If you talk to a Ukrainian, they will tell you that the war will end when they win the war. I.E. they won’t stop fighting until the Russians are gone.

So if the regions remain under Russian control, the fighting will continue. Given Russia couldn’t conquer Ukraine first time round, it seems unlikely that they will be able to support a sustained campaign against a country that isn’t going to give up, until it’s over. Most likely outcome is that Russia attempts to hold the invaded territory for a period of years and eventually leaves when it becomes untenable for Russian leadership

Why apply that standard to scooters and not to cars? Parked cars are strewn all across the road, taking up much more space. Some sit in the same place for weeks.

The road outside my house is about 3x car widths across, there are private cars parked on either side (2/3rds of the total road space) for the full length of the road. Only one car can fit down the road at once, and pedestrians have limited pavement.

Why get so upset about a few scooters on the pavement, when there are cars literally everywhere in the way

Agree. Cars are a menace to society

Don't know what Giphy has, but creating and sharing a gif from a movie would be fair use and not subject to copyright.

You're not going to watch a movie in gif format, and it would be a derivative anyway.

+6 degrees above the 30 year average in the north pole this year

I knew it was up but that is a LOT

NFTs are obviously a bit silly, BUT, it would be nice if things bought on platforms like Steam, Roblox, Amazon, iTunes etc. were transferable to other games/platforms.

The platform providers would still need to agree that a specific blockchain / NFT is actually the source of truth, and so it's not really trustless. But the internet itself isn't perfectly decentralized either. I could see a future where developers could enable web3 support in their games/apps and allow importing assets, identities etc. between platforms, which would be nice.

Tailwind is popping up everywhere these days. I’m sold on it, but it seems a large number of people really don’t like it…

Johnny Knoxville was 29 when Jackass 1 came out- wow!

Yes but it’s unusable in 99% of apps, so it doesn’t matter how technically brilliant it is

Woah, 4 degrees Celsius temperature rise since 1970. 7 degrees warmer in winter. That's a lot, no wonder it's changing.

If it's just one or a handful of emails, or a small image, attach the image and use it's Content ID to refer to it in the HTML of the email:

<img src="cid:some-image-cid" alt="img" />

pretty much all email clients support it

Once I had a developer use a Meme image as an API response in development.

It was funny, but it was surprisingly hard to explain to stakeholders during demos that this was not the real API response. I think I fielded questions from at least four annoyed/confused people asking why the image was there and insisting that it must be changed before we go live.

I even got follow up emails asking for timelines on when it would be fixed.

So sometimes it's better to just use a real placeholder or something realistic.
