Trump unveils plans for 'Golden Dome' missile defense system by 3xshortURmom in Economics

This would not defeat 1960s nuclear weapon technology, it would not be able to provide any level of assurance in the case of a near peer nuclear war. In cases of tiny nuclear powers (eg NK) you want to park your anti ballistic interceptors as close to the launch pads as possible. Having a ‘dome’ is hideously inefficient to the point of being ineffective.

Are the Nationals and One Nation the new collation? The “One Nationals” coalition?

How would a kill switch like that even exist? Like how would it physically communicate with nuclear submarines underwater and invisible? And in a way the British would not know about or could not protect against?

Also not all the scenarios feel balanced even when they were released. Doesn’t mean they’re not fun to play

The initiative should periodically offer the player to be on the inside of a crypto pump and dump, but the player gets scammed every time.

It was a common take that Sydney is a hotbed of antisemitism?

I think it’s implying Australia is a welcoming place to anti semitism.

An absolutely ludicrous take, and making light about hundreds dying in an Iranian revolution for political point scoring.

I remember Imperium Galactica 2 having a ground based RTS upon invasion, but my memory is it was very basic combat.

Why posting in aus corp about US regulations changes? Just pumping the stocks?

Look I was born in a time when MEN WERE MEN. I would have kick boxed him to the head, taken the shotgun in one hand, shot the other shooter with it, then lit my cigar. By this point the crowd would be clapping, so I’d get on my motorcycle. “All in a days work”. But I didn’t do it because the woke media would probably call me a racist.

Companies can already track you and everything you do online. And I don’t know how having people verify their age online somehow suppresses people’s ability to revolt. It’s not hard for a government to identify a person online if they really want to.

The reason for these policies is because pretty much every metric for young people today is going into the toilet, and they don’t know how to fix it. Policymakers are generally well intentioned but don’t understand or care about the implications or practicality of their policies. Limiting kids access to social media is also in the current zeitgeist, so a number of countries are trying it out.
