oobayly.bsky.social @oobayly.bsky.social · 3hI'm of the opinion that it's not done to relieve diesel shortages or reduce prices, it's done so that trump can say "look at Ukraine destroying Russian fuel infrastructure - Zelenskyy is directly attacking our energy security". It's an excuse to further reduce support for Ukraine. 2100

oobayly.bsky.social @oobayly.bsky.social · 09/10/2026It's going to be a pathetic sight. Are they going to wheel him out on his wheelchair, or lift him onto a chair, or just start with him sitting a chair so that ~6 soldiers can shoot him. Very "low-T". They're going to turn a murderer into a martyr while they struggle to beat Iran in a war of choice. 1120
oobayly.bsky.social @oobayly.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Everyone's taking the piss, but I'm seriously impressed she's able to stand that still, at that angle and not fall over.

oobayly.bsky.social @oobayly.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Whenever I see these kind of videos, I always think of this joke about Stalin. The "righteous citizens" never seem to realise that their complaints say more about their thoughts than anybody else's. 0121
oobayly.bsky.social @oobayly.bsky.social · 07/10/2026When I write to relatives in Germany, I will use an LLM to check my grammar. But it's to learn what I've done wrong (damn you German cases). I still send my original text (with some obvious mistakes corrected) because it's a personal message. I know that they know that my German isn't perfect 010
oobayly.bsky.social @oobayly.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Interesting. I feel I'm going to end up in a deep dive as to why Plutonium was used over Americium, although I suspect it'll come down to cost and availability. 010

However I'm just as comfortable coding on its 14" keyboard as I am on a full size desktop one. Big plus on the build quality too. 140
oobayly.bsky.social @oobayly.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Some may think it begs the question as to whether it's a real word or not, but for all intensive purposes I think it's a mute point. 120

oobayly.bsky.social @oobayly.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Of course they need full fibre broadband. They have bugger all phone coverage even though the area is pretty bloody flat. I'm going to hazard that they didn't want to suffer the ignominy of having a tower anywhere near their village. 040

oobayly.bsky.social @oobayly.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Does anyone know, when these "hard men" end up crying in court, is it because reality has just dawned upon them or is it because they're trying to evoke sympathy? 000
oobayly.bsky.social @oobayly.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Army friends who served in NI would talk about squaddies, an RAF mate would talk about warfare officers. A German relative who flew Tornados described himself as having "defended Europe" (which is a little arrogant, but then he was a fast-jet pilot, so that's to be expected!) 010
oobayly.bsky.social @oobayly.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Granted I haven't served, but the "Warrior" thing seems fairly new - I've never heard various family & friends who have server (UK/DE/IE) use it. From a civvy point-of-view it evokes a gung-ho attitude, rather than a well-trained soldier. Is it used in other militaries, eg Denmark? 100
oobayly.bsky.social @oobayly.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Possibly preaching to the converted, but this has happened to me so many times with filling out support requests or bug reports online that I type things out in notepad and only then paste them into a web page. I do not trust web pages to submit, which is awkward seeing as it's my job. 020
oobayly.bsky.social @oobayly.bsky.social · 29/09/20265+ Iranian terrorists that tried to blow RAF Fairford after arriving in a small boat has probably helped matters. We know it's utter bollocks, but it's made reform look strong & the government look weak to the people who to believe this shit. 000
oobayly.bsky.social @oobayly.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I went to a (the) Methodist secondary school in Dublin. The daily assembly had a hymn, prayer and short "sermon". Non-Christian pupils would stay in the adjoining library until the Christian portion was over, and would filter in. It's not hard to do. * must have some pressure on the chaplain. 011
oobayly.bsky.social @oobayly.bsky.social · 28/09/2026In Ireland it's dyed green, which has the benefit of making it harder for cross border smuggling. I don't believe it was selected for nationalistic reasons. 020

oobayly.bsky.social @oobayly.bsky.social · 28/09/2026It's exhausting. I now just assume photos/screenshots are made up, especially if it's something emotionally evocative like this. 191
oobayly.bsky.social @oobayly.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Somebody tried to enhance a frame from the AI-171 crash video.

oobayly.bsky.social @oobayly.bsky.social · 27/09/2026It's most likely the mandated artificial noise emitted at low speeds.
