It's sort of one-time-use though. Now that it's been used, the gulf states are building pipelines to bypass the gulf and vulnerable countries are taking the opportunity to decarbonize. If the straight opened tomorrow, these countries would continue those efforts to reduce their strategic vulnerability. It won't be as strong of a deterrent the second time around.
Also, a nuke is supposed to deter aggression. It didn't do that.
the blow back led to laws that are still on the book today.
Effectively, those laws were already in place. If the first time a tactic is used against powerful people, it is outlawed, it was never actually allowed. The laws getting passed at least shows people how the law is being used to benefit the rich and powerful. The previous unspoken rule gave the people in power plausible deniability. I'm not some huge fan of Just Stop Oil but the edges of the laws should always be probed by activists, imo.
Luckily the first gen Audi TT managed to avoid it. I had one that I bought for cheap and all my coworkers though it was much newer and more expensive.
I learned to drive stick in an e30 BMW. I have a real soft spot for boxy 80s cars.
I use a pencil case.
I keep a mini pump in my bag or mounted to a bottle cage boss. I also have a u-lock and cable in my bag whenever I go out.
It's the motor and mechanism assembly the makes a car window go up and down
I have an accountant friend that mentioned he was thinking about getting a rental property one day. I told him I thought that was immoral and his response was that he would charge below market rate. This implies that market rate is the neutral point in his moral system. Above that line is immoral and below it is moral. But market rate is the max that you can possibly charge by definition. If you charged above market rate and got a tenant, that's just the market rate now. It's impossible for him to be immoral in his system. All the while, he's setting himself up to build his wealth off of someone with less money than himself and increasingly benefitting off of a housing crisis.
What a terrible comment
No. There are many types of missions a drone can't currently do.
To devolve into their tactics is to give them ammunition to fuel the brainwashed.
I agree with this message but not your reasoning. Fascists don't care about what is true. If we only speak objectively, make rational arguments, emphasize logical consistency, stick to our principles, etc, they'll just lie and take things wildly out of context to feed to their base. They don't need us to feed them ammunition.
However, we should still do these things for our own sake. If we fight their misinformation with our own, we erase any hope objective truth and shared reality have of coming back. A lot of Trump voters and supporters don't support every aspect of modern fascism. If the Epstein files or Iran war gets some of them to realize they've been lied to, they might look around to other ideologies. We need to represent the values of transparency and truth that the MAGA movement pretends to uphold. If manipulation and deception eventually defeats fascism, it would still be bad. The new normal and values of the new leadership would continue manipulating and deceiving people to the benefit of the rich.
Pictured is mainly the shoe unit and backing plate for a CNC internal grinding machine. The quill sans wheel is on the right. The single point dresser is mounted to the shoe unit. This is a picture taken before re-fitting this grinder to grind taper inner ring bores. This grinder wasn't meant for that so I took a picture for reference while we discussed what modifications were needed.
Fun fact: Women generally weren't allowed to get a bank account or credit card in their own name until 1974 in the USA. Before that, a man generally had to cosign. Even if she got a credit card, her wage would be significantly discounted when calculating a credit limit.
