The Solidarity movement, started in 1980 as a series of labor strikes, formed into a large trade union and then a political movement demanding workers' rights, actual worker control over means of production, and similar socialist policies. It finally forced and won a public election in 1989 (on the very same day of the Tiananmen square crackdown) which in turn led to the end of communist (and Russian) rule in Poland.

No, there was another one, interestingly at the exact same time, in Poland. They don't like that one either.

The burn to slow it down into a low orbit went too long, which made the resulting orbit too low (so low that it intersected the surface).

No word yet on why the burn was too long.

Reading the card, explains the card.

Enter textless Cryptic Command.

Deservedly so.

Neverball seems far less known than the other ones, but it's really good and has tons of levels.

Are there good UIs/tilesets for Nethack these days?

[–] Noughmad@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Definitely Neverball. My kids and I spent so many hours in it.

OpenTTD is good, so is TuxKart, but both have better closed-source alternatives. I don't think Neverball does.

no one is defending Putin, the US set the stage for the invasion

That has to be the shortest contradiction.

For one, you've got it mixed up which side is wearing the Nazi insignia and celebrating Nazi collaborators and enthusiastic participants in the Holocaust.

I don't know, which side are Wagner and Rogozin on?

For another, the USSR turned the war around in 1943. It would make no sense to call for armistice when you're winning. Ukraine is currently stalled and bleeding manpower and materiel. The counteroffensive is all but done, were it not for Western insistence that fighting continues to the last Ukrainian.

USSR was just as stalled in early 1943, bleeding manpower and materiel, getting massive war supplies from the USA, and the West was insisting that fighting continues to the last Russian. Sounds familiar?

Most of us favor an immediate armistice along the present LOC

This is uncritically supporting the Z operation. It rewards the attacker and gives them absolutely no reason to not try again in 10 years (either in the same country or in another one). It's also what happened in 2014 and you see the results of that now.

Would you favor an immediate armistice with the Nazis in 1943? I surely hope not, but that would be a quick peace, very much like what the advocate for now.

Which is why they all voted to stay in the moment they got the right to vote on it. Right?
