vim will load some other rc file if it cant find your ~/.vimrc. check what it has loaded with :scriptnames

russia definitely isnt getting everything they want out of this, since the US will still be a country afterwards.

but tell me, how do you imagine these peace talks to go? do you really think there’s a chance russia just goes home after spending years taking eastern ukraine? do you think the US can make russia do this? how? with more sanctions? by putting boots on the ground and getting us into a nuclear exchange? by sending even more badly trained, badly equipped ukrainians to die on the front?

the one thing NATO hasnt tried is actually ramping up production of basic war materiel so they can at least keep pace with the russian war industry. but at this point, even that’s too little too late, since they’re running out of ukrainian soldiers to give the weapons to.

she once caught a mouse without hurting it (much), brought it inside and then sat on it. just sat on the mouse. and the mouse just cowered there, sunk in her chest fur.

is this about the copper again?

in that case, i’d prefer a ~/bin/zcat with the contents

#!/bin/sh
exec gzip -cdf "$@"

this way, it’s exec’able, unlike an alias or shell function.

zgrep . * should do the trick

oh, there’s also zcat -f *

my whole elementary school class visited my dad’s workplace once, cos it was cool. it had a huge anechoic chamber.
