You're idealising one government rule to stop other government stupidity. The fact is that enforcing that kind of thing is meant to be the electorate's job. Instead of howling these people out of office as the spent,…
That's a really solid set of counterpoints to which I'd respond that the foreign policy has not merely been to maintain supply of oil, but to do so at discount prices and prevent other powers from developing it. This…
They'd be better off trying to align themselves neutrally and dropping NATO.
"Remember that pirate fleet that tried to tie weights around our neck when we were taking on water 20 years ago?" "Yes, why?" "Well they're about to sink and I think we should tether our ship to theirs."
> Bonus: put some typos in the quiz that don't matter. Red flag for the people that get hung up on that. I feel like after presenting a great solution to the stupid, cryptic, arbitrary interviewer games where you have…
I loved everything about this.
I'd take the attribution with a wheelbarrow of salt. If Iran was as dangerous as Unnamed US Official has been claiming for the past 50 years, they'd be running the world by now. Iran hitting US mainland targets would be…
Microsoft 364, am I right?
It ceased to be independent. It still exists and I have agricultural products at work that still bear its trademark.
I am not a lawyer, but my understanding is that plant breeders who develop a new cultivar or variety are generally awarded seven years of exclusivity on registration, which seems reasonable to me. For fruit trees that…
Yes. They actually made similar observations about each other, in that Bill is observing that Steve has a genius for marketing and picking clever people, as opposed to any particular knack for innovation or…
They pretty much are, too. It certainly reads like some tech job ads. Rock star with 30 years experience. Graduate wages.
There's good evidence that it was expressly approved in the form of social media posts advertising the consignment on their social media pages. Difficult for them to argue either ignorance or that the arrangement wasn't…
If he's truly a "senior" CIA official, he probably actually was a reservist for much of his career, and continued to claim leave for reserve duties after he was discharged. And payroll eventually did pick up on this,…
All of the comments in this thread assume he was being investigated for his acquisition of comically large amounts of cash and commodities that he presumably left the building with in big bags with a dollar sign on…
Deliberately testing its survivability with that failure mode over different parts of the vehicle has been one of the major foci throughout the entire test campaign, and it has proven remarkably resilient. That…
I personally broke it by admonishing it for fucking up its last revision to my project.
The headlines just write themselves at this point.
That's right. SpaceX is likely a great business on its fundamentals, and starlink is probably even better. The meme-stock part of this is that they've swept all these different business up together. I would've loved the…
They'd tolerate it because they all poked a giant in the eye and it didn't go down. It's by far the cheapest route to peace any of them have. USA could agree to it because it's not particularly dependent on that fuel…
Absolutely none of that would happen. It's in Iran's interests to keep the oil flowing at a fee that everyone can stomach and that doesn't offend the sensibilities. $1 a barrel for a year of unprovoked war crimes…
As you say, the shadow fleet exists because of sanctions. In other words, because the biggest bully on the block is committing de facto piracy with their navy. Pretty much the definition of blocking freedom of…
Just pointing out that for the volume of these ships, it's not really a massive toll. It's honestly a bargain, paid for in a really easy to stomach way by the people who allowed this to happen: Everyone else.
Nobody ever questions why the troll is living under a bridge.
I realise he was making comedy, but breaking that down further I'd argue that dumb people can fool smart people for a little while that they're smart. My social acuity has developed slowly, only after being repeatedly…
