That's Baylor, not Oregon.
I'm honestly surprised CN actually went through with it. I would not have done it. But I'm kinda petty like that, soooo
Better?
Welcome to Wyoming.
From an auld Imgurian, you are very welcome! So many from the Great Depression as well, and of course through the Civil RIghts and Antiwar movements from ~1960 onward. Pete Seeger's song (Waist Deep In The Big Muddy) is suddenly relevant again today. Bruce Springsteen and Billy Joel singing about Vietnam war vets returning home in the 1980s. And of course current artists adding to the catalogue. SO many examples of songs it's a little overwhelming.
Lot longer than the past half century, mate. Amazing Grace was basically a protest song against slavery, written by a slaver who became an abolitionist.
Don't kid yourself, that can and will happen anywhere with free capitalism. Most civilised countries will practice fair capitalism that provides a solid safety net for their populations and limits on big business.

Like a stem bolt?
If you aren't filled with rage, you aren't paying attention.
the same. If the US had helped Ho Chi Minh at that time then Vietnam would never have gone communist and the war wouldn't have happened.
First US troops went to Vietnam after the French withdrew in 1954. The communist North consolidated around Ho Chi Minh while the US propped up the South. Eisenhower only sent in 500 as peacekeepers. Kennedy nearly doubled it to 900, but it was a (likely staged) incident in 1964 when LBJ started sending troops in wholesale. Funny thing, Ho Chi Minh requested US help from the US starting in 1919 to make Vietnam independent from France. US troops who worked with him during WW2 recommended 1/
Yes, when he was elected a second time was when I knew to get out. I had worked a position that had a lot of international travel so Australia wasn't an unknown to me. I had moved up into an EE spot and had a few years experience at that point. A company that mine worked with had offered a spot for awhile but I didn't take them up on it until then. MCS isn't unique to USians but many do exhibit it pretty hard. It had bothered me for years though. Too many individual cowboys.
No worries mate. Was American but left after getting a job down here as I saw which way that shitshow was going. Will never go back. Just one of those skilled workers taken in by a civilised country. I do feel sorry for those friends I left behind but they're going to have to find their own way out or through. Feel much more at home down under than I ever did in my country of birth.
Dude, I'm in Australia but I know what you did in 1814. Make new deals with other countries, keep up the unofficial sanctions and boycotts, make use of the skilled refugees that flee the US and get work elsewhere. Love that PM Carney came here to Australia to try to forge new alliances. Forge a new Commonwealth deal, as the combined Commonwealth is bigger than the US. Maybe add Japan and Korea too. Those of us in Australia will work with you.
The Canadians still know the way, I'm sure.
I'll point out that's still a possibility.
Thanks!
What is this, an Oregon State frat house?
Other than have the CIA help the Brits overthrow a democracy and install a pliable king in *checks notes* Iran.
What's the channel?
Hello, fellow old!
The thing is, the crew of any ship-cargo ship, cruise ship, navy ship-there are always shenanigans. Always. And I really doubt that will ever change.
I don't want my alcohol to burn away. That's what I'm paying for.
Before Star Wars, most merchandise was just a lunchbox set and the soundtrack recording. Sometimes the movie poster if you were working the theater or knew someone who was. Star Trek did have model kits while the show was first airing, but kit maker AMT made a deal with Desilu to finance the shuttle prop's construction in exchange for rights to produce plastic kits of the Enterprise, Klingon, and Romulan ships.
A lot of people find LOTR to be excruciatingly boring and tedious. Do what makes *you* happy. Don't piss on what makes *other* people happy. Do piss on bigots every chance you can. These three guidelines will bring contentment and satisfaction to your life.
Can confirm. When I moved from the USA to Australia it wouldn't have cost much to add my car to the container, but converting it to Aussie standards was stupid expensive. Shipped my tools and books though, bought a Subaru locally.
What kind of cool science stuff you looking for? I have a couple electrical and aviation posters I can send you.
