Godholio posted:This is a really good read. Nah, China is still our biggest geopolitical rival. They're the only nation-state which can actually replace America as the predominant global power - and they're working on it. Russia is no longer capable of being anything but a regional thorn in everyone's side. Just like Islamic terror groups, they can drag us down if we choose to let them but they can't actually challenge our position.

Hekk posted:Was going to post the same thing. How are drones suicide? Isn’t that kind of the point in using something machine? I just assume that it's "suicide" to remind you that it's being delivered by those sneaky, life-devaluing Musselmen instead of by the upstanding upholders of democracy.

CRUSTY MINGE posted:I'm just going to build. After a foreclosure and a repossession, I don't have much option. I'm "buying" 4 acres off a friend this spring by paying for boundary surveys and having his driveway widened, and connected to mine, when I pay the guy a few miles down the road to drive his dozer down for a day. I'll have to pay out for septic install, concrete for the foundation, and a mountain of materials, but at least I have nothing better to do with my time. Have you considered a box truck conversion with a front porch?

facialimpediment posted:Garland's speech covered a bit of this criticism (I'm 50/50 on if I buy it or not). It kind of fits what I've been seeing lately - the misdemeanors are pleading out pretty quickly (and generating the slap-on-the-wrist headlines) while only a few of the 3-4 year felonies have been pleaded out and most of the violent types are in pretrial detention still: I'm not going to rant about how he's a failure, but I'm also not buying it until I see it.

What I've been reading is that while there is overall an energy crisis in Kazakhstan, the protests were primarily driven by the sudden spike in the price of LPG due to deregulation last year. The power plants are mostly coal powered. As fun as it would be to blame this on buttcoin miners moving from China and wrecking up the place, I don't think that is a valid argument.

I mean, it's personally good news because I am healthy and white but I'm also not responsible for keeping the country healthy so maybe her attitude should have been more like "it's been determined that 3/4 of deaths are among people with comorbidities which is why we're implementing the following programs to protect those vulnerable populations" instead of "good news! it's only those people dying!"

pantslesswithwolves posted:Re: Bronies- I actually know someone who did serious academic work on the Bronie phenomenon, and she told me that the vast majority of Bronies were straight, white men in their early 20s who were generally well socialized, if not a bit introverted, and weren't drawn to the show for sexual reasons. It's not my cup of tea but I generally regard them as weird but overall harmless. Don’t, theoretically, cops have law enforcement duties to do which aren’t being done if they’re in a classroom?
