At first I thought that said graduated and was a little sympathetic, but no he *dropped out* and yeah bro I'm sure when you were a sophomore you were convinced that bitcoin or GME was going to make you infinite money and, well, you were old enough to make bad decisions.

I think an acceptable alternative would be handing Ukraine the APS-2 stockpiles but even *that* is probably too far which is frankly condemnation of the US.

Also also, I'd point out that neither Germany nor the UK nor the USSR nor the ROC nor Japan were brought to the point of surrender by non-nuclear aerial bombardment, even with *vastly* greater overall bomb tonnages than anything the V weapons could dream of.

..than even a B-17 much less a B-29, even ignoring that a bomber had reasonable if not particularly rosy odds of coming back for another go. As far as the Me 262, its turbines required alloying metals that were being sharply competed for and both the Gloster Meteor and P-80 were roughly contemporary

I would not describe the Me 262, V1, or V2 as being particularly war-winning in any meaningful way. The V weapons ran into the issue of poor accuracy (adjustment was literally being done by having spies report impact sites, significantly worse vs Double Cross), and overall payload was much smaller..

Someome described TNO to me as warioware but the minigames take four hours instead of forty seconds and I think about that sometimes.

We're talking about euthanasia wrt "right to die" legislation, not neglect.

If a provider illegally murders someone in the way that you have described they would risk their license and a considerable amount of personal liability even beyond the actual, factual legal risk of being charged with *murder.* Insurers cannot just tell doctors to execute their patients wtaf.

The bubble thing is interesting because I think a number of people have given themselves trauma by binge watching horrible footage from Gaza but the way they're dealing with it is attacking anyone who isn't all Palestine all the time rather than turning off the firehose.

I'm genuinely concerned about the number of people who seen to think that tragedy is a zero-sum game where everyone upset about whatever's most recent is taking away something from Gaza.

It should also be pointed out that HIV in the US, with access to Western (laudatory) healthcare, has gone from "make your peace and settle your affairs" to "lifespan reduction only visible in statistical distributions."

The various arms reduction treaties have resulted in a large stockpile of warhead pits and not much need for new warheads, so the actual Pu is just passed around. The US afaik just recycles/reconditions old pits when it needs to rebuild or otherwise futz with a warhead.

Yeah that's like saying that Germany won WW2 because the US let West Germany back into the global community on any terms and cut it a number of reconstruction checks.

Well, also the risk of "oops the concrete wasn't as good as we thought it was" or "so as it turns out the waste expands as it ages" though that's typically less of a risk with low-level waste since the low activity results in less compositional change over time.

No? All-plutonium cores have been standard for implosion type nuclear bombs since....1960 or so.

Nuclear also has a pretty severe experience drought in the US since NukeE programs have been very steadily shrinking.

Note how all of those refer to HIV/AIDS spreading outside the US, in areas where awareness and medical treatment are far worse.

Hm? Direct US military involvement outside the US was at a record low after the Afghanistan withdrawal. I don't think that's a particularly contestable statement.

In terms of direct US involvement? No. Israel doing a genocide is not the same thing as the US supporting Israel in doing a genocide.
