Until you get told to implement more reactive features, then it's over. Using Pure JS/JQuery for reactiveness is outright horrible.
The claims I've seen circulating are all insane, such as that Russia did it to avoid being found guilty of contract violations or that they did it to attack the Norway-Baltic pipeline. Note that the Nord Stream pipelines' total capacity is 150+ BCM, whereas the Norway-Baltic pipeline is only 10BCM NG - less than 1/10th.
Russia has gained zero, whereas EU countries have removed an internal pressure point, and the USA has gained a larger energy share. I don't know who sabotaged the pipelines, but the superficial blaming of Russia without any evidence should be criticized.
Lastly, I detest all attacks and invasions of sovereign entities.
No. Debt owed to China is less than 10% of Sri Lanka's total debt. And it owes a lot more to western nations/institutes.
I'm still shocked how this clearly unsubstantiated claim continues to circulate. The so called "China debt trap diplomacy" is a phenomenon mostly fabricated/promoted by columnists with a clear agenda.
> Notable people were using Twitter long before blue checks were a thing
True. Now that I think about it, I most definitely oversold it. Blue-check is a nice to have benefit but notable accounts are still today religiously using Twitter despite not being verified. I think I was focusing too much on the journalist clique on Twitter and their excessive desire for a blue-check.
-- Edit --
Actually, disregard the blue-check comment. I oversold it. A blue-check is actually not that important.
Sure, if you can set a max budget. Otherwise, you'd constantly have to worry about the unbounded cost.
