In short: there is no viable "all-out war" between Russia and the US, as both have sufficient seconary strike capability regardless of how overwhelming the first strike is. Both sides can irritate the other to some degree, but once a threshold is crossed you'll inevitable end up with Mutual Assured Destruction (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutual_assured_destruction) once loss is guaranteed for one side. /1
DEM: We do not sell those weapons to Israel.
GOP: We do sell those weapons to Israel.
You: Its the same!
Trump isn't angry about [content of whatever topic is being discussed], he is angry he is being defied about a point he was being applauded for by his voters. Whether it is about eggs, genocide or immigration is irrelevant to him. Its about compliance, nothing else. And he is more than willing to tank the US economy in retaliation, no matter how small the perceived slight. /2
Context: Trump's main selling point was countering illegal immigration. He claimed it was about being willing to deport people. Reality is that recipient countries need to cooperate, and they typically do not (same bottleneck in EU migration policy). Colombia is now demonstrating that very issue (as is Mexico). /1
Here it is short for memecoin; cryptocurrency themed around an internet meme. Like the hawk-tuah coin, dogecoin and so on. It is really, really stupid but because sufficient numbers of people are somehow even dumber there is a large amount of money to be made creating and dumping these coins. Its assholes grifting morons, pushed by social media algos.
It would be a territory incorporated into the US, like Puerto Rico. They would have no voting rights.
Yes. If you want to deliver services in [country X] you will have to abide by their legal system.
Plus being a famous whistleblower kills your career pretty fast in tech (or pretty much all industries I guess). Its a combination of huge disappointment, pressure, threats and seeing most of your future be destroyed at a pretty young age.
In early classical Greece there was a philosophy just like that. Before birth people are half of a little sphere. The spheres are cut in half, and each half is later born somewhere. Sexual orientation is the longing for your other half. The manliest men come from manly spheres: male + male, and are gay. Straight people, the majority, are from male/female spheres, which are kinda meh. Lesbians, being from female+female spheres, are lamentable and weak.

Not the dealer, typically this more commonly happens at a party with dipshits who think they are funny or want to show you "its not such a big deal".
Yes, it is a genuinely fun read. Grim in its own right, and depressing in modern context, but still fun.
Exactly. Its easy to type "I dont care if they beat me up" but in reality every fibre in your body very much will care. Very few people will walk up alone to a group of people to get severely hurt "on general principle". Its not how we are wired.
As a reminder: deportations dropped off *significantly* under Trumps first term, in no small part due to other governments being reluctant to cooperate with Trump after his less than graceful public remarks about, well, most other countries on Earth. /3
Its the biggest bottleneck in the EU migration situation. There are loads of "illegal immigrants" that have exhausted all legal appeals and remain in holding pending deportation, but there simply is nowhere to move them to. Their original country refuses to accept them, and we need to pay unrealistic amounts to third party countries that are willing to accept them provided we compensate them sufficiently. So this whole plan depends on Trump being a master negotiator, which he might not be.../2
FWIW: Some Americans are about to learn mass deportations are rather challenging to organize unilaterally. You cant dump them into the ocean, and you cant force a host country to accept people even if you strip their US nationality. So far most other governments cooperate, often in exchange for something. But they might refuse (like some already do) or demand much more in return when the numbers increase drastically. /1
In this case "short- term support for longe-range strikes" is definitely irritating Russia, but it doesn't cross the threshold. Indefinite support would have crossed it. Its also a response to Russia using troops from North-Korea, which is definitely irritating us but likewise does not cross the thresshold. /2

Some context for those confused as to what happened. This level of military support is, when indefinite, unsustainable for Russia. In such a position, they have no choice but to trigger MAD. Trump's victory however assures Putin this policy will be active for only 2 months. This provides them a reasonable alternative to MAD; suffering significant losses for a limited amount of time.
Without Trump's victory, this would have been a near-suicidal policy change. Now it's a "free" boon for Ukraine.
Because both parties de facto need to agree to it, and one party will lose out when it happens. Noone who profits from unfairness votes for a fairer approach.
I go for option 3) I've checked his credentials and track record.
Mike Tyson said God told him to fight Jake Paul after smoking toad venom. There ya go, that's a perfectly fine sentence.
Decades? It is quite literally centuries...
That is objectively false. NOS is constantly updating their reporting, including mentioning the misbehavior of the Maccabi fans. This includes the chants, physical violence and intimidation. https://nos.nl/artikel/2544021-maccabi-fans-hadden-planken-en-riemen-politie-neemt-beelden-mee-in-onderzoek
Latex is more commonly used in faculties where you frequently have to write math equations in your texts (as that used to be far worse to do in Word than it is now). Social sciences/humanities often use word because it is perfectly fine for that.

No, I am not assuming that. I am saying that having measures as targets is *essential*. That you need the right measures used the right way is also true, but a different argument. The issue with boeing was that management intentionally ignored safety concerns found by QA and hid them from inspection, not that QA had measures as targets.
Exactly. People here are confusing the original quote with "don't have shitty, incorrect or irrelevant measures".
Sure, but "tales of infanticide echo today" because there is a ton of video footage of dead kids killed by Israel. Pretending that is just anti-semitism is lazy.
That is a great quote in the right context. Are you talking about fiscal/monetary policy? Sure, its an interesting concept. Are you talking about QA procedures in mechanical engineering? Not so much.
