Reminds me a little bit of Ferdinand Cheval and his Palais idéal. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferdinand_Cheval#Palais_id%C3%... Well worth a visit, oddly touching in a way.

This is a great way to put it. Also, confusing having the most powerful army with having an all powerful army.

Sure, maybe, arguably. Does it matter though? A world without smoking is still better than a world with smoking, right?

Due to cost, not shortage.

KLM is citing fuel price, not shortage. They’re cutting under utilized flights which they cannot perform profitably at current prices. They’ve explicitly said it’s not because of a…

Also, never explicitly stating their point. Only asking leading questions.

Has been the case for decades: http://exiledonline.com/we-the-spiteful/ >The left won’t accept this awful truth about the American soul, a beast that they believe they can fix “if …

Ports did indeed have very little security before 2001 (compared to now). See ISPS code: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Ship_and_Port_Fa...

"Forward, the Light Brigade!" Leadership isn't about avoiding mistakes—it's about unwavering commitment to the mission. Was there a team member dismayed? Even when the data suggest…

Indeed. I cannot charge my car at home so I drive a PHEV. I use public chargers when one is available on my street. If not, no problem. I’d say about 80% of my daily driving is don…

Congress can, Trump cannot.

No, I’m saying you’re right. A pickup is much more usefull for that.

Indeed. When is was remodeling my house, I bought an old van for €2000,- (the successor to the C15, actually) * I had no compunction to fill it with debris, earth, sand etc. but th…

Yes, lane keeping can be quite annoying. I regularly drive a road with side markings but no center marking. The car interprets this as a single lane and constantly tugs my steering…

A bit of a tangent here. I'm not a native English speaker but is it me or is this text badly written? > The European Union and certain EU Member States have persisted in a continui…

Theory of Constraints right there. Producing faster than the slowest resource in the chain is detrimental to the entire process. You waste resources and create difficulties upstrea…

Will we?

It happens all the time but it’s more useful to think in terms of container flows getting rerouted. Container ships sail in fixed loops so have containers on board for multiple por…

There is absolutely no rational reason for the US to align itself with Russia at the cost of its relationship with Europe.

It very much looks like Europe and US are not allies anymore. I don’t believe there’s a strategy here. I believe that Trump and his electorate are simply much more closely aligned,…

This is a simplistic, even childlike, view of the relationship between the US and Europe. The situation is the way it is because the US wanted it like that. Statesman like Dean Ach…

Mozilla's goals are still much more aligned with my own than any other browser vendor. Not even close. It's not a betrayal, it's a difference of opinion between friends. Edit: If t…

Are you looking for this? https://hypercritical.co/front-and-center/ Found it further down the comments.

It's fascinating how any Firefox thread here inevitably devolves into accusations that Mozilla has abandoned users and a push to switch to alternatives, despite Mozilla working in …
