look up all the weird shit polish immigrants are up to in Chicago. You’d think they’re living in 20s or at least 70s

That’s Wieliczka salt mine, sounds more like a regular tourism and less like pilgrimage. At least it’s not Licheń, plastic-clad tourist trap monstrosity where you have unique opportunity to get scammed by our only televangelist (whose main medium is radio, and is catholic)

Częstochowa is on a hill, that’s a big centuries old monastery. Frequent pilgrimage target

I’m guessing she’s going to Częstochowa?

Welcome to EU! Prepare for a cultural shift:

Considering that everyone on lemmy is 30+ communist tech worker, it’s probably a welcome change

Speaking more specifically about Poland, depending on how you measure, we might have the most rapidly secularizing society in the world Some Americans (catholic fundamentalists) seem to think that you can just barge in, snatch a tradwife and plot of land and live like it’s 50s, but these people are straight up delusional. Introducing ban on abortion, for example, erased full quarter of support for the party that did it (40% ish to 30% ish overnight) and caused largest protests since dissolution of Soviet Union. There are conservative women, but these tend to be 60+

In tech job market specifically, the bubble has ended (like everywhere else i guess), but if you’re a senior or able to keep your current job you’ll be fine (not sure how you’d get residence permit then). You’d need to lean Polish as a practical matter, because while lots of people do speak decent English, many don’t (esp. 50+ and in small towns) and many official matters can be done in Polish only. Like everywhere else, there’s division between more conservative rural areas and more liberal large cities; no one wants to live in the former, even locals, and so most of foreigners live in Warsaw (or Kraków, or Wrocław). It sounds like you’d blend in right away in one of these places. While property prices and rent went up since start of the plague, it’s not as crushingly bad as in, say, Berlin or Rotterdam. Random benefits include ability to pirate absolutely everything without VPN with no consequences and ability to use complaint as a conversation starter

nvidia at least sells shovels, they already made some real profit unlike openai

i think that the only blocked sites are gambling related and not even everywhere at that

How do you know that Threads won’t inject ads as posts?

Still no reason to defederate, huh?

F35-radar-cross-sections.pdf.exe

I think it uses OZM-72 propellant charge, so no

i thought that was because storm shadow had some american components?

american weapons are restricted in that they can’t hit targets deep inside russia proper. this is french weapon, so no such restrictions apply

not very useful, because range is not that long, but it’s something

these things have bigger warheads than GMLRS, longer range than JDAM and just as precise, but require safe passage for aircraft to be launched from. also, no barriers for their use

I don’t know about going downhill in general, but there are some that use regenerative braking (regular braking, on flat terrain) so maybe

wait, 55 years old satellite still has fuel for thrusters?

yeah it’s replacement for google only if you don’t care if any of information received is accurate at all

CANDU-like or RBMK-like design could work for this purpose, but i have doubts about VVERs that they have

fern? germ factories

there were a few stupidly close calls in soviet biological weapons program

2 means “just” removing earth’s magnetic field, van allen belts don’t shield from anything, these are trapped solar wind

5 could have side effect of disturbing ozone layer, on top of, yknow, just suffocating every animal

7 is not even wrong

10 sounds like CIA’s final plan for assassinating Castro: just let him die of old age
