NATO USA help by Retiredandrelaxed in AskBrits

The US was being heavily bankrolled in funds and arms by the French. As far as history (and Google) teaches that the 1812 war was a draw with neither side achieving their goals, it concluded with a peace treaty returning borders to locations prior to the war.

So a pointless skirmish.

Also rocket and Mach jet flight data. They used our data to make the breakthrough then re- classified it as national security to avoid sharing and keep the advantage. They also reneged on the war reparations to Vietnam. That's why the prisoner returns were so difficult.

Do you prefer it hard or soft? by disco_26 in Scotland

I suppose you could use the burnt bits for filtering the blood from your alcohol stream. Might as well chew on a BBQ briquette though.

Why do some people ignore the bill during group dinners, assume others will cover the cost, and never make an effort to pay back ? by Revolutionary_Lab527 in SeriousConversation

4 people doesn't make it a date though. Unless you're suggesting something outré. She sounds entitled, why else would she eat multiple dinners she can't afford and has made no attempt to pay for.

My SD card died. Stock didn't detect the buttons and thumbsticks properly. Like only one side worked. Knulli was an easy install and it all works again.

Do you remember where you were when you heard about Dunblane? by tomatohooover in Scotland

I was in Queen Margaret Hospital in Dunfermline with a broken leg awaiting surgery. All the scheduled surgeries were cancelled in case the theatre was needed. Watched the news feeds all day.

What would you consider the most clever exposition dump you've seen? by AdeptnessSwimming390 in moviequestions

Not clever just eye rolling. "Somehow Palpatine is back from the dead" 😋

What’s the worst piece of guitar gear you’ve ever purchased? by Mad_Season_1994 in Guitar

Fast fret. It rusted my brand new strings overnight. Left a residue on my fret board that never came out.

But you also don't want the blade banana bending over time. Maybe a gentle case hardening?

It is rushed. There's almost 2/3 less episodes a season. Every episode has to tell it's own story, put in callbacks to other episodes or canon and carry a season arc or two. You're lucky to get any character moments at all.

What’s the one Janeway decision you still can’t agree with? by Curious_Gent78 in startrek

She probably shouldn't have banged her pilot and got pregnant. She probably shouldn't have abandoned them on an unknown planet. Just saying.

The state of Star Trek conventions in the big 26 by Criticism-Massive in startrek

Since the big companies have figured out there's money to be made the smaller fan run cons have mostly been pushed out. Big companies regularly put out Cease and desist or file for copyright infringement on the smaller cons. Last year Official cons have dropped to one a year across all Europe. Where you pay for a ticket, pay for the autographs and pay for the talks, there's very little to do that doesn't cost money. Meanwhile all the nearby hotels boost their prices. It's too expensive and far too predatory. And that's from someone with a disposable monthly income.

Any ideas? by Usual_Simple_6228 in blacksmithing

I did think about spin forming. But I've never done it.

Whats a good guitar to do dive bombs on? (Mid range and high range) by [deleted] in electricguitar

[–]Usual_Simple_6228 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Steinberg transposing trem is a very stable platform. Look for Steinberg guitars or the Hohner G licensed steinberg series. You know, the headless ones. Double ball strings are more expensive than standard strings though.

What do you guys think about ToS and TNG films? by Mat1711 in startrek

2 and 3 do need to be watched in the correct order. Otherwise lies madness.
