  • I’ve read these stories multiple times now and I still don’t quite understand what’s happening.

    That’s because it’s mostly lies and propaganda not aimed at you, but the Russian people.

    Russians have been burning those offices for over a year, with it ramping up after people started getting forcefully recruited. Russia as always is trying to say it’s not “real russians” doing it, but people influenced by “the evil west”. It’s their standard strategy when it comes to pretty much any set back, ever. In this case it’s mostly blamed on “evil ukranian scammers”, so they can keep justifying the invasion and occupation.

    The main deflector or deflector array is crucial for stopping microscopic particles from wrecking most ships at relativistic speeds, and is technically called the “navigational deflector” for that reason.

    At sub-light speeds those same particles are barely noticable, if at all, when stopped by the normal shields, basic deflectors or even hull plates. Which why they don’t modify it while at warp, and pretty much only use it while at sub-light speeds.

    In-universe it was designed to serve multiple purposes and be used in research or defense of other ships. And I seem to remember there being some sort of lockout where the ship wont go to warp if it can’t engage the deflector. Since even a small particle cloud could destroy the entire ship a fraction of a second after it set off.



  • I think they’re trying to implement a sort of “smart prediction” thing, where it assumes that if you go back the link you clicked wasn’t relevant. And so it tries to remove closely related results. Which works the opposite if you get two results from the same page and you click the wrong one. Which makes looking up technical or programming related issues a nightmare.






  • Don’t even have to go that far back: Italy is massively corrupt with organized crime running parts of the country and with a literal facsist representing them in the EU Parliment(Mussolinis granddaugher in fact). This current prime minister that is being referred to in the post is a self-proclaimed “national conservative”.

    And the fact that they kept letting Berlusconi run things is all the proof you need of how corrupt the entire country is(his “controversies” part on wikipedia is so large that it has its own page with 160 citations, he is also connected to the party of the person mentioned above).

    But it has some amazing tourist locations and food, so people gloss over that as well.



  • Deleting it goes against the premise of “No stupid questions”. Hiding information in a place literally made to give out information without judging the question, is literally the opposite of the intent.


    Many questions posted here are easily answer through wikipedia, and people might ask them in a place like this for a multitude of reasons. One of them being that they avoid looking it up directly as a way to limit themselves getting triggered from the pictures or text that might be there, and just want a more summarized answer to their question.
