The USA completely failed to eliminate the threat of a communist takeover of French Indochina. Ask Pakistan if the threat of Afghanistan-based terrorism has been eliminated.

> Flying F-15 and F-16s now. Except not really. If they were willing to risk sending many aircraft deep into Iranian airspace with SDBs and JDAMs they wouldn't be running out of ba…

This is something people say, but in practice the Toyota Prius is still a very reliable car.

To be fair, running electric only at slow speeds is still good, because it's slow, stop-and-go driving that benefits the most from electric.

I think they were trying to say that it's surprising the Lightning sold so poorly considering the popularity of the ICE version. I do think F-150 buyers tend to be more conservativ…

The US has been doing air strikes in the Middle East on a regular basis since ~1990, and they extensively support the military adventures of allies like Israel and Saudi Arabia.

Absolutely not. It will takes months to years to rebuild onshore infrastructure, and shipping companies will be very reluctant to send tankers into the Gulf. Negotiations may colla…

I assume you are aware that "they" are the Republicans? The Harris campaign avoided talking about it whenever possible, while Republican groups spent $200 million on anti-trans ads…

The US oil companies will export their oil to China (or Japan, South Korea and other major oil importers, in lieu of oil bought by China.)

In many states these are available without proof of citizenship. When people say proof of citizenship they usually mean a passport or REALID.

em-dashes and en-dashes are used for completely different purposes, so why would they be confused?

Military ships don't run their radio beacons in combat zones. (There was an incident last year where the USS Theodore Roosevelt collided with a civilian cargo ship at night at leas…

As far as I know none of Trump's deals have been ratified by the Senate. None of them are valid.

Pretty sure the term "seed" for a pRNG initial value is already derived from the same crystal seed analogy...

Not a patron, so I haven't seen the whole video, but I don't think Rocz would use AI for a video about his beloved Pennsylvania Railroad.

The premise here is that you lose access to a European bank's mobile app because the US government compels Apple or Google to disable your app store accounts. Not that your relatio…

How much do 0-15 year olds contribute to the economy?

The curtailed windfarms are in the north of Scotland. There is currently not enough transmission capacity to export electricity from there to the south of England where the demand …

Pro TV used Betacam, not Betamax. Same physical tape, but four instead of two tape heads and a much faster tape speed.

That's production, not consumption. The US exports huge amounts of oil and gas now. The EU/Russia sanctions and the Red Sea blockade are a huge gravy train for American oil and gas…

I think Marine Le Pen and Nigel Farage are closer to commanding a nuclear arsenal than Alice Weidel.

No it doesn't make sense. Every photon that hits the Earth is eventually either absorbed as heat, reflected back into space or both (eg. partially absorbed and partially re-emitted…

> That’s not to exclude the harsh reality of mining for the minerals required to build these, nor the land use concerns. This is Big Oil propaganda. The impact from this is massive…

Thunderfork's question stands: if they are biased towards power (democrats), how can they also be biased towards the left?

According to TFA LE already offers a "shortlived" profile that issues 6-day certs if you want to stress test your automation, or just gain the security advantages of rapid certific…
