Thousands of moving parts on an air vehicle that doesn’t have any glide capacity, being flown by a pilot that’s significantly younger than the airframe… What could possibly go wrong? I guess at least it’s not an osprey?

Helicopters naturally understand that army personnel belong on the ground, and their natural instinct is to get them there in the fastest possible way.

If I were dumb enough to be a marine or a ranger, I’d definitely be thinking of creative ways to get a medical discharge right about now. Better to be suckling at the teat of the Va and disability than either dying on a beach or die while riding a helicopter crashing into another helicopter.

I guess it can be a bit confusing considering Israel is basically a vassal state of the US, but at times it can be hard to tell who is the tiger and whose is holding it by the tail.

For sure, it’s not like America has a long history of fucking up amphibious landings or helicopter based airborne operations. Grenada had like 1500 dudes armed with sks defending it and they only lost like 10 helicopters. Surely it won’t be worse than that…right?

I mean… Israeli colonial interests and American imperialist interest are kinda the same thing.

Yeah, a lot of wood and coal fires for heating and cooling. Probably wouldn’t be as much of an issue, but the city is nestled in a big valley that blocks the city from the wind so the smog doesn’t really have anywhere to dissipate.

Tbf, I’m sure it’s probably the hardest they’ve ever worked in their entire life.

I’m pretty sure that with a little luck and 500m of inherited capital, i too could bankrupt a casino.

The only way you lived in North Korea and South Korea is if you defected, in which case you wouldn’t have also gone to China and Mongolia. My guess is that you’re just a racist European.

It’s when the milk is homogenized, after the cream is separated that the fat chains are shattered and the gut absorbs the fats, instead of passing them through. You won’t get the shits from whole raw milk and as you get older and you can consume cream and butter and it doesn’t cause digestive problems.

I think this is an old misunderstanding about homogenized milk. The fat chains aren’t “shattered”, the globules of fat are just dispersed into smaller droplets that become surrounded by casein so they don’t reform.

This leads to faster and easier digestion because you have increased the surface area of the fats and the proteins from the solids. Now that doesn’t mean the fats in unhomogenized milk arent digested, it just takes longer. If the fats from unhomogenized milk would "pass through without eventually being absorbed, then things like butter wouldn’t be as bad for you as it is.

The rest of it, that cooking depletes nutrient quality, it’s baloney. It’s the homogenization that causes more degradation of the milk quality than anything.

Again, this is a long debated but incorrect understanding of homogenized milk. Homogenization is a simple mechanical process that does not diminish the nutritional value of milk. What it does do is speed up the digestion of milk, which may be why you felt fuller for longer when drinking unhomogenized milk when you were younger. It’s actually easier and quicker to digest, and the smaller fat particles actually make it easier for vitamin d to attach to it. The homogenization process also makes the proteins form softer curds in the stomach making it easier to digest.

1950’s “skim milk” was considered unfit for human consumption because it had been stripped of most of the milkfats and solids. (which, honestly, the solids are gross to those who’ve not encountered them…)

Skim milk isn’t created through the homogenization process, it’s done through a separate process called centrifugal separation.

I spent some time on my uncle’s dairy farm up in ohio. A lot of what you are talking about was a pretty common understanding from some of the old hands about homogenization when I was younger.

Who could have known that a person born into a rich and powerful family couldn’t handle a 9-5 job? It’s almost like the stories you hear from every rich person about working from sun up to sunset is a lie told to placate the working poor…

A person lying on the internet…who could have foreseen this?

I’ve been to most of these countries, they are all very nice. But like with anywhere it kinda depends on when and where you are, and you typically won’t get a real sense of the place unless you have a lot of time to travel.

The country side of Mongolia is beautiful in the warm season, I hear it’s pretty barren and freezing when it’s cold. About 50% of the population lives in Ulaanbaatar and it has a pretty bad issue with air pollution. It was very smoggy when I visited, and I hear it gets a lot worse in the winter season when it regularly has some of the worst air pollution in the world.

It will prob still require a distal radial amputation just to aid in prosthetic fittings. Those carpal bones don’t really do anything for ya but create osteoarthritis if you’re missing the rest of the hand.

At this level of trauma the orthopedist isnt going to get that specific. It’s just going to be a trans carpal traumatic amputation of the left icd-10 S68.412 (Complete) and a traumatic trans metacarpal amputation of the right icd-10 S68.711.

More than likely both will end up being a distal transradial amputations.

Yep, her “journalism” career started when she participated in an “activism” campaign at her college attempting to get arab and anti Zionist professors fired.

being economically weaker than the union was a significant factor in the civil war.

They were economically weaker because they were a one trick pony. Slaves producing cash crops was extremely effective at creating a vast amount of wealth for plantation owners, which is why they didn’t diversify their economy at all. This meant they didn’t have a manufacturing capacity anywhere near the north, but per capita had a lot more ultra wealthy individuals.

It just wasn’t an economy that was suited for war unless they could purchase outside aid. Which is why Lincoln went so hard in the paint and declaring anyone country who materially aided the south would instantly be at war with the Union.

Sure it was, what makes you think otherwise?

Modern slavery still exists…

Slaves are inefficient. Actual workers generate more money for their boss.

I think you’d have to be specific about the type of slavery and the type of work they are doing.

Chattel slavery of the American South was inefficient because they didn’t modernize their agricultural process, and the Trans Atlantic slave routes were not functioning as they used too. Making it so that plantation owners had to set a new infrastructure to support and maintain their slave population.

However other forms of slavery have been and currently are still highly profitable.

There is a reason slavery is so small today compared to 200 years ago despite the much higher wages.

An estimated 50 million people are currently enslaved, in 1820 there was an estimated 40 million people enslaved.

I mean it’s pretty simple… The owner is capitalizing on the production value of the workers.

Yeah, the sad thing is that they only ended up holding less than 20 mostly mid level officers responsible, and they were primarily allowed to retire.

Last I heard the highest person to get in trouble was some rear admiral, and he was actually charged like last year by the feds after the navy let him retire.

So I expect nothing actually changed considering that hundreds of officers were thought to have participated. I can only imagine what kinda shady deals they are doing now that the Fed is run by openly corrupt stooges.
