Primarily defining what extractly is an observer or the point of wave form collapse I suppose.

Solution is stop using delivery services.

No joke, 50th anniversary of the first F16 flight is coming up very soon.

Granted the guts of that plane have been upgraded over and over, but still.

My Plex is ready.

I own the push mower version.

That was true of the first gen batteries. They lasted a year and then stopped holding a charge.

There are second gen batteries that seem to be holding up better, I'll be going into my third year with them soon so we'll see.

They are more efficient than pure ICE vehicles though in most situations.

At low speed and city driving the regenerative breaking can make a 30mpg motor into a 50-60 mpg motor.

I drove one for awhile and the efficiency is noticable.

Sounds like she was punished to me.

Good. Influencers are a plague.

I never watched x-files when it aired.

I tried to watch it a few years back but only made it to season 2. Maybe it gets better later, but the show was so formulaic that I grew bored of it pretty quick.

Eh, I'm here to relax and have fun.

Not be told I'm a piece of shit who deserves to be executed because I had the audacity to be born every ten minutes.

If anything, that supports the idea that the poll numbers should be even harder against the war than they are reported.

It was all part of an effort to economically hurt Russia in response to the war.

Best case scenario was Russia deciding the hit to their economy was not worth the war and back pedaling. No one realistically thought this was going to happen though.

The next best case scenario was for the changes in quality of life for the average Russian would create enough internal pressure that the war would be called off.

This hasn't happened yet but internal support for the war has been dropping over the last year and some of that is attributed to the dismal state of the Russian economy, which is a direct result of things like Lush pulling out.

And even if neither of these come up fruition, the more Russias economy is damaged the harder it is to fund their war effort. This gives Ukraine a bit more breathing room in their war effort.

While the effect of a single company like Lush is unnoticed, it's the collective effect of everything from these pullouts, to trade sanctions and other soft power diplomatic plays which total up to a noticable effect.
