I simply replied to your comment with highlighted word ‘ended’ to prove it did not end it. Now you shift the narrative. Not cool, not cool.

Edit: to add, this famine was not caused by some remnant of problems from previous rulers. It was a direct effect of Soviet policy.

Famines were not ended by soviets take a look at this

First of all, thanks for a constructive comment. Rare find when discussed politics online.

1. In theory, yes, but in practice, it was not like that. A director of a company would earn max 30% more than the low level employees. If you would perform exceptionally, no one would care. And then you would stand in line for 7h to buy a banana because everyone had almost equal amount of money. Don’t get me started. How many years would you have to wait to get a car.
2. On second thought, I agree with you on this one. It’s more a central control and inability for private people to own business and means of production that caused famines.
3. 5 year plan is a horrible example. As it caused a famine that killed 5.7 to 8.7 million people. It’s huge sacrifice for a 118% production growth. Take a look at this article on wikipedia It’s like Russian land conquests through history, yeah great you now have lots of land but at what costs. Blood and bones of your brothers and sisters and all your neighbors.
4. Absolutely, this was happening under Soviet rule. There was a massive trade of favors and bribes. It was not monetary, however. Perhaps someone got some nice cheese from france, so now you can skip line at a hospital. Or perhaps you know a guy in crimea that could host your friend in a beachhouse, and your friend happens to be in charge of allocating appartments so you get one a bit nicer than the other people. Source: geneactions of stories of grandparents, aunts, uncles, and great grandparents. I’m from a country that was a former Soviet state.
5. Fair point.

Why do you think? Because if you go against it you go to jail.

Pure comunism sounds nice at first glance, but it also has major issues. Under comunism every one is equal, however inherently people are not equal and should be rewarded accordingly. What this leads to is that high performers are rewarded as much as lazy bums. This causes stagnation in production output as why try hard when you can chill. And as history tells us with Soviet Union, can lead to massive famines. It also creates parallel economies of bribes and favours because well connected and productive people still want to be above every one else, this gives unfair advantage mafias and criminals. As they have no moral problem abusing these parallel economies.

In my opinion, no pure system is good if it’s comunusim or capitalism. You have to have a bit of everything like in Scandinavian countries or some Western european countries. You need to reward high performers but not too much. You need to take care of the weak and sick but do not make it that it’s not worth working. You have to allow equal access to education no matter your background so everyone has the same starting point.

They believe if you do not earn money or earn insignificant amount then you do not deserve to vote or have a say in politics. You can estimate their thoughts and actions based on this simple starting point.

Interesting! Back then I had a playstation and a pc. Never have i ever had a patch for any of the games i owned. The magazine mostly had demo versions of games, freeware or sometimes even a full version of a game. However never seen a path! Perhaps i was an ignorant kid not aware of such features.

No patches in those days. Back then when you buy a game it’s in it’s final form.

In terms of privacy reddit has it better(still bad but better than Lemmy) because your content is locked behind a paywall only few companies can access. On the other hand, any one can train their AI on Lemmy posts and access all history of all users freely. The difference is that on lemmy only the companies that collect your data profit, while on reddit also the owners of the platform (reddit itself) profit.

If you do not work with dynamics, for statics there are still a lot of encounters with deferential equations. Euler-Bernoulli Beam theory or plate and shell theories can be used for times when you want to solve more complex problems for which predefined equations do not exist and you do not have access to expensive fea software.

Pretty much anything dynamics related. Starting basic displacements, velocity, acceleration integration for simple dynamic systems to more complicated equations for wind and spinning rotor interaction induced vibrations in wind turbines.

The my mentioned “all of it” includes excel :) but nowadays we a bit by bit transition to python

You can always try to pivot from project management to actual engineering. I am load engineer for wind turbines and everything is time dependant and dynamic. For past 10years i use every bit of math I learned is school and uni.

I guess depends on engineer

As an engineer i literally use all of it daily.

Regarding the latin words starting with a letter W the bot is correct. You asked for words starting letter and not with the sound W. All before you are correct all after i did not read :)

Which tracker?

It did make errors, also the training of it is old it’s unlikely that it seen the images

Conclusion it sometimes gets fooled :)

Tried it on chat gpt 4, here what it thinks:

This image is a collage that alternates between photos of Chihuahuas and blueberry muffins. The arrangement is such that it plays on the visual similarities between the two, with the muffins and parts of the Chihuahuas (likely their faces) mimicking each other in color and texture. This creates a humorous effect, as it can be initially challenging to differentiate between the muffins and the dogs.

Starting from the top left corner and moving left to right, row by row:

1. Blueberry muffin with spots resembling a dog’s eyes and nose.
2. Face of a Chihuahua with a similar coloration to the muffin.
3. Blueberry muffin resembling the face of a Chihuahua.
4. Chihuahua face with a light fur color matching the muffin’s surface.
5. Chihuahua face with dark eyes and nose similar to blueberry spots.
6. Muffin with a pattern that resembles a Chihuahua’s facial features.
7. Chihuahua with an expression and coloring that echoes the appearance of a muffin.
8. Muffin with blueberries and coloring that looks like a Chihuahua’s face.
9. Chihuahua with a facial expression and fur colors that mimic a muffin’s texture.
10. Muffin with blueberries mimicking the eyes and nose of a Chihuahua.
11. Chihuahua with features that resemble the spots on a muffin.
12. Muffin resembling a Chihuahua’s face in color and texture.
13. Close-up of a Chihuahua’s face with colors similar to a blueberry muffin.
14. Muffin with a pattern of blueberries resembling a Chihuahua’s face.
15. Chihuahua looking directly at the camera, with fur colors like a muffin.
16. Two Chihuahuas close together, with their heads resembling muffin tops.
