Plucking (and butchering) a goose around other people? I know the middle ages didnt exactly smell like roses, but plucking a bird is damned smelly. Maybe that's why they're getting told off.

During the early occupation of Afghanistan after 2001. Here's a news article from 2003 http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/2912617.stm

Note that that wasn't on purpose.

Yeah, this definitely looks like airdropped chocolate to me bro.

Ah, this reminds the time when cluster munitions were bright yellow, so you could spot them and stay away.

And food aid packages were bright yellow, so you could spot them and easily collect them.

Yeah...

And asbestos. I work in hazardous materials and the amount of things that had asbestos in them is terrifying.

Asbestos carpets, and asbestos-structured paint for fucks sake. Imagine how many peoppe sanded down asbestos paint...

Ok, so, your point is that eyes have a limited field of view? Yeah, that's something totally different, and not at all what this was about.

The US killed >20% of Koreans... After North Korea invaded the South with massive Soviet backing.

That's like saying "British people held a half-decade long campaign of murders and bombings against German citizens" while leaving out "during WW2"

The good life of the 80s?

well, OP seems to be a healthy white straight male in his 20s, otherwise they definitely wouldn't comment this.

Sorry, I left my magic wand in my other pants..

Me too, but I'm not really at "donating Javelin" levels of wealth.

It's immensely noticeable on radar. That giant round engine is going to stick out like a sore thumb on radar and IR.

No, you see, this is just how amazing Russian AA missiles are!

Most people don't want to break the sacred bond of pretending you're busy, because then next time, they might get caught for doing the same.

In the field of safety there is a concept called a "normal accident", or a system accident. Basically it says that in any complex system catastrophic accidents will always happen, because they are impossible to foresee (due to complexity) and thus prevent. That theory says you need to prepare for the consequence of the accident just as much as try to prevent it.

So, people are always going to lose control, you need to prepare for when it happens.

"he bought me a house"

No lady, you bought you a house

People loved living under Soviet rule SO much, we call tankies tankies

Russia is huge, but it's basically empty too.

And there isn't any same-day delivery to the front from a Depot in Kamchatka, so the size isn't very useful when it comes to offensive logistics

What weird snowflake

Having a lab in orbit is SO much more scientifically useful than going to the moon again by reinventing the wheel-but-dumber. Unfortunately, it's not nearly as useful for political clout as dropping a few more flags. If only a fraction of the insane mountain of money for Artemis was being spent on a new station, we'd have one already.

... buddy, have you tried it? Get up, walk to a mirror and test it. You'll find that the picture shows you what happens
