Russian propaganda sure is an “interesting” take on reality. The bully whines about getting their nose bloodied and is surprised nobody has any sympathy for them.

Good topic, good point, terrible writing. I couldn’t finish the article with the author’s ego and personal bias butting into his great story.

Ours is Rosie too!

The Israeli settlers did this first in the forties when they invaded and colonized Palestine, indiscriminate violence was their M.O., so yes the first stone was thrown two generations ago. Not excusing the violence today, but it is not unexpected nor unprecedented by either side of this conflict.

Not mine but I had a Dutch professor who would say “it’s like washing duck’s feet” to refer to something that was a pointless exercise or wasted effort. I always thought it was funny but can’t find anything on the Internet about it now so perhaps it’s not very common.

I don’t get it

Oh I see, thanks! I was thinking of my buddy who uses a climate controlled cabinet (kinda homemade) to store food for curing and fermenting.

Is it just like a temp controlled cabinet?

I tend not to collect single purpose devices as they take up too much space in my limited storage, and a warm cabinet made by my oven light is good enough for some homemade sourdough which we make about once a week.

In fact, I use my oven as a proofing chamber for bread making in the winter. Turn on the oven light and leave your dough in there to proof, keeps it at a nice ~25 C.

The biggest hazard is launching the payload, if it fails it falls out over a large area causing contamination of the nuclear fuel. The high orbit of the test vehicle lowers the risks for the other outcomes you identified, and they are planned to remain in these so called “disposal orbits” for many hundreds of years. Things can get very very far apart in space. The Russian recon satellites were operated in low earth orbit and their failures were well documented and even attempted to mitigate by the soviets, though they did fail with very bad consequences at least three times.

Isn’t it sort of a walled garden that way, an industry captured by and protected by this large barrier to entry which ensures a supply of jobs to those to ex-military pilots? Seems to happen in a lot of industries, artificially limiting supply to protect a pre existing privilege. Or am I just imagining things, I’m not familiar with the aviation industry.

Have another look at Ecco’s they’re exactly what you’re looking for. There are good models for 1-200 dollars that last for years and are great for putting city miles on. I got a pair about four years ago when I was commuting on busses and going through cheap shoes every couple months. They’re still in great shape and clean up nice.

I don’t know how people can take his bullshit and acerbic personality and still suck up to him. He’s about as appealing as a canker sore.

I’ve definitely plugged in the exam room, they leave you to wait for 10-15 minutes I can get 30-50% charge while waiting.

They got nuked like interestingasfuck… No mods now
