Crazy how 10 years ago AMD was a penny stock, around $4 vs Intel's $27, and now they're $135 and $20 respectively. I think abt this more than I should because I've always been team red and almost bought it. But now it's too gambly to buy any

It's a bit murkier than this. The EU will first and foremost give this money to itself:

Under the proposal, 90% of the funds would be initially allocated to the European Peace Facility (EPF), the bloc’s mechanism to reimburse weapons delivered to Kyiv, and then to the newly created Ukraine Assistance Fund (UAF). [ x ]

From this language, it's not even clear whether this money will go to procure new weapons or to reimburse themselves for the already delivered ones. It can go either way or be some mixture of both.

Rabid Baltic states + Poland keep closing borders with Belarus and introduce various restrictions. As a response, Belarus introduces a visa-free regime to 35 more (mostly European) countries (Lituanians, Latvians, and Poles could already come visa-free for over two years). It's funny how the Iron Wall turntables have trurnabled.

I doubt this was re the Baltic states specifically. Their politicians say many unhinged things, but if the push came to shove, these countries would fold very quickly under conventional weaponry, and they're too close to Russia to use nukes anyway. UK, Denmark, the Netherlands, on the other hand, that's where the politicians have been particularly dense.. But it's also just rhetoric, imo, even if F-16s come to Ukraine, they'd be too few and low impact to start a WW3.

President Joe Biden has given Ukraine permission to use American-supplied weapons to strike targets in Russia, but only near the Kharkiv region, US officials say.

US concedes Kharkiv region now belongs to Russia

He said:

Representatives of NATO countries, especially in Europe, especially in small countries - they should be aware of what they are playing with. They have to remember that these are usually states with a small territory and very dense population. And this is a factor that they should keep in mind before they talk about striking deep into Russian territory. [ x ]

This is my cat Tofu. About 2 yrs old now, he was thrown outside by the previous owners at some point, lost a few teeth on the streets. He's the gentlest creature I've ever met. Throws himself on the floor so you rub his belly. Lets you stroke his paws. Spends hours looking outside the window, recognizes his reflection in the mirror, and just learns learns learns as he goes. I took him in expecting nothing, but this cat has the best personality I could've ever imagined.

“Thom [Yorke]’s band had a keyboard player — [whom] I think they didn’t get on with because he played his keyboard so loud,” he told NPR’s Terry Gross. “And so when I got the chance to play with them, the first thing I did was make sure my keyboard was turned off … I must have done months of rehearsals with them with this keyboard, and they didn’t know that I’d already turned it off.”

“They made quite a racket, quite a noise. It was all guitars and distortion — and so I would pretend to play for weeks on end and Thom would say, ‘I can’t quite hear what you’re doing, but I think you’re adding a really interesting texture because I can tell when you’re not playing,'” he said. “And I’m thinking, ‘No, you can’t, because I’m really not playing.’ And I’d go home in the evening and work out how to actually play chords and cautiously over the next few months, I would start turning this keyboard up. And that’s how I started in with Radiohead.”

lol damn i sure hope he wasn't just trolling, which is a real possibility too
