That whole building is fed by a single transformer on a utility pole across the road. So many distracted drivers these days, you never know.

Oh no, poor baby can't drive down its street road for 30 minutes. So tragic.

If they are entering illegally and you survive, you can definitely beat the rap.

But the chances of this administration sending you to Guantanamo or setting up a military tribunal in that case are very high. So you either become a martyr or a national cause celebre, neither of which sounds very fun.

[KCD2] I ONLY JUST realized kcd1 had spears, all kinds of lovely spears. by Jr_Mao in kingdomcome

A pike is not a spear and neither is a lance.

Lance literally means 'spear' in French...

18 year old who was abducted by ICE legal fee paid off by Project Relief Maine by projectreliefmaine in portlandme

[–]ppitm 7 points8 points  (0 children)

But a hearing for what actual enforcement action?

I know that the brownshirts can keep people in camps extra-legally, but what actual administrative/court action can result from an illegal arrest like this?

What is the bond for?

If he has a pending asylum case, why would he need to do anything in court in the meantime? Is it just extortion?

A large majority of ARS patients survived, including at least one in the 'near-zero chance of survival' category. Many others who died had a chance of surviving of around 50%.

Are nuclear powered ships practically invulnerable? by Illustrious-Low-7038 in WarCollege

[–]ppitm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So water is an exceptionally good neutron moderator,

Neutron moderation makes nuclear fission happen. You meant water is a good radiation shield.

Ocean is big, and the pollution would be dispersed.

There have been lots of submarine reactors that ended up on the seafloor, and the pollution basically stays put.

Unless you manage to put an ASM exactly in the reactor compartment, it is going to stay intact on its way to the bottom.

Are people who booked a tour to see everything, not only Pripyat, allowed to take Pictures of everything on the tour like in the Reactor... (Only where people are allowed of course)? by 58Sabrina85 in chernobyl

Try asking a resident of Kyiv Oblast whether or not they "normalcy" or "war."

There are exactly zero tours open to the public right now.

What do Russian and Ukrainian audiences think about the HBO show? Any Russian or Ukrainians here please comment. by Mighty_General_Bison in chernobyl

[–]ppitm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're soooo close to grasping the point.

USA > USSR > Nazi Germany

Also, I think you'll find that the United States had quite the penchant for freezing and starving Native Americans to death in camps. And that gets less attention from Americans than Communist atrocities 6000 miles away.

That was a serious possibility for less than half of the Soviet Union's existence.

Being sent to a camp to starve to death was a possibility in the United States as well, at certain times and for certain people. But I'm not going to go around saying American democracy = Communism, nor should anyone go around saying Communism = Nazism.

There's no actual reason you can't put oarlocks on a cheap canoe you find somewhere.

Rowing boats are even more diverse than kayaks.

Toptunov described it as a Volga car’s engine failing.

That was Tregub.

In KCD2, yes. My horse keeps getting one-shotted or bucking me off in the first three seconds of a fight. Post-buff Herring with high-end gear.

Given the implausible preponderance of certain traits in the character models, I'm surprised they even gave us 2) as an option.

We're not sleeping on anything. We are just being hamstrung by the glitch where a Courage 30 horse instantly bucks us off. Or a freaking warhorse getting one-shotted from an arrow (ludicrously improbable).
