Ukraine will not cede land to Russia. What is likely though is a frozen conflict along the conflict lines.

I wonder if the next CEO will be shot or taken down by drone.
I think it's very likely that in 2025 we will see the first North American assassination by drone.

In Brazil we have a famous saying, not related to wars but football, "já combinou com os Russos?" or in literal translation, "Did you already check with the Russians?".

> way worse for the other drivers Light bars selectively disabling some LED segments (as in not blinding other drivers) are already a thing, but... they're not allowed in the US. If the regulation around it comes closer to the EU one, everyone will be better off.
The selective disabling thing works in the lab according to some tolerances. On the road they are a nuisance, simple as that. Eyes are sensitive and those things don't work anywhere near as well as they should.
They work just fine. I can always notice them working for my car and other's cars.
