Oh well, I guess there's nothing anyone can do about it then. Tomorrow Americans will have moved on to the next Trump-induced horror and be equally ineffectual about it.

"Suspicious" is putting it mildly: it averages more than one car sold every minute at each of those dealerships.

How long would it take SAAB to ramp up? We're supposed to receive the first tranche of F35s next year.

Trump renamed Denali the mountain but not Denali the park? That seems appropriately half-assed of him.

I had to do a triple take because of the double negative in that title.

I'd be on board with that, but it doesn't solve the short-term problem. I seriously doubt our CF-18s will last another 15 years.

Good riddance. I'm so tired of FOSS projects using that platform as their main communication channel because it's completely disconnected from the Web.

As long as there's no other living creature within their line of sight, they are!

This would be easier if another ally (or an ally, rather) made a 5th gen fighter, but there are none. We'd be stuck either with ageing platforms or waiting another 10-15 years for Eoropeans to finish one of the 5th gens they're working on.

That's OK, there won't be any more elections in the US anyway, so 538 is no longer needed.

Agreed. I'd like to see him in Von der Leyen's job once she's out.

Oops, right, 20oz. I always forget that. Canada often has both sizes on tap.

Nope, it's a standard pint, same as you'd get in an English pub! Same deal with those 946ml containers which are a quart, not a shrinkflated litre.

Bald eagle = overrated and cowardly

Canada goose = looks goofy but is a bloodthirsty killer when provoked

Yup, this tracks.

Edit to add more, because I feel like it: Bald eagles are basically vultures who occasionally fish. They are opportunistic scavengers. Canada Geese on the other hand are very chill, standing around in groups foraging in the grass, but are not afraid of anything. If you get too close they will not escape or even flinch — instead they will either hiss at you, threateningly walk towards you, or lunge at your face and fuck your shit up:

Imperial. Our cans are 355 ml (12oz) or 473ml (16oz / 1 pint) whereas European ones are generally 330ml and 500ml.

Ti ne moy brat,

Please help, I can't into Russian. "You aren't my brother, you're my province"?

Comrade Caius was betrayed by counter-revolutionaries undermining the will of the proletariat and the sovietus populsque romanus!

They're up today, unless I'm missing something. Is there another Nvidia besides $NVDA?

Yeah, Caesar is a bad comparison. Sulla fits better, although at least he was legitimately successful before his coup.
