Speaking to reporters early Wednesday, Tver Gov. Igor Rudenya said that all drones in the region were shot down and that there was a fire on the ground as a result of debris from a downed drone. As he spoke, loud explosions could be heard in the background.

Is it clear? Seems profitable to own that clay - the pipeline infrastructure connects Asian oil with European markets, and whoever controls it can charge rent and leverage favors. For example, back in the day when Russia used to own it, they tried using it to extort the EU, begging for ridiculous concessions and threatening to shut down the pipeline if their silly demands aren’t met.

in Russia, they call them “democracies”

They would do the same everywhere if they could get away with it. For example, the right wing corporatists of USA are perpetually in pursuit of the deregulation that lets this kind of medical malpractice thrive, and they constantly whine, bitch, and moan when the “deep state” won’t let them.

If you’re baking something that needs exact amounts of certain ingredients, then yeah, a scale is easier. A scale is more accurate, but its slower than using a measured scoop for recipes that don’t require more precision than the scoop provides.

You don’t actually need the full set. If all you have is 1 tablespoon and 1 cup, it will usually be OK to just eyeball the fractions.

Its not any random spoon or cup. We all have measuring devices of standardized volumes.

for example:

The things people drink out of are many different sizes of course, but when the word “cup” is used in the context of a measure of volume, then yes, they’re called “measuring cups”, and the volume is standardized.

Same thing with teaspoons and tablespoons. They’re not just any random spoon - when talking about measurements, they have a standardized volume and you need to use a cheap and ubiquitous measuring device if you want to follow a recipe precisely.

Most people in USA do not have a scale in their kitchen, but we do have a measuring cup and a set of measuring spoons.

heroin dealers too, aka the pharmaceutical industry

Yeah, there’s no good way to shut down the production of alcohol. All you need to make it is water, air (wild, airborne yeast), and food (sugar) and if you don’t have one of those things then you have bigger problems than prohibition laws.

The waiting is how you know its giving you correct answers.

I wonder if it can transmit laser pulses and electricity at the same time? Could it be used to create data cables that use both to increase bandwidth?
