  1. So it's a subscription but they call it a license

  2. The bosses didn't get that many perks. They had tons of power over people's lives, not money. In fact, that's the main reason senior officials defected, with one Soviet shrink defecting just so he could spend his life gambling on wall street

  3. Word salad

  4. @bottle3124  come on, he is believed to be insane, the question is why he wasn't put in a psych ward

  5. When I read that as a kid that they made the giant gun by pouring tons of molten steel into a hole I wondered why nothing was built with that method. Now that I know science I say that a cast that big would have thousands of cracks of all shapes and sizes and even if it didn't cast iron as a material wouldn't survive the blast as it would be stripped from the walls in what rocket scientists call "engine rich exhaust."

  6. You would need some sort of brink or mortar laying machine for that, but the Soviets also double counted revenue as much as wall street does

  7. Not exactly. Oxidizers can explosively decompose and they can ignite things that aren't otherwise flammable like solid steel

  8. Most of these incidents were due to their being nothing to buy with the money, not too mach money

  10. @someguy78868  you think deadbeats care to learn stuff?

  11. Soviet citizens knew nothing of debt. In fact, that was a major problem during Perestroika as there were no bankers and they had to import wall street guys

  12.  @Mortablunt  The consumers certainly found other ways to take risks, though.

  14. The different coin sizes are a leftover from the days when their value was pegged to the metal and there was no fixed conversion ratio between coins. This wasn't much an issue since people bartered as often as they used money, with a stick of dried eels being common in medieval England

  15. That's silly

  16. There was one built that harassed London for a while. It only fired a handful of times.

  17. If they were going to do that they wouldn't have blown up a village, they would have launched an unrelated payload and said the rocket fell back to Earth from space.

  20. It's not even a big city thing, but a crowded city thing.

  21. Get real. You need specialized certifications for this and they are well paid for their troubles. Most rig workers are "floormen" moving gear around, monitoring guages, and working construction equipment

  26. Yes, that's mandatory. Secret files are subject to review after 25 years, although blanket declassification are common if politicians sign off on it.

  27. How long did it take her to spend all the money and return to the waffle house?

  28. That "rib of a dragon" was probably a whale or dinosaur bone

  29. But people who had the bills continued to dump them immediately at worse and worse prices

  30. I wonder how many people lost their jobs because the bidge was out

  31. Dude, they were making rocket fuel during a time when no one knew how to handle rocket fuel

  33. Lose the nonsense. It was the early days of the Cold War before ICBM when nuclear readiness meant bombers with live nukes patrolling the arctic.

  34. Where kids entertain delusions it has real world skills applications

  35. No we don't. It was someone with the means, motive, and competency to do it, so it was probably Mossad. That doesn't rule out anyone else, and also he was an asshole so it may have even been unrelated to work.
    1
  36. The bills were simply dumped immediately in favor of German Marks. Likewise for Hungary, people bartered

  37. There was another Hind the CIA used to infiltrate Afghanistan in 2001. No one knows where they got it but its callsign was 9/11

  38. Found the drunk driver

  39. Except most ninja weapons didn't exist. The ninja stars, for instance, were weapons of harassment, not even lethal. The ninja swords is simply a personal short sword common in pre-modern Japan, like a pistol. All the other "ninja weapons" are simply novelty concealed weapons that have nothing to do with Japan.

  46. @DrYeet2704  they literally aren't

  47. They say junk like that as code for "I don't care." The truth is they lie about their population figures as much as their GDP numbers and preventable accidents are the leading causes of death to include poisoned drinking water, fake food, fake fertilizer, reckless driving, rail accidents, plane accidents, and work accidents. They use bamboo for tall scaffolding when civilized countries have steel pipes for that. Most of their cigarettes fail any quality standards including tests for poop and they smoke a lot of cheap cigarettes.

