“Let’s go to bed so these people can go home.”
There was no one standard pirate flag. Different pirates used different flags, often with similar themes (black, skull, etc). The idea was to be intimidating: it was cheaper and easier if your target gave up without a fight.
Their favorite letter is “arrrgh”.
Yeah, gotta be wary of those sinister people…
What happens when an Iranian drone or North Korean rocket is used to attack Ukraine?
How’d they get away with those keywords?
I’m all for countries vowing not to use nuclear weapons first, but what is the point of a treaty? If a country does use nuclear weapons first, I think other countries are going to be less concerned about breaking the treaty and more concerned about WW3 and Armageddon. And given that both the US and Russia have shown scant regard for treaties in recent years with major changes to policy, surely the treaty wouldn’t be worth the paper it’s printed on.
I believe “whipper snipper” is a West Island term.
Interesting word choices: “weedwacking” is American, but “petrol” is British. Is Kiwi speak a mix of the two plus the indigenous language?
Love to Jacinda!
Starlink is causing problems, but it seems to me that this image was made in bad faith to oversell the case. The caption says it’s a combination of 29 separate exposures, but if those exposures were combined properly, you wouldn’t see the satellites (median combination does wonders, and there are more sophisticated techniques which do even better). Some streaks start at one chip edge and extend to another chip edge, without continuity across the focal plane. So it’s not at all clear just how this image was created. And why on earth is it not flat-fielded? Maybe this is just really sloppy image processing, but even amateurs can do far better than this, leaving the final combination with no satellites at all.
We wish you good hunting.
And this assumes you have storage space, which not everyone has.
Making money and accumulating power. Duh.
The American churches have sold their soul for a mess of pottage.
Looks like OP is using a form of Hungarian notation in the post title…
You’re_very_welcome.
What’s the alternative? Fix it with a sharpie?
Not sure if “felling” is a typo or not, as it seems appropriate…
Nice try, George Santos!
