Why are you crossing out China?

Did you miss the massive investments China is doing there, to buy influence?

Here's one: https://www.businessinsider.com/satellite-photos-show-byds-massive-hungary-factory-taking-shape-2025-4

This is the sort of stupidification of issues that we see from bot farms: cherry pick one point, then blow it out of proportion so that there's no more nuance, no more gray, no room for middle ground.

Everything becomes black and white, polarised, simple: with us or against us.

Fucking moron.

This just hands over an EU country to the Russian and Chinese influences, which is why Hungary is where it's at in the first place.

This is the kind of thing that needs covert counter-ops: undermine and question orban at every online forum, constantly make Putin look bad, push against every single government policy, etc.

So basically what they're doing to every other western nation.

Wait. Wasn't that advice what caused the timeloop?

Damn...

Other than the antiquated grammar, there's no difference. It's got to have been written by someone high out of their mind (moreso than Snoop Dogg even)!

Maybe the French word does have that origin, and other languages adapted it "differently"?

In Italian for example, this is called cooking "al cartoccio", where paper is "carta" and butterfly is something else entirely.

I was trying to check Larousse but it keeps blocking me so meh. Perhaps both are true, as you said.

Oh. I thought it would be more impressive, but that's still orders of magnitude away. Thanks!

40 years sober and attends AA. What a legend.

That's addictions. You don't get "cured": you keep fighting them every single day, until you fall off or fall over.

These are his policies:

rent freeze, making city buses free and raising taxes on the most wealthy

If this goes ahead in NY, you can be damn sure that it's going to stir the pot.

Millions thrown away just so he can fold over.

The US PACs system is absolutely broken...

 

Just saw the post about Helsinki opening several bridges for a similar purpose, so thought I'd share this here as well.

Porto Metro system didn't exist until around 20 years ago. Just last year, it carried more than 90 million people, and it's not stopping.

While traffic in Porto has actually gotten worse, as tourism and building rehabilitation have exploded, the investment in the metro continues.

This bridge is part of the new "Ruby line", and will provide another much needed way of crossing the Douro river, and will be exclusively used by pedestrians and cyclists, along with the metro.

This line is great because it will connect the other existing lines to a university campus and a large shopping center, while serving a fairly high density area where the residents mostly work in Porto, and have to commute daily.

 

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to control a "dumb" led light strip segment with an ESP-01S. This is fairly low current, the strip will pull 150mA-200mA max (depends on... artistic? needs).

I have two NPN transistors (2N2222), one to control the 12V supply to the white "channel" and the other the red+blue (don't need the green).

I had to pull-down the gates as I had some flickering, and it works perfectly if I manually connect the GPIOs after the ESP-01S boots.

The ESP will boot if I have the RX pin (GPIO03) pulled down on boot, but not if I pull down any of the others.

I'm not smart enough to come up with a way to have that extra pin I need to be high only during boot, while the gate it's attached to needs to be pulled down...

Any thought, other than getting something with more IO pins?
