I was incredibly mad before I realized I was reading George Soros, not George Santos. Now I’m only kinda mad

Given that NATO mandates 2% GDP on defence, they’re pulling their weight. Estonia is not a large country, so $1.5B goes a lot further there than in larger nations.

As someone who has basically come to see “memecoin” and “scam” as synonyms, I have a hard time having any sympathy for anyone who puts money into this shit. Everyone knows that the endgame of every memecoin is for the creator to walk away with all the profit, right? Enough incidental people win a bit of money to keep everyone gambling that they can beat the scam, but everyone has to know that they’re feeding the scam when they buy in, right?

Idk, come January, I’d be pretty okay with the president and vice president trying to kill each other.

In contrast to the rest of the commenters, I don’t think so. I’ve got the Z Flip 5, and the battery life isn’t great, after a year of use, the hinge is a little looser than I’d like, and the phone is just slightly narrower than the last couple phones I’ve owned, which means I’ve somehow not managed to adjust to the keyboard size after a year, and my typing accuracy is awful.

A reasonable skeptic is actually a smart one.

Yeah maybe. But neither you nor the Brainworm driving the RFK Jr. skinsuit are reasonable skeptical. The Brainworm has decided that vaccines are bad, and is attempting to cherry pick much more data to try to back up his claims. And you are trying to say that behavior is valid and part of the scientific process, which it absolutely the fuck is not.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but because these are state charges, a future president couldn’t, say, pardon him and let him out whenever, right?

a consumer may easily misunderstand the consequences of canceling and it may be imperative that they learn about better options

See, if it’s easy to cancel, then a consumer can leave your service, try something else, and then cancel that and come back if they don’t like the alternative.

Also, imperative for who? Your bottom line?

I think part of the land purchase was CAH pledging to do everything they can to slow down eminent domain claims.

So by implication, the more prominent leaders of the Taliban don’t have souls? I suppose that tracks?

To add on, most of us are probably used to seeing American Nimitz- and *Ford-*class carriers, which have flight decks covering approx. 4.5 and 5 acres respectively, while the Liaoning only has about 3.5 acres, and loses a lot of that real estate to the ski jump. American carriers tend to be built with extra parking spaces for aircraft on the deck, partially to get more bang for our buck, but also because you can park planes on a CATOBAR deck without much difficulty.

In addition, Nimitz- and *Ford-*class carriers each carry approx. 90 aircraft of various types, compared to the Liaoning’s 45 or so.

The bottom line is American carriers tend to keep aircraft on deck while sailing around, because they carry so many of them and have more space on the deck for parking, while the Liaoning likely has enough hangar bay space for her much smaller complement of aircraft.
