    2023 Israel-Gaza conflict

    Not really, when you think about it. Russia's stick with Ukraine has always been very spiteful when Ukraine isn't the sub of the relationship. Making Ukraine suffer by ensuring medical supplies never arrive is very plausible. Also, Israel might not be giving military aid, but humanitarian aid...

    2023 Israel-Gaza conflict

    There are also conspiracy theories/ideas popping up from the internet, specifically that Russia helped instigate this through various back channels to prevent Israeli medicine from reaching Ukraine and split the US's attention. China is sitting around, noting Iron Dome's effectiveness since...

    RE: Molten Salt Reactors

    Simple statistics. We've been lucky so far, and heavily reliant on at least semi-competent people with near-frozen nerves in positions with their fingers near the nuclear button. Now combine that with the fact that most of the new nuclear powers would rather go for loyalty above all else than...

    USCSB Video Thread
    Threadmarks: Wakeup Call: Philadelphia Energy Solutions Refinery Explosion and Ignored Warnings: Explosion in St. Louis

    So, yeah, an 'indestructible' elbow pipe ruptured, the crew quickly took all steps to limit the damage (including a supervisor activating the fire suppression system manually because the explosion knocked out the automatics), and hydrofluoric acid was largely contained. Basically, a company...

    USCSB Video Thread
    Threadmarks: OP, Videos, and Link

    The USCSB has its own youtube channel, where it has several videos on various incidents in the various industries in the US. You wouldn't believe how many times it's the company or the lack of regulations that are at fault... and just corpos being their psychopathic, profit-seeking selves...

    RE: Molten Salt Reactors

    Yeah, and if we don't we'll likely have a scenario similar to the GURPS setting Reign of Steel's backstory (basically, GURPS's take on Terminator, but the Robots win), where the entire planet had WMDs out of the wazoo. Practically 80+% of the planet, by the time the AIs went 'screw it, we're...

    Regiments - World in Conflict meet Wargame

    It should be noted that later this year, they will have a FreeLC package expanding the unit roster before adding paid DLC next year.

    2022 US Midterm elections

    Please note that I keep seeing that sort of thing with shit like 'TERM LIMITS SOLVE ALL PROBLEMS' and 'PEOPLE BECOME MORE CONSERVATIVE OVER TIME!'... and I'm so sick and tired of it. Sorry about that kneejerk.

    2022 US Midterm elections

    ... wow, just wow. People still subscribe to the dead idea that you change from liberal to conservative when you get older, although it has been scientifically proven false... and that statement is based on that assumption.

    2022 US Midterm elections

    Is that quote still making its rounds? I swear it's like the memetic hazard of 'TERM LIMITS FIX EVERYTHING!' among other stupid ideas like 'GOVERNMENT YOU CAN DROWN IN A BATHTUB'. :rolleyes:

    2022 US Midterm elections

    Here's the thing, movers and shakers of politics are needed, and people keep forgetting that. Obama was paired up with Biden in the first place because he was a far more experienced politician than Obama and thus was able to get plenty of wheeling and dealing with getting policy done.

    2022 US Midterm elections

    Mainly because, up until the 1960s, it was only white men. Politics is not a hobby but a job in itself and one for old, well-connected men. The latter requires a lot of work to get the required connections. A lot of people don't get that. Obama's ripples caused the GOP to go into MAXIMUM...

    GATE: and so the Iron Pact Fought
    Sidestory: A Christmas Miracle Returns

    Oh boy, I found out what has been giving me my damned writer's block: a little side story idea that explores a little more of Hauptmann Aaron. In this case, something stolen and shattered out of spite returns whole. I lost it because Chrome was being a finicky bitch, but it has returned after a...

    2022 US Midterm elections

    Here's the thing, politics is not a field for the young. Never was. People forget that practically every time.
