Article 5 still applies if the country doing the attacking is a member of NATO, right?

So Trump is basically threatening all of Europe with war.

Imagine trying to tell China not to allow visitors from North Korea, Iran, Russia or Venezuela. Ridiculous, right?

Nvidia stock price has been flat since September. Almost 6 months. He’s feeling the pressure.

Oof 😣

Not PieFed I guess.

The cost to industry goes down as the limit increases, so…

Strange hill to die on, man.

Yep, China is quite a hard place to be a tourist.

After failing to get a train ticket we had a 12 hour bus ride once, going to Beijing. The toilet filled the whole bus with stench, only masked a little by the cigarette smoke from the chain-smokers. No opening windows. No reclining seat. Karaoke videos at full volume. Dark outside so nothing to look at yet absolutely no chance of sleep. In the end we were dropped off beside the highway at 5 AM, somewhere in the city.

Worst bus ride of my life. Purgatory.

Yes, you’re right.

Asia rules, that was a time that I always look back on fondly! Crazy stuff happening everywhere you look. Great food, great people, beaches, snorkeling, jungles, mountains. Too hot though.

Pretty much whatever path we choose there’s going to be some kind of regret. Humans are crappy like that :)

Close, but she came with me on the trip. My job waited for my return and lasted about a year-ish after we got back.

The die was cast about 4 months into the trip.

My biggest regret in life is hanging on for another 18+ months to try and work it out.

Exposure therapy?

Start small, do it over and over, gradually increasing the amount.

I’ve done it, more or less - from Bangkok to Barcelona. Some busses when the trains didn’t work out. Occasional boats. One flight (Moscow to Helsinki) for visa reasons.

No one needs that much trains. The worst bit was from Ulaanbaatar to Moscow, 5 straight days and nights of birch & pine trees, eating borsht on an empty train (most people go the other direction). Not doing that again.

8 months of travel.

Things were never the same after that. Didn’t feel at home in my own country anymore, got divorced, was made redundant from my job and couldn’t afford the rent. Wandered around Asia for 5 years, aimlessly. Then covid happened and international travel was out so traveled around locally in a house bus for 3 years.

So yeah. Don’t do that trip unless you’re prepared to go well off the rails. Ho ho.

I’ve been using https://elk.zone/ lately (as a PWA) and it’s really nice.

I even went as far as making a browser extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/uglymug/

God, he is hideous.

Haha Lemmy has way too much Trump news IMO!

it shouldn’t bring you to another site but open the link on your site

PieFed does that, FYI.

The person who is using that character found a way around that somehow! So the next release doesn’t try to restrict it anymore.
