During the #Euro2024 #Ukraine versus Belgium match, fans displayed a banner with the portrait of Nazariy Hryntsevich, codenamed "Hrienka," a fallen soldier and #football fan. The image was generated by artificial intelligence from the photos of 182 fallen Ukrainian soldiers, who, in civilian life, were part of fan movements supporting Ukrainian clubs.

We set up small overflow fountains in the front yard, and a large waterfall fountain in the back yard, when we bought our house. Purely for aesthetics, but over the years it's amazed me how many animals and insects they attract, to get a drink on hot days. Hornets, bees, birds, squirrels, they're all out there, all day long, getting drinks of water.
Yβall, this is not that hard. In the US:
Right to Work refers to States that have banned union security clauses. Essentially, you canβt be required to join a union or pay dues as a condition of employment. Itβs meant to weaken unions. It has nothing to do with firing, and itβs relatively recent.
At Will refers to an employment arrangement where neither party must give any cause or any notice to terminate the relationship. Essentially, you can be fired for no reason at all.
During winter, I really felt bad about the lack of weapons supplies to Ukraine. To think that we, "the free worldβ, should pause when helping the Ukrainian people fight their fight for freedom, really made me cringe.
But watching all the impressive deliveries from all countries this spring has been amazing. I know, this war is far from over, but if the 50+ wealthy allies keep increasing the aid, there is no way, the Russian economy can keep up.
Not in the long run.

Off-hand, I can't remember the last time I laughed.
So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
