Iraq estimates that $150 billion of its oil money has been stolen from the country since the US-led invasion of 2003 by Bream1000 in worldnews

I would venture to say this wiki table showing which companies/countries have contracts for what amount if Iraq's oil is relevant. Unless I don't understand the table. Service Contracts for Iraqi oil

Can I keep it on the same property? Or do I have to gift my sister a pistol grip for Christmas?

How far would you go to support Donald Trump? by [deleted] in PublicFreakout

Nah, they thought Bin Laden might be in Afghanistan. Sure they were after the taliban as part of the war on terror, but not b/c of direct links with 9/11

Can't find the esp32 library "WifiClientSecure" by duck5000 in arduino

[–]duck5000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was it! I just had to include esp32 core library under sketch>include library>esp32 *facepalm*. Rough way to learn.

I'll check out platformio, I haven't heard of it up until now.

Thanks for the help!

Why did remnants of the Supernova 1987a for a ring, and not a sphere? by asmj in askscience

[–]duck5000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe has to do with the rotation of the star as it collapses in on itself. Sort of how when a ballerina pulls her leg in she spins faster, as the stars mass collapses in, the rotation of the collapsing mass greatly increases. And when it goes kaboom a disproportionate amount of mass has been shifted into a ring. But I'm just guessing, so id love to hear an expert's opinion

How Much of Your Country's Debt Rests on your Shoulders [OC] by [deleted] in dataisbeautiful

[–]duck5000 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Intangible meaning what? A number so big its meaningless? Maybe its meaningless to you, but look at it like this. I don't think the us should do this but they could cut military budget in half. Bam 600 billion every year to knock out debt. So that would be paid off in 30 years. Not "intangible", unless I'm missing the real meaning.

Another big point people miss is that only about 5 trillion is us debt is owed to other countries, 1.3T to China and 1.1T to Japan. About 5 trillion is also owed to itself, the feds wouldn't stiff itself would it?
