Gotta Kill 'em All!

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.

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.

Not sure how you think you could pull that off, but whatever.

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.

Hydraulics for front end attachments are bolt on, with PTO driven pumps.

Internal hydraulics for the three point hitch on the back do most of the work.

I've been getting more scam texts than emails lately.

Iceland or Greenland might be good spots.

Lots of geothermal power and ice water.

This reminds me of a video I saw on titanium extraction, except there seemed to be dozens of steps involved.

Depends on how crazy you are.

I got this update a couple of weeks ago, and it is ANNOYING.

Trying to shove crap I could care less about in my face, plus MORE ADS.

It takes a bit of work, but most of it can be turned off.

Then release the video on pay-per-view.

Because M$ is THE EXPERT on vulnerabilities.

Only if it's presented in a high pitched, grating voice.
