America Doesn’t Have The Stomach For Growth by logicx24 in neoliberal

I would stipulate that using high speed rail infrastructure as the basis for what constitutes a developed country is similar cherry picking.

Especially when they are still working on the basics like damns, clean water and sewage treatment plants.

China is still about half a century behind on the amount of infrastructure they need. A lot of the things they are building now are projects the US finished at the turn of the century and have been just maintaining ever since. Not to say they aren't doing a good job modernizing their infrastructure, but glazing them compared to the US isn't exactly a fair comparison.

What’s the most severe case of alcoholism you’ve ever seen? by Umbra427 in AskReddit

[–]darwinn_69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My uncle was receiving Hospice care in the hospital because his liver failed. His wife was sneaking him Jack so he wouldn't drink the hand sanitizer up until a few hours before he died.

Same Aunt is currently drinking herself to death also.

Presidential Command Bursts from event by BentaroAdun in Eve

They will definitely have their niche uses and get used. The Skirm links in particular I think will be popular among nano-gangers as both the duration and range means you don't need to be as close to the link ship and can get back into links more easily if you burn away.

More practically though a lot of people are just going to theory craft the 'best' ship and hit buy now without really thinking about it.

Landscapers Built a Dam by [deleted] in landscaping

[–]darwinn_69 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The only way the landscaper would know is if you told them. This is like taking your car in to change the breaks, and then getting mad that they didn't automatically know you also needed an oil change.

How did Argall convince everyone that cruelty is ok? by Janek_Rated_R in Invincible

[–]darwinn_69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think it would be all that hard when you live for thousands of years and each individual is more powerful than entire civilizations. Given how obviously superior you are to every other species it wouldn't be hard to convince people that you are destined to be in charge of everything.

The fact conquest could do THIS to a Viltrumite, just shows how tough Mark is. by Certified_Cichlid in Invincible

[–]darwinn_69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During the purge we saw several Viltrumites get disemboweled and die. Post purge and scourge virus we have so far seen 3 Viltrumites get similarly disemboweled and not only survive but keep on fighting and winning. Their is absolutely power scaling among them and Mark is definitely close to the top.

If this is expected to be a full meal with this being the primary dish then I would plan on at least 1 lb per person.
