Europe didn't see war since WW2, regional, nasty conflicts in the Balkans and Eastern Europe not withstanding. Conventional, near-peer warfare, involving modern armies, wasn't a thing since Korea. Things change, organizations and

And that is enough to whish him ill? Hint, Schröder was long gone from power when Putin invaded Ukraine. Not defending Schröder in any way, just pointing at some discurs issues.

I do not think that at all, hence why I asked.

by hef19898 3y ago
And why so exactly?

by hef19898 3y ago
No, new nuclear plants don't help. Too expensive, too long to built and too little capacity being added.

It always pizzles me, when people seem to think German gas imports from Russia are a recent thing. They are not, they date back to the 70s, the hight of the Cold War, when the imports came from the USSR (!). Reliably and cheap, I might add.

Besides three weeks longer transportation leas times and higher trabsportation costs, there won't be much of an impact either way so. That the US and the UKndecide to bomb the Houthis over this, and escalate the whole already FUBAR sit

And if you happen to end up there any way, make sure you die properly and in grace. Aka, manage your bankruptcy properly, without any shenenigans and refusal to accept the inevitable.

At least they value tradition, values and mission. Sounds like a stable bank in more than one sense. Agree so, there shoupd have been a bunch of jail sentences for laundering cartel money. But then financial crimes at that scale rarely get

How about no household surveillance at all? Crazy idea, I know.

One caviat I'd like to add: what the right and wrong people are depends a lot on the bus, the destination and the driver. Otherwise, I fully agree!

In my experience, but I know I am unconventional, half-organized chaos. You do need motivated, good people for that so. The chaos bit is those people figurong out their stuff themselves, while the organized bit is szrict following up on del

I know that you are right, it is just so incredibly stupid.

Seems VC backed start-ups are the real lifestyle companies for their founders, doesn't it?

Cost savings and quality live on different scales so.

Boeing is about as representative of the US government, or country, as German soccer is for our government.

by hef19898 3y ago
Boeing will be as well for the 737 Max, in the history books that is. And so far, Space X only got more junk up to places we already did junk up to before. SpaceX ahs yet to get us some place we haven't been in space, or at the very le

I am an engineee of sorts, and have zero illusions about the shit engineers can cause, and do.

Depends in the misdrills. Can be as easy as redrilling with a larger diameter to fix. Not every Boeing issue is a clusterfuck.

You should read up on where Airbus sites are, and especially why .

Nor is it an indicator for good business ethics: exhibit A, the VW Diesel scandal.

You always want a human in the loop. FDS sometimes drives into trucks or disengages randomly. Automated defence systems shoot at stuff they consider to be a threat, and that can be anything from non-combatants to friendlies. Or just the ene

The Wehrmacht was stopped before Moscow by the Soviets before lend-lease supplies had any meaningful impact. And the Soviet would not have ended the war when the UK exited it. Which never was an option to begin with, a seperate peace with

Yeah, same way Germany won two world wars. Until around the half way mark, then they lost. Or a soccer team wins a match by being ahead 2 - 0 at half time and then losing 2-3.

Good for him I guess. Leaves civil lotigation, or not, IANAL after all. As I said, nothing happening to him is a possible outcome as well.

The only side accused of Genozid in the current Gaza war is Israel. October 7th was a terror attack, not Genozid. What Russia does in Ukraine is a conventional war, not Genozid neither.

The US lost in Vietnam, in fact the Paris treaty came as close to unconditional surrender as it gets without using the term. Same in Afghanistan, NATO lost hard after being slowly kicked out of the country. In both cases, none of the US or

The US were extremely willing to cut North Vietnamese supply lines, including illegal operations in neighbouring countries. The only thing not tried was flattening cities in the North by air (that approach didn't work in WW2 neither, s
