For an amusing read on how well their navy did against the Japanese, in 1905, check out Battle of Tsushima.

The Russians lost 5.045 and 21 ships (more captured and/or damaged). Japan lost 117 and 3 torpedo boats.

Here’s an entertaining video on their journey to Japan.

I guess he was ready to play.

PSA: I’m probably old enough to be your father, let me have my terrible jokes/puns.

This reminds me of the early days of the Model S; a friend of mine was an early adopter and he himself was surprised if it went two weeks without having to bring it in for something or the other.

Oh, and the dashboards that would occasionally freeze while driving. Luckily, Tesla knew it was a piece of shit, so you could just press and hold two buttons to reboot it.

11.000 people bought one?! I figured just a few museums would’ve picked one, to display in their abstract art sections, or the “even when we knew how not to we still built shit” section.

Like others have mentioned, what you’re looking for is likely hidden behind the “advanced” button. If not ,you should at least find the bios version number, one you can compare to your old one. It might be they shipped it back to you with an earlier version of the bios, so you’ll have to update it. However, I would not expect a huge difference in the feature set between versions.

Long press image, “open in new tab” (or similar), zoom to your heart’s content .

But yeah, it’s annoying having to do that.

I’m Norwegian and I’ve never really been worried about Russia setting foot over here. Even less so now, after they insisted on showing the world just how incompetent their military is. Lethal and capable of massive destruction, yes, but also disorganized, flailing, incapable of progressing a mile without throwing massive resources at it.

I just don’t see how they would get far anywhere in the Nordics. They might be able to roll across the border into any of the countries, but not with any significant amount of weaponry, and the response from the west would be swift. At least I hope and assume so.

Let’s just make sure Trump isn’t elected and declares his love for dictators, again, yeah?

I had no idea sky daddy didn’t like haircuts. But, you know what, I’m relieved. Now I know I’m going to hell, uncertainty be gone. And… and, I can go sporting a fresh trim.

Oh jeebuz how I loathe pinterest in my search results… “Ah, cool, there’s the photo I’m looking for some more info on…” > “Hi, I’m pinterest, you can fuck right off because there’s nothing for you here”

I’m not familiar with the story you’re referring to, but typically a hard landing doesn’t necessitate a search/rescue team. Unless it’s a very hard “landing” into the side of a mountain, for example.

They’re still on the air?! Wow… I read a lot about it (and Radio City) a couple of decades ago, as I was reading up on the Maunsell Forts. I had no idea they were broadcasting back then, so to learn they’re still on the air now is fun.

They probably weren’t too concerned with the emissions from the leaf blowers themselves, but the dust and whatnot they whip up into the air.

You might be surprised at how many people don’t really know how to use Google/a search engine effectively.

Things like “what should I search for to find X” is a sentence I hear from both friends and colleagues quite often.

I haven’t really played around with anything else since Sync for Lemmy was released, because I’m perfectly happy with it.

“Fitte” is a norwegian word for pussy, so apparently that was all it took to get a giggle out of me today.

Gamle Aker Kirke, church from 1150 (Oslo).

It’s disgusting how many things people can still do without being exposed to advertising.

Loudspeakers: Imagine how many speakers there are in the world, and how often they’re not playing anything. All loudspeakers should always play ads if not utilized for anything else.

Edit: I went hiking last weekend, and while out there the silence was deafening. Out in the wild, where it’s relatively quiet, we’d only need to place speakers every few hundred meters to efficiently broadcast ads to hikers and such.

A couple of years ago I interviewed a guy living in SF who wanted to come over to Norway, to work as a software developer. I asked him why he wanted to make the move and he went on about how he had to get outta there, how he had lost all faith in the country and did not see a good future for himself if he stayed.

At the time I thought to myself that he was being a bit dramatic, but the more I read about how the US is treating its people these days the more I think understand what he was on about.

He made the move, btw.

The cybertruck looks like something a 5 yo mocked up with crayons.

I need to dig up my first grade notebooks… I’m pretty sure I can claim to have designed the Cybertruck in 1983.
