They also were trying to produce the most powerful non-jet engine going, which is a difficult technical problem. Parts were magnesium to save weight, which could get rather excited if some parts broke and the fire started. A small time to

Part of the problem was that the US Civil War was derided as a second-rate war in a colonial country. It demonstrated the power of the defence over the offence, and the sheer magnitude of war that an industrialized nation could create. Mo

Particularly amongst the civilians in Asia who had suffered over the last 10 years. Ending the war quickly stopped this killing, aside from the Japanese and American + allies lives. And the early bombs were merely efficient ways to level a

Gee, I hope ICE doesn't bugger up all that sweet foreign investment in the US. It is <foreign> investment after all, so maybe they'll arrest it so that good, solid, US investment can take their place? Makes one wonder abou

“The results in this book imply that once children’s basic material needs are met, characteristics of their parents become more important to how they turn out than anything additional money can buy.” Ah. So you favour paying "their c

Are these “excessively paid servers” working 40 hour jobs with benefits, or are they hourly piece-workers without them? Even for younger people, health costs are real and it’s nice to build up something for the future. As the first poster

Throw in: Unwilling or unable to build out the charger network. No power for EV’s as it’s going to crypto and ai. And to aluminum smelting. And to heating the northern states. And to cooling the southern ones. And losing the energy from

Hmm... Guess they want mothers to have 2-4 years of sick kids? I predate the vaccines (old fart, eh?) and I remember a lot of sick time in grades 1-4. Topped with pneumonia and an ulcer. Guess it stressed me out. Did it make it lose mu

These percentages seem small, smaller than the news hype. They might indicate that the boycott isn't strong, or that preplanned trips are still occurring. But the next 6 months should provide more guidance. It all comes down to what

It might (will?) come down to Canada deciding that Trump can't be negotiated with and that appeasement isn't a smart move. If that comes to pass, digital taxes and rules can be resurrected or continued. No clue what is actually

Given that drug cartels aren't noted for kindness, I would think this raises the risk level for any gringo anywhere in Central or South America. Can't see them targeting the military, but everybody else better look over their sho

Can’t read article. 30 years more time in the market, through some good times? That and inflation run up for house value. Don’t think boomers at 35 were doing that well.
