  • The use of "urchin" to refer to children is separate from its original meaning.

    Maybe it became that as a word for something underfoot?

    Do you have trouble explaining your job to people?

    UK backs Ukraine to strike Russia with Storm Shadow missiles
  • I thought this had been the situation for a while. Didn’t they publicly back this very briefly before quickly walking it back?

    they have entered into a license, development and manufacturing technology transfer agreement for Agenus' Oncophage® (HSPPC-96; vitespen) vaccine

    They must have had great chemistry together
  • I don’t think I’m responsible for other adults’ reactions to my life choices or my lived experiences. my suggesting that they or their spouses changing their surnames upon marriage implies some sort of ownership.

    Sam Bankman-Fried found guilty on all counts at fraud trial over crypto exchange FTX
  • The jury got a real rare treat of watching a Federal Prosecutor skillfully remove the vital organs of a man with his own words.

    I saw a great line in an article earlier that described it as "she simply unhinged her jaw and ate Bankman-Fried".

    Ukraine will receive Ground-launched Small Diameter Bomb (GLSDB) this winter
  • The name's that way because it's taking the existing Small Diameter Bomb (SDB, designed to be dropped from aircraft) and fitting it to a rocket so it can be launched from the ground instead.
