Seems systemic… Spend trillions every year and never win a war since desert storm or ww2 before that. It’s not budget, it’s not man power either the military are doing something really poorly or there is some type of corruption somewhere taking that money…


I agree I’m just confused how us seems to spend so much on military yet lose every war. It’s like a jock spending 12 hrs a day in the gym and losing every boxing match against the local chess club.

Not to mention so much news that we “rescued” one airmam from a down helicopter. Great, now compare that to D-day or any battle in the US civil war…no contest. We are using so many resources for “war” rather right or wrong doesn’t matter, we do nothing but lose. I’d fire every officer in the military, you have an effective unlimited budget, you have millions of man hours at your disposal but consistently fail at every “war” since… Desert storm? Even that is questionable. Even before that have Vietnam… Lost… Korea… Didn’t actually lose but still didn’t win… Ww2 ok yeah we won with cooperation from most other countries.

US is a “super power” and spend more than the 9 countries in the top 10 of military spending but we always lose…wtf??


What I don’t get if it’s really such a priority from him and he is so mad…doesnt America have enough bombs to just level the region? Can’t he just make a call and say “kill everyone, make it glass” and it would be done?

That would be horrible to do. I’m not condoning it and thousands of lives would be lost. That said in the 80s America could literally destroy the earth… With advancements in technology and the money we spent couldn’t they just say “do it” and make the whole area done for atleast a few generations? How do they lose wars? If they are so dead set on this can’t they just carpet bomb the entire country?


I drove over the Mississippi river, at 9pm. It was dark and didn’t see anything. I’ve never experienced the Mississippi River just like this is not an experience of flying to the moon. They got close but still working on actually getting there.



From working in medical device if that’s all the documentation he is writing I’m jealous.


A single bolt action 22 rifle, they were just driving really really slowly! /s

Just joking as I don’t know but it’s just a funny image. I’m sorry for the victims and hope people stop doing this type of stuff.


Absolutely. I got well acquainted with the regulations. The sad part is it was so slow to update anything nothing got updated.

This system needs to be operational by next week. It will be a month before its well made. This needs to be operational by next week. Ok, but then we can fix it right?

Not to mention any changes to anything got evaluated as either a notice update, a 90 day submission, or a full submission(6 months - 2 years depending on fda, bsi and severity of change). That’s in addition to the actual work. I could make a change in a afternoon and may see it in production next year.


I worked in medical electronic manufacturing. Changing a single setting for ease of use to the operator was planned as a 2 year project. Literally change a 0 to 1 in one of the files….


They aren’t “going to the moon” they are going around the moon. It’s like saying “I’m going to the store” and just driving past the parking lot and turning around to go home.


I always preferred the one with the girl falling rag doll and hitting a bunch of bubbles on the way


True. Years ago(I think 2010 ish) I went to NYC comic con. Zombies were all the rage (pun intended) at the time. One of the panels I saw was “preparing for a zombie apocalypse” with a bunch of people from walking dead and a director at the cdc.

The cdc director basically made the point that you should be prepared. A zombie apocalypse is not likely/possible but if that makes you actually get prepared for an emergency go for it. You need access to fresh water, access to edible food, any medications for you or your family, a plan to escape, a place to meet up etc etc. You need those in a zombie apocalypse but you also need them in a hurricane, tornado, war, earthquake etc. All require the same things to survive, if pretending it’s zombies helps you get prepared great, as long as you get prepared.


Yeah, I’ll give you a more complete response after I go to the atm machine where I’ll enter my pin number. 😜


True, all I’m going to say is if you look up videos on “cbt therapy” make sure to put therapy in the search and/or have safe search on, as a result I believe Mike may enjoy the splinters


But think of the splinters… Oh god… Think of the splinters… Mike should get hazard pay



If you think you are bad, you are not. There is no wrong way to play and you may want to have different goals. Do you want fastest time? Smallest area? Most powerful against hoards of bugs? Conquer all planets? Science per minute? Self imposed limitations?

All are valid and all could be fun.



I guess I will just keep playing factorio. That’s a game which doesn’t involve any automatic generation involving intelligence … Wait… Fuck!

/s

To be clear I don’t think factorio has any Gen Ai. It does have a lot of automation, a lot of generation and requires a lot of intelligence. I thought it was just a clever bit of word play.

FACTORY MUST GROW!!


Maybe she took off with the fridge handle and they now live together and thinking about getting a dog…

/s hope it’s not a painful wound to poke fun at.
