Fires aboard ships are horrific because if things aren’t ventilated the smoke becomes so thick you’d swear it was liquid. The moment you ventilate you can create a rocket furnace that is determined to spread and is hot enough to melt the hull.

These aircraft do not have ejection or parachutes.

Some of you may die, but that is a risk I’m willing to take.

Even in the Falklands War the British didn’t have enough time for proper minesweeping so they just ordered one of the escorts to go back and forth a few times to see if they explode before the troop ships arrived.

Don’t be too hard on the anarchists.

All of the problems anarchists are trying to solve are problems that communists will need to address over time as the state withers away.

A socialist state should be filled with experimental anarchist communes that are trying to solve the next puzzle by living it.

US putting gulf state desalination plants on the menu.

Forbidden soup.

Given that they need planning permission from Scottish Water? Sewer.

Good luck to Iran. I hope they can establish deterrence this time.

It’s my turn to be a bigoted boomer and I chose to be robophobic.

How long until the Gerald R Ford arrives? I’m assuming that will constitute the maximum force they can concentrate in terms of SEAD.

He was in office for days and had nothing to do, really, with Mandelson being picked. This is purely because he has been dragging his feet on the governments plan to fire 30% of the heavily unionised civil service.

Palestinian Action can’t stop winning.

I’ve seen plenty of DV perpetrated by either gender, so I’ve actually never really considered it much of a gendered issue to be honest - except for how society’s patriarchal leanings change it’s expression.

I’ve heard of that before. It’s quite funny to me because I grew up surrounded by a lot of extremely academic Catholics for whom every new detail about biology, physics, and mathematics became an affirmation of the wonders of creation.

Eyes are one of the fastest organs to develop simply because small mutations in structure can convey enormous advantages. There’s also a very clear through line between light sensitive patches, cup shaped light sensitive patches, pinhole eyes, and complex eyes. Every stage on the road to complex eyes gives some kind of distinct advantage.

Eyes remain simple for a long time only because complicated eyes weren’t necessary for early creatures to be successful. The moment more complex eyes began to convey a competitive advantage, they developed in a flash, evolutionarily speaking.

Entirely anti-materialist solipsism.

Good luck Iran.

South America won’t be safe until they have a continental defensive alliance materially supported by china that can knock out US puppet countries.

Earth has never seen a fascist superpowers deaththroes before. The thrashing and kicking as the US goes out is going to be horrific.
