The deal follows the blueprint of the so-called “minerals deal,” a 2025 agreement giving preferential access to U.S. investors through a U.S.–Ukraine reconstruction fund.

That deal has borne fruit, with Ukraine awarding a lithium project on Jan. 9. to a consortium of investors including TechMet, a mining company backed by the U.S. government.

But do they get more missiles? What does Ukraine receive exactly- does anyone know? The original linked article for the “blueprint” says military assistance could be offered.

The boss: “Yeah, can you print that for me to review?”

Years ago Microsoft had its OneNote Notebooks as proper files, you could move and copy them and such. Now it’s nearly impossible to get your hands on a “tangible” file using this software.

During that transition- from usable to shit, I made the mistake of uploading my notebook, with all of my uears of course studies (college, professional certifications, etc) into onedrive. That way it could be backed up! A year later I moved my files again into a different system, moving away from OD. They were MY files after all.

What I didn’t know was that Microsoft had moved my Notebook somewhere else into their cloud, on my behalf, and changed my Notebook file to a shortcut/pointer object. There was no indication it was a shortcut as with other documents (the little arrow) on windows. It looked just exactly like the original file.

Well when I tried to open this “file” I got the rudest awakening: Microsoft couldn’t find the “linked” notebook. “What fucking linked notebook?” Apparently, when I moved my “file” (shortcut) out of overdrive, they saw that as a deletion and DELETED the now referenced file they helpfully moved for me.

All of this without ever a single notification; Microsoft deleted years of critical notes with no recourse for recovery. It was just gone.

Ass holes.

Awesome! Thanks for the vid. I didn’t realize the oil could actually freeze.

Literally freeze? How does this work where they could be shut down for decades?

I’ve been watching landman, but I’m not an expert in oil drilling yet.

He’s buying an exit plan

It’s what they have left.

Edit: They are probably running low on fuel too.

This is what they do, throw multiple conflicting orders at you and when you don’t follow one of them you get shot in the face.

Your logic is undeniable

Are we talking Western hemisphere, Northern hemisphere, or both?

Current neuroscience does not support a simple “chemical imbalance” model with “normal” ranges the way blood labs work. Dopamine and norepinephrine signaling are involved, but ADHD is better understood as differences in how certain brain networks develop and regulate behavior, particularly fronto-striatal and limbic circuits. It’s about signal timing, regulation, and responsiveness- not just having too little or too much of a neurotransmitter.

Likewise, your claims about a “smaller frontal lobe” are oversimplified. Imaging studies show average developmental and connectivity differences in regions like the prefrontal cortex, basal ganglia, and limbic system, but these differences are subtle, highly variable, and strongly overlapping with neurotypical brains. They are not defects and not diagnostic on their own.

Framing this as an adaptation rather than a defect is more than reasonable. Traits associated with ADHD, namely novelty seeking, rapid scanning of the environment, high energy, risk tolerance, and creative problem-solving offered advantages in ancestral high-stimulus environments. What you define as a disorder is a mismatch between these traits and modern expectations, not something inherently “broken” in the brain.

No worries, since I’m sure we’ll all be back there soon enough and we’ll see how well the ADHDers fare.

Not an inability to focus. You conveniently left off the rest of the rest of the quote

No Facebook post, but thanks. ADHD is simply a heightened awareness and inability to focus on tedious tasks for a long time. So, not great for modern society but perfect for living off the land.

You can call it an “imbalance” all you want, but who are you to decide what a “balance” looks like?

This is what happens when people accept what they are told and cannot rationalize for themselves. Your “balance” is from someone who wants you to sit in a cubicle and type on a keyboard all day.

“Hey you!”

Me?

“Yeah you. Get over here and build this tunnel.”

I don’t really follow anarchy (this showed up on /all), but I really like this logo!

Good work.

I don’t know why, but this reminds me of the monopoly game from McDonald’s.

Just a few more value meals…

What are the 14 other indications on this visual?

Yes. In the Us.
