I recommend the 10 thousand dollar mountain bike skill tree. It comes with fantastic physical skill development opportunities and outrageous adrenaline factor. Best of all, the wear parts are all obvious and cheap! Designed to burn, as it w

Let's go the other way! Any of these corporate entities that control am entire vertical were produced by the centralizing logic of the US economy and legal landscape. Boeing is but the USG's plane manufacturing division, masquerad

You wouldn't. That's not a meaningful claim about what other people would or wouldn't do. The juice looks entirely worth the squeeze from here. Iran now knows exactly the saturation point of your defenses with all allies en

Deep pockets in the sense of "can print indefinitely or until the inflation leaks into Bitcoin", and shallow pockets in the sense of actual artillery shells and interceptors.

Armaments for the last war. I have no idea why anyone thinks the expensive-pilot-in-expensive-platform is going to survive the drone swarm paradigm shift.
