They would be better off encouraging them to stay, rather than punishing them if they had enough and leave. That just adds another thing to the negative column when deciding to open a store there.
My main worry is that the other bills will be pushed forward while the Ukraine one is held up. I’m failing to see why these would be de-bundled when the Senate bill has been sitting right there for months.
I need to go play Black Mesa again. Was a VERY solid re-release to Half-Life. The last level was completely re-done, which was a very good upgrade over the original.
Yep. When you spend your sovereign wealth fund on massive quantities of military hardware, your GDP goes up. The negative is that you quickly drain your sovereign wealth fund and you aren’t investing in the future of your country. This money could have gone to getting the last 20% of Russians indoor plumbing, but it instead went to refurbishing tanks to get blown up in Ukraine.
For more context, while the US was destroying half the Iranian fleet, a Soviet warship just rolls into the combat area, and when asked what their intentions are, the Soviet warship responds: ‘I want to take pictures for history’
Part of the goal of IRL war games is to give the troops themselves experience. You don’t get much training in if you only run one situation or if all your situations fail to use a troop type.
In the situation you are talking about, things were learned from the first scenario. Then they ran the scenario again under different conditions to learn more things and train troops more.
Ryan McBeth responded to this exact thing. The short version of his answer was that the first run through showed the red team won. That information was written down and learned. With the main lessons now learned, the wargame was restarted under different conditions to allow the other troops to train who weren’t used in the first run. A bridging team that just ‘dies’ in the wargame doesn’t get to hone their valuable skills in the most realistic situation they will ever be in short of people actually getting shot. So, you want subsequent runs to include the bridging team, and all the other teams that were not used in the first run.
Restarting wargames under different situations and with different restrictions is expected and normal.
told them they couldn’t shoot down planes during a particular attack
Correct. This allows those pilots to get experience doing what they were trained to do. Those individual pilots don’t learn shit if they were told they ‘died’ and immediately return to base and sit on their ass the entire exercise. You need a followup run where they get to do their thing.
I’m just waiting to see what the poison pill is. Johnson didn’t stall Ukraine aid for months just to put a clean bill forward. If he wanted a clean bill, he would have put the Senate’s bill up for vote months ago.
The European Union has bledged billion of dollars to embrace the idea of a “blue economy” to protect the world’s oceans from damage caused by human activity....
Yeah, this isn’t a new development. The vast majority of the country is awful with money. Hell, there is a reason there is the meme of the lottery winner being broke just a few years after winning big, and it isn’t because they paid off their debt, invested in reliable sources, and continued to live similarish to how they were before.
the network lost its way when it started telling listeners how to think
Yep. Simply reporting facts and the news fell by the wayside to opinion pieces disguised as news articles, light on facts heavy on opinion. People don’t like being told what to do think.
Of course not. They are merely leaning on the science and the science is saying things like:
“Puberty blockers do have side effects”
“We don’t have strong evidence that puberty blockers are merely a pause button, or that their benefits outweigh their downsides, or that they are lifesaving care in the sense that they prevent suicides.”, and
“The evidence base for widely used treatments is ‘shaky’”
Everyone says listen to the science, well, here is the science.
As long as you listen to the science and stop referring to puberty blockers as necessary life saving treatment that merely pauses puberty, you can advocate for what you want. Again, just quoting the science: “We don’t have strong evidence that puberty blockers are merely a pause button, or that their benefits outweigh their downsides”
A discussion on if the benefits outweigh the downsides is no longer verboten.
It’s amazing Microsoft has mismanaged their OS so badly that even gaming increasingly makes little sense on the platform. Why spend extra money on hardware just to have your performance stripped away by a bloated Windows?
All Mike Johnson has to do is schedule an up or down vote on the Ukraine Aid bill that the Senate approved months ago. That’s it. He has failed to do even that.
Given both Republicans and Democrats overwhelmingly voted for the Ukraine aid bill in the Senate, it will sail past an easy majority vote in the House. All Mike Johnson has to do is schedule a vote, a thing he has been stalling for months while Ukrainians die, Russians make advances, and America’s allies are forced to confront the reality of an unreliable American partnership.
