You are joking about "small numbers of deaths", right?, because this millennia is not over yet.

IMHO, you should replace RF with Turkey. RF was unable to grab Ukraine or Georgia, which were completely unprepared to war.

Yep, but you have bug in your awk one-liner.

Skip learning of sed and awk and jump straight to perl instead.

  $ perl --help
  ...
  -F/pattern/       split() pattern for -a switch (//'s are optional)
  -l[octal]         enable line ending processing, specifies line terminator
  -a                autosplit mode with -n or -p (splits $_ into @F)

  -n                assume "while (<>) { ... }" loop around program
  -p                assume loop like -n but print line also, like sed
  -e program        one line of program (several -e's allowed, omit programfile)

Example. List file name and size:

  ls -l | perl -ae 'print "@F[8..$#F], $F[4]"'

They only way to get rid of mines is to make them useless. Robots can make them useless, because they can spot and disarm or label mines automatically, or just step on them.

It's not true.

Mines are simple robots. They kill for decades after a war. Killer tank robot is much less dangerous.

It's result of frequent shadowban without reason.

It was that way from very beginning. It's Artificial _Intelligence_ , not an Artificial Human.

Previously, Firefox was fine on computer with 2GB of memory and hundreds of tabs. Now, 8GB is not enough.
Comment · 6 years ago
Firefox eats memory. 4GB of memory is barely enough to run browser and show few tabs.
