Truly a cutting-edge idea.
"Well of course I know him. He's me."
Depends. Do I need to win or is a draw an acceptable outcome? If it's the latter, the blue whale. What's it gonna do, beach itself?
Explain how it was a convenient excuse?
Roosevelt wanted to get involved but had no way to get the public to go along with it. The Japanese helped him out.
if the US could have used nuclear weapons right after the attack to prevent entering the war, regardless of their transportation method, they would’ve
And how exactly do you imagine the US could've used such weapons against Japan without transporting them to Japan?
The entire reason why the US entered the war was because of the attack.
No, that was a convenient excuse. Roosevelt must've thought Christmas had come early when he got the news.
Do you think if they did, they would’ve used them immediately to force a quick surrender instead of dragging out the war for years causing millions of deaths?
No, because B-29s didn't exist yet either, and they couldn't take off from aircraft carriers in any case. The US would've had to conquer its way across the Pacific to get within bomber range either way.
Wow, that's extremely generous! Can I have Vane, please? I love games where you play a bird.
I haven't done any actual math in this respect, but I suspect this meme is still missing quite a lot of 9s after the decimal point.
If the vast majority of the universe is inhospitable, doesn’t that make it more miraculous and unexplainable that earth is?
No, because the Earth being habitable doesn't violate any laws of physics. It's just rare.
I get that, but who would want to buy a company that's never been profitable? It smacks of a scam. "Hey, bro! Buy my company! It never managed to make any money for me, but it'll be highly profitable for you!" Sounds like the company founder is looking to pull a fast one and laugh all the way to the bank while their investor is left holding the bag.
The only way I can see this working is if the idea is to build a large user base by offering a good user experience, i.e. not monetizing the platform very much, just enough so that it barely pays for its own operating costs. Then you sell that user base to someone else for the express purpose of shoving tons of ads down everyone's throat. In that case it's still a fast one, only in this scenario the users are the victims. But even then I'm skeptical. If that's the plan, why sell the company instead of enshittifying your platform yourself?
Right? How the hell is a company that has never managed to turn a profit worth more than $0?
The simple answer is that the "you have to be good" Christians are not the same people as the "Jesus forgives no matter what" Christians. Beliefs and doctrines vary wildly throughout Christianity, and different Christians often believe contradictory things. This isn't helped by the fact that the Bible itself, being a collection of many books by many authors, contains contradictory viewpoints. This allows believers to focus on the elements they like and ignore the ones they don't.

They don't, though. I don't think I've ever had a USB port wear out from use on any peripheral with a removable cable, so if Apple is facing those kinds of issues, it's not because of stupid users, it's because Apple cheaped out on the build quality of the USB port.
As for Bentley versus Honda reliability, Honda's warranty claim rate is apparently about 2%. I can't find actual warranty claim statistics for Bentley specifically, only for VW as a whole, but according to this, 93% of Bentley owners have to take their car in for unscheduled repairs every year. Which is pretty insane. So yeah. Luxury brands are expensive because their primary purpose is to show off wealth, not because they're any better than mass-produced consumer stuff. Often quite the opposite. Who knew.
