a random search and get the google screen asking me all the questions about cookies and privacy I simply don't know how to answer. I go into settings and find google set as default search engine. What is even stranger, I can no longer remove google from the list! This seems to me so ridiculous I decide it has to be a bug I am happy to report that when I've noticed next update (becase those annoying tabs informing about new features) - I was again able to remove google from the search engine list.

Mozilla acts pretty scary nowadays - maybe naively - I am pinning my hopes on Ladybird.

I am (also I suspect) visiting the WebToons site from EU and not only that I've failed to replicate the registration issue ( none required 🤔) - there is an RSS feed 😎. I don't think it's my UBlock on FFox fork as the site looks / acts the same on Safari on MacOS....

True. It should be notes though that India has its own "Gaganyaan" space capsule with it's HLVM3 rocket. First uncrewed test flight hopefully 4Q this year and first manned fight planned for early 2027. But there have been delays before - space is hard.

I've been only able to complete the game with the hunter, but I've just recently managed the same w/ cleric in IMO way too few tries (like 3-4? I may have been lucky). What I like about him:

• you get the "guiding light" from begining. It does some damage and guarantees first hit, you can upgrade it - that is enough for most enemies at least first 5 levels used sensibly.
• you also get the "holy intuition" ability to determine if an item is safe to use - for little cost. This allows me to be much less conservative when using new weapons / armor since I usually don't get to learn how the scroll of remove curse looks like before level 5. That is so much of a gamechanger for me, I'm almost afraid the ability is going to get "nerfed" - at least get costlier .
• around level 5 you get to the "sunray" or something - cheap and practical - lasts like 6 turns -I use it all the time, does some damage and the enemy really doesn't see you until you are one block away. great for ranged enemies. You can blast somebody w/ it and just run away.
• and finally you get "some spear" - I don't really reacall the name - that allows you to "raiders of the lost arch" style one shot pretty much anyone you don't really want to bother with. Quite usefull above level 20. That one is slighlty costlier though.
• and than are the honorable mentions like the ability to walk through fields of traps "devine sense" , and "recall inspiration" that sounds interesting but I've never managed to use it...

Edit: sorry - got carried away - in case of tengu I suspect I've been lucky enough having strong armour (i've identified all of them thx to the intuition feature an wearing it / some scrolls of identify - i don't use spells of upgrade until i get to the metal armour - if i can help it) and as usually I've brought every ranged / throwing weapon i've managed to pick up along the way and had the book charged up and had some potions of health for fighting while being aflame...

They are operating exclusively Boeing 737 variants ( afaik 600+ planes) to save money by symplifying maintenance and pilot training. Adding another new completely different plane into the mix (one noone outside china knows how to maintain or fly) would add lots of costly complexity and overhead they can do without. They would have to fully switch only to single COMAC plane variant for all future purchases to make it make sense and imo they are nowhere near beaing ready fot that kind of commitment.

Amen. Shout it from the rooftops!
