It started with a truck loaded with wrongly labelled veal. (Let’s write the light novel now! Reply to this comment with the next sentence!)

I like generic isekais. I think I am through with all the good ones…

I think I read all the good isekai already. Putting anything on my to-read list where people get to other worlds or are levelling.

Sorry for the disappointment 😅

Mangas on my todo list are

• The former top 1‘s sub-character training diary: A dedicated player is currently conquering another world

• My entire class was summoned to another world except for me

• problem children are coming from another world, aren’t they?

• Overgeared

Maybe it’s the creators that delete your comments as well. Doesn’t have to be only YT.

YouTube and Spotify are paying license fees to be allowed to play music on their platform.

That’s long. 😱 For non emergencies I have waited long times. Like 40 minutes or even hours. But when I called the fire department once it came like 30 seconds after I had hung up. And it was just a smoking trash can, nothing really dangerous.

That’s war. You have a victory target and try to achieve that. We do not know the victory target of Russia (we only know the propaganda they are spreading publicly).

The victory target may also change over time with what is realistically achievable.

So it is difficult to speak of winning or loosing without that information.

In a sports game, the teams agreed on the terms before the game started.

PS: I don’t know your step mother. Maybe she is a world class samurai swordswoman. I apologise if my analogy insulted her.

Here, they are less afraid because almost no household is armed. It is a dangerous situation to enter a home, but they always come in pairs and might do so with guns drawn.

But we are talking about very extreme cases. German police shot 14 people in 2017, 11 in 2018, and 15 in 2019. So about the same amount of people that die from lightning strikes. The vast majority of policemen do not discharge their gun in their whole line of duty.

If you compare likelihood of violent crime the bigger danger comes from people inside your house, rather than burglary. Therefore, weapons in houses would make life more dangerous here, since you are less likely to escape your step mother armed with a gun, than your step mother armed with a kitchen knife.

The article states that any gain in substantial ground for Russia would be deemed a victory.

If these are the victory conditions, then Russia is really close to victory. They just have to negotiate a cease fire and uphold it, until the borders become normality and a peace treaty is signed with them.

It is really just a definition of what it means to win and loose.

How long does the police need to arrive at your home? For me in case of an active break in it would probably be around 120 to 180 seconds. So this usually only happens when nobody is home, it’s too dangerous otherwise.

Someone stole my e-bike from the back yard. And I have heard of break ins in cellars. But that kind of crime that you describe is very very rare.

Does that mean that gun ownership is a side effect of a security system that has flaws in itself?

I cannot relate to that. I am 37 years old and I think I have never witnessed violent crime, except in television or on playgrounds (children are assholes to each other!)

I can’t read the article. Need to set up a subscription.

But the title does not sound promising. To be a victor, you first have to define what your victory conditions are. Depending on those, Putin might be right before victory, or light years away.

The only times I see pistols is when I see policemen.

The only times I see machine guns is in the hands of policemen at the airport, or when extremist groups are demonstrating and need protection by the police.

Why would I even need a gun, when hardly any criminal owns one?

The concept of gun ownership is flawed in itself.

I also like to give AI my code and just ask to rewrite it, implementing a cleaner solution and upholding best practices. Most times, there are things that are really an improvement!

I have never encountered this product. Can you give a brand/product name example?

I thought the picture showed a graph 📈 indicating how it is rising over time.

If you write someone an email and include your phone number then it is completely okay for them to call you back.
