Apparently the fireworks were added in post.

Ian Davis has been working since he lost his fingers to design and build a mechanical hand. He's now looking for other amputees to help him test the design. It's a really cool project, I love following his progress!

Changing Models of Villagers on Bedrock (sh.itjust.works)

Is there a way to get villagers with separated arms on bedrock? Would I need to write my own addon? I don't see anything built for that currently.

My end goal would be to get villagers to look like dwarfs, like this resource pack.

Op Sec was fantastic from Ukraine. With that and Russia ignoring what info on troop buildup they did have, they managed operational surprise.

Tin in solder or some other meals can form spiky crystals when under stress. These whiskers can form short circuits if not properly insulated or not alloyed with other metals.

Putin pledges truce if Ukraine exits occupied areas and drops NATO bid, likely a nonstarter for Kyiv by JohnDClay in c/worldnews@lemmy.ml
[-] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 161 points 1 year ago

Without nato membership, nothing prevents Russia from trying again once they've regenerated their forces. Russia has already broken their promise to

reaffirm their commitment to Ukraine, in accordance with the principles of the CSCE [Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe] Final Act, to respect the Independence and Sovereignty and the existing borders of Ukraine

So Russians pledges are worth less than nothing.
