BERLIN — Russia OFF The Swift Global interbank Payment system but must calculate The consequences for its Economy First, Finance Minister Christian Lindner Said on Friday.
“We are open, but you have to know what you’re doing,” Lindner told journalists after a meeting of The European Economic and Financial Affairs Council in Paris to discuss sanctions against Moscow after Russia ’ sa invasion of Ukraine.
From what I've heard, they're speaking tomorrow and everyone's waiting to see where they land on the final SWIFT decision.
No surrender and absolutely zero negotiations. Period. We need to flood Ukraine with weapons and gear, slap on crushing sanctions, and go full scorched-earth on the Russian economy until their regime collapses—even if it hurts everyone's wallets for a while. This lunatic isn't going to stop until he gets his way in Ukraine, and I think we all see that clearly by now.
Putin actually pulled it off—he managed to isolate himself just enough to unite the West and most of the world against him, all while using those blatant threats to stir up massive debates about Sweden and Finland joining NATO.
God, I love walking home with my groceries from Whole Foods and passing some absolute moron who’s parked so badly he’s taking up 90% of the sidewalk, so I just "accidentally" fold his side mirror back since he was too lazy to do it himself when he hopped out. Especially during the holiday rush, these parking geniuses really come out in full force.
And then you've got some mom with a stroller stuck having to walk in the street or dodge traffic entirely because of these idiots. Honestly, someone needs to knock those poles down and call it a day.
Finally getting my hands on that Milda sorta mali prasak FLAC! 👍
Milda sorta mali prasak is killer, just like blojski rapsodija. Man, I really wish they’d lean harder into that synthwave vibe though.
Dennis Hall41 said:What's the deal? I still don't get the hype—all they do is sing in some weird regional accent, and honestly, I'm not even sure if it's actually a Bračanin accent since I spent nine summers vacationing out there and it doesn't sound anything like that.
Listen to me, that's definitely a Bračanin accent, take it from a real Bračanin.
When is the next album coming out... ugh...seriously, when can we expect new music?
I’m listening to them basically every single day; they’re always on loop in my playlists while I’m driving or just cruising around town. It’s such a vibe hearing my local accent blended so perfectly into the tracks. That last one, Bobovišćica, is absolutely killer. It's freaking legendary.
At this rate, I'll see you guys in 2046 at Mount Rainier, because I doubt the world is ending anytime soon.
Honestly, these GPU and RAM prices are absolutely disgusting. It’s making me want to just hold off on buying anything in the hopes that things actually settle down soon. PC gaming has turned into such a luxury, it's ridiculous. You can't even put together a decent entry-level gaming rig without dropping way too much cash.
Prices are jumping around every single day whenever some vendor feels like it. Total joke.
So, I'm gonna play around with the dimensions and my budget a bit to see what actually works best for me. Honestly, I might just sit tight and wait for a while since there's zero rush to grab this stuff right now.
The main thing is just getting a rough idea of what I can actually score and how much it's gonna cost me.

I caught an edit where you mentioned the Fractal Nano sa ITX. Honestly, that feels like a massive case for an ITX build... I’d probably lean toward this mATX case instead since it’s similar in size, plus you'll save a decent chunk of change on the motherboard and the case itself. Also, those 60GB SSDs just don't make sense; they're only like 20-$10 cheaper than the 120GB ones, which is pretty much the same deal you get with hard drives.
How much extra am I looking at for a motherboard paired with an SFF case?
The case is a huge deal for me because I end up moving every few months, so I need something that won't eat up all my trunk space.
I'm looking for a case—definitely needs to be SFF so I can actually lug it around easily—plus a decent 24-inch monitor. Budget-wise, I'm thinking around $550 for the case and $150 for the monitor. Just need a killer SSD strictly for running Windows. Don't bother with the OS or any card readers.
I'll be using this rig for some heavy gaming and everyday stuff. A GTX 1050 ti Mini would be more than enough GPU for what I need.
I've got my eye on the Fractal Define Nano S. If there's anything even smaller in that price range (or cheaper), let me know!
Doesn't matter which shop I use, as long as they offer assembly services—bonus points if it's free. I don't really know the deal with small cases and parts compatibility, so I just want to make sure everything actually fits and the thing doesn't turn into a literal space heater. 😁
Ryan Carter3 said:A massive headline over on the news portal: Refugees are returning home—overcrowded centers, bad food, a lukewarm welcome
What kind of grotesque stupidity is this from the author of this article? Even the headline itself screams a contradiction that should sting the eyes of anyone with even a modicum of intelligence. If you are a refugee, you aren't "returning home." Certainly not because of a lackluster welcome or some subpar meals. By its very definition, a refugee is someone who has fled. A person flees when their life is in immediate peril. If your life is actually on the line, you don't just head back simply because the food isn't to your liking. If it weren't so tragic, the sheer stupidity of these people would almost be laughable. But what can you expect when they insist on posing as moral authorities?
I think it's been established that most of them aren't even refugees, they're just economic migrants. Honestly, the whole thing feels like a planned invasion to me.
A real refugee would be relieved to reach the VERY FIRST country where they aren't in danger of losing their heads, not forcing their way into foreign territory illegally while expecting special treatment and threatening suicide or using their own kids as leverage. Plus, the fact that they come from a Muslim culture that is largely incompatible with ours should be a massive red flag that something is wrong. This isn't about racism or being intolerant—it's just cold, hard facts based on the statistics we see across European countries.
I have no clue how the people in power can't see this. Either they're making us look like idiots, or they're genuinely morons themselves. Aside from outliers like Viktor Orbán or the Czech president, watching this play out is just a frustrating tragicomedy.
If nothing else, I wish people would just use some damn common sense. I would’ve made a fortune if I’d been writing stuff like this six months ago.
Grace Sanchez50 said:I don't know, it felt way too serious to me, like it was playing it straight when I just wanted to blow off some steam. Maybe I didn't phrase it right, but the whole tone is just so heavy—it needs more of that ridiculousness or parody vibes, kind of like in >.
Hell yeah, I'm down for a sequel, especially now that his sister can control the zombies and everything is just awesome.
Personally, I think it’s pretty well balanced—not too much mushy crap and not too much comedy either.
Guns, cars running over zombies, that one native guy, the soldiers, someone getting their nose ripped off... I dunno, what else do you even need?
Sequel? 👍
"OI! Can we get inside? There's fucken' zombies everywhere!"
The measurements fit like a glove! Thanks! According to Wikipedia, this round was first manufactured back around 1921 and they're still using it today... which means there's absolutely no way to pin down which specific war it's from... total mystery 😁
I'm keeping it just so I have a little slice of unknown history on my shelf 😁
Hey! So I was out picking olives at my uncle’s place the other day and totally stepped on this bullet 🤣 , so now I'm wondering if anyone here can actually figure out where this thing came from..
It's massive, like 5 inches long, with a 3.5-inch casing and a 1.5-inch projectile.
I scrubbed it clean but couldn't find a single mark on it... the tip is all bent up too, probably because it fell out of some plane flying over the ranch. It looks like it's from an aircraft machine gun or something, but I have zero clue which war it's from—maybe WWII or something from the Vietnam era?
Nothing crazy, I'm just curious how a round like this ended up sitting under an olive tree on my uncle's property in rural Texas😁
I'm gonna drop it off at the local police station since I don't even know what to do with it.
