Aside from the ones wrongfully detained in the US?

This is interesting. I agree that stealing isn’t the right category. Copyright infringement may be, but there needs to be a more specific question we are exploring.

Is it acceptable to make programmatic transformations of copyrighted source material without the copyright holder’s permission for your own work?

Is it acceptable to build a product which contains the copyrighted works of others without their permission? Is it different if the works contained in the product are programmatically transformed prior to distribution?

Should the copyright holders be compensated for this? Is their permission necessary?

The same questions apply to the use of someone’s voice or likeness in products or works.

He warned the European Union against restricting non-EU companies from European defence purchases, saying this would undermine NATO interoperability, slow Europe’s rearming, raise costs and stifle innovation.

It sounds like they are worried about their military industrial complex. The interoperability line is amusing, that’s what nato has STANAGs for, that different suppliers would be able to provide interoperable systems.

Now what happens?

Thanks for sharing this. I have very little understanding of any of this, but it was a facinating read. Please try again and report the results!

Now what?

Depending on the explosive that should not help. Shaped charges are most effective if they explode a little distance away. It might help if it is a shrapnel based explosive.

Still you wouldn’t probably need a shaped charge to penetrate the armor on a BMP-2 which may explain this approach.

Edit: looking at it more, there is some kind of external armor assembly on the sides, but it doesn’t look like ERA tiles.

I was reading the Hail Mary Project by Andy Weir. She finished it on her own, so I must assume it was my reading.

That would make sense if it wasn’t mounted in an upright position. If it was just a transport, I imagine it would be hanging off the side.

I get the sentiment but… When sun isn’t shining the negative prices cause problem for baseline power producers who need to turn off their power plants to avoid the zero to negative power prices.

This causes the power prices to become volatile, since the investments for the power plants that run during the night need to be covered during the night only.

Eventually though the higher price volatility will encourage investments into either demand side adjustability or energy storage systems. This will play out in energy only markets.

The other alternative is to implement a capacity market, which will divide the cost of the baseline production across different production hours by paying producers more for guaranteed production capacity.

I tried doing this for my wife but she called the experience strange. I kind of enjoyed it though.

Is there any other reason for him to hate Mondays apart from Jon being away after a weekend?

Was the person shooting hurt?

I feel like I’m missing a lot of background here…

That’s fair, I honestly don’t know if that would have occurred to me.

There are maybe 6 or so of the cherry trees, counting out the young ones 5 apple trees and 1 plum tree. The apple trees have gotten too big and I have been removing fairly big branches so most of the effort is processing the resulting cuttings. So far I have done it little by little, so it hasn’t been too taxing.

I will probably plant rowans and more smaller berry bushes. Maybe construct some wicking beds for smaller plants.

This year’s effort will be lightening up the canopy to ensure enough light in the lower layers.

Tools I have for this: chainsaw, clearing saw, pole saw, shredder. I also sometimes use a flip saw to process smaller branches as I find the chainsaw… Untrustworthy . I have spent a total of perhaps 300e on the tools, not counting the flip saw - patiently waiting for good used tools to become available and fixing broken ones has served me well. Latest addition is a Klippo lawn mower. Got it for free, spent 40e fixing it and it works now. A new one is over 900. Granted this values my own time at 0e, but… The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.
