What happened early this morning confirmed America been gimped by fucking DC and Congress for almost 80 years.
We could have stopped the Cold War with Operation Unthinkable, Korea and Vietnam were winnable and the post CW through GWOT era should have never happened but a return to Teddie big Stick Diplomacy not Democracy building.
Once, not if, once US starts building a Space Force Fleet with SpaceX and Lockheed Martin contractors it’s going to be pretty clear what US should have been doing instead of rules based bullshit/UN policeman.
We are supposed to drag humanity into the Stars Hell or High water.
This is your government’s problem not valves
So ruin the platform via government intervention is all I hear. You then must take on Apple, Sony and MS store fronts and here’s the kicker. Steam is just an app that is hardware agnostic and really smaller part of the gaming market.

This is why I bet on private aviation
May not seem like it now but people with money will slowly start avoiding major airlines when possible for the simple reason that the experience is so bad most of the time
Compare that to pulling into a private terminal and being greeted by staff who care and want to help you have the best possible experience.
Not even close
And before you start talking about safety of private jets vs airlines, just realize not all operators are the same, and your safety should be more than an account number

Cold emails written by AI all scrape the same data for a "haha I am totally a human looking into your company" articles.

Let me give you a very common scenario.
Church is mostly empty with geezers.
Church is raising $20k for some trip to Africa in a country 92% Christian.
Church never once tries to do outreach to their neighbors.
Look at the empty pews where the young families used to sit.
The older members wanted quiet services, clean carpets, and zero disruption to their routine.
Now the budget is dry, the steeple roof is leaking, and the average age in the room is seventy-one.
A church that treats crying babies as a distraction is a hospice waiting for the coroner.
Children are the transmission line of Psalm 78.
They are the living voices that will confess Christ when your bones are dust.
Welcome the noise. Fund the nursery.
Encourage marriage and having children.
Most importantly, build up and train the men and fathers who will disciple and lead them.

In laymans terms,
Titanium implants are strong and the body accepts them, but they’re way too stiff
because the metal takes almost all the pressure, the real bone next to it gets lazy and starts to weaken over time (like a muscle that doesn’t get used).
This was the issue with earlier titanium implants and joint replacements
the new implant though are made from a special zinc alloy shaped like a lightweight, sponge-like lattice
it is flexible and almost like real bone, so it shares the load properly and doesn’t cause that weakening problem
Whats REALLY fucking cool is that its also designed to dissolve over time
So its a temporary implant, and as it dissolves, it releases minerals and ions that actually promote your new, healthy bone in its place
When the job is done, the implant is mostly gone and your own bone has taken over and is the proper strength
-medical engineering is a marvel
today while talkin to my friend (who’s a doctor) I learned something really crazy
That the titanium implants don't just sit in bone they actually bone grows into them
the oxide layer on titanium surface is chemically close enough to biological tissue that cells can't find the boundary so they erase it
osseointegration isn't the implant holding on it's biology deciding the metal belongs there
the skeleton adopts the foreign object as its own
Cyborg vibes

Because Ron is a better persona in the books.
The films have, among other things, to have made love relationships meaningless, in fact that he is against cannon ships in general he has never read the books but only seen the films. Ron also had a broken leg in the books when he confronts Black.

The amount of strange attorneys is a sight to behold
Them: blah blah blah stuff not related stuff not to talk about during the court call
Me (waits until finished): here's where we are at, here is what I'm asking for the next court date and time, and what the parties should do in the mean time
The bar for being a competent and normal attorney is so, so, so low
Because it really was shot across the global bow not to fuck with America(Mostly aimed at USSR). Everyone but Americans also think we are the most likely to still pull the trigger again if a nuke because we are the only ones who have done it in anger. There might be some truth to that. MAD doctrine works because the world still doesn’t know if America might just fire a nukes off to level any nation that tries to be number two to use it in war.
The west defied this nature which lead to it being great. Getting the vast majority of your men to buy into your society can do great things. Killing that engine will ruin a society.

Nick has told his audience to:
1. Not be fat
2. Take marriage seriously and choose your wife carefully.
3. Get into the best school you can and infiltrate politics.
If Nick’s haters didn’t have lies, they’d have nothing.
On the individual level he is wrong. On the meta and systematic level. He’s genius and far ahead of the game.
Do you know how bad the allied BOMBER fleet casualties were? Like really bad. Shut up bitch

I love democracy so much. Elite subhuman piece of shit politicians forcing things on people who never ever asked for it. Because if it went to a vote, the people won't ever fucking vote for it. But you just fucking force it through anyway. I love democracy.
Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s government signs a 10-year labor agreement with Bangladesh.
Bangladesh is seeking to send 100,000 workers to Japan annually.
Follow: @AFpost
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The Japan-Bangladesh summit joint statement references no labor agreement or quotas. A 10-year employment MoC was signed by officials October 17 (copies exchanged during the visit) with none specified; 100,000 figures refer to separate aspirational multi-year targets.
