The US and Ukraine have drafted a new 19-point peace deal,
but left the most politically sensitive elements to be decided by the countries' presidents,
according to Ukrainian first deputy foreign minister Sergiy Kyslytsya.
Washington had previously put Kyiv under pressure to agree a 28-point proposal that had been developed by US and Russian officials and crossed several long-standing Ukrainian red lines.

@grumpybozo@toad.socialIt’s apparent to anyone with a bit of education in technological history that this sort of thing must be possible. We have waste streams with higher concentrations of key elements than the "ore" we derive them from.
This is part of why I religiously recycle plastics even though right now they don’t really get recycled. At some point, the piles of unrecycled plastics will be a better raw material for new plastics than the dregs of petroleum we have left.

Either you use the overwrite mode to overwrite the overlapping part, then switch to insert mode to append the extra characters, or you delete the overlapping part, then insert the new string using insert mode entirely.
Or you can be chaotic, use overwrite mode to replace part of it, prematurely switch to insert mode, delete the remaining extraneous characters and insert whatever is left.
