The P90/G36 if it's sci-fi from the '90s (thanks Stargate).

PA only has state-run liquor stores and I think the only complaint about them I hear is that a lot of them aren't open on Sundays.

Part of it is that half of Gen Z are still teenagers and thus won't have well formed political opinions anyway.

I think the only way to bookend 2016 primary is with another presidential primary. This is an important step since it shows that a liberal-left alliance can work but it was ultimately still a mayoral race.

Like the fact it's a banana magazine rather than a straight one is the only redeeming quality here. At least it's slightly different.

Do you think these people realized that by sucking up for exclusive access to the worst people ever they burn their credibility with other politicians if and when those people fail?

This is related to two but, also believe that Israel is somehow the responsibility of an American Mayor.

The voters of course don't want Mamdani, which is why he is neck and neck with Cuomo, whom the voters, of course, love unconditionally.

The heir apparent is a race car driver which I think is both hilarious and the most notable thing a Habsburg has done since the death of the Empire.

I'm still mad that Franchetti was sacked because she was a woman. Still absolutely insane that the people at the top are such knuckle-dragging apes.

Ruined the empire so bad that the western half fell two centuries later.

In the year 1,000 AD the Eastern Empire was going though a golden age under Basil II, a thousand years earlier and Augustus had finished defeating his rivals and was ensuring the Empire lasted after his death.
Another thousand years earlier and Rome as a single city wasn't even a concept.

He still failed in 2020, the ability for the centrists and moderates to rally while Bernie failed to get the progressives to coalesce around is an indictment of his and his coalition's political skills.

That's his formal authority, but he also has a lot of informal power as a close ally to both Palpatine and Vader. Ardus Kaine succeed him as Grand Moff of Oversector Outer but never commanded the same authority as Tarkin did (this is Legends).

Which probably one of the reasons things went to shit after he died. There was no top level administrator, at least one with the power to actually coordinate all the Moffs to work together. As shit as Tarkin was, he could at least get everyone pulling the same direction.

Tbh I see it as the other way around. Vader is doing a lot of the work of keeping the Empire together though military force while the Emperor is in his wizard's tower torturing a barista from 50 years ago who misspelt his name as Pulputine

My favorite bit is the lightspeed motorcycle couriers. Like dude, why wouldn’t they force a reset if you were using something so clearly impossible.

I like how the active duty marines are less geared up than the ICE agent arresting a landscaper.

They won that war didn't they?

I think 1,000 years (New Sith Wars to the Phantom Menace) is a pretty good run all things considered. I’d argue that the collective of a millennia of governance simply caused a crisis and the Sith had spent centuries ensuring they were in the right place and the right time to take advantage of it

Vader doesn't tolerate military competence if it inconveniences him tbh.

"I only saw Americans fighting" Damn dude, it's like you were in the American Army or something.

This is like treating the German-Soviet War as it's own war because it was mostly only Soviets dying on the eastern front.

What a change of pace, on spitter you usually have to argue with the guys saying there is going to a million people on Mars by 2050 or something.

Which has been a trend since the 1800s as the firepower of individual soldiers and units increased and communications have allowed more dispersed formations. Drones are a new threat but frontline infantry has always been a dangerous profession.

Where'd Pacific Crucible go, you've got the other two books of the Pacific War Trilogy.

Mamdani, the people demand to know how you will deal the oppression of the Catalans by the arrogant Castilian government of Madrid

That's what all the cool operators in Afghanistan and Iraq wore and these people are incapable of having an original thought

I hope they fuck up the renaming ceremony and Hegseth is personally cursed by Neptune himself for it.

I'm still not over the fact he sees his job as keeping the Democrats pro-Israel. Like, you are the top senator for one of two main political parties in the strongest nation in the world and you think your job is to go to bat for a regional power committing war crimes against it's neighbors?

Also the farewell address warning of the military-industrial complex, that's brought up a decent amount.

Which also as the same issue where Fuchida's 1950s account of the battle established a lot of the myths of the battle that were later proven untrue by the actual records of the battle (Fateful 5 minutes is the big one here).

I think you misread the post. It's 50 years older, not 50 years old. Steny Hoyer is 85 years old and his challenger, Harry Jarin, is 35.

Worse considering that because kinetic energy increases exponentially when increasing by velocity. So a 20 mile per hour increase from 60 to 80 represents a 75% increase in kinetic energy. So uh, if you hit something it's going to a lot worse.

Wrong battle, here the Imperials only lost two Interdictor cruisers, which sure is an expensive loss and let the rest of the rebel fleet eventually escape. But nevertheless it was not a materially equal trade. And if anything losing Konstantine, the only flag officer killed, helped the Empire.

That's not what's he saying. If you are a civil servant in Gaza then you work for the government, which is run by Hamas. Hence the statement that ambulance drivers, or any medical personal working for what's left of the civil authority of Gaza, are employed by Hamas (which runs the Gaza government).

Sometimes you just need to delete a grid square and you don't need to multi-million dollar PGMs to that.

Well no, Jaina and Jacen were from those books. Anakin comes in during Dark Empire I think?

I am getting word now that the Pope is Catholic, this is a shocking turn of events and a hard blow to all atheists hoping for one of their own to lead the 2,000 year old church.
