Sounds like mostly horseshit to me. The first quote is incredibly vague and indirect, the second is just true. There's more to that second quote which makes it clear that it's about Israel being responsible for hate towards Jews because they can't stop genociding people, which, yeah. And that first quote could easily be someone completely misconstruing a statement about how Israel is using the Holocaust as a shield/justification to carry out their own genocide, which is also largely true.

The Atlas V has never gone to the moon, it has also never exploded or even failed once in its 92 launches. Assuming you're talking about the Saturn V which performed all of the Apollo missions, the answer is one partial failure, Apollo 6, which just meant they couldn't complete the original mission objective, but still made it to orbit and crew landed safely after several hours orbiting Earth. So uh, not sure what you're on about either.

Holy copium Batman. What "abnormal" stress have they been under other than the pressure to launch well before it's ready? You trying to tell me they all blew up because of bad weather or some shit? Lmao, I hope you remember how laissez-faire you were about their bullshit when a SpaceX crew becomes the first to ever be lost forever in space.

The Flying Fortress was the B-17. The B-52 is the Stratofortress. The B-17 was all but removed from service after WWII ended due to the large numbers of B-29 Superfortresses in service and newer designs entering service, even most B-29s were retired after the war ended due to how many they produced in its short manufacturing run.

What SpaceX does is not "testing to failure", they're cobbling it together and sending it, then fixing what broke last time until it stops blowing up every time. Actual testing to failure is pushing things to their extremes to see when they fail, not seeing what fails under normal conditions until it works *most* of the time. Test flights should not be blowing up half the time, if they are your design needs a LOT more time to cook in the oven before your next launch.

I'm confused what your point is. Practically every military in the world uses MRAPs like M-ATVs these days.

Yeah... "just fuckin send it and see what breaks" is NOT the type of mindset that you want when sending actual people to space let alone the fuckin moon. That's the kind of mindset the US Navy had with submarines (and Russian Navy STILL has) until multiple nuclear submarines sank with all hands. I want every valve, weld, and bolt meticulously inspected before people come anywhere close to flying on it, otherwise we're sending corpses, not crews, to the moon.

Why would they invest in building it for a country that doesn't want it, has lower energy costs to boot, and is no longer subsidizing the cost of building it? They can just go build it anywhere in Europe and make far more revenue with lower build costs to boot due to subsidies.

The Starship has also blown up half the time it's been launched and both the SLS and Orion are designed to be the safest launch systems ever developed. Can't wait for the next Challenger/Columbia type disaster where entire crews perish and SpaceX stans/goobers to go "that's just the price of doing business."

Newsflash, shitty people exist everywhere. This happens across the world. The only places it generally doesn't are where it's been made illegal (and those laws actually enforced).

The alternative would be to build them anyways and still not get paid so uh not really sure what you're proposing.

The bacteria that causes syphillis is only found in primates, so maybe if someone was fucking around with a monkey at some point which spread it to humans but definitely not livestock.

I just perused the Wikipedia article on it, sounds like there's still considerable debate over whether syphillis was brought back from the Americas or had existed previously in Europe. There's emerging evidence that points to it existing prior but nothing conclusive so far.

Looks like it fits pretty well until the bee does some crazy shit by removing it. And why would I not try the simplest solution first? The last thing on earth I would expect is a fucking bee to be able to pry a nail out that's flush with the brick. You are brain broken.

They literally can't. They sign a contract that says the government owns them for X amount of years. They can only leave when that contract ends and they decide not to renew, or when the government tells them they can (AFAIK almost exclusively due to a medical or dishonorable discharge).

OR the person saw a bee going through a hole to their house, plugged it up with a nail, found the nail had somehow been removed, and recorded this video when they finally figured out how the nail kept getting removed because this is kinda crazy. Some of you mfs really need to go outside and touch grass. Not everyone is a little internet gremlin like you.

Also friendly reminder that this mine was copied from/inspired by the U.S. BLU-43 mine which looks practically identical. Only notable difference is the BLU-43 uses a slightly darker green but the PFM-1 is painted in standard Soviet/Russian military green, it's not intentionally brighter.

Yeah, that did not happen in Iraq. Plenty of countries said no because they weren't obligated to participate, including major NATO allies like France, Germany, Belgium, Norway, Greece, and Austria. And NATO is a defensive alliance, a member nation has to be attacked to invoke Article 5 rights under the treaty. Iraq did not attack a NATO member.

NATO was not involved in Iraq at all, the coalition was literally called the "coalition of the willing" because participation was entirely optional. The only time NATO's mutual aid agreement has been used was after 9/11 in Afghanistan.

I mean I don't want to be early to work either. I don't want to work at all, but capitalism demands it.

Less expensive sports are governed around 140-160mph because with their design, they would fly off the road from the instability and lack of down force. Creating a car that can hit 220mph without becoming an airplane is an incredible feat of engineering which is expensive as hell. Motorcycles generally do not have those same limitations because they're tiny and there's no surface for air to get caught under and create lift. Any 18 year old that has the money can still go out and buy a supercar.

I feel like it's a lot easier to tell the good from the bad with most other TV shows, but too many anime fandoms are like rabid cultists and will love anything "their show" puts out regardless of how garbage it is. To be clear, this behavior definitely isn't exclusive to anime fans, nor is it all anime fans, just that the proportion is visibly more common when it comes to anime.

Same reason why we put multiple cars on a semi-truck to ship them across the country: it's far more fuel efficient and requires way less people to operate one ship vs. four of them.

Machine learning is useful for the more "big picture" things like research with massive data sets, it's nowhere near the point where it's useful on an individual case basis.

That explosion isn't a bomb, that is something else detonating, likely a fuel silo/dump or possibly an ammunition cache. The only weapon the U.S. that could even potentially create an explosion of that size is the MOAB, and the chances of that being used here are next to zero. The MOAB is dropped out the back of a C-130 cargo plane that has to fly directly over the target, Iran would've turned a C-130 into mincemeat the second it crossed over its borders, it's massive and slow.

I'd personally like to see a missile where the extra fuel DOESN'T detonate on impact. That's also still not a thermobaric explosion, that's just a standard (potentially incindiary but probably not) explosion. And the second missile didn't "circle" the target, it doesn't have the fuel or maneuverability to do that, it was just launched afterwards as part of a second strike. Intentionally blowing up a school full of kids is already bad enough, we don't need to make things up to make it worse
