I believe the German tanks are already traversing the steppes of Ukraine that they yearn for.

If you've met the deductible for the plan year, the deductible is now off the table. And presumably you need to look at your policy to see what it covers after the deductible is met.

"50% before deductible" is an odd term that I haven't seen in an health insurance policy. Usually, coinsurance doesn't kick in until after the deductible is met.

Instead the story is that the source engine was located in the "Src" directory in their Visual Source Safe. And the Half Life 1 engine was in a separate branch named GoldSrc because it was about to ship real soon, and they needed to keep changes to a minimum.

I think a lot of people understand the concept of light-seconds, which can measure distance in seconds.

Allow me to introduce the gravity-second. 1 gravity-second of mass-energy is enough mass-energy to have a Schwarzchild radius of 2 light-seconds.

Set G = 1 and c =1. Then equations like r = 2m make dimensional sense.

"gradient descent" is a jargon word for one kind of training method.

Could be your freezer cycling up and down. Mine gets real warm right after I load in a week of groceries. I also should probably store more stuff in the freezer for thermal mass.

Any type of parole has to be at least marginally less dangerous for the hostage than execution.

If you don't have the resources to provide for your POWs, the correct solution is parole, not execution.

But in cases of Israelis who also served in the IDF, the rational choice is to kill them instead of giving the IDF a propaganda win.

This is a war crime. You can't execute POWs just because the enemy is getting close to the POW camp.
