As I recall: Mitt Romney was the first public person who really came out and called Russia a threat in the US in the 2011/2012 election cycle. Which at the time he was laughed at because Russia was still seen as an ally and the major threat was China.

Now they are both openly hostile and Germany is cozying up to fucking China.

Germany: just do what the rest of the west (and China) does and bribe the Canadian government to hand over raw resources to you.

It’s an issue given that almost everything everyone buys relies on sea traffic. If it doesn’t, then something required to make it did.

For example: the amount of wheat and grain that travels via ship is insane. And those facilities can’t just be built overnight. They need railways to be built and need massive amounts of concrete that itself needs months to years to properly cure so that they can store grain in it. And without those facilities, many parts of the world not directly at sea level will suffer and starve.

No. The melting of the ice caps is now self-sustaining. We dont have enough energy as a species to begin to reverse it now, and it is making itself worse now with every day.

The current glacier they’re worried about in Antarctica is estimated to increase global sea levels by up to 3 meters.

That, by itself puts every single port in the world partially underwater, and most of the major airports too. That means every developed country in the world is looking at death and famine at a scale not seen since the Permian Extinction.

And thats just one glaicier that will be popping before 2030. All of Greenland is also in the process of popping, and that could mean 10m plus of sea level rise by 2050.

Climate change.

Ww3 may or may not happen. Hopefully not.

But regardless of that, Climate change will wipe us out.

De-track-me.

Thanks for the overview.

Frankly I think its more likely that China screwed up and got an older part of the moon than a newer one by mistake.

It was a long running and apparently well used research device. It was discontinued in 2008.

Heres a pdf of the 1968 instruction manual. https://www.nrc.gov/docs/ML0216/ML021630449.pdf

Better to analyze for vulnerabilities. Particularly with a number of governments using open source software hosted on github.

Its from the book 1176 BC by Eric H Cline.

End of the bronze age. Have a set of letters between citystate rulers, one writing that help is urgently needed as seaborne invaders have been spotted nearby and his military is off with the hittite empire.

The response back, in modern slang amounts to “lol ur fucked.”

Damn. Have to admit it hits even harder when you’re in a supermarket

Ksp2 is the saddest thing about that.

It could be that its success was internally attributed to a different team someone in the hierarchy favoured.

He could paint it as taking down the “ivory tower intellectuals”

Since the goal they(the far right) achieved in Canada under Stephen Harper was the suppression of compensation.

To the point that a field requiring a job earns half the value in Canada that it does in the US.

$147000 is a lot of money to grant to three college kids with zero proven business record.

It’s the CCP. You can’t have a non government funded company.

Its adding whiskey, gin, rum or bourbon, depending on the tea(white/herbal or Rooibos for no caffeine) for variations on the Hot Toddy.

You need that extra time, or you have the issue Vancouver has where international students with no given Canadian income own something like 30% of the city’s luxury housing.

Yeah, but my point is, even if it is a finger, and thats a pretty massive if. And if its a soft tissue fossil from 3MYA.

So what?

It fits the overall shape of the end of a finger of any great ape. Sure, it would be a stupendous scientific find, but it couldn’t disprove evolution.

Obligatory Fuck EA for the bullshit they pulled.

They buried the game launch intentionally behind Battlefield 1.
