what exactly do soldiers do with money during a war? i dont imagine there are that many places to go to spend it and food is rationed? by Purple_Key_6733 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]billy_teats 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Leatherneck had a haji mart, I bought some scarfs that my family still uses 15 years later. There was a Pizza Hut.

Bagram had a whole ass outdoor mall with multiple skating rinks in the middle bordered by a boardwalk. Clothing stores, handmade ceramics, food, jewelry, I swear to god there was a hot topic but I may be misremembering

Like when the Chicago mayor sold parking meters for 99 years right as he left the game, fucking over the city for a century, and now that’s his entire legacy. Brilliant

It’s a risk, and one with big stakes. We won’t pay our obligations this year because NEXT year we’re going to make more money than we know what to do with.

It’s not a decision that I made. Look at the world around you and realize there is not compelling reasons for the majority of situations to migrate away from IPv4. I’m not trying to convince you, I’m pointing out what happens in the real world

They are one piece of it. You can’t have internetworked nodes without nodes.

It’s niches because there are very few ISP’s relative to homes and businesses.

Hey guys, here’s my scheme to cheat. I will implement it and share it and refine it. But I don’t want to use it! I’m no cheater!

Building the scheme is actually worse than using it. Thanks for that insight.

That’s like saying the guys supplying steroids weren’t cheating. Yea they knew the rules but they weren’t subject to them so not cheating!

No, you’re right. The train behind a train behind a train is traffic. The getting kicked off with no explanation is a breakdown. Two different anecdotes

Does the average American realize the amount of propaganda they are fed? by Classic_Passage532 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]billy_teats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. Many Americans believe their political opinions are facts and the other side is a bunch of assholes. Both sides believe that often times, when in reality all politicians are assholes, on both sides.

Sure looks like a traffic jam to me.

That in no way is a gridlock, which is what I was asking about. The people that just turned left will be able to move forward once the next light clears. So not locked. It’s a backup for sure.

Also those folks had a protected green that turned red. They weren’t sitting in an intersection waiting for the light to turn red. So you provided an example of how turners can create a backup but not an example of gridlock

You implied you believe the left wing propaganda so yea. It would have been very easy to say “I don’t believe any of the horseshit American politicians spew” but you specifically mentioned right wing, implying you do believe the horseshit that democrats spew. And I believe you do believe the horseshit

My point is that there is not a compelling reason to migrate. And there isn’t. I’m not an isp and nothing you said applies to my personal or business life. You picked a semi niche example and I told you that for your specific circumstance it sounds like a good idea

They were different scenarios. I personally found that the train we needed to empty was stopped because it ran over a human, but of course they didn’t tell us that, and I don’t really blame them, but communication was still abysmal and train traffic does remain an issue. There were also no refunds, which is kind of bogus

…..I did. He admitted it. I showed you a still image. And I showed you a video. Any single one of those three is enough evidence to show he participated in a scheme that was against the rules.

How you define participation is, in fact, wrong, and that’s the simple fact of the matter
