Weren’t the crusades also just a Papal project to reduce the intensity of European wars by dumping excess military capacity into colonising the Middle East?

Okay, but also remove more I guess.

The overall LoC might still be up, but not at this ratio

Yeah, us too, just in good Hungarian fashion, that whole sentence is one word.

We have a story in Hungary from medieval times about a guy who was let off because he had so thick hair, the headsman’s axe didn’t take over three tries.

Am from Hungary, can confirm, all recipes say decagram here.

It also makes sense in a way, you usually don’t eat either kilograms or grams of anything really.

Like you go to the butcher and you won’t ask for 213 grams of meat, or 5 kilos, you ask for 15 decagrams.

That’s the joke.jpg

Mimir is just the DB, no metric scrapers, but it’s distributed and capable of high volume ingestion, retention and querying. Can’t scrape metrics though.

Alloy has no storage persistence, so it’s just the scraper part, but is massively scalable, its basically a Prometheus Agent on steroids. Can do logs, traces, Pyroscope profiles too.

So instead of deploying one server to scrape and store metrics, you deploy one to store and one to scrape.

Mimir and Alloy are two specialised forks of Prometheus

People get one helpful politician, just one…

No, we’ll just consume more.

We’re doing a lot of bullshit. Research shows we could maintain our effective lifestyle while cutting consumption by up to 60%

IiRC it was more so that the Church got actual fiefdoms and wanted control so that potential priestly families wouldn’t just distance themselves into secular noble houses, taking lands with them.

Fiefdoms and related duties originated from kings, so the church wanted similar parallel rights over their vassal priests.

That’s not a sedan though, that’s an SUV. The S60 is a sedan

In my experience it’s often the HR department itself that gets up to this shit

Flevoland was a national scale pseudo conscript construction project on the scale of the Great Wall. Bit more useful though.

The Dutch in the 70s oil crisis told all their freshly unemployed people to grab a shovel or they don’t get unemployment, and now their country is a tenth bigger.

You can’t bail them out, they will still be losing money. It’s not like banks.

The play now seems to be that they will offload the bags on retirement funds and US 401k accounts. The ECB already issued a warning because of this.

That’s the least communist thing I’ve ever heard

Common decency

Okay, but then line goes down and investors vote out the board.

And most stocks are held by a couple big Wall Street firms who own everything, not the public at large.

That’s a very literal translation, it’s means store checkout, bank teller’s window, ticket office or any similar place.
