I'd like to correct that it's one million of their soldiers lost in a pointless war, not died. About 2/3 of those losses are severe permanent injuries that render the soldier useless for military use.

The goal of Ukraine is not to kill the maximum amount of orcs, but to neutralize the maximum amount of orcs.

You can see it this way: There are, in any case, about two serious injuries per one death. In human armies it tends to be about five injuries per one death, but in the Russian army a lot of people who would end up counting as "injured" end up counting as "dead", as there is no healthcare available for them. If there really were 1,1 million dead, the total losses would be in the ballpark of 3½ million soldiers. And the Russian military has not lost 3½ million soldiers yet. Therefore, it must be that the number includes also the seriously permanently wounded.

This article counts Bernie Sanders as a socialist, though. This probably follows the same logic as the Democratic party being considered "left" by many people in the US, simply for being less right than the Conservative party.

If someone as right-wing as Bernie Sanders is considered "socialist", then this article is rather worthless for anybody living outside USA.

It's also an illegal home assault. Why does no article mention any criminal reports having been filed?!

Uh, wine tasters?

And, de facto also people whose job is to strike deals for a company. And ambassadors, I'd say.

Oon ollut oikein tyytyväinen e/os:ään. Ainoa ohjelma, joka puuttuu vailla korvaajaa on kyky ostaa HSL:n paikallisliikennelippuja niiden äpillä. Eli matkakortti on pakko olla. Mutta aika pieni haitta se kyllä on!

Gotta love the combination of э and ґ in the same word :P

Whenever I'm going abroad within Europe, for a bit over month before that, I start buying stuff only with banknotes. I put all of the coins made in Finland or (other) Baltic countries in a separate pocket and then make sure to use those during my travel.

It feels nice that people get to see coins that they don't see that often. And at the same time, I'm increasing the relative amount of non-Finnish coins in Finland, which I also think is good, as that helps people here notice that there's more to the EU than just Finland :)

I would guess it's unlikely that all that many other people do the same.

I don't think Lemmy or PieFed really support that yet. The only way is to open your web browser, go to the address of the instance you're interested in and view their Local.

Okay, there just was a review that had pretty much the same content you wrote :)

Sticky Mustache, is that you?

Well.. I'm using an instance that has 10 active users according to https://piefed.fediverse.observer/list :)

I wanted to move from Lemmy to PieFed, because its development is faster than that of Lemmy's and because its maintainers have values I have nothing against and because I want to help a cool project grow.

And then I had a bunch of criteria that I wanted my instance to fulfill, and piefed.ee was the only PieFed instance that fulfilled all of my wishes. So, now I'm apparently one out of ten :)
