Oh boy, here we go. Now they even adopted Russia's playbook word by word.

> The US officially took over greenland after denmark *allied* with nazi germany during ww2. People forget that the danes were nazi collaborators.

Was occupied, comrade, is the word you're looking for. They've forgot to put it in your metodichka.


> Was occupied

Occupied? More like warmly welcomed in. Read about the german "invasion" of denmark if you want a good laugh. Denmark was nazi collaborators.


> Read about the german "invasion" of denmark if you want a good laugh.

Your comments are more than enough, don't need to go there.


> why would anyone trust any treaty or other agreement with the US ever again?

Nobody would, but 1 trillion defense (scratch that) war budget says you have to agree.


The 1 trillion budget says the US can flex its muscles, but once sovereignty is at stake, the US army becomes an ineffective money sinkhole only good at committing war crimes, as the last century has clearly shown.

If the other side have sufficient nuclear warheads it does not really matter the size of the war budget.

You have to be willing to use them though and suffer the consequences. Having them isn’t enough on its own.

Exactly, and that isn't in the billionaires interest so it's not going to happen. They'd rather all their consumers attention be available to them than dealing with nuclear fallout.

Greendland People's Republic? Actually they were American all along, USA needs to save them from nazi Denmark. Grab it quick, before Russia does its usual scheme.

Closeted gays trying to impress other dudes, idk?

It’s like those huge bodybuilders: you’re picturing being surrounded by chicks, while realistically it’s other buff dudes miring your physique.


> Then you buy a new sensor and put it in, just like you would any other failed part.

In the middle of nowhere?


Until the sensor itself has a microcontroller and does a cryptographic handshake with the other side before it's allowed to work, for "security" reasons obviously.

If you're driving to the middle of nowhere you carry spares and tools.

Source: live in Scotland, frequently drive to the middle of nowhere in a Range Rover.


Haha, how far is the middle of nowhere from the nearest town in Scotland? A few dozen kilometres?

The Scottish highlands have a population density comparable to the Mountain West. As someone who grew up in the mountain west, the highlands have a very similar feel.

Several hundred miles, depending where you go.

From where I grew up, it's a four-hour drive to the nearest supermarket.

If you're in the US, you're probably not used to driving long distances on roads that aren't basically perfectly straight and four times the width of your car. You wouldn't enjoy driving here.


I'm not in the US.

I spent some time on Google Maps, and the furthest spot I managed to find from a town was about 35km. Note that I didn't say anything about supermarkets - this is a thread about car reliability, so the context is how far you can be from a town where it's reasonable to expect that someone can help you with your car.


Yeah, but how do poor VCs make money then?

Definitely not with a car sold for relatively cheap that has a engine who refuses to die...

You think VCs fund the world's largest auto makers?

Don’t forget that majority of the commenters on this platform live in a country that views suffering in pain from incurable disease as a “god intended way” (and a horse dose of morphine). Take it with a grain of salt.

Setting aside that you're factually incorrect, this sort of negative stereotyping of others based on their nationality (or ethnicity, or race) is inappropriate, especially on this forum. We don't need more bigotry here.

> Dystopian and frankly, gross. Its amazing to me that so many people are willing to give up control over their lives and in this case, their bodies, for the smallest inkling of ease.

You have to be extremely privileged to say something like this.

a) nobody is giving up control of their lives

b) get off your high horse, son


Natural selection at work. I don’t see anything suspicious here.

> The first 5 minutes of the agenda is reserved for quorum

> Starts meeting after 5 minutes

"Uhm, shall we wait for Jeff?"


If you don’t have quorum the meeting is rescheduled.

“Jeff you didn’t show up to the meeting. What happened?”

Jeff is eventually put on a PIP or fired for not showing up to meetings without notice.
