@LaFinlandia too bad they cannot be used in mainland Russia...

@gravitas_deficiency Both Poland and Romania will buy it, so South Korea will become a hell of a supplier on the NATO's eastern flank. We are also getting 54 K9 Thunder self-propelled howitzers from them.
@sugar_in_your_tea @gravitas_deficiency on the sea. They could get it through the Pacific, then Atlantic through the Panama Straight and then on rail in Europe. Or, since the ice cap is melting, they could be shipping upwards through the Arctic Ocean.
Shouldn't he fry the bacon on both sides?
@OpenStars Clearly, there's only two months left in this year, and one of them will surely be in winter ;)

Here! But yeah, the lack of Lemmy is a bummer. I suppose that other services like Misskey are also supported via Mastodon support though.
AI Features: Copilots, AI Auto-complete, Canva-like editor.
yeah, no thanks; putting out AI slop on social media is not the way forward.
I believe this is cathering more to business users. But I fully agree, AI is literally turning social media into dogshit. And the internet as well...
I genuinely hope to see a coalition in power, but on Instagram (from @rferl 's page - they don't seem to be that active around here anymore), I saw that the Georgian Dream is leading in the polls, with 53% 🙁

URAC Bucharest's latest tram model, V3A-93-PPC-PAFS, going through the flower tunel on line 24, Bucharest, Romania
(live.staticflickr.com)
Yes, I know this tram looks funny. According to the Metrou Ușor forum (Romanian), PAFS comes from Fiber-Glass-Armed Polyester. Just in case you didn't know if there was something else having collections of acronyms in its name in this entire world (a la GNOME), the fully expanded tram model name reads as follows:
Triple-Articulated Car with Partially Lowered Floor and Fiber-Glass-Armed Polyester
Or in Romanian
Vagon Triplu Articulat cu Podea Parțial Coborâtă și Poliester Armat cu Fibră de Sticlă
I'm personally having trouble even spelling out the short name of that thing.
Anyway, this is a refurbishment effort on the part of URAC (Uzina de Reparații Atelierele Centrale), the tram factory and repairs shop of the transit authority in Bucharest to make the older V3A-93 cars more modern, along with adding a composite material to prevent rust from forming (the original V3A-93 is made of steel, just like another car that rusts, made by Tesla 😉) - and more of a prototype. The vehicle also has a refurbished interior, a lowered 2nd section (as the name implies) and new seats, with more padding compared to the previous plastic seats. What do you guys think of this?

@UrLogicFails I didn't celebrate Halloween either, but I have recreated the mildly disturbing Halloween mask from the TF2 game a few years ago. It's my only Halloween stuff I have, lol.
