I do know how to read an analog clock, but I dont read it subconciously, because my brain works on digital time, so I will have to look at it and then figure out what that time is if it were on a digital clock.
So if I see an analog clock I would rather look at my phone because that is just quicker than doing the conversion.
If you want to know more, look at the video Technology Connections (2?) did about it.
What isnt one today?
With Lemmy you have a selection of echo chambers, so its much more diverse in the end.
Looking back on it, I dont even know how I was able to misread your comment lol.
I am honestly surprised that Ukraine didnt immediately shut them down when the invasion began.
I would say it has nothing to do with environmental regulations, but with lower taxes for the super rich and other stuff like that, which came from increasing influence of rich people in politics.
That lead to increasing poverty, which (combined with lots of propaganda from media owned by rich people) leads to increasingly radical conservative voters, which only lead to more poverty.
His health could have gotten worse, or he finally decided that it just wasnt gonna work out and he should rather quit while winning (and also increasing his parties chance of winning).
Him being dead is just absurd, that would have been reported on instantly.
If you tell me a reason why some AliExpress seller should create fake reviews which appear to come from ukraine or russia specifically, let me know.
You can never be 100% certain of anything.
For me all the signs point to china selling to whoever is buying stuff from them, especially since its not the government or even large conglomerates, but factories and companies of all sizes and shapes that sell drones and other dual use items.
As long as there isnt any blanket ban from the government they sell to everyone, because why would you make less profit if you could make more?
I dont know if there are big price differences when buying wholesale depending on which country you buy from, but there definetly arent any when buying single items.
I also think that china isnt supplying russia because it wants russia to win, but because it wants russia to be dependent on them.
Just look up anything drone related on aliexpress and 90% of the reviews will most likely be Ukranian and Russian.
(I think you might only be able to see the nationality in the app)
While some of those might be fake, I think most of them are real.
I think it is because the exhaust is much cleaner than with diesel or gasoline.
