Motorola is originally a US Company and was bought by Lenovo. Lenovo is bit of a special case for a Chinese company, it's very international since they bought IBMs PC business. Lots of offices and employees outside of China.

I'm a bit worried they're going to strike hospitals to finish off the injured.

Pagers can receive messages without producing radio signals themselves, so are impossible to locate.

Well in theory anyway, pagers that can also send do exist.

Ukraine is now losing ground in five different sections of the front line simultaneously. In Kursk, near Kupiansk, around Chasiv Yar, near Pokrovsk and near Vuhledar.

Can't remember any source that wasn't just speculating about this. I don't think there's any evidence you could cite at him.

My own theory: If you were to blow up the dam for defensive purposes, you'd want to blow it up after the enemy had already crossed in significant numbers, but the only thing going on there in the weeks before was the occasional Ukrainian recon unit maybe doing prep work.

If, on the other hand, you were planning an offensive across the river, it might be smart to preempt this by blowing up the dam before you attempt to cross. Now, it would of course be total stupidity to do an offensive across the mouth of the Dnieper, even after the dam is blown. Nevertheless, the Ukrainians sent elite units to conquer and hold a bridgehead there after the flooding had subsided, and only gave up a couple of weeks ago.

The thing was also blown up two days before the start of the greatest Ukrainian ~~spring~~ summer counteroffensive. pepe-silvia Coincidence?

I have actually chilled out a bit on this. Russia is winning and this escalation isn't significant enough to change that. Russia isn't desperate at the moment, and therefore the cooler heads should easily have the upper hand against any nuke-crazy maniacs.

It's still an escalation obviously, so unless someone gives in at some point, we're all going to die. It's just that right now, I don't think the Russians have any reason to even consider going nuclear.

Figure out first if this is a dwm problem. Does it work in openbox (or whatever)? What does xrandr say?

There's some bs story spreading among maga Karens about Haitain immigrants stealing people's pets to eat them.

It really is.

Every thread right now on reddit is lamenting that Germany (and the US and everybody else) is deliberately making Ukraine lose by not sending more stuff, because they still cannot fathom that maybe they're actually out of stuff to send. They'd rather believe that the West in conspiring with Russia to make Ukraine lose, than face the reality that NATO cannot produce shit. Articles like this one are few and far between, so I understand why they'd come to that conclusion. If you think NATO is super OP, then the only explanation is that they don't want to do anything, rather than that they can't.
