Hey I just tried the trick of sounding it out and I got it! Thanks Picard manoeuvre (I still don't know how to ping).

They do? Well probably because it's their neighbor.

The new fleet of submarines will be conventionally powered and capable of operating under ice.

Um knowing nothing about Arctic logistics, I'm surprised at this. I thought they'd want nuclear powered. But maybe this is posturing before trying to get in on the aukus deal.

US military sales are not limited to subs. Doubtless they want to sell more planes and everything else. You can look up graphs of US arms exports, it's a lot.

Barrie to Montreal.

And I can see through your personal attack. Cheers.

It's been around for a long time but you stop using it like that once you have a sliver of adulthood. The point being that no Biden did not use it as a double entendre.

No. It only has that meaning if you're 14 and very edgy. No adult will use it like a teenager would.

Capitalism doesn't look that far ahead.

I agree it's going to be problem. It's already happened when we exported manufacturing jobs to China. Most of what was left was retail which didn't pay as much but we struggled along (in part because of cheap products from China). I think that's why trinkets are cheap but the core of living (housing and now food) is relatively more expensive. So the older people see all the trinkets (things that used to be expensive but are now cheap) and don't understand how life is more expensive.

Sick is said as a bad thing. But in teenager slang it can be used as something cool.

Fascinating.

Stanley Kubrick screenplay iirc.

Parking lots ain't going anywhere.

But then your feet aren't touching the ground. It only said feet.

Roomba.

Looks like a lego guy at first.

The significant plumes of smoke generated when the weapon was fired indicate that it does not make use of commercial small arms ammunition propellant (‘smokeless powder’), and may instead use blackpowder or an alternative propellant. This makes the use of ‘separate-loading’ ammunition (i.e., propellant and projectile loaded separately into the weapon) more likely, as well as increasing the likelihood that the weapon was a muzzle-loading design—that is, loaded from the bore (‘front’ of the barrel), rather than the breech (‘rear’ of the barrel) of the firearm.

the weapon appears to use an electric firing mechanism. Images of the firearm show that an electrical wire passes through each endcap. ...This high voltage creates a hot plasma arc between two conductive contacts that can be used to ignite flammable materials

I had no idea the Shinzo Abe thing was a doohickey. I take it that's not a regular bullet? How did it work?

Do the old ones work on floppy disks? Or was that still way too advanced at the time.

I'm shocked. Shocked!
