See those "pinch points"? The river will eventually form meander cutoffs, and become a sinuous system rather than a meandering river. This will lead to localized increases in channel slope (due to a reduction in channel length), and therefore increased local velocities, shear stress, and sediment transport.

Rivers are always seeking equilibrium, so the channel will actually start to move (bank erosion / lateral shifting) to reduce that localized slope and bring things back in order.

Rivers are so fucking cool.

DINK is a common term comrade. Remember Doug Funny's next door neighbors?

The question is in reference to a public statement Austin made a few weeks ago, where he said that indiscriminately killing civilians may lead to a "tactical victory" but in the long term it results in a "strategic defeat".

Basically admitting that asides from it being awful on moral grounds it's a bad idea strategically too.

"America is a third world country, and people don't recognise it... and I think that that's pretty god damn sad, that they don't recognise their own country as a third world, third rate, third class slum."

Kia and Hyundai skipped installing industry standard immobilizers in order to save money. The cars are incredibly easy to steal. Kia and Hyundai should be held responsible.
