Iran: Never invaded anyone
Because the only place they might consider invading would nuke them into slag.
never used weapons of mass destruction...
Because we've prevented them from getting WMDs or anything else that would allow them to pose a serious threat.
The entire point of everyone having a gun is so the GOVERNMENT is not safe - from the people.
Oh give it a fucking rest you American Gun Nut Anonymous Coward. The government has drones, warthogs and TANKS. You really think the Colt 45 you keep under your pillow and caress every night before falling asleep is going to make a difference?
Now go away and watch your VHS copy of Red Dawn again and leave the rest of us in peace.
Have you seen the Iraqi military in action lately?
Saudi Arabia has 200,000 active-duty military personnel, in a country led by old men who consider the middle ages to be a little too progressive for their liking.
Google Maps puts inappropriate weight towards making a route more complicated with short freeway hops
I wouldn't exclusively blame Google for this though.
I travel regularly to the USA on business, and I've used rental GPSes (Garmin / TomTom) as well as Apple and Google services on my phones. They all seem to do this equally - I'm always puzzled why I'm merging on and off in a 1/4 mile....
It is easy to look like victim and bully peoples [sic]
You just quote the parent in your reply and presto problem solved.
I for one look forward to staring face to face at strangers
What in the picture of the config suggests you'll be staring face-to-face?
Try 18 hours Melbourne (aus) to London. Overnight.
Well, when you consider it used to take 3-4 weeks (by ship) this feels like an improvement to me.
This design violates current social norms for personal space. As such I dislike it.
Did you RTFA? In the picture, the people next to you are further away than they are today, and you're not looking directly at anyone.
How the hell did the motor manufacturer prevent the flight?
As you say, it's a prototype on loan for testing, and the contract terms explicitly say Siemens get to say what they can and can't do with it.
The Airbus thing is complete bull; they'd have zero interest in preventing a test flight like this, and plenty of professional interest in seeing it fly.
Oh come on, every Windows installation slows down with usage, to the point of requiring to be formatted.
Incorrect. I'm writing this on a circa-2012 consumer grade HP PC, running Win 7. Performs the same as the day it arrived here and it's never been reformatted / rebuilt.
At work I've been running my first-gen Surface Pro daily since Spring of 2013. No reset, no reformat.
That is only for tax purposes, more or less.
It is about rather more, and rather more important rights than that.
Marriage is about people being together, not about the government allowing it or not.
And that is only related to religion if you decide you want it to be.
Now if we stop talking about mice and start talking about people we can look at what the science has always shown. There are things called diseases of modern culture. As in indigenous people who don't eat like western cultures have low cancer and mental illness rates and no heart attacks.
Except that science has never shown that. Atherosclerosis has been found in mummies (not just from Egypt but also Peru, the southwest America, and the Aleutian Islands), and the idea that modern Inuit have low rates of heart disease was never evidence-based
Fats and proteins don't spike the blood sugar.
But protein does spike insulin.
What science actually shows is what it's always shown: a diet based around whole plant foods, high in fiber and moderate to low in fat and protein, is the most healthful for primates, including those weird bald ones.
