Well, that’s the lack of accountability.

These are not mutually exclusive.

Perhaps, this was what you were missing.

We might also be the only part of it that knew it was.

I wish I were successful or well adjusted.

I keep wondering… Just what happened with that bear? How did you kill a bear with your… Bear killer.

Some funny ones there.

Like Bear Killer.

Or Fun Destroyer.

Wouldn’t an STL file be sufficient?

On some level I agree with the sentiment that China’s military power aspirations seem to be primarily regional with soft power as we zoom out I would argue for “Don’t listen what leaders say, watch what they do”.

You don’t build giant landing craft unless you consider a marine landing warfare scenario as credible. You don’t build aircraft carriers unless you care about power projection. You don’t need ballistic missiles unless your enemies are far away. All of these things cost money you could otherwise spend on keeping your citizens happy.

There are a lot of verifiable and expensive signals about China’s power posture transitioning towards a more expeditionary one. Now, they might end up carrying the big stick and speaking softly, which is better for everyone – even if the PRC ends up getting their way – but that just means the hard power lever was used in a different way.

It is normal for militaries to conceal the identities of military aviators, doubly so if they have been part of a high profile mission.

That is the charitable view anyway. I also have a hard time inagining trump passing on the photo op.

Then again, plastic too.

Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell.

Of course they are, in capitalism, capital likes capital.

Or fools.

You see, it breaks the silhouette and makes it harder to hit the soldier.

Go stand with your phone where you’d expect to place the extender.

If it gets a strong signal, you are probably fine.

That looks like a fun build and I already have a lava lamp! Anyone got an RPG-7 they can spare?
