Oh, they are going to invade Venezuela. That's not what this is for. They have an explicit goal of imprisoning/enslaving/murdering at least 6 million US citizens a year for the next three years. That's what this is for. Don't limit these idiots to one thing. They can do two things.

It’s not Venezuela this justifies. This allows the invasion of the USA. The national guard can be deployed against WMDs.

Your question has been answered. I just want to point out that the standard format is "reduce, reuse, recycle" This was 100% intentional.

#6 a better way to fix the balance issue with martials vs. casters is to remove attacks of opportunity from the game. All they do is lock martials in position, slow combat, and reduce fun. Better to replace them with actions that grant enemies advantage against you. Like casting a spell, opening a door... AOOs are already a bad thing, more bad does not make things better.

Also note that very few ancient languages had a word that actually translates to "the whole world" the way we use that phrase in English. People who only ever walk, seldom travel far in their lives, and who don't have all that much math, don't need a word for planet as we know it. Hence Alexander the "Great" lamenting that he had conquered all the known "worlds." The closest real translation is "all the land you know of or can see."

Thank you for reminding me about this song. And the Nethack song that came from it.

Rainbow Road, let’s a go. It’s a me, Mario. Mushroom kingdom, Yoshi’s Island. Let’s a go. Rainbow Road.

Modern missiles are scary as. From detection to impact you expect 8-15 seconds. So, ships respond dramatically. By comparison drones are slower, easier to detect, and far more fragile than missiles. Currently there is a window, until tech and doctrine change to accommodate drones, where drones can provoke excessive reactions. (planes falling off the deck) but not threaten the ship. There is a push for laser/radio weapons to counter this. Probably will be in place in about 5 years.

No. But it could, possibly, be terribly inconvenient. For the next few years. There's a few reasons. Firstly, carriers are bigger than you think. The drones just don't have enough explosive power to cause a real problem. Second, the drones have a very limited range, about 20 miles from the truck. Carriers are not that close to shore. But, there is no unique response for drones. They are treated like missiles. 1/2

I want to recommend not overdoing the bmq/bmoq prep. 35lbs, 8 km is the most it will demand of you. What you want to worry about is that place is a nightmare mix of every cold/flu/whatever from every high school in the country. And lots of stairs. It isn’t uncommon for people to work and stress themselves into being vulnerable to disease and stress fractures. Then getting sick in Farnham.

Trouble is, we don’t want the ship. We want the society/culture that built it. We get that and the ship will come with it.

Legal Eagle has described is as: instead of law enforcement, we have enforcement without law.

He thinks he's done that. The billionaires made a fortune the last few weeks. It can't enter his mind that anyone else exists. Let alone that all that money didn't come from other countries. It all came from poor, or at least poorer, Americans.

Fun fact: Canadair went bankrupt after Boeing demanded tariffs and the US government complied.

Too late for that friend. Canada is now with Europe, making friendly moves towards China. The only ties now are inertia and fear. Sorry. Threats of annexation were too far.

It'll compound with his push to deregulate. Countries do not imporrt goods unless they are made to that countries standard. As American regulations, and regulation enforcement drops. US goods will not be permitted entry. Trump will react to this with trade wars exacerbating the problems.

America has just announced it is a hostile nation to all. No hostile nation can ever be included in the military supply chain. It will take a few years for some contracts to play out. But the US will not be able to sell arms for any price. Expect an 80% drop in the US economy. That will not come back. Not for decades.

He loves running on the ragged edge of failure under ideal conditions. Ability to handle anything other than a perfect world, to his idiotic standards of perfection, are non optimal. It’s a miracle of crap that he has any money at all.

That stream of nonsense was so stupid that I had to read this twice to realize that it was supposed to be a positive comment about him.

Redundancy is good in architecture, commenting on the colour of clothes in that context is pretty idiocy, improving acoustics by 17% is something a moron would would daydream about being praised for saying, twitter is concentrated dumb.

They are all so dumb that they can’t even tell what not dumb looks like.

I want to help clear this up. Removal of liquors, the boycott, the petition to deny Trump the G7 summit, Musk’s citizenship. None of this connects to tariffs. This is the response to “51st state” and “Governor Trudeau.” The tariffs are being responded only in kind. The threat of annexation is being met with as much harm as will not provoke war.

I don't think he's after minerals. I think he's after the NW passage. That's why the constant talk of Greenland, Panama, and Canada. I think he's after total control of East/West trade lanes. Step one before you can truly enshitify a product is having a functional monopoly. And he's hired the experts to enshitify the entire country.

Sorry, I was trying to answer that. The easiest analogue I have is. Muggers can't legally take your money. But, they have a knife. In this case. They can't 'legally' fire. They can't 'legally' cut pay, or have security kick people out. But... the boss's boss's boss is playing along. Pay will be cut. The order to have security kick people out, that is a legal order. And it's not like everyone at every level has perfect knowledge of the law. Not obeying a legal order has consequences too.

Stay on focus, it isn't American aggression. It is Russian aggression by proxy. Help Ukraine destroy Russia, and the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate.

Under Trump America has enforcement without laws. Disobeying an illegal order still gets you punished. It can merely be proven in court later than the disobedience was the correct action, if you can get it to court, and if the judge is playing by the rules. As the checks and balances fail to check or balance, those ifs become bigger and more iffy. Until every choice becomes "them or me." Unity in oppression, isolation in resistance. TLDR A man holding a gun to your head isn't giving legal orders

80% of the US economy is based on exports. That's why NATO exists. Lock in defence systems contracts. It's hidden in stats as most of the military sales are listed as "vehicles other than trains" or "aircraft/spacecraft" but it is all grist for the mill. It is a global issue to change course. One can not survive having a hostile nation in their military supply chain. And the US is now a hostile nation, except to North Korea and Russia.

Hopefully the court system distracts them long enough that the rest of the world can pull away. Like they should have done 8 years ago.

There's an old story of Christian mythology. Not in the bible. Based on Tantalus. Easily found on online. The parable of the long spoons. A man is given a tour of both heaven and hell. He sees hell first. It is a long table covered in food. People are sat away and given spoons that bend, twist, extend to avoid their mouths. Forever hungry, forever unable to feed themselves. In heaven the table is the same, so are the spoons. The people are laughing, eating, playing, feeding each other.

Matthew 7: 21-23
"21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."
