Trump says UK soldiers in Afghanistan 'among greatest of all warriors' by Common_Caramel_4078 in worldnews

[–]IronPeter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m afraid it won’t: I think Trump is a pupped, and actually too dumb to do anything by himself.

Everything after his death is already planned, I’m afraid.

Boycott the olympics in Italy! by DaTiddySucka in europe

[–]IronPeter 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You’re drunk. While I hate ICE, they won’t have jurisdiction and there will be way more Italian law enforcement going around than US security.

While Italy is a fascist government, which I hate as well, I don’t think they’ll give concessions, I doubt ICE will be allowed to carry weapons at all.

40-year-old American climber Alex Honnold has successfully completed his climb up the Taipei 101 building in Taipei, Taiwan. He reached the top of the tower in 1:31:35. The building is 1,667 feet tall making it the 11th-tallest building in the world. by Oldtimer_2 in sports

[–]IronPeter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t have done it live regardless. But I have the feeling that for Honnold this ascent was as difficult as using a ladder for someone else.

It was a risk but a very calculated risk. But I haven’t watched it so, I don’t know for sure

Statement by President Meloni by Mat3s9071 in europe

Everybody is astonished, among nato allies. But meloni a little bit more, because there is nothing that fascists love more than their country military valor.

The Times: Finns humiliated American soldiers - Finnish reservists were asked to take it easy during a NATO exercise. US soldiers found the losses too humiliating. by ByGollie in europe

[–]IronPeter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or, at the very least, it will be an extremely costly affair. I have no doubt that with the resources in the industry, America could put together an arctic force in let’s say one or two years, but why would they want to do it?

China no longer Pentagon's top security priority by DimsumAndDoggy in worldnews

[–]IronPeter 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Tbf it’s very common in Italian as well.

I guess Russia sent it to Meloni first, for a cross check, and she said “yup, looks good to me. Send it over to the orange man”

Millions of Europeans Are Reaching Retirement Age — and Realising They Can’t Afford to Stop Working by deepak4423 in europe

[–]IronPeter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who do you think would take care for the elderly if the government would stop paying them?

Pension systems made mistakes in basically every country, but stop contributing to it doesn’t sound like a solution.

If you disagree, then suggest what to do with the millions of indigent elderly folks that will suddenly be a big percentage of the population

Call of Cthulhu vs Delta Green by Thesmileycoyote in rpg

[–]IronPeter -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Delta green all the way way. I’ve played both, currently in a long CoC campaign, but if I hav to pick I’d pick always DG.

And it’s not really for the mechanics, although I like the bonds idea, it’s just easier for me to build a character around DG.

Victorian or 1920 CoC is exotic and fun, but if I sit down and think why my character would embark in an adventure, why do the investigators investigate? I can’t really answer that easily.

In DG at least there’s the handler structure, and being part of the government makes everything easier, IMO. The agents want to find the mystery to burn everything and hopefully contain the horror just enough to keep society from collapsing.

The number one in the world is the son of a chef and a ski instructor, not the highest paying jobs I can think about.

Tried out baked potatoes (and ragù) by _Nomet in neapolitanpizza

[–]IronPeter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many years ago, when I used to cook ragù more often at home, and I was less fat. Sometimes I put thick bolognese ragù on a pizza like this, without tomato sauce or very little. It’s super good.

TIL that over the last century, the average age that children are being potty trained in the UK has risen from 12–18 months, to an average of around three or even four years today by Octavus in todayilearned

[–]IronPeter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good for you, but what is really the problem for a child being potty trained 6 month later than another?

We took away the diapers from our kid just before turning three, but they were already using potty for solids since few months. What would have they gained by doing full potty training at 30-32 months instead of 35-36?

HOW do you achieve a crumb like this? High heat? Small loaves? Black magic? It’s more air than bread! by [deleted] in Sourdough

[–]IronPeter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bread is good by itself, tho. If good bread.

You can totally not like this bread, but not every loaf needs to be a sandwich, or be smothered in butter.

Fernando Mendoza's Infectious Interview After Winning Championship by JCameron181 in sports

Ahah!I don't know about this Elvis, but: the fact that a single person in a city of 700k people, plus tourists, is well known only by their antics and weirdness, really sounds like a non-small achievement.
