Isn’t “targets” just all non-submarines?

The German IBM subsidiary was, in my book, a collaborator for sure and morally culpable. I don’t have a view on whether a private enterprise can be a Nazi.

Right, the distinction between Puerto Rico’s status …. whatever it is (yeah, yeah, organized unincorporated possession …. whatever that is) and U.S. states led me to surmise that Puerto Rico is actually slightly more sovereign than a U.S. s

That’s an interesting question. I’m not sure I’ve ever thought about it, but definitionally, I think I’d have to say they’re a Nazi. Especially if they’re, like, presenting golden trophies to curry favor with higher-ups in the organization.

The rich bank depositors in Cyprus got pretty, pretty wiped out when they bailed-in the banks after the banking system collapsed. Lots of them were Russian oligarchs stashing funds abroad, so my sympathy for them is extremely extremely limi

I said countries can’t go bankrupt. You said yes they can, and yes, they can default on their debts. I said default and bankruptcy isn’t the same thing, so a.) being in default doesn’t mean you’re in bankruptcy and b.) as far as I know, the

Countries can default on their obligations or become insolvent, but there’s no sovereign bankruptcy forum for restructuring a country’s debts in an orderly process by which all creditors are bound. That’s the difference between insolvency a

Default isn’t the same as bankruptcy. If it were, Argentina wouldn’t have gotten shafted by Paul Singer or had one of its naval vessels seized on a port visit abroad.

I wonder which will turn out to be a better investment for the US government, the Intel stock or the Argentine pesos. I really don’t think I’d care to hazard a guess either way… Gun to my head, I might actually say Argentina. Countries can’

Vets are really the most amazing doctors and I hate to see what is happening to their industry. Hopefully in exchange for dealing with the bullshit of human health care, at least maybe the money is getting a little better for them (a lot of

Which is it? Can you use it today, or has the key long since been blacklisted? I guess both are probably true (the key’s been blacklisted for decades, but no one’s checking the blacklist anymore because the servers have been shut down) but

Classic contracts cover liability and allocation of risk in, like, literally every contract ever written?

My theory is that stuff like this converges on the most economic and market-accepted form factor over time. Look at airliners over the last half of the 20th century - you had all kinds of weird and interesting designs (727, CV990, L-1011, C

I live in the American sunbelt and my residential AC has basically been out the last week. I can easily see why this region was such a backwater until air conditioning became widespread.

I’m pretty scared of heights and generally haven’t been triggered by any long escalators into subways, but there’s one on the DC Metro (Adams Morgan maybe?) that kind of freaked me out.

It would seem to me that there’s a pretty, pretty big difference between relying on a half-dozen 80-year-olds to restore some forgotten warbird on a volunteer basis, and maintaining stewardship of an irreplaceable and literally priceless na
