You moved the burden of proof from you to me. This looks like a disinformation tactic.

With this logic one cannot enjoy a drink with a restaurant meal and then drive back home. Seems excessive to me… [edit-typo]

The article you linked doesn’t mention that Saddam answered a call right before his execution… which is what you implied earlier

What if aliens and us have completely different requirements for life / entertainment? Fighting would be pointless if we do not compete for resources

Would you mind sharing some sources re: Saddam answering a call moments before being hanged? Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence…

If we had President Gore we would have done a lot more and a lot earlier re: climate change. Probably the biggest missed opportunity in our lifetime.

Actually I am not logged on OneDrive (AFAIK I did not create any OneDrive accounts) Excel insists that I should save my spreadsheets on OneDrive. Thus the infuriation.

I think I can. In 2026 Excel is unusable for me (I cannot see the active cell at a glance, I cannot trace dependent cells to “debug” my formulas, I cannot save directly to my local hard disk with a keystroke combination- I have to click aro

Could you share some examples of Swiss being cozy with the Nazis? Wikipedia seems to make the counter case [0]. Switzerland did trade energy with Nazis - but they were dependent on Germany for their coal needs. Switzerland also kept the gol

Every time I run across yet another one of these “let me explain C++ move or copy semantics to you” I thank my lucky star that I am using C# in my day to day work.

I agree with everything you said except for "Skiing has always has been the prototypal "rich person" vacation". At least in western WA from 2000 till 2010 I could ski for a day for less than the price of gas to get there

FYI - I deleted my response after reading the post better. While as far as I can tell there has not been massive expansion in Western WA skiing inthe past 25 years, you were comparing with 1970s. I really have no idea how skiing was in West

This would not work in Western WA. Snoqualmie (the shittiest snow in western WA) offers 4 day passes for $229 ( https://www.summitatsnoqualmie.com/tickets/flex-ticket-packs... ) or season pass for $759 ( https:/&#x2

How are you avoiding full retail prices? Curious since where in western WA state where I live the only alternative to day prices are season passes (and I stopped buying season passes due to climate change. For example: last season at Snoqua

I got more news for you: iPhones are made in China. And more astonishing news: US cannot manufacture iPhones. About Chinese oil imports from Middle East: US cannot stop its Middle East “vassals” from selling oil to China. Not sure what poin

I was a Financial Analyst at Amazon and Starbucks for about 15 years total. Excel was my favorite tool. I used to say that if my employer would not pay for Excel I would pay for it out of me own money. Almost 20 years later in 2026 I migrat

the GP is not a reductive statement. 40% of Republicans think Trump is doing a great job - right now with all the Iran war, all the inflation. When you realize that 20% of American electorate are lunatics you will see the US political syste

I got news for you: China has more and better consumer technology than the West combined. The new generation of Chinese are not dependent on the West for anything.

I did not mean to be snarky. But still, the proposition that a railroad bankruptcy “led to world war” (direct quote from the article) 40 years later is ridiculous.

Re: "This looks to have gotten some dominoes rolling that may have contributed to WW1 " - people who believe this should read some history about beginning of WW1. I recommend starting with "The Guns of August".

This situation does not resemble the beginning of WW1. wW1 was caused more or less by an inept leader (the Herman Kaiser Wilhelm) with way too much power. Putin cannot play the part Wilhelm played in 1914 because Russia has very little powe

If the landlord does that the rent on the listing will be higher by $200, thus turning off potential renters. It is better for the landlord to lead with a smaller rent and tack on charges. Same business model for restaurants (rely on tips w

In C# a dependency graph that automatically updates only the affected dependencies can be implemented using events and/or functors and/or data binding. I do not understand what is the big deal with Increment. Is it more efficient

US did not occupy the country- they occupied the big cities and a built a huge airbase. Countryside was in Taliban hands for the most part. US never closed the border with Pakistani - and the talibans retreated in Paki when under attack and

Hmm, US did not destroy the Taliban in Afghanistan. So I do not think US won much in Afghanistan (for ex. bin Laden was killed in Pakistani)
