Fires aboard ships are horrific because if things aren’t ventilated the smoke becomes so thick you’d swear it was liquid. The moment you ventilate you can create a rocket furnace that is determined to spread and is hot enough to melt the hull.

These aircraft do not have ejection or parachutes.

Some of you may die, but that is a risk I’m willing to take.

Even in the Falklands War the British didn’t have enough time for proper minesweeping so they just ordered one of the escorts to go back and forth a few times to see if they explode before the troop ships arrived.

Don’t be too hard on the anarchists.

All of the problems anarchists are trying to solve are problems that communists will need to address over time as the state withers away.

A socialist state should be filled with experimental anarchist communes that are trying to solve the next puzzle by living it.

US putting gulf state desalination plants on the menu.

Forbidden soup.

Given that they need planning permission from Scottish Water? Sewer.

Good luck to Iran. I hope they can establish deterrence this time.

You’re asking a man who involuntarily says the most taboo thing in any given situation to annihilate his self worth on the daily by constantly having to apologise for his existence.

No one should be asked to do that. I’m sorry that his existence makes you uneasy.

I don’t get the point of your post other than ableism? If John Davidson had to apologise for every tic he just wouldn’t be able to function as a person. No one should have to apologise for existing.

His tic is saying the most inappropriate thing to anyone in any situation. I’m not sure how he’s supposed to function mentally if he has to apologise to people endlessly.

It’s my turn to be a bigoted boomer and I chose to be robophobic.

How long until the Gerald R Ford arrives? I’m assuming that will constitute the maximum force they can concentrate in terms of SEAD.

Using existing laws, the UK could declare the IDF a terrorist organisation and strip citizenship from those who were conscripted.

“But it’s a military-” so? We just declared the Iranian military a terrorist organisation.

He was in office for days and had nothing to do, really, with Mandelson being picked. This is purely because he has been dragging his feet on the governments plan to fire 30% of the heavily unionised civil service.

Palestinian Action can’t stop winning.

I’ve seen plenty of DV perpetrated by either gender, so I’ve actually never really considered it much of a gendered issue to be honest - except for how society’s patriarchal leanings change it’s expression.

I’ve heard of that before. It’s quite funny to me because I grew up surrounded by a lot of extremely academic Catholics for whom every new detail about biology, physics, and mathematics became an affirmation of the wonders of creation.
