  1. Prices in the US are this way because everyone was "holding their breath" trying to not raise prices due to the 2 years of coof. When the conflict started, everyone let out the belly out of their shirt in collective relief and said "Russia, dude".

  2. ​ @leoli8819  Not the point. A high pressure, high stress environment where one mostly learns how to take tests is terrible at producing well rounded individuals. When you hire a new graduate, the intent is that the previous generation will pass down the knowledge before they hit retirement age and it gets lost. The social skills, the ability to think outside the box, etc are just as valuable as tests, but kids don't "cram" for that.

  3. In Ukraine, Soledar means "salt gift" and Vuhledar "coal gift". Mining towns named after the product.

  5.  @tm3156  Russia beat them all easily? Is that why the Kiev offensive failed, the Kharkiv offensive failed, the massive encirclement failed, etc?

  6.  @obsidianstatue  You're just moving goalposts. The best Russia has to offer has already been defeated in combat, and you're acting as if it's all an unknown variable. Also funny how you claim "NATO fights inferior opponents" when I clearly mentioned an inferior vehicle (IFV) belonging to the "inferior" country (Ukraine) hitting a modern Russian tank from the side until it caught on fire.

  13.  @obsidianstatue  Bradley IFVs took out T-72s in Desert Storm tanks to TOW missiles. We've also seen the Ukrainian footage of an IFV autocannon setting a Russian tank on fire. Being in more wars doesn't mean the inanimate objects gained experience.

  15. ​ @ashleyhamman  The issue is that people lose a significant chunk of their youth getting a degree and a master's to get a high paying job so they can afford a house. All the people on low end jobs who have kids basically have to kiss their shot at prosperity goodbye. People talk about maternity leave and childcare while couples who want kids are worried about paying rent and diapers.

  20. Birth rates are dropping in poorer countries too. Terrible conditions create the high birth rates - not the other way around. Disease and need for labor to feed the family leads to more kids. Once the conditions improve kids can go to school instead of working, so parents have less kids.

  25.  @obsidianstatue  On paper space flight is "hypersonic". The issue is, the speed of sound decreases as you climb into thinner atmosphere, and essentially there's no speed of sound in space. The reason the US experimented with atmospheric hypersonics and didn't go further is because warheads coming down from space are """hypersonic""". However, having a human inside an atmospheric hypersonic craft that isn't meant to go to space is an amazing achievement for the 60s. I don't have a problem, the issue is the same old "bro China has AI bro they're gonna beat us with AI bro". Stop. AI isn't even AI. It's just a computer slamming against a wall until you give it a billion attempts to not do something stupid. That's not "artificial intelligence". It's like training an animal to perform tricks. You do realize that even the common heatseeking missile requires a special glass and cryogenic cooling due to the fact that the missile's forward velocity causes the overheating of the nose, right? It's perfectly reasonable to assume a hypersonic weapon may throttle back to supersonic for targeting data and also for last minute evasive maneuvers. The big deal with hypersonics is very short flight time between launch and arrival at the target zone. A missile that stays supersonic all the way would have to look through a much larger area to find the moving target. My comment was about you bringing up the T-72 combat record. It's not that great. Then you parroted the usual cope of saying NATO fights inferior enemies. Well, maybe they shouldn't have bought Russian gear and they wouldn't be inferior.

  28. It really isn't. Getting people to spend will require the private sector or the state to foot the bill, which is going to negate the gains.

  33. It absolutely is. And GDP would have grown with more home owners. The better off more people are, the more GDP grows. You think that somehow more people in poverty won't cause reduction in consumption and thus more layoffs and more poverty?

  38.  @obsidianstatue  At this point you have to be pretending. The US overreacted to every piece of Soviet equipment. You know damn well what phenomenon he was referring to. Hitting a moving target with a missile is kind of the bare minimum for a missile. That's kind of what they have to do. AI? That's a buzzword. Back in the day those were just called algorithms and bombs with the brain power of a TI-84 were able to identify targets since what, the 90s? Yes, tanks and missiles are different. We were scared of tanks. Bombers. Fighters. Everything under the sun. And we have consistently been scared of boogeymen that never materialized.

  39.  @obsidianstatue  The US flew manned hypersonic aircraft in the 1960s. Yes, AI is a buzzword when it does nothing existing algorithms weren't already doing decades ago. How does an infrared sensor see anything? At hypersonic speeds the heating of the vehicle will blind an IR sensor. I didn't steer the conversation. I described what the other posted said. It's you who's steering it into the opposite direction as you realized your mistake.

  47. ​ @tetraxis3011  That's a Wehraboo myth. The German tanks often broke down so quality wasn't that great. Either way, multiple wars have cemented the fact that quality curbstomps quantity. Often the "quantity" can't even see what hit it, precisely because it doesn't have the quality.
