President Zelensky warned that allowing Russia to seize territory would repeat mistakes made since 2014 and earlier conflicts. He said Putin cannot be stopped with concessions and claimed Russia is losing 30,000 to 35,000 troops a month.

It's great to live in a country (Canada, Japan, UK, France, Germany, Sweden, Italy, etc.) where citizens don't worry about if the next election will be canceled, if they will be allowed to register to vote, if they will have to stand in line for hours to vote, or if their vote will be counted.

How come a sitting president can sue an individual, but an individual cannot sue a sitting president?

Great proposal this. Continues to be incredibly funny and incredibly stupid that for years we've *banned* bus and rail operators "colluding" to make their timetables integrate with each other.

The job of engineers is not to deploy some technology but to build robust, reliable and sustainable (in all meanings of that word) solutions for real world problems based on requirements directly derived from people's needs. Even for an engineer technology comes second at best.
