It will probably increase total global oil production, which is good for the US consumer (what Trump seems to care about more), but not US producers.

I would probably have a stronger gripe with the ridiculousness of the tariffs than Tim Cook's refusal to bribe the president. Also, to say that not bribing would make him an "honest businessman" is slightly unfair. He has a f

I'm aware of the open bribery by the administration. That has nothing to do with my comment.

Yes, the reason Apple was so successful at Cook's helm is because he gifted Trump a plaque.

We would need a larger sample size than just myself, but the raccoon was in the very first spot I looked. Found it literally immediately, as if that's where my eyes naturally gravitated to first. Hopefully that's just luck and not

This is laughably false. The leadership in Tehran is smart, and they know that nukes are the most assured path to the regime's self-preservation. (see: North Korea). They've been trying to build nukes since the 80s.

> Also seems that having a very capable military that lets you project power around the world also invites that power to be used. I assure you that is a much better problem than the alternative.

I'm not arguing the necessity of him having to shoot, but there is absolutely enough reasonable fear for it to be legally justified.

Thanks for the chuckle. I'm sorry you feel that way

I'm not concerned about "privacy" on public roads. If law enforcement illegally detaining and murdering people is a concern, I'd rather increase accountability for the law enforcement officers engaging in illegal activit

I'm actually not surprised. As a conceal carrier, I think that most people that conceal carry a firearm are woefully under-trained and potentially a liability. I still absolutely encourage people willing to put in the effort to do it,

I'm going to provide a bit of nuance here, but would like to clarify I am not a fan of ICE's tactics in the slightest. Yes, the ICE agent was stupid for standing in front of the car, just as Renee Good was stupid for hitting the g

I prefer people to be held accountable for their actions while driving, actually.

Thanks for that constructive, helpful comment. I have helped several people carrying a first-aid kit.

I have a license to carry a handgun, and it was at a public university in a state that allows this.

How that information is accessed and/or used is where the distinction lies.

Unless you want a police officer on every street corner at all times, no, it cannot be "done by the police".

I got my BS in Computer Science legally carrying a Glock in every class. I think it's very likely I was the only person doing so; Not because I was fearful, but because I like being prepared. It takes very little long-term effort for p

That would be on-brand for European leadership. It's a good thing European countries aren't shutting down nuclear power plants and increasing dependence on Russian oil and gas...

We need to push for clean tech obviously. I disagree with Republicans blocking wind farm construction and rolling back regulations, but American energy independence is important for national security, which is a shorter term issue than clim

Texas K-12 performance has decreased significantly in recent decades, largely due to massive poorly-educated Hispanic immigration.

That was a grave mistake, but there is no point in continuing to aid those programs with PhD exports.

by M3L0NM4N 10mo ago
Correct, didn't think I would have to spell that one out.

Depends pretty heavily on the destination of the export, i.e. not China.

Yeah they seem to have gotten excited to do the probability math (with bad assumptions, conflating a 300m^2(!) cross section collision with an actual probable collision), and with no consideration that this can actually be trivially simulat

Don't attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by ignorance.

What should they be buying instead? The other available multi-role fighters that would all get blown to pieces by an F-35 before they knew what hit them?

I want to know why a burner account posted this comment. There could be many reasons, some more entertaining than others. Of course the answer could be boring, but do you care to elaborate?
