Fascinating; too bad none of it matters. The problem is not finding evidence—there's mountains of it. The problem is that no amount of evidence will ever be enough. The disconnect is not in the scientific or historical record, it is in the brains of conspiracy theorists. Their desperate psychological need to…

Russia and China seem to have this thing about trying to expose the United States as impotent, when it is far from it.
basically tantamount to war? NATO is saying that Russian Army forces, under Russian flag, have moved on to Ukrainian soil to shell Ukrainian forces. How is that different from war?
I would think the Trans Atlantic slave trade takes the cake.
I lot more people would have died if it hadn't ended the war. Cruel yes, but there are far worse ways to die. Granted, the people who survived the initial explosion weren't so lucky... Anyway 80,000 lives is a drop in the bucket for a war that claimed the lives of over 60 MILLION people.
this is the aid package they really need:
Good news. This isn't jalopnik.
This is on Foxtrot Alpha, a blog about war. Tough cookies bro, you're in the wrong neighborhood.
I was just in Virginia, DC, Delaware and Maryland for the last week. The roads and drivers there are all fucked and I'm sure it's associated with the insanity that is their traffic enforcement. I hat people stop - STOP! - on an on-ramp because the concept of gaining speed to merge was some alien notion. People…
Maybe *you* can't control your car at those speeds, but, that doesn't mean that no one else can.
I live in southern Italy and although there are "speed limits" not a single one is enforced. I literally drive as fast as I want every day. So does everyone else. One thing you learn is that like anything else in life for…
But that doesn't excuse what I did. I came into Virginia and broke their laws; I drove way too fast. This is my fault and no one else's. (Well, maybe the ZL1's.) This wasn't one of those moments where I got nailed going 5 mph over in some ridiculously low section of a county designed only for revenue collection.
People die from cars a lot because people are driving all the time. Almost everyone in America is on the road at some point during every day. Jail time for speeders is insane, especially when a) speeding laws are so discretionary in their enforcement as to be confusing (sometimes going 78 in a 65 is OK, sometimes 32…
I think we can cut these guys a little bit of slack.
Obligatory hell is meant for people who take video in portrait mode post.
people who go more than 80 should go to jail before drug dealers? I'm sorry but I believe even our legal system makes more sense than that statement.
The lower salaries of Russian sailors argue for less automation.
What is "sky wit"?
Great article! There's a scene in The Hunt for Red October where Jack Ryan is briefing the powers that be about the situation, and he says something to the effect that major Soviet naval assets have been suddenly deployed, "including a Kirov-class".
I'll freely admit that shooting someone is almost always gratuitous and unnecessary. But if I'm going to shoot a man, I want the bullet to stop INSIDE the bad guy, not go through him and into the next room. That's what these are for.
