  1. When Britain entered the Great War in 1914, a huge number of men were called up and tried to enter the armed services. The problem was that at least half of them were so sickly and/ or malnourished that they were not even useful as cannon fodder. The Germans even noticed how small and stunted the British soldiers were compared to themselves.
  2. So would I as I would see it as a way for him trying to get back the money he was forced to spend on Twitter.
  3. Are citing sanctions an excuse to not say Russian armaments are not really that good?
  4. How about Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels?
  5. I have had this on occasion. I have had it while wide awake too.
  6. I subscribe to her channel and yes she was very brave. It did need saying though.
  7. True genius lies in leaving stuff the fuck alone. The fake genius not so much.
  8. Think of space as the oceans on our planet. We have basically sampled a glass of water from the seashore. I would hesitate to say no fish live in the ocean because we found none in our glass. I got this analogy from Neil Degrasse Tyson. Space is immensely big and distances are really really immense. The surprise would be if we did find life.
  9. I think the target of the scam is Trump. The easiest scammed person is a scammer.
  10. The transfer of wealth can only occur if Trump gets out before the inevitable collapse. Does anyone think Trump is foolish enough to not dump his stock before the plunge? I do. The transfer of wealth may be from Trump to those flogging the stock.
  11. Well, over the years I have worked in many places and could go on for hours on the stupidity I have seen. All it takes for any corporation or even a small company to go off the rails is hiring one wrong person. One person who sincerely believes in the jargon or bafflegab they spout is enough to destroy anything. People are not machines in that if the proper input is used, out comes the proper output. People think, adapt, and refuse to accept ideas for any number of reasons. Economic behaviour is human behaviour and we are not rational at all times. Corporate management is really more akin to religion than science.
  12. According to David Wolpert, lack of an omnipotent being is science. As for me I have so little religious feeling I don’t even worry about atheism
