  • None of these folks are capable of manufacturing modern nitrocellulose gun powder or primer caps necessary to reload their fancy rifles and handguns.

    This gave me a thought, would having equipment for ammonia and other chemicals (for fertiliser as well as explosives) be useful for preppers?

  • That can be delayed for a long time by stockpiling spare parts.

  • I assume people decided it had the vibe of accusing Ukraine of being underhanded (it's not, but internet gonna internet)

  • Also, she’s immune to all poisons.

    How did she get that?

  • As well as spreading and planting seeds, clearing competing plants, and providing water and nutrients.

  • Chickens are the most numerous bird on the planet, wheat covers more land area than any other plant.

  • Ukrainian nuclear weapons aren't a credible threat to Russia, for the same reason Russia's aren't to Ukraine: It isn't under an immediate threat of being wiped out, just losing territory. I think this is aimed more at the United States, trying to pressure them into keeping up or increasing aid with the threat of nuclear proliferation (as Japan, Taiwan and Saudi Arabia have done). There is also the possibility that in a Trump administration, loss of US aid could turn the war back into an existential threat where nuclear weapons could be used.

  • There's actually a very good reason why Russia operates like that - mutinies. If you give junior officers authority, in a political system like Russia's where the leadership's legitimacy is purely based on power and self-interest, they might decide they'd rather be the ones in charge. This was perfectly demonstrated when they gave a military unit autonomy, and that resulted in the Wagner mutiny.

  • They’re also saying it’s a limited-stock item with only 150 ever made. Sure, buddy.

    Sell 150 each of 100 very slightly different designs, claim they're all limited edition.

    (Or, this being Trump, just outright lie and call it political interference when someone points it out)

  • I evolutionary terms being edible to humans is quite useful.

  • Couldn't find it

  • Tesla isn't even in the top 10 for either cars produced or revenue. It being the highest valued car manufacturer in the world is just empty hype.

  • You missed the one saying it's okay to execute innocent people.

  • Unfortunately, the supreme court has zero checks and balances, and recently has been willing to make partisan political rulings, so it may well strike it down to help Republicans.

  • Is there any country that doesn't suck?

  • AES?

    Edit: Found it, "Actually existing socialism"
