If I remember right the mark was allowed to inflate to the point where they could quickly burn through reparations payments and then put at a set mark : pound sterling ratio (think it was 4:1? something like that).

for a long while the only people moderating D&D were a dude who does not live in the US and somewhere on the other side of the world, a dude in the UK who only moderated one thread, and a dead guy

If your drone and your bomb are on two different remotes what jams one may not jam the other. if you lose control of your drone detonating the bomb and hoping for a golden bullet makes some kind of sense.

I'm a bit surprised they didn't go the same route that Houthi's did/are doing in Yemen: The Patriot batteries in SA can move but effectively hadn't in 20 something years so they just programmed the GPS coordinates into drones and set them on collision courses filled with explosives.

Then again that might have required advanced knowledge of where Maduro was going to stand.

Mods, Crowsbeak here was actively calling for protesters to be tortured and murdered. I think this probably deserves more than a sixer.

Goddamnit, why didn't I suggest "Venezuela: Tankies to the left of me, fascists to the right, stuck in the middle with coup"?

:doh:

E: or "fascists to my right"? At the end, all we really have is our regrets...

hello if you are not posting about venezuela in this thread enjoy your state sanctioned time out

a reminder: we're going up in penalties for every off topic/bad post

if you haven't learned by the time you're hitting a month then I don't know what to say beyond 'post better'

A rifle attack on a substation could be highly effective, Google Metcalf for a real world incident in the US that nearly took silicon valley offline.

the difference being if it actually took place maduro could just have pictures taken of the shot substation displayed as evidence

greetings to you poor unfortunate souls sitting in the lifeboat of the ss venezuela. as you contemplate and draw straws choosing which one of your fellow castaways to eat to survive your long sojourn let me remind you of one thing:

the rules of this thread have been in the OP for 3 months. being a prick to your fellow posters is something that I've been particularly hitting people for when i see it and the number of castaways shoved overboard because of this is simply unacceptable. stop posting like dogshit

remember folks
