It might well be. Thing is, no-one wants war. If the west wanted war, they wouldn’t need a broken cable for it.

It passes on to both producers and consumers. It’s not perfect but it might be made to work enough.

Monkey wrangler. I wrangle monkeys.

This.

Then please tell me how they are thought to be little drones.

Tell me you have no kids and are at least 40 without saying it.

If you’ve built it reasonably right, that’s not what it costs.

Don’t know about the rest but canned tuna has an enormous taste difference. Try a good 10 USD can!

It’s doubtful that their economy is doing better. GDP, in the middle of a failing (or costly) war, is a pretty bad metric. It doesn’t matter if you produce more value inside the country if all of it (and more) is destroyed at the front.

“The theory”… You make it sound like MAD is some obscure fact. I so hope that is not the case. But maybe… Fuck…

That fucker never works! Sometimes I conclude it’s malware but usually I just try and try and try. UI is messed up. Fingers don’t do what I want. Screen is broken. Drives me mad!
