Festivity Doctrine, if you will.

Ternary computing is some serious alt-history fodder.

From what I hear, the war spending is still pretty low, all things considered. This could just be another autarky subsidy.

It's like he became the opposite of King Midas.

Soviet tanks were usually very good tankwise, but lacking in softer stats. Their big problems were that they needed to arm a huge conscript (or even worse, draftee) army, so they hoarded everything past obsolescence and most of it was below standard (T-62 wasn't that good even back then, but they're still in service) and the lagging electronics industry meaning their night sights, FCS, and in particular thermals were awful. There's solid argument that until the advent of NATO "box" tanks and the Rheinmetall 120mm soviet designs were better than everyone elses, but beyond they were quickly overtaken.

It's certainly better than letting you break the gear, but still, you'd expect reverse to be able to assist with braking.

And now, when we complain about foreign meddling, we can rightfully be reminded of what our side did to others...

Oh, you haven't heard? Bringing up any comparison with anything is now whataboutism, and means you're actually Russian.

It's incredibly annoying, though, that you can only copy boards in the app, and when you do it makes triplicate of all the cards.

Why steal data when you can just make it up!

Yes, so is Tylenol. I was saying the J&J didn't discover paracetamol, they were just the first to market it in the US (or, more likely, bought the company that did).

Same with Europe, Panadol, and GSK.

Podman breaks the retroencabulation.

The chemical was discovered in the 19th century. Tylenol is a US thing, the common name in Europe is Panadol.

I find the opposite works fine: I don't have to know the exact words, but I doo look up the translation to know what the song is actually about.

You know how every once in a while there's an article going "man, check out all this illegal fucked up shit the CIA was doing 20 years ago, sure is great they stopped and don't do anything illegal and fucked up anymore", and the date they stopped doing the illegal shit is always "20 years ago", regardless of when the article is published?

Well, that.

Yeah, but if they do anything about it, they're terrorists, which means you get to kill them. And if they don't, just kill them anyway, and if their parents or siblings...

For context that the Daily Beast clearly doesn't care to give: the "an army building" is the army headquarters, on prime realestate, hit in the bombing and intentionally left in disrepair. It's a memorial already. The lot is being leased, basically as a gift, to Kushner, to build a luxury hotel. The repeated, blatant corruption has drawn criticism of the government and Kushner from the Serbian people.

The "Memorial to the victims statement" is meant to paper over this.

Posers, man. They steal your thing and ruin it for everyone.

Ah, you mean the Bellamy salute!

English is three languages in a trench coat.

Spanglish is four languages in a trench coat.

Funny thing, I made the same question in reverse once, and the crowd on here descended on me for "whataboutism".
