I hate cigarettes
Yeah no having seen the way my father was tortured by struggling to quit for years while being confronted with potentially causing his own children to lose him at a young age the way he lost his own father, I could never take up smoking. But they do have really cool car liveries.
So don’t build 1-off designs, look at the most expensive parts of plant construction, and lower those costs. China’s nuclear industry isn’t just some construction company that commissions bespoke parts for each nuclear plant, it extends to from heavy forging capacity shared with ship-building to colleges producing construction managers.
The scooter is just a generic off-the-shelf honda in black, they didn’t even put a custom Marlboro livery on it. Selling poison to children is one thing, but doing it without any style?
Venezuela has a population of Vietnam around the start of the Vietnam War, is 20% larger than Afghanistan, and largely mountain and jungle. America is incapable of invading and occupying them.
There’s jaywalking laws here??? That’s news to me.
You can’t just post nudes without a NSFW warning!
Between Whompy Wheels and the steering wheel coming flying off, I’m like 50% sure the engineers are doing it on purpose.
Was your grandma german? My Grampa was in a B-17 lol.
With regular bombs targeting military factories and logistical hubs at night? No, because those are military targets and there was minimal risk to civilians. Firebombing residential areas? Absolutely.
The worst part is, killing shittons of civilians isn’t even useful. When Germany shifted bombing from airfields and military targets to terror-bombing london, they gave the airfields and factories breathing room to rebuild the RAF and eventually win the battle of Britain. Murdering 20% of the population of Korea north of the 38th didn’t allow the US to push up, poisoning the center of vietnam to cause a famine and sending B-52s to carpet bomb the north did nothing to break the Vietnamese resistance. Bombing hospitals and weddings in Afghanistan didn’t make the Afghan people decide to stop resisting.
No you still can’t bomb a fucking parade what the fuck is wrong with you?
You still can’t bomb parades.
Putin and Russia shouldn’t be confident that Ukraine won’t attack
A parade is still a parade, an attack would likely kill civilians attending and definitely be a warcrime.
Depends on how democratic the mechanisms of the party is. Cuba’s party has only become more democratic as time has gone on, and resulted in better outcomes for the people and enshrining gay rights in a constitutional referendum, which passed with 90%+ in favor. China’s party has certainly became more democratic than in the 2000s when politicians were openly controlled by business.
It’s not useful to analyze parties and states in a vacuum independent of each other, the ultimate proof of how democratic a system is is whether its results favor the people or capital.
I will never, ever trust a one-party government
It depends on the party. Being able to pick from of a dozen different parties of capital is no different from picking from a dozen brands of peanut butter that came out of the same factory.
The USSR was a lot bigger, less dense, and less developed. They managed rail.
As far as eminent domain goes, half our cities are parking lot and road. You can also simply elevate the rail. Or you can do what the chinese do and not build the station in the city center and instead run subways connecting the rail stations everywhere. IMO this is worse than building the train station near downtown.
Laptops above 100W don’t need a USBC charging port.
Gaming laptops can continue to use the typical barrel power connector on models that exceed 100 W of power
They’ve already been bulldozed, look at all the parking lots and unnecessarily wide roads. The average US town or city has had more of its area destroyed by car infrastructure than London did after The Blitz.
So the article referenced a “chronic labor shortage”, but nobody can afford the little luxuries they afforded 10 year ago.
Have they tried just paying people more?
No military equipment except the m16s work quite like its supposed to.
