@EAFPW_Official@Commodore256@AndrewCFrancis The 1964-2005 live-action productions are the #StarTrek Original Universe. That's TOS, TNG, DS9, VOY, ENT, the TMP films through TUC, and the TNG films.
(Jeri Taylor also canonized her two VOY backstory novels. No one of higher rank ever disputed it, but many ignore them.)
@Tatarigami_UA Yeah but it’s so unfair to Russia that there’s more and more countries they can’t annex without triggering article 5
Where are they supposed to invade if everyone around them is in a mutual defense agreement? 😢
9/11 conspiraloon-level engineering and construction ignorance has both deadly consequences and less-deadly ones, like self-disproof of nonsense like "only demolition causes gravity collapse into the footprint".
🇰🇪 An 18-storey building under construction collapsed in Nairobi, Kenya
Numerous people, including construction workers and nearby pedestrians, are trapped under the rubble.
JUST IN: UK police arrest 15 y/o boy, seize his devices, & collect his DNA after he posted photo of a local politician edited to look like a rabbit.
'Peak VLS' probably happened in 2021 for the US Navy, when around 10,200 VLS cells were available across all Ticonderoga, Burke, and Zumwalt ships (~9400), plus Ohio and Virginia (~800) subs.
By 2027, it should fall to ~8650.
One of the most misinformed groups in the world has to be people who watch John Oliver religiously, this is one of the better forum posts on the phenomenon of the "comedic-news" segments
@RussForLiberty@MittRomney Ah, thank you for clarifying. In a world of propaganda swallowers who get confused as to who is friend and who is foe geopolitically, my knee may've jerked. :-)
@SomeBitchIIKnow Based on what little I know, it seems that the whole thing went to hell when the proto-Marxist Montagnards took over and removed the moderate Girondins, much as would later occur in Russia after the Czar.
The American Revolution didn't suffer from such a poison in the system.
Gotta love the spirit these little guys are showing. It could well be that they'll have happier, healthier lives if they let the giant monster scoop them up... but there's no reason why they should be expected to know that. The defiance is glorious.
@RavenGraceGtr Trump vigorously reminding everyone how wrong he is on Russia and Ukraine was an unforced error.
No matter which side of that you're on, it is unwise to suddenly and angrily push a view that is a debate even among your own voters.
