Shocking, just like the months of threats against Greenland to eventually make a deal that is... *Checks Notes* The exact deal we've had since the 50's?
It takes one to know one.
Exactly, the learned from, and improved upon, the Vietnam strategy.The US won Every straight up engagement with the NVA, but the US lost the war. They showed America can be beat without having to overpower, you only need to outlast.
11 Years Later... I'm in the hospital next door to McKinley right now.
Or a young Vimes, early in in his time with the watch (possibly after being properly trained by Vimes from the future)
Made me think of Carrot Ironfoundersson for a moment.
Id only be younger than the dad. Welp, my days ruined and it aint even 6am yet....
Will do!
Ive lived across 6 counties in NE Ohio thru my life. Grew up next to Geauga Lake Park (if you know, you know.) Lived in Amish Country in Geauga, Ravenna, Akron, Cleveland, Alliance and now, southern Carroll County.
Indeed! I used to live about a block behind the North Hill library.
Am I still perverted if I'm not wearing clothes? Thus, I couldn't be naked beneath my clothing, right?
Are they armed with the can of soup, or allied with it?
It has helped the cause that cigarette prices have gone up by alot during the campaign.But in my opinion, that was the worst method to take. Government likes to tout the programs benefiting from the increased tax revenue (because a good chunk of those high prices come from the taxing). But, of the cost forces people to quit, suddenly those important programs are getting less money, and then the attempted fix is increase the tax, which makes more people quit.
I mean, the colonization of space will be necessary eventually. Not only due to overpopulation, but history has shown that Earth isn't immune to species wiping space rocks. Spreading out to other worlds may be the only way to keep our civilization from going the way of the dinosaurs.I dunno, I was raised on the optimism of Star Trek, so... My views may be a bit biased in that direction.
I believe the technological potential is already here. It's just politics and greed that has chosen to set aside science and exploration, for a quick profit instead.
I know there were no actual experts involved in that specific article. Hence the quotation marks. I was more so using it to make the point of doubt on the comment I was replying to. In just over 65 years, we went from the first powered flight, to landing on the moon. 60 years after that, we've sent probes into interstellar space (which are still functioning, nearly 50 years after launching), we've landed probes on Venus, Mars (robots too), and even Titan.
The thing is, in an article on October 19th, 1903, in thw New York Times, it was stated that "experts" believed that heavier than air powered flight may be possible in 1 million to 10 million years. 69 days later, the Wright Brothers succeeded.The only thing limiting humanities potential to spread into space is not a technological one, but Greed.
He has managed to achieve in "going to space" what NASA achieved (then quickly surpassed) in 1961. Bozos dick rocket barely crosses the Karman Line. Hell, On May 5th, 1961, Alan Shephards flight (First Manned US Spaceflight) went nearly twice as high, and at a technology level of more than 60 years ago. And a month before that, Yuri Gagarin orbited the earth in the First Manned Space Flight.
Remember when the thought of robots replacing the workforce was a utopian idea? Where the technology was supposed to make life easier for all of us? I wish we had stayed on that path... I really, really do...
Being from Cleveland, I had a Cavs version. But same none the less, I loved that coat, eventually it had to go as it was coming apart.
At, not attack. I was more at risk for stroke than heart attack x.x. Severe Hypertensive Crisis.
I do drink alot of of water... now... >.>Health scare with my heart attack the end of July made me change ALOT of habits of mine. Cut most of the soda from my diet, sodium too (doctor said to), and I quit smoking (tobacco).
The only plumbers in the Mushroom Kingdom are the Mario Brothers. At least Mario would be coming by appointment this time.
Shriners Children's Hospitals were founded in 1922.

I understand fully, for I am the same way.
Unfortunately, not that I have found.
Ty ^^. Is OC too. Took them yesterday.
Every Zoo is a petting zoo if you aren't a coward
