It’s not against the rules, lfg

And absolutely nothing bad happened to Hungary as a result. See how easy that was?

I live in Boston; I am familiar with the Smoot unit lol

That’s… not how SLMB maintenance works.

It is, but Ukraine is still depends on a lot of US military hardware for a lot of important systems that help them hold the line as they’re being invaded by Russia… so this is actually the lesser of two evils. I see it as an insincere theatrical move that orangeboi likes because it’s a thing that paints him in a “flattering” light, despite it being obviously insincere.

But there is a maintenance and support supply chain, which is effectively a kill switch in the long term

They’re… kinda not though. The UK uses Trident SLBMs in their SSBNs. That’s a US missile.

France, on the other hand, rolled their own. It’d really strategically behoove the Royal Navy to figure out how to equip their next iteration of SSBN with M51s instead.

He did kill a pope tho

I’m unbothered by that - It’s lemmy, them’s the breaks sometimes 🤷‍♂️

No - what I mean is that Hungary and Slovakia have been resistant to finding alternative sources to Russia since the broader invasion started in 2022. Orangeboi being a geopolitical fuckwit is incidental, and exacerbated the situation for sure, but as much as I hate the piece of shit he didn’t create THAT aspect of the situation.

Americans will use literally anything except the metric system 😔

You realize that that’s 0% related to orangeboi, right…?

It’s impressive how reliable of a tactic that is lol

Funny how quickly an about-face happened after that shitbag Orban faceplanted in his election 🥰

I am consistently blown away by how many people I know who use their work machines for personal shit. Including really personal shit, like medical things.

Hey, I got some bad news for you: a shitload of corporations - and particularly, every one of the FAANG et al orgs - are surveilling the shit out of their workers, and this is not a new development.

You know that just makes you an antidote (lol) antisocial asshole, right? A ban is absolutely stupid, for sure. But it’s entirely reasonable for people to not want to be around vape smoke of any variety. Not to mention, some people might not want to be around it for, you know, medical reasons.

It’s more about the precedent that it sets than their outright share of global oil trade.

And this is one of the reasons why I won’t move back.

CA is essentially a corporatist technocrat oligarchy with leftist window dressing. But there aren’t any windows, because it’s a data center.
