If religion did not exist, humans would create it.

I feel like there’s something in between stuff as basic as rice and advanced as satellite launch systems that NK should probably be focusing on.

Rice?

How does the punishment help the family of the victim?

I mean for other people. Of course we can reduce crime if everyone is imprisoned.

Is there any data showing that this is more effective for reducing future violent crime?

And how are the people of Argentina doing? Still experiencing high unemployment and poverty because of this?

Huh. That literally just happened, because I was reading it before I posted the comment.

The Ugandan Bush War, a few hundred personnel were involved apparently.

I don’t see how this is causing instability around North Korea. China has long dealt with North Korea like a troublemaker little brother.

Plans to? They’re already doing it! They’re literally having sales events for planned construction!

They didn’t consider it a surprise. They’re just manufacturing consent for a Ukrainian loss.

I forget what it was exactly, but there was some leadership change at the NYT a few years back, and the new guy is a shitbag. That’s why it feels like they’ve gone down the tubes recently.

That’s… what they use to relocate the device (if possible) and place the detonation charge. I have a passing familiarity with EOD robots.

You’d think they’d have learned from the cold war, but I guess not.

And the safest way to make an unstable explosive stable and non-explosive is to… explode it! No point faffing about with something dangerous like this when you can just destroy it.

Just don’t put them in your mouth, because I’m sure they contain lead and/or cadmium.

Yeah but the existing production would already have it. That’s why they say “phase it out”, as opposed to a complete recall.

That’s the neat part, it’s not!

I don’t really want to go through the process of buying a home every few years until I settle down.

How’s the social scene for a young-ish single person?
