This also seems a convenient bit of propaganda, of course they would say that to scare the Russians.
If it’s true, it’s a really cool feat of engineering though! Can’t wait for the fog of war to lift and see what cool civilian applications all this drone tech will have.
I have some better quality kitchen knives I like keeping sharp.
I use a two-sided whetstone 400/2000 grit for basic shaping (400 is akin to those rolling sharpeners, to be used only when you fucked up real bad), a leather strop with green sharpening paste (~6000-8000 grit) glued to a piece of wood, a plain leather strop, and a honing steel.
Green sharpening paste is most of what I ever use, a couple of strokes weekly (more realistically about 20 once a month), and maybe polish it up with the plain leather strop. Keeps the knives wicked sharp, and then I just hone them after each use.
Sometimes I do stupid things and get burrs in my edge (like cleaving frozen bone), that’s where the 2000 grit saves me.
400 I guess is for when the apocalypse comes or your kids decided to practice chef’s knife throwing into scrap metal. It’s nice to know I can remake a whole edge, but rarely used.
UwUpeans, so great, and so horrid at the same time.
You sir/madam/gentlebeing, are a most delightfully twisted individual.
You’re right, I’m mixing Russias population with the US.
Worldometer figures put it at 3,8 : 1 though
They’re currently recruiting/pressganging as much, so they’ve clearly chosen war of attrition against Ukraine that just don’t have the population to sustain it. I think the population ratio of Russia : Ukraine is about 4 : 1, and Russia keeps stealing people from allied countries as well.
Edit: corrected ratio to 2024 population
The 7th lesson will be revealed in our FREE three-part email course.
Tl;dr:
Bathtubs started small due to size constraints of rooms, but got smaller because it’s cheaper to manufacture and handle smaller tubs.

We’re learning in real time that the ICC and UN are great tools, until they disagree with you, at which point they can be ignored and even threatened.
Sounds like great news, no?
Just as we had a time before fungus digesting plant matter, we’ve now had a time before fungus digesting plastics.
“Soon” we’ll get bacteria and insects doing the same, and all our plastic buildings will need to be protected just as the wood ones.
I stand corrected
I agree, and that’s why they’re outlawed.
Unfortunately, Russia decided early on that international law and relations are an acceptable price for their war. That means some bad stuff will come their way as well, and very little sympathy will be heard from the rest of the world.
I’m only happy to help <3
Grow the fuck up, most of us realise at about 3 years of age to share our toys and world with others, why haven’t you?
(they’re awkwardly asking for a poly 'shipping, most probably as a way to express that you guys are too cute :)
Could be what you describe. But all those things are also hallmarks of a superstitious mind, especially if under duress or long indoctrination.
Not being allowed to question or reconcile things causes internal stress, not being allowed to express certain emotions and thoughts also adds to it. It doesn’t help that many of them are radicalised into driving an agenda.
I’m not expecting to live long enough for that kind of drama, so I simply blocked them. If they’re abusive, please report them before blocking, they might be dragging all of Lemmy down and not just this thread.
I agree, but a lot of parties try to co-opt the word to mean other things, which I find less useful.
A quick look at their posting history shows that they’re indistinguishably close to a troll. Their response as well.
And how do you know that? Through magic?
If you have issue with me using only 12 - 18 centuries old definitions, I welcome you to have this talk in pre-christian times, although I might be busy then.
But in SI you can easily (and metrically) translate it to volume/s, which would then probably be less cumbersome.
