Time wouldn't be on their side though. China would need to effectively complete the invasion before the US navy had time to react. Even if it was considered unlikely the US would react, I doubt China would commit to an invasion they we

If the US stops support would the war end? I don't really think so, but maybe. If it did, though, I would guess lives would be saved. That doesn't seem like a delusion.

It's not something I've ever seen, but I certainly believe it given their incredible noses. And of course pigs are often used for truffle hunting. If you are gathering mushrooms to eat, it's not too hard to learn which are to

Foraging enough mushrooms to provide any real sustenance sounds like a real challenge (except for fall in the northwest).

Rice and beans - been my staple for most of my life - isn't too much more than this. Two cup dried rice + two can beans is around $4 and that is generally enough for me. Although it is much better with a few eggs and some hot sauce or

There are better options than airbnb if money is the concern, though - it just seems really dumb. Airbnb is like eating out at restaurants instead of buying from the grocery store and preparing your own food. There's subletting, crashi

Anectdotally, I've also been getting in a bad habit of staying up 2-3 days and agree there are similarities to being drunk - certainly in terms of cognitive ability and reflexes - but I even experience similar loss of inhibition (altho

I mean, it's both right? It's easier to work on fixing policy if you're not a drug addict reading poisoned info.

I imagine it is more of an exponential decay mixed with poisson since strikes were far more common back in the day. Also, I'd guess an exponential decay in the expected size of impactors over time as they've been smashing themselv

But if the underlying causal factor is obesity, then it is meaningless to say various races were impacted more heavily - in fact, it is worse than meaningless cause it implies they are causal factors.

> Because who else but an idiot would buy a used car for more than they can buy it retail? Isn't the wait time to get one pretty significant? I doubt the people buying trucks at these prices are overly concerned with deal-hunting.

Apples and oranges. The US had done plenty of atrocities since the CIA branched off after WW2, sabotaging foreign governments, temporary invasions, etc. But, if the US was Russia, all the Americas would be Russia by now.

Neovim's tree-sitter integration is so clean. I'd like to see Emacs develop a better api for injecting multiple parsers, like neovim's `#set!` queries. Currently, I've found multi-parser support to be pretty much unusabl

No, I think it's pretty clear what a terrorist does - target civilians on purpose. But, terrorists can certainly be freedom fighters as well or vice versa.

I agree, but the world just isn't this simple. It's not about murdering with you family- it's about protecting your family. Kids I knew that went to Iraq were the protective types, not murderous. People can enlist in the mili
