(It surely would work if the straw was at an angle, with the cup more than half full?)

Shoulda been Bernie 😭

Uhh

The argument isn’t that Putin wants a total war with Europe, but rather that he’s perfectly capable to attack a Baltic state. The general idea is that Russia isn’t weak, it just faces a surprisingly resilient and innovative enemy.

So, a limited attack on a bordering EU country is possible. And there currently is a lack of military deterrence to do so, while the benefits (a fragmented NATO) are there.

I dunno, seems fairly clear

One explanation is that a small somewhat deniable attack on a NATO member can slowly erode trust in a reliable article 5 response, bringing about the kind of local alliances world that benefits Putin, who wants to control the areas surrounding Russia.

Whoa, almost no margin for error

Three days, no?

Not debating that, seems plainly true to me.

Not to defend vance, fuck him, but a motorcade would indeed be disruptive to regular traffic. Or don’t vice presidents travel in convoys?

My compromise is that I believe in hell for really shitty people in positions of power, and that’s it.

Nah man, he deserves worse

I think I can bottle with one hand myself.

Awwwww

Yeah, the eugenics thing is frequently repeated here. I guess the point is also that the premise rests on dumb people outbreeding smart ones, and dumb people are poor. But I always saw that as not being the message of the film.

Fair, I mean that it’s not compostable in home compost environments.

PLA is not compostable or anything of the sort. So honestly it’s more of a “this plastic could be recycled, given that it’s sorted out from the other plastic, and given financial viability”.

Edit: as pointed out below, it’s more correct to say that it’s not home-compostable

As if China needs to learn this lesson from Russia.

In this case, genocide, invasions, and the killing of civilians.

Nice! Rest in piece, and may there be a hell specifically for people who commit such injustices.

One neat detail is that the “mince” comes out as St. Georg Ribbons.
