Holding presidents accountable kicked the dodo as soon as Gerald Ford pardoned Nixon. If you hold one accountable, then the precedent is that you have to hold them all accountable. The list of war crimes and domestic use of violent force to curb peaceful protest from US presidents on both sides of the aisle would have to be interrogated for one. Neither party wants that.
The Swasticar Wankpanzer is 100% something he would call the truck if his sycophant followers jokingly suggested it.
I wish I could not fund military spending, otherwise taxes are good.
Helmets only give the wearer a better probability to survive a direct shot to the head. Helmet engineering has improved just like other engineering disciplines. That said even a WWII helmet gave the wearer a higher probability of surviving certain calibers and bullet types more than without one. Take the example of a high angle/glancing shot. Most of the kinetic energy does not transfer to the head or helmet in either case. The head will still absorb more of the glancing forces than a helmet, thus giving the wearer a much lower probability of surviving than if they wore a helmet.
Nowadays helmets are made to improve the absorption and deflection properties, thus giving an even higher probability of survival. That said bullets of sufficient size and shape as well as shrapnel can penetrate the helmet if precisely placed.
And that minority gets an outsized place at the media table due to billionaire oligarchs who want total control.
Actuay a great summation in another post around the same time:
Really have to hand it to Nintendo. They give no fucks.
*this statement is a joke and fuck their litigation strategies. Impoverishing people by garnishing wages for life is a heinous overreach.
Peak Nintendo yesterday as rumors about the next gen handheld hit an apex they announced, I shit you not, a Lego Gameboy.

This is what Genki is known for: reverse engineering something to make a product for it. Their original covert dock for the Switch was made using reverse engineering specifications of the official Nintendo dock.
It is an acute example of the whole world’s problem with American military bases on foreign soil. They want them to leave but can’t make them.
It still boggles my mind that traffic on 93 from Vegas into Arizona drove over the Hoover Dam for decades.
Nailed it in far fewer words than me.
Extension cords are rated for certain levels of resistive load based on their length. It typically has to do with the gauge of the wire used in the chord itself. Electrical resistance is typically converted into heat energy. If you daisy chain extension cords and have them plugged into appliances, then the resistive load of the chained cords can be higher than the rating of one or more of the extension cords. This can cause fire.
Thanks, saving this for the future.
I’d add Electroboom (Electrical Engineering), Tom Stanton (Engineer who makes a lot of engines to fly planes), Crime Pays But Botany Doesn’t (Botany), Periodic Videos (Chemistry), Practical Engineering (Civil Engineering), Nick Zentner (Geology).
The addage Without a base, without a trace is important to remember y’all!

They fucking know the inequality that they manufacture. They know.
He’s following decades of US State Department foreign policy. At this point nothing short of Israel attacking the US will change the stance.
He went to Nostr the cryptobro libertarian block chain social media network.
If you are asking, you probably know the answer for yourself.
