Comment Careful what you ask for, PHB's (Score 2) 69

I don't know if one can eventually get used to it, but when I work long hours or weekends, my brain doesn't work as well, and as I get older, my eyes get tired so that it takes longer to switch focus, and I make more typo's. It's the old joke: "If you want it badly, that's exactly how you'll get it".

Well, it is pretty clear that China would also massively lose in any such scenario.

Is it?

I mean, I have no doubt that (barring something like Pearl Harbor) the US military would take the opening rounds of any US-China conventional war, but the but the supply of equipment possessed by the US Navy and US Air Force is relatively small, will attrit fairly quickly, and the relative industrial capacity and resource availability of the US and China today is very much in China's favor. It's doubtful that the US could execute a building program like it did from 1940-1945 (and especially 1942-1944) because it would take years to build the tools just to build the tools.

Why can't you append "-quora" to your query?

Because modern search engines (not just google) have decided that they know better than you and will often ignore your specific search terms to return the shit that they think you should know instead. Quoted search terms, exclusions, etc, are all cheerfully ignored to return a result set that is utterly useless for your purposes and somewhere there is a design team patting itself on the back for what a great job they've done.
