NATO standardization of things like ammunition has enabled a lot of ability to specialize and achieve economies of scale. The USA is fucking that up, too. :(

I wear leather boots, ankle high. The shoe store fixes em when the bottom wears out. Had em 11 years and they’re still fairly pristine. Just gotta oil em every winter. Probably should do that more often.

It was $600 and $50 or so every couple years. Figure I’ve gotten it amortized down.

I miss boibgboing. Never been able to get into it since they paywalled commenting.

Supposedly the kill ratio at Pokrovsk has been around 15:1 as well.

Bring it. He’ll tariff us anyways for being rude to his ambassador or some shit anyway.

Fuck Hoekstra and fuck Trump.

Big factor behind his divorce, iirc.

I’m hoping this means we’ll actually get a high speed rail line from Toronto to Quebec City sometime this century instead of just having another shelved study.

Why would you deny him an emotional support invasion? It’d be like taking a stuffy away from a dog. You monster.

Reminds me of accounts of ww2 mass bombings, which were largely ineffective and expensive, reportedly. Military production is back in hours, and civilians become that much more radicalized against the bombers.

It simply does not work to bomb civilian infrastructure, in addition to it being a monstrous act.

Ohh Oi’m 'Enery the Eighth oi am…

Space Engineers, for one. Janky-ass physics engine.

That’s pretty much how a Klang drive works in Space Engineers.

Unfortunately i think this is a case of ‘nice doggy’. Trump needs constant sucking up or he goes apeshit. Words are cheap, and we need time to adapt and replace the USA.

Wasn’t that Lenin?

Jeez, you could do a VR recreation

BBS door games? Yeah, I still play VGA Planets occasionally.

I had a cool little leather wallet that held 2 3.5" disks. Felt like a pro every time i flipped it open.
