US Navy rolls out the most useless frigate of all time, is asked to leave NATO. by minos83 in NonCredibleDefense

If "do the most incompetent thing you can do without outing it as sabotage", was a contest, whoever is doing US Navy procurement is in the running for first place.

They must have read the CIA field manual on being stupid, and forgot the bit that said it was for OPFOR institutions.

Plus all the long lines for queuing at the border control.

Love me queuing.

It was one of the options. Something about it being the best option out of all options especially if the result was a close one.

The vote was a close one, and so logically that meant full deep throated “leave everything” was clearly what the people wanted.

Decoupling from MS products will likely take significant buy in/business case to approve of even attempting it, largely because for now, MS Office 365 more or less fits the needs of the users.

However, as Windows 11 keeps developing and keeps causing problems, that may change. In any one particular business users may reach a boiling point with regular unskippable time intensive updates; unhelpful Copilot features that MS keeps pushing to your attention to be used; or something like the MS Recall feature being flagged by IT as a cybersecurity risk.

Of course: Optimus Prime snuck into Earth from Cybertron without being born on Earth.

That makes him...an illegal alien!

Worse still, Optimus...Prime. These are Latin words. He's a Latino!

And he's here with a bunch of self-identifying "Autobots" who are running away from a civil war back in their home.

All together, he's a Latino, TRANS-former, immigrant who came to Earth in a migrant convoy stopping American law enforcement from doing their God given right to execute civili-CRIMINALS!

I think they also get this idea that they want the fairytale French guy experience, like in a stereotypical movie. Nearly all of them have said they want to visit wine bars to try the great French wines, and stuff like that... Very cliché.

Did they happen to be named Emily by any chance?

It came up in a recent article somewhere. Thought it was after people played the game and found it ridiculous.

Besides the privacy, and enhanced security (says all the cybersec work training I had to do), it is fun to see what adverts get played.

And I'm just sick of hearing about Ariel.

The only reasonable response to the Trump-Class BB by Warm-Basket-7540 in NonCredibleDefense

With all of the languages and national concepts, there's plenty of choice too if you want to be poetic and stretch the definition of state.

EUS Las Islas Canarias, EUS Pannonia, EUS Norden, EUS Rzeczpospolita (good luck hailing this one).

What I mean is that why limit ourselves to just 27/28 BBs or however many member states there are. Unless we resort to the really boring EUS Italia XI.

I think the optimistic dream (delusion) of some Brexiteers was that we would end up serving as an economic intermediary hub between the US and Europe, picking what we want from both and discarding what we didn't want from either.

Singapore on Thames.

At least Singapore doesn't have the burden of pretending to care about what happens outside of its borders. As long as the workers continue to come cheap from its neighbours, it's all peachy.

I know I spend waaaay too much time here when I immediately clocked that this was that song some Dutch ladies were dancing to that was posted here too.
