If Russia went with the tactical nuke option, the US could respond with a targeted non-nuclear strike of equivalent power. It wouldn't be that hard for them to do.

Those Ukrainians are simply conducting a special military operation to de-Nazify Russia.

Are we talking current strategy or previous strategies? The criticism I initially responded to seemed to be talking about the UK's current strategy (i.e. no restrictions, heavily encourage...

And yet, our excess deaths for 2022 so far are broadly in line with the 2015-2019 average.[/QUOTE]

Because everyone affected died in 2020/2021[/QUOTE]

We certainly fucked up in 2020, but much...

And yet, our excess deaths for 2022 so far are broadly in line with the 2015-2019 average.

Just allowing more immigration seems a lot easier...

What a time to be alive!

I have had RAM go bad on my graphics card before, but this was in the GTX 6000-8000 days, so a very long time ago.

I hear you get even better latency if you use special gold plated RJ45 plugs too.

I did a tiny bit of dabbling in mining with my 3090, the card definitely ran at very low core clocks and could undervolt very well, but keeping the RAM at a sensible temperature was hard, mostly...

The MSRP of a 3090 was like £1200, so one that's £750 and not fucked is kinda a good deal. The only issue is that the 3090 is only slightly better than the 3080 and has interesting thermal issues...

The vaccines were for the original wild type, not alpha. Recent trials on Omicron specific vaccines have shown little to no benefit over the original vaccines.

At the risk of being nit picky, virulence typically refers to how badly something affects somebody rather than how quickly it spreads, which is how contagious it is. So Delta is more virulent than...

To highlight how much current vaccines are not preventing infection enough, a colleague had delta last autumn when he was double-jabbed and has now got Omicron (probably BA.2) despite being boosted....

When it became dominant in the UK is not the point. Pretty much no matter what the west did, Delta was going to appear (because it did so in places that almost certainly wouldn't lock down, not...

Delta first appeared in late 2020, around the time the first vaccines were getting approved for emergency use. It also developed in countries that were, shall we say, ill suited to lockdowns. So,...

Rule of law may not, but morality very much can. The problem with the war crimes that Ukraine's army have committed are, at least so far, pretty scattered and tiny. There's so many arguments about...

As far as Ukrainians are concerned, they're very much making it "us or them" and if it's "them" then an absolute torrent of rapes, murders and theft befall the "us", perpetrated by the entire...

I'd argue that "being dehumanising" is a bloody feature of the description. Look at what those bastards are doing, it's inhumane to put it politely. Describing the perpetrators as a horde of...

Welcome to Russia, there's many good reason the Russian army are dubbed Orcs these days, sadly. The sooner that country is put in an airtight box, the better.

I didn't know it was possible to miss the point so much. Congrats, I guess.

It's all well and good to whine about how we got here, but we are where we are now and going on about lockdowns being the solution is just not true. Covid is seeded in wildlife around the world and...

That can't possibly have happened, Russia eliminated Ukraine's Air Force on day 1!
