Bold claim, bold claim. Any proof of that? Other than Israel's "Trust me, bro"?

Tornado Cash was what, money laundering and circumvention of sanctions? Pretty illegal.

GAS: Gear Acquisition Syndrome, at least photographers call it that. Not to be confused with collecting , which has no notions of taling better pictures and is purely concerned with acquiring things for the sake of having it. GAS always ha

Even Leica glass is somewhat overrated, at the very least incredibly overpriced. Same goes for Zeiss, even if Zeiss glass is really good.

by hef19898 3y ago
And Leica being an overprived status symbol, I explicitly include Leica glass, predates any Sony digital camera by a couple of decades as well.

Yeah, that's what happens when a fraud, a crook ruins a business and bankruptcy lawyers have to take over to save whatever can be saved for victims of said fraud.

Since this this whole shit shownof a thread started with a claim about drugs and rapes in a Berlin park, this statement of yours, re: statics for France, is interesting: >> it's just an example because I know where to get these s

Fair enough

by hef19898 3y ago
Since when is Berlin in France? Also, not all foreigners are equal, if you get the drift. Also, you, like a lot of people, ignore the connection between crime, poverty, economic stability and ethnicity. And your conclusion is, well, racist.

The fable of linking illegal migrants to rape and drug trafficking when number show no such thing at scale. Also, how do you tell a illegal from a legal migrant? Did you go to your rapist drug den park and ask for papers?

by hef19898 3y ago
No, the reason is the racism.

Not just the now legalized crime, but also related crime: theft, violence, money laundering, tax evasion...

That is a conclusion so, that is not supported by spurce material or facts. It is used to justify the use of nukes to force Japan to surrender by giving credibility to the claim that the jukes saved US lives. That is my problem, because it

It is a first step so, isn't it?

The last big experiment around drug prosecutiond and legalization, the prohibition, showed a drop in crime after legalization. Out of curiosity, what other businesses you had in mind?

Oh, wow, some hardliners weren't happy and tried a coup. That failed. Obviously representative for the overall leaderahip and the nation at large. And a perfectly fine reason to bomb civilians...

I usually added a fair share of not listening to advice from people I didn't want to listen to for various reasons. Now I try my best to seperate the message from the messeneger as much as I humanly can. Part of the learning experience

Agree, except this bit: >> The point is that, even in with the benefit of hindsight, it seems to me that this much force was actually needed to make some very arrogant leaders stop their war. None of the leaders actually cared a singl

Fascinating reading of the timeline. And it does sound a tad like justifying the bombing of civilians, nukes or fire bombing doesn't matter here, for something the leadership does.

by hef19898 3y ago
Yes, strategic bombing had no meaningful impact, not on Germany nor on Japan. Or Britain. By the time the nukes dropped, Japan had already lost everything they needed to continue fighting: ships, raw materials, supply lines, trained soldier

On that, we absolutely agree! Im the end so, those who let some calculation decide for them and those who just throw solutions at the wall, are equally bad at decision making. I know, because I made my share of bad decisions, especially ear

I consider myself to be rather good in my field. Which is exactly why I take every bit of data I can get before I provide my opinion or decide something. Every situation is different, facts change, so I have to evaluate my opinion each and

I'd like to see some sources dor those numbers. Also, Japan was ready to surrender, nukes or not.

By all definitions, including papers written by both, RAF Bomber Command and the USAAF at the time, deliberate bombing of enemy cities and civilians was a) a crime and b) didn't produce a meaningful effect on enemy moral or warfighti

The people who got the warnings, average people in the cities, were not the ones who tried a coup. Nor were they ij charge of anything...

Sure. Pedestrian protection on trucks, especially US trucks / SUVs is much worse compared to more compact designs. As is visibility forbthe driver. Combined, this is bad news for pedestrians and cyclists. Add distractions by phones,

That you are as often wrong as you are right? If you have numbers, good ones, use them during decision finding.

by hef19898 3y ago
All of the above needs some basis in reality, aka numbers. Otherwise it is just guess work.

A function? Yes. Realistically linked? No, absolutely not. Added caviat: expected financial success, current and past success are either irrelevant or already priced in.
