Jeez dude. If you have a point to make, just make it. This weird sarcasm is borderline unreadable. Anyway, everyone agrees with you that FIFA is a corrupt cesspool. The fact that Trump found a corrupt counterparty does not make his open an

It's shocking to me how badly the data was falsified. You'd think a researcher who is A. well versed in statistics and B. has seen a lot of actual research data would be able to produce more believable data. Does this mean we&#x2

Reminds me a little bit of Ferdinand Cheval and his Palais idéal. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferdinand_Cheval#Palais_id%C3%... Well worth a visit, oddly touching in a way.

This is a great way to put it. Also, confusing having the most powerful army with having an all powerful army.

Sure, maybe, arguably. Does it matter though? A world without smoking is still better than a world with smoking, right?

Due to cost, not shortage.

KLM is citing fuel price, not shortage. They’re cutting under utilized flights which they cannot perform profitably at current prices. They’ve explicitly said it’s not because of a shortage. https://nieuws.klm.com/statement-

Also, never explicitly stating their point. Only asking leading questions.

"Forward, the Light Brigade!" Leadership isn't about avoiding mistakes—it's about unwavering commitment to the mission. Was there a team member dismayed? Even when the data suggested a pivot was needed, the team stayed a

Indeed. I cannot charge my car at home so I drive a PHEV. I use public chargers when one is available on my street. If not, no problem. I’d say about 80% of my daily driving is done on the battery, which is a lot better than 0!

No, I’m saying you’re right. A pickup is much more usefull for that.

Indeed. When is was remodeling my house, I bought an old van for €2000,- (the successor to the C15, actually) * I had no compunction to fill it with debris, earth, sand etc. but that’s not something your European tradesman does. He uses a s

Yes, lane keeping can be quite annoying. I regularly drive a road with side markings but no center marking. The car interprets this as a single lane and constantly tugs my steering wheel into oncoming traffic.

Theory of Constraints right there. Producing faster than the slowest resource in the chain is detrimental to the entire process. You waste resources and create difficulties upstream. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory

It happens all the time but it’s more useful to think in terms of container flows getting rerouted. Container ships sail in fixed loops so have containers on board for multiple ports. It often happens that the order in which the ports are c

There is absolutely no rational reason for the US to align itself with Russia at the cost of its relationship with Europe.

by LeChuck 2y ago
It very much looks like Europe and US are not allies anymore. I don’t believe there’s a strategy here. I believe that Trump and his electorate are simply much more closely aligned, ideologically speaking, to Russia than to the EU.

This is a simplistic, even childlike, view of the relationship between the US and Europe. The situation is the way it is because the US wanted it like that. Statesman like Dean Acheson and George Marshall designed it this way. To throw 7

Mozilla's goals are still much more aligned with my own than any other browser vendor. Not even close. It's not a betrayal, it's a difference of opinion between friends. Edit: If that. I personally think this Terms of Use thi

This phrase gets repeated a lot, “U.S. patrolling the worlds a shipping lanes” but what does it mean, concretely? Which shipping lanes and how? They’re certainly not doing a stellar job of it in the Red Sea, for instance.
