It's been awhile but his early work was all about how entitled privileged people annoy him and it seemed like his more recent work was all about how little people annoyed his entitled privileged self.
Acording to (my recollection of) his argument in The World Crisis (which of course might be exculpatory bullshit) by the time of The Dardanelles he'd decided the ships he planned to send were useless in modern naval warfare, but could still blow up a lot of things on the land.
Maybe it's post-facto lies. But it's a plausible scheme, it very well might have accomplished its tactical mission (if not its political aim) if only several thousand sailors had agreed to commit mass suicide in the service of what would have been pretty much an unprecedented scale of war crime.
With a special bonus:
5) they're too cheap or too dumb to buy the same model of shoe in the correct size and then wear it.
The article says:
1) he's not guessing the sizes, he's asking them their sizes
2) there's no indication he's ordering anything other than the size they tell him
3) he likes to bully anyone with a small shoe size, imply they're not manly enough
4) the implicaion is they inflate when telling him
I don't even remember there being a serious ground component at all in the original version, that happened after the intended naval adventure stalled.
It's been decades but my recollection of reading The World Crisis was that Churchill saw it as a checkmate. Sure, he didn't really care about logistics, but even he had to realize he wasn't taking control of the entire Bosporus, he was just going to blow the shit out of Istanbul.
I had no idea NYU Marketing Professor Scott Galloway was now a "masculinity influencer"
Also Vindman was in the news for trying to do the right thing which Le really really wasn't.
Yeah, I'm not sure there's any convincing documentary proof Jesus existed or was important but also random charismatic religious leaders have always been a thing. David Koresh saying he was Jesus was probably either psychosis or fraud, but in another sense he pretty much was, same thing really.
It's not even an excuse for them personally, they are obliged to quit if they aren't being permitted to practice law ethically.
(this is slightly different for seconded JAGs, who aren't allowed to quit, but also seconding JAGs might have Posse Comitatus problems).
Around the table, not on it?
I have no problem with the Gardener's historiography, it's their vision of politics that sucks. A political movement that rejects sincere allies because of their expressions of religious faith is not a viable proposition in the US.
If you read the thread, the judge heavily implies the "I was overwhelmed and used AI to cut corners with sincere intent" is a lie, the concocted and inaccurate quotes misrepresent the law in ways that are consistently favorable to his arguments, and the judge implies there's intent there.
It's worse than that: Trump didn't guess their sizes, he asked them their sizes, and they told him an artificually inflated number because they didn't want him to think they had small feet; he has told them he thinks men with small feet are deficient.
It's not a quote, because it's not remotely verbatim, but I always liked his Hitchhiker's Guide explanation that the universe was too weird to understand because every time someone successfully understood the universe, the universe was immediately demolished and replaced with a weirder version.
His mideast politics was also complete dogshit, total Christian brain bullshit; remember when he his universe established a stable peace in Jerusalem because of course everyone would trust the Vatican's mercenary army, who would in turn behave impeccably?
The mission didn't really require forcing the strait open in any meaningful lasting way, it just required that one or two of the ships make it to Istanbul (with no hope of returning).
I always liked another interpretation of The Dardanelles: Churchill sent a handful of useless obsolete battleships on a suicide mission to bombard the civilians of Istanbul, it might have worked except that Navy and the crews hadn't agreed to a suicide mission and noped out after two ships sank.
No, I understand what the correct answer is, I'm just impressed that when they got it wrong they weren't substituting a commonplace similar name they used to see in their television listings all the time but rather they invented a name they've probably never actually encountered.
The best part is that Frasier is a common name but I don't think Fraisier is?
This sort-of works, if you use the "resize" button in the upper right.
How does this schmuck think SNAP works?
Did he even say "please"?
No-one is saying Clinton must be protected, least of all on this site.
But for whatever little it's worth, he was dragged before the House and testified under oath.
This is of course nonsense. Even if there weren't footage, and even if the double-tap didn't make it obvious this wasn't some misfiring Iranian missile accidentally crashing down there, it's in their target lists. They knew what happened a minute after anyone asked. That was the whole investigation.
Yup.
Also invented at roughly the same time: antiseptic technique. Roughly 10% of mothers died in childbirth before it was developed. Possibly even better than smack.
Obviously I hope for great things but brilliant people worked very hard and developed drugs that could break up Alzheimer's placques 20 years ago and huge disappointment: the drugs made disease progression worse.
Placques get worse as disease progresses but that seems to be an effect, not a cause.
If one of those doctors decides their Hippocratic oath has a zeroth law of robotics equivalent in it ...
