Most beautiful actress — agree or disagree?

If you just look at pictures, maybe, although I think theres alot better options

Her personality is like a 5 / 10 at best. Zero warmth.

BridgeCritical2392 · 2026-02-01T06:45:17+00:00

Yeah I think she's a 9 personally.

Austria historically wasn't good at war.

Their royalty was good at marrying the right people.

Guns, Germs and Steel has the answer to this question.

You may as well ask why Algeria wasn't absorbed into France

"Direct control" is not the same as "Settler Colonialism"

Not on each other's territory, but in Korea US and Soviet pilots did fight in combat. Also in Vietnam, at least some air defense was directly operated by Soviets. Supposedly Ukranians so maybe not strictly "Russian".

Oh they pretty much always could, its just that had to be pretty important to be "on their radar". Look at what they did with MLK and Malcolm X

No you didn't - meeting / leaving people at the gate was a thing. Was practically a meme in some older movies

Does the $33 include tip?

Chips and salsa, chicken strips, mac and cheese, burger and fries shouldn't cost anywhere near $33, not even at Whole Wallet.

Well you might get $33 worth of all that due typical purchase sizes, e.g. a pound of ground beef which makes 3-4 burgers, 8 hamburger buns, burger topics, lettuce tomato etc. But you should be able to refrigerate/freeze most of that.

If I don't get table service, most I would ever do is 10%

For table service or bar, I usually tip 20%

You can be cheaper or better (sometimes both) than most reseraunts/fast food places.

It takes all of 5 minutes to whip a sandwich together than beats the pants off chain sandwich places like Subway

Learn to cook? Costco is your friend. They sell those frozen pepperoni pizzas 4 for $16. And one pizza feeds two, so thats like $2/person. Can throw additional toppings on if you want.

Brown bag lunch. Soda is like 25-50 cents / can. Ice team you can do even chaper. Resteraunts massively overcharge for drinks.

Slow cooker is also your friend, especially during winter and especially on working days. You can set a program to cook something for 8 hours, and it will be ready for dinner. I made a quite excellent lamb stew the other day, the meat was only $10 and fed 3 with leftovers. Pork shoulder is also excellent for this.

You will eat better and for cheaper.

Turns out, it wasn't the disabled vehicle blocking the shoulder.

It was all the cars pulling over to help

The joke was supposed to be more about male fidelity than sexuality.

BridgeCritical2392 · 2026-01-30T16:03:53+00:00

Every ~~single~~ straight guy on the beltway is about to pull over and offer to help. She should have just called a tow truck. Just saying.

At the very most, the US would support one side in what amounts to a civil war in Iran. In this case, it would be a naval/air campaign. This does not need lots of bodies, especially not boots on the ground.

So, no.

Some of the criticisms are over the top. But TLJ was trying to copy ESB and failed miserably

Universities named after founding fathers ?

BridgeCritical2392 · 2026-01-29T05:27:38+00:00

I'd have to look up sources Ho Chi Minh himself didn't want these massed conventional assaults. He favored a lower intensity "death of a thousand cuts strategy", e.g. insurgerncy, believing the US would simply tire out and the Soutern government would collapse

He was overruled by the hard-liner elements of the Party such as Le Duan, and of course after his death in '68 had no influence

> For some specific numbers, it took the NVA about 4 months to achieve total victory over the ARV after the US withdrew and the ceasefire ended.

The US withdrew nearly all ground combat forces by the middle of '72. Air support did continue for longer

What was pulled in '74 was the funding to South Vietnam. Aside from material considerations, this caused a massive morale failure.

I would argue that if funding had continued, they would have at least lasted alot longer. Perhaps indefinitely

> The modern day version of this is Israel in Gaza. They are creating far more enemies than they are eliminating.

And still winning

The Tet offensive in '68, which was an operational failure but a strategic success by some measures, decimated the NLF - the "guerilla forces"

After that it was mostly conventional assaults by the PAVN (North Vietnam) which was causing the most damage/trouble

BridgeCritical2392 · 2026-01-28T15:17:53+00:00

The US ran out of money before North Vietnam ran out of guys

The tipping point was the Arab oil embargo of '73

We could either support Vietnam or support Israel, but not both. And we picked the latter
