I actually agree. I just don't think the UN and I agree on the definition of "countries impacted by sIavery".

@bee_fumo Didn't even notice it here, lmao.

there was an earthquake here just now. Why would netanyahu do this

@AkkadSecretary Science troosters explaining how the fact their grandpa, their dad, their uncle and themselves have heart problems is completelly unrelated and simply bad luck.

It's not luck.

@jeff_of_norwich In my limited experience working with Germans what ends up happening is they form a committee to discuss how to tackle the problem which gets nowhere, but it's fine because one guy fixed it 5 minutes in while no one was looking.

I love the Germans, but in my experience, I tend to find they write volumes about how bad a problem is, which no one has time to read and, subsequently, no solution is implemented That's not to say we're better in the UK; we'll rush a solution which often creates more problems

The only thing capable of outcriming a bIack man; a gуpsу.

@akpwoiw27 @politicswarblog @blacknredtext What's your opinion on abortion?

@politicswarblog @blacknredtext Yeah because the kid matters more

@ifranocasaoui @HumbleFlow I suspect you have experience with that but the funniest part imo is when they travel to their countries of origin and get angry about how "westernized" and "harram" everything is.

@ifranocasaoui @HumbleFlow Trust me, I know. The countries they come from realized it's a win-win situation for them. Get rid of the extremists/criminals without paying for prisons or kiIIing them (bad diplomatically), get a voting block supporting you in the west and remittances on top of that.

I don’t think many people realize this, but Muslim women aren’t always just passive victims They are actually deeply committed to the ideology and play a role in supporting and sustaining it

@Trutown 3 years ago two trains collided headon, kiIIing 57 people and since then both sides (government and opposition) have been throwing out schizo theories and pointing the finger at everything but the gypsiеs who stole the system meant to detect that two trains were on the same track

This problem could be fixed easily. But the justice system lacks the guts.

@kwesi_eb The sIaves over which your foreign minister demands compensation were mostly conquered peoples taken captive and sold by the Asante empire during its wars of expansion. You're not "genocidal maniacs" because seIIing the people you conquered off was more profitable.

@Smthingedgy Because we are not genocidal maniacs we suck at violence?? I prefer to suck it than basing my culture on violence only & nothing else. Savage culture!!

A serious country would respond by bοmbing Accra.

@kwesi_eb All cultures are about vioIence, you just suck at it.

@Smthingedgy Colonizers never change, what do I expect from white culture?? It's all about violence

@AndreWGMI @scotus_wire Can I hold the people who build the road liable for damages if a drunk driver Tbones me? They did, afterall, "profit off the infrastructure" that enabled the crash.

@scotus_wire so ISPs can profit off the infrastructure that enables piracy but walk away clean because they didn't do it themselves, who exactly is supposed to be held accountable then?

🚨 The Supreme Court reversed a $1B copyright verdict, holding that Internet Service Providers aren’t liable for user piracy based solely on knowledge of infringement.

@null_user_value @AndreWGMI @scotus_wire Fuck it, hold the bank liable as well. They did, afterall, construct the doors and entryways that enabled the robbery.

@AndreWGMI @scotus_wire We should hold the roads liable for bank robberies too.

@TheVitaminSage @Anchovy_Pizza It's not weird at all, what's actually weird is liberal democracies insisting on making their enemies look wеаk and rеtаrded. If I struggle against someone in a fight you bet your ass I'll make him out to be the biggest badass on the planet when telling what happened.

@Anchovy_Pizza Asia is weird, have you ever seen the Chinese propaganda that makes America look badass?

Why is NK propaganda about Americans cracking NK baddies?

@8EyedEel *"Country with such a serious past it manages to remain serious despite its deeply unserious present"

@welletoraptus @AnishA_Moonka Everyone bringing up added extra payload weight is wrong. The problem is its electric motors output about half a horsepower (collectively). And that is because it uses a 120W RTG generator to power everything onboard. Thicker wheels->beefier motors->more energy consumption.

@AnishA_Moonka Why didn’t they make it 2mm thick? Couldn’t be that much of a difffrence in anything?!

Those wheels you’re looking at are 0.75 millimeters thick. That’s half the thickness of a US dime. Each one was carved from a single block of aluminum, and NASA sent six of them to Mars knowing they’d eventually shred. Curiosity was built for a 2-year mission. It landed in August 2012, and by December that year NASA had already extended the mission indefinitely. Thirteen years and 35.5 kilometers later, the rover is still going, but the wheels started cracking just 14 months in. The damage came faster than anyone at JPL predicted. Sharp embedded rocks were punching straight through the skin between the treads. So NASA assembled a Wheel Wear Tiger Team (a crisis problem-solving tradition that goes back to Apollo 13) and got to work. In 2017, they uploaded a traction control algorithm from Earth that adjusts each wheel’s speed in real time based on the terrain, reducing force on the front wheels by 20%. They rerouted the rover to softer ground and started driving backward when possible, because pulling wheels over rocks produces less force than pushing them into rocks. The wildest part: if enough treads snap off, Curiosity is designed to find a sharp rock on Mars and use it to deliberately rip out the damaged inner section of its own wheel. JPL tested this on a replica rover and found Curiosity can keep driving on just the outer third. They predict this won’t be needed until around 2034. Every 1,000 meters, the rover pulls over and uses the camera on its robotic arm to photograph its own wheels so engineers on Earth can count every crack. Each wheel also has tiny holes that spell “JPL” in Morse code, which Curiosity uses to measure distance by photographing its own tracks in the dirt. These photos directly changed the next rover. When NASA built Perseverance, engineers 3D-printed about 70 different tread designs before landing on 48 curved treads instead of Curiosity’s 24, with thicker skin. They tested the new wheels over 60 kilometers and got zero damage by Curiosity’s original failure definition. “A boring graph with no data on it,” as one JPL engineer put it. A $2.5 billion machine doing self-surgery with rocks on another planet because the mission outlasted its design by 6x.

@ifranocasaoui @HumbleFlow FYI in France (only country that bothered to document these things) the male to female ratio of musIims who left to join lSlS was ~1.77 to 1.

@Smthingedgy @HumbleFlow Nice you now have to find the same story for about half a billion Muslim women you're not that far

@BuschPhysics @uncle_deluge Tbh it was either that or Britain taking it for free. Which is, hilariously, the reason why Napoleon sold the Louisiana territory for a pack of cigarettes and a hot dog. And why Spain sold Florida for- You get it by now.

@uncle_deluge Guy who is still really mad about Russia coughing up Alaska for a pack of gum and some spare change

Fascinating stock photo. I cant even imagine in what context you'd use a map of North(ern) America that excludes Alaska but includes Iceland
