When an entire nation becomes a support system for a war machine ravaging an entire region and killing tens of millions of innocent people, the notion of "innocent civilians" becomes a bit tenuous. Japan was in the wrong. It was a

How does portraying a criminal war aggressor as a victim support an anti-war message?

Kind of the opposite of the SR (short range) that packs more people in for less range. Popular in Japan where they regularly carry North of 500 people on short routes like Tokyo to Osaka.

So is it like RPython...Crystal programs running on Crystal convert other Crystals programs into C to build an interpreter that is then used to run yet other Crystal programs (the ones users write)?

Well if a smartphone app called Yo got funding, why not Twitter?

This seems like an overly complicated analysis. The things can can be lawful, like ordering a suspect to put their hands behind their backs are the lawful orders, even if a police officer might be acting unlawfully if issueing the order w

Why can't they just use a lock around the accept() like the thundering herd solution, that way the thread shutting down the socket can do so knowing nothing else is accepting new connections at the time?

These are the ones with the rotating collars which I believe is the bit that gets damaged (bearing inside and all that), not a bend to the main bar.

So what are runes then? Does the Latin alphabet consist of runes?
