When you write this drivel and furiously masturbate in a fetid pile of your own feces, do you think of your mother or of children? Just curious.

You know, just because the frontal lobotomy was discounted that day, it doesn't mean it was the best deal ever.
A lot of Europeans have been hoping the whole personal computers internet would end, now they're in nursing homes drooling everywhere.
If you want to be counted among the successful entrepreneurs, you have to disregard the body count. This is not the era of the benevolent firm only aiming to break even anymore. In today's economical climate you either make money no matter what or you die. Simple as that. I spent years downsizing companies (mostly outsourcing IT): did I lose any sleep over the people I kicked into the cold, merciless streets? No. It was the right thing to do. If your job can be outsourced it will be outsourced. If your job can be automated it will be automated. Simple as that. Choose your profession well and have an exit strategy.
The point is, how do you prove conclusevely it was them? And is NATO ready to throw men we don't have and ammunition we don't have into the fray? Russia has made a sorry show in Ukraine (thanks to superior American weaponry) but they have proved they're ready and willing to throw people into the meatgrinder without a second thought. Can we bet on utterly defeating them before we run out of ammunition and before too many young people come back in plastic bags and the public opinion starts screaming for the war to end at all costs? And of course, before we run out of money?
Von der Leyen is expendable. Nobody likes her. Let the attrition in Ukraine go on, another two or three years would be ideal.
Actually, not. The reliance of the US Space Program on german scientists has been quite exaggerated. In fact, they were still fiddling with the concept of vanes inside the exhaust nozzles while gimbaled engines were being developed by American engineers. Atlas and Titan were entirely American designs and the design of the spacecraft is mostly due to Max Faget. They had to overrule Von Braun a lot, he still believed fins were a fundamental part of a rocket stabilizazion system and left to his own device he's have put freakin' wings on the Saturn V. What was interesting about Von Braun's group was their experience with actual rockets, but as the US discarded german-originated designs such as the Redstone and moved to entirely new concepts, the program really picked up pace. He was instrumental in putting the first US satellite into orbit - and that because of petty interservice rivalry. The US would have gone to space and to the Moon without germans.
Isolate and study them so that it can be determined what nutrients they have that might be extracted for our personal use.
And one should add, absolutely involuntary.
You should be grateful because those bases are a net gain for the local economies. Close down a NATO base and bye easy money that most cities and towns rely on. As for making a difference, you may not have noticed but Russia didn't manage to take over even Ukraine and that's mostly down to American training and weaponry. Eat American shit, euroboy.
Unfortunately the euro attitude towards hobbies translates into their attitude towards everything: euros just don't have any drive to excel, to stand out, to be the game-changer. We Americans instead have it ingrained from childhood: strive to be the best, if you fail it's ok but you've got to try. That's why America innovates and why Americans abroad are looked at in a weird (and I'd say not too pleasant) way. Wherever I have worked (and that's a lot of Western Europe) people would stare at me with that "he thinks he knows our job better than us" at first and "oh no he's going to change everything we do" later. Nevermind their production levels and their work environment would end up improved.
Europeans do not like change, it's as simple as that: politicians do not like it and ordinary people do not like it. The few real innovators are marginalized if not ostracized, so they leave and then the press laments the "brain drain". I feel sorry for Switzerland because it has very advanced technical schools, the ETHZ and EPFL are about on par with MIT on many levels and in some they're actually forward, but the researchers formed there have to leave because they're expected to work as bankers (and the financial sector in Switzerland is about to die a very nasty death). It could be a technological powerhouse like Israel - and those guys love to make waves. The mindset is simply not there.
If he survives the 4 years. Inmates do not like nerds. He'll be abused in ways you cannot even begin to fathom. He'll be degraded and brutalized and debased. He'll become a human toilet. What will crawl out of prison will be a human toilet. Which is as it should be.
You can't legislate the nuclear fireball back into the original plutonium sphere. You can however take some grassroot steps. Like pointing at users and yell "That creep is taking pictures of our children!" and let human nature take its course.
And yet MediaMarkt/MediaWorld sells "smart" glasses that do that: https://www.mediaworld.it/it/c....

Burn, France, burn. Never liked them baguette shit people anyway. Meanwhile I'm enjoying my 24 C in Engadina. Aaaaahhhh, life is good. It's like farting in the face of a shit cripple in a wheelchair on the metro, you know? You see his face contorting and grimacing and going all "wawawahahwahah" while his nurse twitches her noses and goes "OH CRAP YOU SHAT YOURSELF AGAIN YOU SHIT CRIPPLE I'M GOING TO KILL YOU SON OF A FUCKING BITCH!"
Heroes? Lol. This is life, not a superhero movie. If you hesitate in a life-or-death situation you're dead, or some other people die. The notion that fancy rules could make planned mass murder (war) "civilized" is ridiculous. Go ahead, abide by your rules and when the enemy doesn't care and you lose, you can enjoy living under their heel and console yourself that you were "civilized". You need the whole world to understand that you're not easy pickings.
Documentation is the castor oil of programming. Managers know it must be good because the programmers hate it so much.
