Oh fuck off. My grandfather survived the Nazi occupation in southern Russia, was playing Hitler in the school theater comedy some 5 years later.

It was always called Turkiye in Turkish. I promise to use it in English as soon as Germany becomes Deutschland and Japan becomes Nippon.

Coutry wide only 16% of dental practices are DSO, and it's not that functionally different from junior dentists getting loans to set up their practices with practices themselves as a collateral.

Would holding some stock 40 year after buying it for dividend also be rent-seeking? Would rebuilding the apartment every so often straighten you back to profit-seeking? Rent-seeking is just a meaningless insult if framed like that, it highl

Classing all loans as usury help Europe back for a long time. I guess you could class some rent as predatory as well, allowing others to use your property for a fee is not necessarily predatory (unless you're of "property is theft

This equally applies to any investment income wouldn't it? Dividend, loan interest would all be classed as "unearned income" by a certain economic theory I won't name that keeps causing people suffering a century later.

So you can find the place where car thieves took it to take pictures, already knowing which city it was in from the ad. How useful is that!

An experimental cryogenic device doesn't sound very good in terms of reliability. A train could have a few free rubber-coated wheels dedicated for precise odometry, there could be cameras with optical flow/reference markers on the

Sounds like a grift with the only redeeming quality of advancing technology perhaps useful elsewhere. There's no way encoders on wheels with resets on stations/junctions is not enough for precise train positioning.

It could reasonably be a non-insider, just someone monitoring comms activity, ship movement, pentagon pizza and parking indexes, and other open sources.

Other than by launching nukes (and getting 10x on themselves) China has no capability to attack the US. I don't think attacking SK is unlikely because it's "unfair", but rather because there's no incentive to do so.

They already have a border with Pakistan and got exactly zero problems from it (if anything, China is the one to stir up shit on that border). You seem to be repeating Putin-style propaganda points. Stalin and Mao were never threatened by t

Nowhere near Maduro's by any reasonable threshold or metric. Not even the most hardcore TDS in-patients claim otherwise.

Us has these nifty things called aircraft carriers, which were used to capture Maduro as well. They can be in international waters, the choppers fly quite far. China would not retaliate against the US.

China, Cuba and Russia sent him air defences and some personal guards. What would China's millions do if Kim was kidnapped? Invade Seoul that had no say in it?

Maduro was protected by both China and Russia.

It's hard to justify caring about one company's cosmetic design decisions.

The war has already started.

It will be worth for Russia as long as the rust buckets they are using for the purpose are cheaper than cable repairs and knock-on effects from whatever downtime, and the uncertainty it brings to the West.

Russians are blocked, Russia isn't.

Typically only the master and mates are liable for breaches like that? It's not that a boatswain, a C/E decides when to drop an anchor.

They can use 30-year old handysize rust buckets that can be cheaper than some cable repairs. Jailing crews in comfy Scandinavian prisons can hardly be a strong deterrent either. Russia is all-in on this confrontation, Europe is much wealthi

A real explanation would have been something along the lines of - Intel optimized something MS asked for, so now X and Y syscalls are faster or - MS wrote some super-optimized BLAS/LAPACK libraries for this exact CPU which were are not

You hire a bum for 6 figures to rubberstamp things with a slight risk of going to jail.

If there's competition they'll race each other to costs+overhead.

Fine, just don't masquerade your canvassing as something that's supposed to help with your mental health.

I'm not sure I'm following but I think what he means is that if normal parenthesis around an addition mean this addition must precede multiplication, these anti-parenthesis around a multiplication have to make addition take place

Worse, it's canvassing for a political movement.

It also deflates pretty slowly. I'd guess any breeze would remove the hazard altogether.

How does that compare to a horse? I want a saddle-broken bear.
