I read somewhere that a single Phalanx CIWS bullet cost more than a drone that could take the entire system out before the heavy drones/cruise missiles were sent.

Thank goodness t20 isn't real cricket. If this was a one dayer Pakistan might have launched nukes.

There was an experiment at my uni that involved opening up live kitten skulls and attaching electrodes to their open brains. They got PhD student applications.

Trust me there's always someone whose marks are low enough and who's desire to be a scientist is high enough.

I don't think this is a particularly problematic experiment if proper ethics procedures are taken, we do shit to brain tissue all the time.

Of course proper procedures were not taken.

Stop making me hope.

Socialism is Soviet power plus electrification of the entire population of Paris.

Communism is Soviet Power plus vaguely lesbian coded slumber parties.

Turns out there's a lot of torment in the torment nexus.

I'm an opera kid so maybe the two cancel out?

I know a person who lived most of their 20s, as a woman, in Communist Romania. Romania was by far the "worst" eastern bloc nation, had major economic woes and a lot of misogyny and oppression of women via fertility policies, and she has openly stated that while the leadership sucked and was justly hated, most people wanted to keep the system, which they pretty much all liked and thought they could keep while also getting free speech and MacDonalds.

And she's pretty pissed about what happened. She'd tile the whole goddam world with the Romanian System circa 1985 if she could, warts and all.

Technically it's hypercalvinism but trying to tell prots they're misinterpreting their own theology is almost as hard as trying it with tradcaths.

He's borderline, Like Chavez. Certainly not as hardline as Allende.
