>The west needs enlargement of their influence in Ukraine Okay so you have swallowed the Russia and China propaganda fully. Yes, China has better living conditions now than 20 years ago. Ukraine is its own country since 1991 and on their own want to move closer to the west, NATO and EU. Russia invaded Ukraine as Putin is the one who want "enlargement of their influence" If you think above, how can you blame me in the…

Ukraine is not an independent country. The entire culture is practically similar to the Russian one. Yes I have lived in Ukraine (Melitopol) for many years. This whole conflict is 100% caused by the west that tries to put a wig between the two nations. By bribing and buying up assets in Ukraine. Starting from around 2012 when western institutions installing puppets in various places. Government and commercial. Don't…

>Ukraine is not an independent country

They are.

You are spouting Russian propaganda 100% how it's all the wests fault. Putin and Russia is the one 100% responsible. Cannot belive I read this on Hn but sadly more and more anti western, pro russia and pro palestine crap is here.

And remember dear readers, China and Iran openly helps Russia in their invasion of Ukraine. It is like the cold war never ended. China's covert military training of Russian forces last year was personally approved by President Vladimir Putin's defence minister and directly involved at least four Russian and Chinese generals, according to two European officials and documents seen by Reuters. https://www.reuters.com/bu…

> Iran helps with Shaeed Drones as known This ought to be a useful message for the US, too, whose Russian-owned government didn't want to help provide Ukraine with much in the way of weapons. The US got an absolute pasting in Hormuz from Iranian drones, and maybe if they'd had some Ukrainian kit they'd have come off a little better.

This is a funny view to me.

USA has complete air superiority over Iran. But when they bomb people like you complain.

I'm not sure you are fully aware of the markets that Garmin is in. When it comes to marine, aviation and offroad, you simply cannot run a gps app on a phone. E.g. https://www.garmin.com/en-US/c/aviation/general/

"offroad, you simply cannot run a gps app on a phone" I almost exclusively use GaiaGPS as my offroad GPS navigation app on my phone. It works perfectly fine and it has for a long time, roughly speaking 1/7th of my life.

You are correct, I should have been more specific - SxS, MTB and Enduro/Dualsport motorcycling. I've tried to use smart phones but they often heat up running a gps app in direct sunlight. More importantly the touch response accuracy caused me to double check the phone while trying to pay attention to the trail.

In applications such as jeep rock crawling, car camping - yes, smartphones will work. In more extreme activities - nope.

In general, we Americans really, really love our country. Our flag still represents values tied closely to our revolutionary war and and independence. Obviously the flag gets wrapped around all sorts of causes, even contradictory ones, but that core kernel of shared values is truly universal. So as individuals we choose to fly the flag a lot.

> " but that core kernel of shared values is truly universal. " Which values? "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." does not seem to be upheld very strongly in the USA. What about women's rights and abortion upturned by the current government, wh…

The values you exactly stated:

> We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

And if you don’t worship the flag in just the right way you suffer the consequences.

Well we dont really like it when you burn the flag in protest if thats one of the alternate worships you are suggesting.

No one wants this, nobody is watching action footy in VR

Are you serious? Watching skydiving footage in VR is amazing. Flat pictures are nothing compared to it.

As a massive VR enthusiast I agree with you, but that doesn't change the fact that we are the only 2 people doing it
