The gold price is fluctuating. It doesn't always go up.

Dumpling $15B on the market should lead to a drop. Anyway, the gold price is not always going up.

Money is a tool (maybe not the best) to make an economy with division of labor work. It's not required and probably also doesn't work in societies where everybody knows everybody else and can make sure that the right things are do

I'm not sure you'll attract the right kind of people with that much money. Probably a lot of people looking for a quick buck will apply, do a good job for long enough to not get outright fired, collect a few cash checks, and then

What's your point?

Where do you think husbands get their money from?

As a non-native English speaker I think English is actually not that bad. Just the orthography is beyond awful :)

It is still strictly better since the actual customers get priority.

Both Slavic languages and German have complex declination systems for nouns, verbs, and adjectives. Which is unlike stereotypical caveman speech.

There have been papers about introducing thinking tokens in intermediary layers that get stripped from the output.
161.
by samus 7mo ago
The solution to that is turning off thinking mode or reducing thinking budget.

There's linguistic term for this kind of speech: isolating grammars, which don't decline words and use high context and the bare minimum of words to get the meaning across. Chinese is such a language btw. Don't know what Chin

Lead times increasing to four years doesn't necessarily mean that every order will take that long. Since the additional orders are just there to cover idle periods, the government could omit an expected delivery time so regular order

The reality is that most women are simply not interested in raising more than two children per person. If this is undesirable from a societal perspective then they either need to be forced (which I hope you're not seriously suggesting)

That doesn't turn it into a physical reality like a stone or a stream of water that exists regardless of what animals think about it. Territories exist because they are defended. They are not obvious unless one deals with the means emp

The right reaction about bad things happening to a percentage of the population is to get rid of it if at all possible, not making everybody suffer from it. If you don't expect males to voluntarily sacrifice and die for the country, wh

That's a thought game, not reality.

Most actively wars are over long before the replacement rate starts to matter, and women that get pregnant or raise children will in all likelihood get an excemption from frontline duty.

None of this disqualifies women from service. Of course, special forces and frontline troops will face these challenges day-to-day , but women who can't handle this will simply wash out from those. Which is not a big problem; only a t

That's a generation of people who had to never suffer the prospect of invasion and occupation of German soil by hostile armed forces. Even so, this number of willing recruits would already be much more than the Bundeswehr can possibl

Russia likely also still remember the aftermath of Chernobyl; a nuclear strike so close to their home would hopefully be seen as something to avoid at all costs. On a similar note, Ukraine also still has a few bandages it could take off in

Unmotivated draftees are mostly used as a workforce. Especially in modern warfare, soldiers without significant training are worse than useless, as the wrong action at the wrong time can compromise the stealth and mission of their unit.

At the moment, the law has no teeth since they cannot stop anyone from just leaving without return ticket, and nothing happens when you return. Of course it would be very easy to change that, and that's the reason why it exists.

Territory is not something physical that just exists. It's an idea , no matter whether a human or any other animal feels the need to enforce it.

The constitution says so and at the moment it's unlikely for a qualified majority to be found to change it. It's as simple as that.

To put the number of 150000 total deployes soldiers into perspective, the Bundeswehr contingent in the end had a ceiling of 5350 troops.

Quite the contrary; up until the end of the Cold War both German states were highly militarized. They were quite happy to be able to roll back a lot of it after the reunification though.

US jets are massively more expensive and supposed to represent the state of the art. While the models used by Iran are considered to be museum pieces by any country that can afford more modern ones. Much more relevant to the current conflic
