The grandmother of a friend always used to say - wish in one hand and shit in the other and see which one is filled first.

Bieber is German for beaver. Finally someone made the connection.

That’s load bearing grease, don’t worry about it.

Or the beautiful German terms “Erdkampfflugzeug” or “Schlachtflugzeug”

Meh, close enough for the general public and us nerds know what a SU25 actually is.

I mean, in the US there is a coal mine that has been burning since at least 1962 so not surprised that an oil depot can go for a couple of weeks

Sure whatever you want to believe, I gave up on this thread having any sort of constructive argument or insight. Didn’t even have to be valuable insight, but there’s nothing here to be found.

I have pointed at exactly this sort of quantifier as being wrong already in my original comment.

Edit: Really, the above comment gets up votes for alleging something I explicitly spoke out against in my first comment? Guess it’s correct what people say about .ml

It wasn’t unique, it wasn’t a “one off”.

I disagree with the premise, the Holocaust was unique. It was unique in its effectiveness, it was a meticulously planned machinery of death the world has never seen before or after. The Jews weren’t just killed where they could be found, they were caught, cataloged, transported, sorted and then murdered as effectively as possible. Death on a well planned assembly line.

The unique framing appeals to conservatives as it feeds into exceptionalism and impunity. “We’re special!” It’s those people who only care about stuff when it happens to them.

That’s just a disgusting take just someone very privileged is able to have.

Iirc the factor that limited early nuclear submarines the most from continuous dives was the toilets, they have limited storage for sewage and it turns out that draining those with a greater outside pressure is a pretty difficult task, at least if you want to stay undetected.

Now that they have figured that out the limiting factor is food.

And before

Do us policy wonks have a working community in the fediverse btw? Been stumbling about a few mentions lately
