This has always been true about tanks.  You can kill them from the sky.  In WW2, the thing that killed the most tanks was our airplanes.  Tank versus tank combat was actually rare.  What tanks do is multiply the power of infantry units.  

Counterpoint: automated weapons should be outlawed. War is bad because of the human cost involved, not the economic cost. That is what makes war a moral project — it has consequences.  Reducing the human cost involved ensures that there will be more wars.  This may not blow back on us, but we are still responsible…

Wait, just so I’m clear, you’re saying the 105 mm gun slaughtered the T-72s?  That’s fascinating to me since that gun has such a long history.  

Man-portable anti-tank weapons have always existed. In WW1, the combatants used armor piercing, anti-tank rifles, which were sufficient because the armor on the tanks was pretty thin. Contrary to the article, the Russian RPGs were not the first personal shaped charged weapons used against tanks. That title would go to…

This depends on the state, but in New York, where this suit was filed, the statute of limitations for fraud is either six years from when the fraud occurred or two years from either when the plaintiff discovered the fraud, or with reasonable diligence could have discovered the fraud.

Presumably, this will be after the model update, right?  Also, I kind of think the golden age of car buying might be after the Macan goes electric . . . 

This comment is so dumb.

Just a thought here, but as ex-Gawker employees, it’s probably best to keep in mind that lawsuits that appear to be frivolous can often have impacts that are bigger than expected.  And for what it’s worth, Wood is correct about the Kentucky statute.  It clearly states that the demand for retraction must only be…

Um, to me, this sounds a lot like Bill Barr is firing Mueller as the first thing he does.  Saying that they’re wrapping up is just spin on the fact that Barr told him to stop investigating.  Also, recall that Barr said he may make changes to the Mueller report before it is submitted to Congress.  Trump gets what he…

No one’s real name is ‘Thor Drake.’ 

That’s all well and good, but the call to “Abolish ICE” is not asking to actually get rid of all immigration enforcement. Rather, it lays down a marker against nativist politics. In other words, it’s messaging—the same as Trump’s demand to build a wall. No wall was ever going to be built. It was a message, laying down…

Why is the Jeep Grand Cherokee not a premium vehicle?  It’s a luxury SUV.  

I’m a Type 1 diabetic, and I am thankful to have very good insurance that isn’t causing me problems—at least for the moment. I know it will at some point. The pharmaceutical companies see me as a cash cow. I need their products to survive. The insurance companies see me as a drain on their profits. They have to pay…

Kind of sounds like Beowulf? I mean, killing Grendl and then the real horror—Grendl’s mother.

Maybe Twitter can just delete itself?

Yeah, pretty much. Sure, it’d be nice to have some canned answer on this. “America is a nation of immigrants. I believe we need to treat people with dignity and respect. I won’t be putting children in cages.” But he doesn’t need some built-out policy proposal, and especially not just so he can satisfy internet…

That would be surprising.

The lawyer might be wrong, but the court system won’t be.  You’re example about the Carlson assumes that Alfonso doesn’t have a claim to this work, and, again, that’s an issue for the lawyers to sort out.  When his suit was first announced, lots of people very quickly discovered that choreographers are entitled to…

Those questions are why lawyers exist. They will be answered, even if not here on the comments section of a video game website.

What if immigration isn’t a significant issue?