  48. I think they were smugglers tricked into ingesting poison.

  49. We aren't dumb. No one that don't need to be inside the blast radius is outside that area. Most bomb makers have the control room and the machines in completely different bunkers

  50. It literally isn't

  51. Never heard of these guys. My family always went to Worlds of Fun not far away
    1
  52. Correction: We simply don't know about all the Long March failures simply because they're only published when they become impossible to hide. In this case you see the exact death toll is also unknown as it was deliberately obfuscated.

  53. Guys, they probably mis-credited a lot of unrelated incidents to a single animal

  54. It's called buffoonery

  55. The funny thing is I'm a historian and really could have answered that impossible question

  56. No one cares

  57. That's literally where this comes from. Tofu Dreg Construction. It's this same process, only the end result is counterfeit buildings with concrete diluted with glass bottles, bridges that tip over because they were placed on supports not bolted down, inch thick steel that can be broken by hand, concrete diluted with ash, "completed" homes with no utilities installed, and so on and so forth. It get hilarious until you realize that where people actually live.

  58. @xenn4985  it's not even true in Cali. I know there's a lot of small Mexican building contractors around, but they're usually competent because they make up for the lack of equipment with long hours and many years service

  59. Strange constitution, given Karl Marx himself refused to work or even to bathe.

  60. The primary health risks are more mundane like equipment falling over and crude oil on skin.

  61. ​@alienblade2005 that's significantly greater than the average HOUSEHOLD income in the regions these guys cone from

  64. Correction on helium: It's a mining byproduct and we wwill run out regardless if it is used

  65. That is not funny

  66. There was one incident where a fugutive Facebook messaged the police saying the mug shot from a prior arrest was a bad shot of him and a posed photo of himself in dapper clothes was better. The police, of course, just made the post go viral with hilarity and everyone knew his face. This particular fugitive gave no f***s and even called in to a radio station that was talking about him and told them he was hiding in a bunker with El Chapo

  67. It sounds like they ran into each other by accident but the Navy is trying to cover up an honest mistake.

  68. @The_redcoats  Yes, but the BLM crowd is counting on it

  69.  @SalSanchez-h6j  As if the captain wasn't caught in one lie. Come on, they had reason to board them, the captain simply lied so he wouldn't be fired for losing the ship stupidly

  70. @TheNightlessFall  Japan definitely had a navy

  74. Strange you see a lot of the same behaviors here you see in America's venture capitalism, including cover ups when real production values do not match reality.

  75. Yes, because obliterated means catastrophic stripping away of material, not an explosion

  79. Kansas is farm country. They don't have regulators. Even where there are rules it is simple entry requirement licensing that can be revoked by judges

  80. Choosing profits over safety would require them to have any idea what they were doing.

  81. US conviction rates are screwed by the discovery process.
    1
  82. @armorpro573  China has no discovery process. Trials last 30 minutes on average and prosecutor doesn't have to disclose evidence

  84. The crazy part is Churchill really was an alcoholic, but the portrait makes him look vaguely threatening.

  85. It shouldn't surprise you that hired hitmen often are scammers. One case I heard in Mexico where a man hired some hardened criminals to kill his ex-wife, but these gangsters simply took his money then warned the ex of the plot.

  86. ​@JohnDoe-cz5yz it's like the Olympics and female soldiers. We all secretly know it's fake, we just think someone else might believe it.

  87.  @ec8107  Serial liar detected

  88. Maybe it wasn't all that different, then.

  91. As Scott Manley said "At deep sea pressures humans cease to act like biology and start to act as physics"

  92. Not really. It means if a problem is reported the inspectors will come not the other way around

  93. Get a job, Qxir

  94. Shut up

  95. Sounds like the sport of working was just as fake as the Olympics

  96. Not just the organs, but the meat and bone too.

  97. Shock includes heart attack from sudden blood loss
    1
  98. You will notice that most weapons banned are the ones that are glamorized in movies and/or have cool sounding names like the "street sweeper" shotgun that was really just a general purpose police/home/hunting weapon that was arbitrarily classed as an "assault weapon"
