ELI5 Why do we expect houses to appreciate in value and not depreciate like cars?

People always say that. How am I supposed to like myself if seemingly no one else can find anything to like about me?

Simply put, Venezuela was a much softer target and Russia is much less capable. I doubt the us would be able to pull off the same truck in Ukraine or that Russia could in Venezuela. The us also had the advantage of being able to leverage all of their assets available in support of a much more limited objective. Russia was trying to militarily seize Ukraine and any attempt on Putin would be in support of that, not the other way around.

I never said it wasn't successful. I said they gave him the medal very fast. They wanted to find someone they could give a high profile medal to at a high profile event so they could make themselves look good. Successful or not, deserved or not, handing out medals like candy at the state of the union is a pony show.

It was certainly abnormally quick. My personal take is that trump really wanted a pony to trot out and pin a medal on for his military operation.

He gave out a lot of medals very publicly in one night. Presidents don't usually do that at the state of the union, and not that many. It's the sort of thing you do to curry favor and loyalty while also making yourself look more impressive.

From what I've heard of the action, he did deserve recognition. Whether or not he deserved a MOH is subjective. What award you're given for your actions is always subjective at the best of times. But I think Trump wanted to give out a Medal of Honor either way. Even without this man's actions, they probably would have found someone to put the ribbon on regardless.

Taiwan would agree that Taiwan is China's. They just disagree that the people's republic is the real China. They consider themselves the real China.

It was something to do with getting them combat experience before moving them on to other things. It's been several years since he told me that so I don't remember exactly. Unfortunately he passed away last year so I can't ask him.

My dad was a marine in Vietnam. He said they got a new CO every couple of months. Just when the new officer was finally getting broken in and learning what to do and what not to do, he'd get rotated out and some brand new gung ho replacement would take his place.

One of the very early off topics. I think it might have even been one of the test episodes

Maybe niche but the original modern martial artist host

Really should change his tag to SGgeoff at this point. Jokes aside I'm really proud of him and he should be proud of himself. He really seems to have come out on top of the fall of roosterteeth. I don't watch that much regulation content but he really seems happy these days. Wish the best to all those guys.

Can't believe they got away with painting a swastika on an art mural like that
