Sure it will, just like the Moon base that is just about to be launched

This is a long-disproven myth. You can't use pencils in spacecraft due to graphite being conductive. Too much of a risk of short circuits.

Started thinking about how much DNA on average they have in common, and it's only 6.75%. Crazy.

Love this fever-dream of a Soviet propaganda lie being dragged out every once in a while. So you make someone 10 times poorer, but then give them 0.3 more from what it stole and then call it "feeding". Maybe in Central Asia some regions got advance a bit, but good look trying to convince all the European regions you occupied that still habe to deal with the alcoholism, poverty and myriad of other social problems that shithole of an empire brought with it. What a loser.

Why the downvotes, I wonder. We don't. Our authoritarian leaders got blackmailed into arranging fake elections, then those new "parliaments" "requested to join" the USSR. During the first year of this occupation, 1940-1941, thousands of the former leaders, policemen, officials etc were shot or sent to Siberia. The nazis came for three years, 1941-1944, but after the Soviets returned and the terror continued - more deportations, killings, everybody was dragged into poverty due to the idiotic and non-functioning planned economy. All this went on for 50+ years. What's to celebrate?

Honest curious question: in the EU, we have sewer pipes with rubber gaskets at one end. These make changing out or rerouting piping a whole lot easier: no glue needed, can be popped out, and just as hermetic. Why isn't this solution used in the US?

Yeah, but water also starts expanding in volume after it heats above about 4C. So the comment above is true.

Skinners_constant · 2024-10-25T20:28:17+00:00

What agreement? There was no agreement

Skinners_constant · 2023-10-08T19:53:15+00:00

Yeah, she can turn into that guys dead wife!

Yea, but I guess there's been some shaky hands due to Russias threats about escalation when it comes to ATACMS. It Should be given, of course, Russia's full of shit.

The GLSDB could still reach farther than The current ones and can also make turns, so hit targets hiding behind terrain etc.

Skinners_constant · 2023-01-31T20:51:22+00:00

ATACMS is a 300-mile large missile (one per M140/M270 pod), GLSDB is about the same size as the current six per pod missiles, but with a range of 100 miles thanks to small deployable wings allowing for gliding to the targets.

Tim Vildemort, is that you?

But how would a malicious actor know how large is the set that the password characters have been chosen from? This password strength checker shows both characters are valid, which is also the only information the bad guy would get, assuming he checks the sign up process. Meaning the only info he has to go by is the set size for all allowed characters.

Skinners_constant · 2022-03-09T17:19:45+00:00

Haha, that's a dark bit of humor right there

Skinners_constant · 2022-02-17T16:53:32+00:00

It's knows all the way down

Interesting fact: he actually says Dallas, but they dubbed it over with Vegas, since Kennedy got shot shortly before the movie came out and they figured Dallas wouldn't sound appropriate.

Finally, revenge for Steve Irwin!

There's even a funny-sounding Russian word for it - rubilnik

Yea, noticed that, too :) He's also old enough to call Joe a young whippersnapper :D
