Seems simple to me.
Tickets are tied to the purchaser, and can't be resold.
Duh.
The same characters were up in arms over Netflix buying WB.
I had a free D+ subscription for a while.
Older Disney stuff is good, the new stuff is 100% woke garbage.
With only the rich and famous using them, private luxury terminals would seem to be prime terrorist targets.
Yes, but you have to have a magnetic field to push against.
In Earth orbit the device can interact with the Earth's magnetic field, but propulsion to the moon or Mars?
What will it push against? How powerful is the sun's magnetic field at that distance?
How, exactly, are they STEALING anything?
Give details, not platitudes.
They look like crazy white chick glaasses!
When was the last time Labor won a by-election?
Gotta Kill 'em All!
you sir, are blind, war is never good
What an utterly naive interpretation of world history you have. I can assure you, if you'd been a Jew being rounded up for extermination in WW2 you'd have a different opinion. Likewise, if you were Chinese or Korean being subjugated by Imperial Japan, you'd have a different perspective. There is such a thing as a "just war" even though you somehow ignore the concept. It's usually when your opponent starts the war and is hell bent on eradicating you and your way of life.
Alas, you sit there in perfect safety and comfort, passing judgement on those who sacrificed fa more than you can ever imagine so you could impugn their sacrifices.
For now, people can worry about what type of weapons to use and whether or not certain types should be banned.
But in the future, all the debates will be about will be "how do we pick just the right grid squares in which to Kill All Humans?"
Banned for who? And who's going to enforce this ban?
You have to remember any treaty (a) must have signatories that agree to follow it and (b) there must be a method of enforcement. If you lack either of these two conditions, the treaty has no effect.
If there was a "total war" America would not exist anymore.
Not sure how you think you could pull that off, but whatever.
We sink your carriers, then we siege your cities.
Again...exactly how do you plan to accomplish this? It's not like Iran hasn't been firing missiles at our carriers this whole time. Yeah, it's a halfhearted effort by the Iranians, but what exactly do you think would happen to Iran if you managed to even damage one of our carriers, much less sink one? I can describe it thusly: the American gloves would come off. Iran would be plastered into oblivion via conventional bombardment, and there's very little Iran could do to stop it. Sure, we'd take losses, but the Iranian regime would cease to exist in totality. America has had this option available to it since day one. We haven't exercised it. Not because we couldn't do it but because we chose not to. Do not mistake restraint for a lack of capability.
Plus, Seattle has a 33% office vacancy rate, and the current mayor seems determined to run the rest off.
Looks like they could use the business, but I guess not.
Russian "engineering" at it's finest.
It's a wonder the whole station hasn't imploded.
VMS must die!
