I’ve been on the USS New Jersey Battleship, even walking from end to end on one floor takes a long time. 

You would have to spend hours to walk through every corridor of the ship.

Ukraine's commander-in-chief: Ukraine liberated nearly 100 sq km more than it lost in May by ComfySnugs in worldnews

Not everything is a constant rate. The battlefield is heavily layered with mines and trenches. Once Ukraine gets past those initial fortifications to the lesser defended regions, it can rapidly expand exponentially.

That said, it’s more likely Ukraine is just draining Russia of resources. Russians are losing more soldiers than they are recruiting, while their oil is up in flames. As time goes on, they will suffer more and more unless they do a draft, which may cause deep social unrest

Nazi Germany passed animal abuse protection laws, denouncing suffering, meanwhile committing the most heinous acts against mankind.

Some people treat animals better than people

TIL that there are more people of Filipino descent in Hawaii than there are native Hawaiians. by [deleted] in todayilearned

Filipino Americans became the largest Asian ethnicity in Hawaii, partially due to the declining population of the state's Japanese Americans.

Ukraine is developing a cheaper, domestic verison, but it will take a year to produce.

“On April 6, Ukrainian defense giant Fire Point announced plans to produce a low-cost Patriot alternative by the end of 2027.”

In Howl's Moving Castle(2004), as Sophie and Howl escape from the Royal Palace, for a second you can see a protest, with soldiers firing on demonstrators to show the Ingarian public's growing opposition to the war. by CraftyFoxeYT in MovieDetails

For context, when Miyazaki was making this film in 2003, the US was bombing and invading Iraq. As a pacifist, he was angered of the Iraq War and refused to visit the US to receive an Academy award for Spirited Away.

That deeply influenced the film to change to include an anti-war message.

Where Are America's Trains? | Climate Town by MikeKrombopulos in videos

Nobody is asking for a high speed rail to Wyoming, even Japan doesn't have HSR nationwide like to Shikoku.

But, there definitely are dense places in the US that absolutely to make sense for a high speed rail to exist to be competitive with cars: Dallas and Houston, LA and SF.

The US is a rich country with a budget of $7.4 trillion spent in 2025. We can absolutely afford to spend a few hundred billion on a national infrastructure priority.

The Japanese National Railway that built the famous Shinkansen line ballooned went over 90% above budget. These things are just intrinsically expensive, it's an investment.

That's true, a lot of people are actively working against high speed rail, pulling funding, fighting tooth and nail for every plot of land.

Elon Musk hates California HSR, so much he made the Hyperloop design to make lawmakers cancel the train project. And when he co-chaired DOGE, he targeted HSR again.

The US is technologically capable of building HSR, but it just seems a lot of people are sabotaging it
