The same thing can - and has - happened in England.

It appears you are confusing moral absolutism with moral universalism. I stand by what I wrote.

You rather made my point - everything about morality is relative. There are no moral absolutes - it is up to your (and my) prospective. For the record, I do wrestle with my employment there . . . yes, we did stop many, many Russian tanks. But I also suspect other systems have been used in Gaza by the IDF.

As for speeding and taking out Musk - 100%, sign me up for that moral tradeoff right now!!!

Everything is relative to your prospective.

I worked 10 years for a major EU defense contractor. Mostly on civilian projects, but not exclusively. For many years, I hid my employer from acquaintances & friends - when asked, I would just say “I work in software”. After I left that company, one of the anti-tank missile systems I had a very (very) small part developing started to tear the fuck up Russian tanks across Ukrainian farm lands.

I don’t hide that history today.

This. Right here. This quote. I suggest his family make his tombstone out of stainless steel so they can easily pressure wash away the marker pens of people scrawling these words across it.

Thoughts and prayers.

Never have I felt as old online.

I flew on it . . twice. Round trip NYC - London and home a week later. BA obviously.

At altitude (60,000 feet) the sky was black, not blue. And for any flat-earth’ers out there . . sorry, but from 60,000 feet you could see the curvature of the earth.

The only interesting physical difference I remember was the difference in acceleration departing JFK vs. departing from Heathrow. Out of JFK you are instantly over the Atlantic, so it accelerated from 0 mph to Mach 2.0 in one continuous push. Whereas departing Heathrow, you are over land until the English channel. So it accelerated down the runway like any other plane, cruised until over water, then it felt like it was taking off a second time, with a much longer acceleration push.

Did I misspell all of them?

Advertising, political parties and religions. All of them.

Hello my fellow Scot!

If you need color, then I highly recommend the Epson EcoTank line of printers. No printer cartridges AT ALL - just raw 4 color ink. They cost more than most inkjet printers up front . . but more than save in the long run. And NO DRM in site . . rather difficult to put DRM into liquid ink . . .
