The yields are much higher, and the number of warheads is insane, but there are only so many targets. Should the worst come to pass, there will be a lot of overlap, devastated areas hit multiple times. Also, a lot of these will be aimed at mostly empty space where the silos live, in order to stop the enemy from second / third strikes. I think the idea that everyone will launch everything all at once is just not likely.

He planned at losing, but being the colossal loser he is...he accidentally snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. He's such a loser he can't even lose right.

Do you people even listen to yourselves?

Regulators back then were understood to be particular type of highly accurate clock that was used as a baseline for time keeping: other clocks were set and updated based on the Regulator. The root word was also contemporaneously used in a medical context; e.g. regular bowel movements, regular heart beat. Later, it was applied to devices which control gas pressure.

Does that mean the government, (or the king, since the root of regular is Rex from Latin) had authority over those clocks, or was particularly concerned with his subjects intestinal health, or the pressure of their gas? Of course not.

In the face of zionism, left and right are meaningless concepts. The adherents of that...philosophy...forever sit in the middle, tipping the scales in whichever direction is most likely to achieve the results they desire. The zionist by their nature just happens to most closely align with the religious fundamentalist Christians who want to bring Christ back, and see prosecuting wars in the Middle East as the way to fulfill the scriptures. Even in the absence of a religious element, they'll just as surely play the left or right with economics, securities, and promises of making personal fortunes by investing in the war complex and using their positions of power to always escalate the situation so the grift can be perpetuated.

There's just no making some people happy. I'd think you'd praise the renaming as a moment of clarity / truth in advertising. When is the last time the DoD worked in a purely defensive capacity? Never? It was a highly optimistic name from the start.

Besides, it was the War Office / War Department up to the end of WWII. If anything the renaming was returning it to its roots.

Is it really intangible, though? If someone wanted to do a study, I'm quite sure it would be possible to directly measure the effect of law enforcement. Crime rates. Property valuations. Personal income. Business revenue. Diversity of businesses. The amount people walk outdoors. Body Mass Index, calories spent, etc. Since you bring up art, I expect the number of outdoor art installations could be related to law enforcement. If your area is basically little Mogadishu, public art is probably low on your priority list especially if it's likely to be vandalized or stolen and sold for scrap.
A whole host of statistics could be inferred and extrapolated when comparing one area to another.

How is people feeling safe non-economic? That's silly. People from all walks of life expend unfathomable amounts of money to feel safe every year--whether or not it actually makes them safe in any meaningful way. Feeling safe is one of the great drivers of real estate value: separating oneself from unsavory characters can be quite expensive, whether it's choosing an apartment with window bars on the right side of town versus one without, owning a home with a network connected camera system in the burbs, owning a home in a gated community, owning a flat in building with a doorman and security in the city, or a multi-millionaires building personal fallout vaults in New Zealand. the home security market is surely in the multi-billions in the US alone, even without considering real estate. It's all economic.

Catching criminals is tangible, tautologically so. If they're in custody, a criminal cannot commit more crime. Segregating the criminal element from polite society is an economic activity that affects other economic activity. Nobody but criminals, crazies, and trust-fund socialists want to live in an area with no, or ineffective police.

I've never used google home, so I'm totally in the dark here--but if they haven't previously implemented a feature as simple as a button or switch, how can it do anything else at all? It's the most basic of input methods.
At any rate, occupancy sensors / motion sensors basically operate on the same premise as a physical switch in any home automation system I've ever used. Without that capability can it even be called a smart home system?

Because it involves him being an Israeli asset. How does an non-credentialed private school teacher with a history of poor performance and allegations of misconduct with the young ladies move into the financial sector with Bear Stearns and immediately begin making tens of millions of dollars? They don't.

One must never question the methods or the motives of our greatest ally, or they will be branded an antisemite and made a pariah of polite society, the one that's cool with turning predominately women and children, and unarmed men who occupy a densely populated open air prison camp into bits and pieces using our tax dollars.

Why burn it when you can sell it to someone for a whole lot more? It's not like there won't be a buyer for it in the future.

The US government gave moderna alone $10+ billion in grants and advance purchase agreements regardless of the eventual effectiveness; that doesn't count what their extortionist salespeople gleamed from the rest of the world. More billionaires were created at that time than any other point in history. It's said that among all of those companies producing C19 vaccines, the eventual PROFIT was 90 billion USD.

Just between us, I think they did a little bit better than "free". A sensible corporation, of course, would be expected to retain some of that windfall and expend it on research and making their products better, more effective, safer, etc. rather than immediately turning around and making their boards, main shareholders and a handful of executives unfathomably, impossibly rich.

Renewables makes little sense in the context of AI focused data centers, which require very consistent power supply. Some of them are planning on 1GW of power usage once fully built out, but there are some already in the 500MW range. We are talking about an installation needing ~2000 acres of solar panels just to power the base load of a midrange AI center with NO consideration for night time use, basically double that to account for the night usage, add in another 20-30% for variability in either solar or wind sources. And throw in some ginormous battery system the likes of which the world has never seen, and you're beginning to get an idea of what's required just to support one data center.

The one thing people fail to recognize about dog whistles is that you have to be a dog to hear them.

Perhaps the gay dating portion of the site was a better, more productive use of time, but the straight side represented only the dregs of society. As I remember, the sheer quantity of low quality mutants was most impressive; and that was once one managed fed to filter out the obvious sex workers, scammers, trafficked individuals, etc.

Regarding the "Fishing boats": even the most adherent of the mainstream lefty agitproppers have long since abandoned that narrative, because it's so easily disproven by even a layman with a modicum of knowledge. Fishing boats don't have a hundred thousand plus dollars worth of Yamaha outboards on them. They don't go 80+ miles per hour, they don't go beyond the horizon in the middle of night, and they actually carry fishing gear and tackle, which anyone with a functioning eye can plainly see none of those boats had.

You're like five news cycles behind the times, bub. There is no argument that you can provide which would prove these boats were not up to no good. On the other hand, is there an argument that maybe we shouldn't blow them out of the water? Maybe try making that argument instead of repeating stale propaganda.
