the British navy is in that bad a state?

yeah, the US is burning so much good will, it’s insane

thank you, I am giving you a smiley face back: :)

So, I work with toddlers, and this sounds a lot like a tantrum

ah, duh, yeah - the share shrunk but the pie grew so it’s still a bit more cake

it does look a little better, but I still think it’s messy

well, the first thing is that you might want to update the instructions for finding the themes folder. In Gimp I had to look under preferences-interface-theme to find the folder – and even then it was a bit of a journey, since I installed it with flatpak, so the folder ended up being in /var/lib/flatpak/app/org.gimp.GIMP/x86_64/stable/5c600asdghjsd0cfe6e9e5bcf71a2e8a1a7e0ca018f43aabfa38dc12bd0954034f06/files/share/gimp/3.0/themes/

…while the Gimp settings just say app/share/gimp/3.0/themes/

“real GDP per capita more than doubled in this time period which means consumer spending also doubled”

GDP measures a lot of things that are not consumer spending.

Nice, I’ll check it out

dude, at least screenshot the same palette

no, I’d say Blender looks a lot better. I tried to find a roughly equivalent palette for comparison:

The sad thing is that they just might. The Brits (and the rest of Europe) need lower energy prices

Those three are all real factors, but I think you are exaggerating their size and importance.

The increase in oil price and softening of US sanctions will benefit the Russians, but it won’t make the war economy sustainable.

Western armories are running bare, but the same is true for the Russian ones. Both Ukraine and Russia are mostly using equipment as it’s being produced, and both Ukraine and the rest of Europe has been ramping up production capacity. I imagine you’re right that it’s worse for Ukraine to lose access to American air defense systems than it is for Russia to lose access to Iranian Shaheds.

The high energy prices are a problem in Europe, but compared to the situation in Russia (or Ukraine, for that matter) there’s nothing EXTREME about it.

The reason peace negotiations have been hopeless, is because the Ukrainians and the Russians can’t agree on where the war is headed. The Russians believe that if they just keep going, the Europeans will get bored and give up, while Ukrainians believe that they can keep going longer than the Russians because they are supported by a European economy that is not in an unsustainable “war mode”.

Who is right is up to us, and given that every single demand that the Russians have is against some pretty fundamental international law, it is in the interest of future European peace to ensure that the Ukrainians are right - and to make that as obvious as possible to the Russians so that peace negotiations become possible.

hehe, I wish, but no, the starting salary is more like $55 000, increasing to about $65 000 as you get more experience.

Alright, I’ll bite. How does the war with Iran “seal Ukraine’s fate”?

Trump has taken the US as far out of the war in Ukraine as the American people will let him, it’s not great for peace, we should all have ramped up the aid a lot earlier, but to say that the US is participating in the war… that’s really stretching it.

at minimum it would be nice if they just looked at the spacing and organization of the different palettes. This does not look tidy… or professional, really. It looks cramped and messy.

Not my experience, at least not here in Norway – in fact, there’s been a pretty big backlash against the digitalization of childhood in schools and kindergartens, so I’d be very surprised if there’s any increasing pressure on us to use computers at all with the children. A colleague of mine put on some movies a handful of times in December, and even that caused some concerned messages from parents.

yeah, I was very pleased to spot some libertarians the other day, dunno if they felt the same :)

Being a kindergarten teacher is not really something that AI can help with.
