Well, with the tariffs and all, it adds up…

I still have a cool laptop (with Mandrake and kde) with 192 megs of memory somewhere.

Well, if you’re going to start listing the US firms that helped Nazi Germany, we’re going to be here all day.

That feeling ought to disappear once your implant is activated.

That’s not a very good idea. It’s not a general use distribution.

Odd that this page is still online…

Ah, but aren’t calculators always right?

I was really thinking more of Estonia, Lituania and Latvia. That’s what people usually mean by Baltic countries. Finland has already shown Russia that it’s probably not a good idea to invade. And I think both the Finns and the Russians haven’t forgotten each other.

Real Americans don’t eat vegetables!

If Russia goes for the Baltic countries, it’s possible that they have a chance. They have tiny militaries and really depend on Nato.

However, given the current status of the Union, I’m not sure I would be completely confident on Nato. Committing would be politically risky for any politician in the current context.
So while I hope Both unions stand strong (the EU also has a common defence clause), I’m not super confident. Because politicians are extremely short-sighted. And short-sightedness is pretty much what defines our species (that and greed, and stupidity).

And to add upon that, Russia (or more precisely the Russian Federation) has been attacking us for ten years now, maybe more. Article 5 ought to have been invoked before. They should have been dismantled by force years ago. I’ve said it before, but I’m saying it again: The Russian Federation has to be broken up into its member states, with Russia possibly getting a special treatment. They have to get a government that’s under international surveilance for at least 20 years.

‘Fortnite OG’ lobbies may now have as little as eight real players, according to a report from a prominent Epic Games leaker.

In a lot of the games I play, I’d be happy to have that many.

I think it should be carved out of Texas.

They’ve got lots of empty space, the weather sucks, they’ll be surrounded with idiot bigots. They ought to feel right at home.

Have you considered wishing them Happy Holidays?

But why?

Parrots are actually intelligent though.

Didn’t know about Amtrak. Interesting. Thanks

Gorbachev was the only rational guy they had during that period. He could have had a chance to do something if the West had supported him.

When’s the last time the US nationalised something?

Just use another unit. It’s an easy fix.

This would seem quite risky to use on US roads. I mean probably elsewhere too, but at least they don’t pack the same hardware.
