Of all the current nuclear weapons delivery systems, Trident is probably the most reliable. Minuteman might be up there due to being a very very mature system, but I would take Trident in a heart beat. https://www.iiss.org/o

This all sounds great in the abstract. But reality is different due to the power differential. McNally is just one dude (albeit with a huge following). Lee is obviously a toxic jerk and his attacks and mockery of McNally triggered both McNa

Well, it is lichess and online (as I'm sure you're aware) is a very different kettle of fish than OTB. But thank you for your kindness.

I (like many) started playing chess online during COVID and despite being too damn old, I wanted to see how high I could climb in ratings. Soon I found Danya, then Gotham, then IMRosen. All who loved this damn game so much. Even found I lik

Hero worship is pretty bad in tech circles. Just because Bezos has managed to win at the money game, doesn't mean he's a good person. He's pretty sociopathic. I know several people who worked with him very closely in the begi

Improvement is usually done via competition. Sometimes the competition is price based, and sometimes quality based. In the best of worlds, both. For example, there are a ton of cheap crappy woodworking tools. Think Stanley etc. They barely

That would be much larger than a "small" force. In the US that would approach the size of the active duty Army.

Everyone is underestimating how hard it is to willingly kill a person. Shooting a paper target or apple at a range is nothing like sighting on a person, letting out your breath and pulling a trigger.

Being a generational running back with a huge NFL contract makes it much easier to invest like this than the average back who only lasts a couple of years in the NFL. Plus Barkley is also the beneficiary of plenty of endorsements. When the

Running overhead wires cross country in the US would be exorbitantly expensive. In the city? Sure, though it would be ugly. In the countryside, not a chance of it being workable.
