There are no good guys in the middle east. Only civilians that are angry about being shit on.

Pretty sure it’s a campaign message. Throw lots of ‘oh look Taylor is destroying the environment with her jet’ noise around the interwebs to try and discredit her voice against Trump. It’s a PR campaign designed by toddlers.
It’s about time someone did. War is just violent economics. Taking away Putin’s income will cost him the war faster than killing Russians.
The fringe on the right is going after contraception. And becoming less of a fringe by the day.
Finally figuring out that war is economics with violence. Our sanctions have been half assed from the start, and need to include some serious pressure on any country not abiding by them.
China has long had a unification plan. It’s not really anything new. There’s just been a huge political football made out of it for decades. And of course that led to stupidly huge over investment in their economy by the rest of the globe as a way to encourage China to back off. Xi doesn’t see the value in the status quo. It’d be like California seceding, then making tons of money while the rest of the US went fascist and built military power. Same ending.
Financial stress. Go take a closer look at the crime stats that right wing racists like to hammer the black community with. Then adjust them for poverty rates in the community. All of a sudden the racial divide in violent crime goes away. If anything, poor white men are the most violent, but not by enough to really be significant. The driving factor, by around 10 or 15 to 1, is poverty.
We’re seeing declining standards of living across the country, while technology hides the true depths of it. The whole, you can’t be poor if you have a wide screen TV and a refrigerator, is almost true. It’s just enough to make it look like having no bargaining power, being locked into your zip code, buried in debt, and renting everything you own, somehow represents wealth.
Look at you with your color vision being all elitist. Some of us old bastards don’t see them pretty rainbows so much any more.
They’re the bunker buster for infantry advancement. You can’t keep them in front all the time, they’d get taken out. But being able to blast and smash fortified positions during an infantry engagement can decide a battle. They can also give short chase to escaping mobile units.
On a defensive front, they’re a bunker that can move whenever your own hard points get bombed out. Providing cover to maintain a position.
Schools are far too based on attendance, and often legally can only count kids with a butt in their seat at school. Even into college, progress is based more on appearance than ability.
It leads to crappy teaching, and draconian absence policies.
To be fair, forcing kids into school drastically cuts down on child abuse. So there is a logic behind it, just taken a bit too far.
China has probably gotten more from their various intel ops in the US supply chain. There isn’t a lot they could get in the field without risking serious repercussions.
Grab any modular electronics, charter a boat to the Bahamas, divert to Cuba after stashing them on a deserted island along the way. Use a thumb drive of pictures to bargain for the gps coordinates to China.
Unless I thought of something better along the way.
For all the other arch types I’d agree. That draped arch looks like the stones at the middle of each nadir should spit themselves out rather than be held in.
What the hell holds up a draped arch?
Athletics and every daily use are completely different issues. Guys don’t wear a jock strap every day.
Every day motion keeps the supporting pectoral muscles in better shape. Strenuous exercise, or large breasts, tend to tip things the other way, because the supportive tissues don’t build up the way muscles do. Topless yoga is great, topless 100m dash, not so much.
Because they’re an unnatural device created by a need for puritan modesty and ‘fashion’. They’re also detrimental to your posture, and your tits. Think about always riding in a wheel chair, what kind of shape are your legs going to be in? Breast may not have muscle in them, the supporting tissues do.
It’s a law that was used to bring down mob bosses. It makes it illegal to have other people commit crimes for you.
Hopefully that link works, the text of the law is fairly clear as far as legal texts go.
I knew it was water, the actual name of it though I had zero recollection.
It would be impossible to build today by any means. Not because of any technological problem. Physically it could be done rather quickly, as others have posited. The problem is that you could never combine the political and economic will to complete it.
It’s the same reason it would be easier to colonize Mars than to fix climate change. There’s a half dozen robots on Mars that will do whatever you tell them. On Earth, there’s 7 billion assholes who think they have a better idea of what to do.
