Rofl, ever been there?
You have no clue at all.
You guys took about 15 pictures/hour on your honeymoon? (assuming 8 hours/day of sleep)
When did you guys find time to fuck?
What do you think is *IN* those 7000 pictures? Hint: it ain't the local scenery or tourist spots....
I'm sorry, that isn't an approved measurement. Can someone give it to me in football fields?
Why would Chechnya "export" terrorism?
Sorry, seems you have not much clue. Chechnya is a nation that tries to separate from Russia.
During WW II the chechnic "terror attacks" would have been called "commando attacks", sure getting civilians as hostages in a theatre is a bit over the edge, but the germans, the spanish and the italian _REGULAR TROOPS_ did the exact same during WW II and the Spanish Revolution wars.
Perhaps that is one of the many reasons that all south americans hate you?
Anyway, was that law ever executed or "enforced"
A total trade embargo from the USA only, not from the rest of the world.
if you are into Rum you should treat it like a Whiskey and try the small (less known) distilleries like from Grenada and other small islands.
I have none in mind right now, but can ask a friend who is kinda an expert.
I doubt the US administration "realized" anything.
Very likely a conglomerate of US companies sees business opportunities and is pulling strings behind the scene.
There where no dire predictions made decades ago about present time.
You must have read an SF story and mix that up with predictions of scientists.
What I wonder is how long it will be before some mega rich person(s) decides to build a semi-permanent offshore city, not so much a rig, more a case of a huge boat that is actually anchored to the ground and you take boats TO it.
There'd be loads of technical hurdles, but given the sheer size of such a construction, the issues of waves would be lesser, more so if it is designed properly to deal with them. (not to mention the use of large-scale wave guides similar in design to metamaterials, which is being tested on some oil rigs last I remember)
I'm not sure what the benefit of that would be over the very large mega-yachts the super-rich currently use - they're mobile, so they get the benefits of going to places around the world in luxury, plus being able to move out of the way of bad weather, etc.
I suppose the possible sheer _scale_ of a floating city has an appeal as a display of wealth to some.
