I wish headlines did not use euphemisms which are capable of being misunderstood. Nuclear engines being a thing, "nuking" something in space has at least 3 possible meanings including the colloquial one of terminating.

Tennis has the concept of "unforced errors" and when I think about political/military adventurism, this concept comes to mind. If Italy hadn't been stupid in Somaliland, who knows what counterfactuals emerge? Nobody in t

Great read. Some of his shorter one off stories are fantastic. Amber, he just got lazy and left far too many loose ends, started hares, got lost playing d&d with the reader. And then sold the franchise to John Bettancourt which is a de

Right off the bat your response raises questions because if the US leadership knew from day one this was a protracted fight then they stand having made entirely contradictory statements regarding their intent and expectations in that regard

I don't have many old tools, but the ones I do have very satisfying human aspects. They are unversally hard metal and no soft grip. Sometimes somebody five decades or more wrapped some cloth tape around them, or they have gnurled grip

Hopefully that is reassuring. Worryingly I would like some sense of confirmation but in any case I expect a declaration it's not a valid real result because that's what happened before, counts not withstanding.

Would the current state of affairs qualify for cancelling the mid-terms? Is that overly cynical? Not in the US, not a US citizen or voter. My suspicion is the answer is "no, but it is not a given that a competent supreme court which lo

I think thats the point I was making. I was responding to a post which suggested the endowment should be adequate to self fund. It's clearly not. It's useful, self-directed funds.

Please bear in mind when you discuss "rent control" in the USA you really do mean the version you see in your locale. The idea that rent control sui generis failed worldwide is (in my personal opinion) a stretch. Public housing al

Did it ever have real input costs which justified its pricing or was it totally a synthetic price to cover an imagined value above base, and some IPR? I may be wrong, but I tend to think the fab cost has very little to do with the complexit

Price moves have hysteresis. The risk element in moving Oil hasn't gone, and the companies are looking to recover lost income in the month(s) and so whilst there is supply, there aren't necessarily boats in convenient places, or c

Given the size of the peninsula, you would think for strategic supply reasons there would be 25 pipes running in parallel, dug deep for resiliency, so worst case boats can dock, pipe and feed another boat the other side of the straight.

I'd say this is good in a trade diversity strategic sense. Being sole supplier is great if you can be the price setter but when you depend on price support, it means you're captive to the market in question, and US strategic behav
