The Germans were notorious for using on-the-nose naming conventions. For example a radio-homing system was called “Odin”, which the British correctly guessed was using one transmitter rather than the usual two because Odin only had one eye.

IDK the reason they didn’t deploy that thing, but it certainly wasn’t prudence or concern for pilot safety because the Me163 rocket plane was used.

This was two years ago:

Oxygen tanks are not bombs.

I think the worst example of this was a Robert Redford move I saw once where an oxygen tank was loaded in a tube, the stem was knocked off, and the tank flew into a guard tower and exploded like it was an RPG.

My pet peve is people who insist I know how to disassemble an M14 blindfolded before my opinion about shooting children is valid.

(I know how to unload most guns, which is the only useful thing to do with them)

There was reporting in the Washington Post that contradicts this.

Senior Israeli officials said they voiced support for the cease-fire proposal, but Nasrallah withheld his consent, insisting on a cease-fire for Gaza first, U.S. and Middle Eastern officials said.

“somebody is fucking with me”

The Earth is way too close, and I don’t think a meteor strike on the earth, no matter how energetic, would look like a bullet going through an apple.

I didn’t say it wasn’t American, I said it’s not American to eat it. No American has ever purchased, much less consumed grape nuts. They don’t even put the product in the boxes anymore. Just some led shot and asbestos to give it weight and they change out the box design every once in a while. They’ve been doing this since the 80s, it has to remain on the shelves to satisfy the terms of a demonic contract.

Before that, Grape Nuts was funded by the dentist lobby hoping to cash in on all those broken teeth. But nobody ever bought any and the dentists gave up.

The owner of the Brave browser is known to have right-wing political beliefs. Some people don’t think it’s ethical to use the browser because of this, instead of not using Brave because it sucks.

You can’t copyright AI generated text, video, or images.

However, the courts may be flexible in the future with content that has significant human input. However that gets defined.

I see that the greedy capitalists have also stolen my third fucking comma.

Framing WWII as “good-guy/ bad-guy” betrays the staggering naiveté of a History Channel graduate. But this was a long time ago, he’s probably moved on to the Fall of Rome by now.

If you look closely at the back of the chair you’ll see why even FOBITTS flying drones have a 25% casualty rate.

I’ve always wanted to love Iron Maiden, but I just can’t. It’s the lyrical delivery, like Dickinson invented the opposite of “flow”.

Obviously the band is GOAT when it comes to T-shirts.

Obviously this frat-boy shit is dumb, but if you had to figure out if someone was a real American or a spy, this would be an excellent way to do it.

Like if someone said “I eat musli” or “I like grape nuts” you could go ahead and shoot the spy.

“If I should die, think only this of me: that there’s some corner of a foreign field that is forever England,”

Even their poetry was imperial and expansionist. Oh well, at least this gives me some context for that Roger Waters song.

Yes, that’s exactly how it works. It just seems normal because it’s on Law and Order, but threatening people with prison is coercive.

I collect irony and lefty outlets putting criticism of American Journalism behind a paywall is delicious.

You’re gonna have to explain how a public defender has the power to jail anyone. Prosecutors coerce people to take deals thousands of times every day. Not only is that legal, and normal, the system would collapse without it.

You know, in communist countries they have no respect for private property rights.
