  • Klendathu is shown to be on the opposite side of the Milky Way. It is physically impossible for the bugs to hurl meteors at these distances while accounting for drift, every piece of matter in between and also the time difference. "Oh yeah, let's launch this meteor so it can destroy a city called Buenos Aires, that hasn't been founded yet by a species that hasn't evolved yet."

    They didn't learn anything at the end, they all remained the same characters, still happy to be gears in a military machine. Oh, and NPR mutilated the brain bug's face vagina.

    The music made you feel this way, but that's to manipulate you to do so.

  • It's even more dire, because where in the developed world can you incarcerate someone for 14k? I would estimate that depending on the kind of treatment these people get, you're looking at costs of at least 50% GDP/capita, if not more.

    US GDP/capita is around 70k USD, average costs per inmate per year are around 40k USD.

    Germany GDP/capita is 46k EUR, average cost per inmate are at around 43k EUR.

    So essentially we either kill them or house them inhumanely like livestock forever, OR we reintegrate them and use incarceration as a last resort, there is no other way. People who advocate for life in prison for anything but murder have no clue what they're talking about.

  • But it isn't? Many countries are supporting Ukraine, and there are more ways than shipping weapons there to do it.

    The thing is, the US is just so fucking big and it also has the biggest military industrial complex by far, so who else should do it? Proportional to GDP, it's not that much.

    Also, in the past, other nations have contributed to America's wars. Japan paid something like 10 billion USD to the US for the Gulf War in 1991, which I think was around 20% of the total cost.

  • There are electric water heaters that can take the preheated water from the general system and give it the last boost to exactly the temperature you desire. Ideally those would be installed relatively close to wherever you need the water. They are less efficient, but on the plus side, they only heat whenever and exactly how much you need
