Got to be honest with you, bro. This sounds like pro-russia FUD to me.

I mean honestly, wasn't all of the USSR a big agglomeration? The bottom line now is that Ukraine is a sovereign nation recognized by the rest of the world, and they have been invaded.

Sure - every country has their own angle. And if you don't seek out a varied media diet - you'll only get one side.

If you are curious, open up Wikipedia and check out what year did Lviv get attached to Ukraine, who attached it, and how. Spoiler: somehow Comrade Stalin is a good guy when it comes to taking from the Poles and giving to Ukraine. The mental gymnastics some people perform really are quite amazing.

Ever wonder how those borders got internationally recognized? Seems to me that it had something to do with the world fearing Stalin just enough to let him draw that particular border. War never changes.

you can use Javascript with Max. It's a bit unwielding in its handling of multi-JS-file projects, but it can be done.

Not everything in Max is exposed to your code, but you really can do a lot from the JS side of things.

I had no idea! And I'm learning Javascript, so that's a nice coincidence.

I was deep into Max/MSP around 2010 and made a personal vow to leave it alone. The potential to reinvent the wheel and build tools instead of completing records was too much.

Now I'm in a more mature place, so I could see myself diving back into it eventually.

we didn't have Fox News and its ilk drumming up panic over caravans back then.

and if they need West Coast, it's us-west-2. I consider us-west-1 to be a failed region. They don't get some of the new instance types, you can't get three AZs for your VPCs, and they're more expensive than the other US regions.

Yeah, Snopes is really missing the point here. When people point to this idiotic drivel that he spoke in a press conference, their point is not that "oh my god, he told everyone to inject bleach, this is going to cause mass injury and is terrifyingly dangerous".

I think most who point to this statement, they see it as evidence of how pitifully stupid this man is.

So for most people who like to talk about this statement, it's still true -- it's like a 3rd grader is spitballing on how to solve a pandemic.

Sorry, there's no way a plumber in the 70s made 40K.

I'm sure it's already happening.
