   Ukraine did not have own artillery to counter nor airpower. South Korea has plenty of artillery and MLRS to counter N Korean threats, not to mention counter-battery radar systems. I read someone who quoted a South Korean army officer who sa

   North Korea DID lose the war in 1950, in a way. After Incheon Landing, the North Korean army never really recovered. The majority of fighting power for north side was from Chinese army. The reason UN Forces got pushed back and couldn't

   MANY of the Apple products that were dumped by customers could've been rescued and reused easily if repair was a reasonable option.

   Japan/SKorea would like to spend less $ on weapons. BUT US has a history of abandoning an ally when convenient (like Taiwan). So even if US guarantees nuclear umbrella for SKorea and Japan, you never know what will happen. And you don&

   I guess you didn't see my comment below that China deployed long range radar system to monitor the sky of South Korea and Japan like 10 years ago? Or are you just ignoring that? US military is present in South Korea and Japan because

   Actually I don't think it's that bad for South Korea, despite what some media says. 1. impeachment: Ultimate example of democracy at work. And no general stepped forward to declare he must rescue the nation from the chaos or did

    > Carriers can negotiate with their passengers for mutually acceptable compensation." How do you negotiate with an entity that has the ability to call in the goons on you but you cannot?

    I can vouch for this story. My parents went through this scenario exactly. They had gotten into office cleaning because it was relatively well paying in the 90's. But in the 90's middle men came into the mix. Someone with better s

    I truly believe the reason we have not had WW3 is because of nukes. It is one small frignge benefit.

    None of the Google PR issues were result of a CEO straight up acting like you know what... So no comparison there.

    I agree. I feel this is just a sign Google is playing a bit of catch-up (maybe even a tiny bit of desperation) in getting curved OLED displays. There's only so much capacity available, with Samsung and Apple eating up most of what&#x2

    I believe a lot of places hire a candidate through a consensus, meaning some members in the team accept or reject a potential candidate. When enough accept the candidate, the hiring is done. Is there any company that tracks who rejects a p

    I agree with your assessment, pjc50. All major European nations lost most of their privileged/gifted young men in WW1 and WW2, not just UK.

    Who said a military occupation will happen to prevent Calexit from taking place? Those in power will do whatever to prevent Calexit from happening in the first place. And so if Calexit happens, will we have San Diego exit from the Republic

    It will mean loss of jobs (however low paying and not fulfilling it may be) for people who can least afford to. People that cannot hope to retrain for a better job or have some kind of retirement plan in place. I have mixed feelings about t

    You probably wouldn't say that in front of the Samsung engineers that keep the production lines of their RAM, CPU, displays humming. They are engineers too, and with the scale they deal with, I'd say they are talented engineers.
