No, we didn't drink any vodka! We just… you know, got tired. Yep — tired 😼

Then again, people fleeing the country — a lot of the ones who left are highly qualified specialists, migrants can replace unqualified workers, but they can't replace those who have left. This is of course reported as a huge economic success as unemployment rates are record low, but in fact it's a ticking time bomb.
Here is a good insight on what's happening economy-wise: https://theins.ru/en/opinion/igor-lipsitz/268146

Sanctions do work, but not the way some expected them to. Some experts are mislead by GDP growing, but it's just a bad benchmark for the type of economy in which the state buys military equipment from state-owned companies and itself sets the prices.
Not a collapse and hardly enough to stop the war, but it was a serious blow. On top of that most Russians don't like to admit that their life got worse — this makes it look like sanctions didn't make a dent, but they did.

Oh, that one for sure! I think there might be others.
This guy: https://www.dw.com/en/putin-associate-opens-russia-friendly-think-tank-in-berlin/a-19372110 is a former prominent Putin's official, I think he still lives and works in Germany and I don't think that this think tank is there for actual research 😏
Of course I don't have definitive proof, but there are good reasons to believe that German political establishment is deeply penetrated. Even AfD, who support Russia in the open, aside — I'm not sure even about others.

@Doreen32128
People have started questioning the war long ago, not many dare do it openly. This is about confiscating property of those who have left — this is supposed to prevent people from leaving.
Some expect a full mobilization after the elections in March — last time it made many flee the country and this time it's expected to be way worse than before.
This looks like countermeasures taken in advance.

Don't get me wrong though, I do realize that a lot of help comes from Germany and I think Ukrainians do appreciate it, but in terms of leadership: making decisions and delivering on them — nah, Germany doesn't look cut out for it, Poland an UK show a lot more resolve, but I'm not sure Poland is up to it and UK has a lot of problems on their own and they aren't a part of EU anymore.

@rvps2001

@martinvermeer
I think it's best to look elsewhere then 😅
Germany has been attempting to weather this conflic well since 2015 and it only turned into catastrophe since then. I'm Russian and to me German political establishment looks like this: some support Russia outright, others don't — but they are all talk. Probably not far from truth — Russia corrupts anything it touches and considering former tight economic connections a lot of German politicians might be compromized.

Something's wrong with my electric kettle — it's like relay got short circuited and it keeps boiling water even when it should be off.
Because of it the logic that makes it heat the water gradually is also defeated and it just starts spewing boiling water all over the kitchen 😰
Luckily, no animals were harmed, but it looked scary!

Oh, there sure are! Lots of modern source ports that support original game files: some are more faithful to the original gameplay, some are more experimental. I remember having a lot of fun playing Doom Legacy in early 2000s — in addition to modern network stack it had lots of graphical improvements like transparency and dynamic lighting. I didn't keep track since then, but I'm pretty sure that there are Doom engines that do even more amazing thing now.

Yep, it definitely did exist, just wasn't as widely adopted. Anyway, SPX AFAIR is very close to what UDP is to TCP/IP.
And I agree, packet per shot sounds realistic, but I can neither confirm, nor deny this — I think we have to look at the source. Or find someone who knows for sure, but that is exactly what original post was about 😆

@jens @urusan
Did Doom even support UDP or TCP/IP for that matter? I think it was IPX/SPX at best at the time 🤔

Mr. T's a hundred feet tall (He's five foot ten)
Arms like trucks, probably punch through a wall
My father said his name and sorta nodded to acknowledge him
Which would in turn confirm that this was not some type of hologram
Big, warm smile earring to earring
From a television toughie to endearing it's eerie
Started rubbing his belly, then a quip for the pups
"It take a place like this to fill Mr. T up"

@selzero
There was time when all my friends who called me more or less often had custom ring tones and most of those were my own music with a couple of exceptions.
My current phone doesn't have custom ringtones for anyone in particular (probably because its phone book is still empty 😅), but the one is uses for everyone is still a track composed by my.

@neural_meduza
Эй, ну хватит обламывать мне кайф, я сам хотел досмотреть! Пока ведь и намёка нет, что это разные люди — все на одно лицо 🤣

@thatguyoverthere The kind of behaviour you might expect from friends doing you a favour… Except you pay them 😏

@nytpu
Well, it works… but no one promised it to work as expected 😉

They should've also dressed him as a riot cop and given him a baton 😂
