Yeah sure. But to think that Trump can alter International law by changing the US constitution is kinda silly.

That’s not how international law works, dipshit.

I think that was 2013 Proton M launch.

I tried looking up this video and at first AI kept adamantly demanding this is the proton m launch. But then a new convo and suddenly it agrees this is prolly 28 November ICBM test.

But yeah the 2013 proton m spiraled hard

Depends on where you’re from and what the regulations are, might have been just non-denatured high% vodka essentially. As so much was needed regulations weren’t the strictest everywhere.

Anyway, I’m not gonna believe you before I see you take a mouthful of 80% alc and swirl it around your mouth and smack smack smack mmm. Without making any sort of sour face.

Because if you do, then that’s actually medically concerning, because that’s a poison and we have systems in our bodies to make us not ingest poisons easily. As in, that’s why we can taste bitter. Alcohol isn’t bitter per se but it’s a volatile solvent, and at those percentages it’s just not in anything way a taste. It’s a sensation.

I may be wrong, but I don’t believe you. You also say you don’t "really drink, so I’m thinking a younger person who’s had a small hit and enjoyed the aftereffects and can’t now discern them.

When you talk about “ethanol for disinfection”, do you mean denatured alcohol? Because if so, I believe you even less.

Yeah I’m not gonna believe this before I see you drinking 80% alcohol without making a sour face.

Well it’s essentially just herbal opioids, so yeah, it will make you dependent then you can ease that dependence by getting even a harder dependence from like Oxy or fentanyl.

This is the actively ingredient in kratom: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitragynine

Again, it would be about the volume, not just having music in a helmet.

Tony’s type A personality may suggest he was in fact listening to it too loud.

Yeah I tired these for the first time a while ago and was kinda disappointed in getting a bag of relabeled chicken nuggets.

May be, may be. But also the whole “one Finn equals ten Russians” meme has been around longer than living memory.

Yeah I’ve heard this one before and I like it.

Oh yeah a Swedish sub did a similar thing to the largest US aircraft carrier, iirc. Simulated torpedos ofc but they’re as good as real ones in terms of “we got you”

Yup.

https://nationalsecurityjournal.org/how-a-100-million-swedish-submarine-sank-a-6-billion-navy-supercarrier/

100-mil gotland class sub “sank” a 6.2 billion dollar aircraft carrier.

We Finns haven’t been allowed to have subs for a while, and I’m army, so I don’t know much about those, but it’s the same principle yeah.

The American strategy overlooks certain things sometimes. Trusts too much on technology and not enough on training.

The US is the strongest force within NATO, so with Russia getting more aggressive, Europe and Canada need to quickly build up a stronger army.

Strongest single nation, yeah, but then you address Europe as if it was just one nation, when our combined military might is much more than any single nation is thought to have.

For instance think of how much we Finns fought Russians, when we started with practically nothing to defend ourselves with. Currently we have the largest (and most accurate) artillery in Finland and NORDEFCO and EU defense initiatives. So we got the top of Europe locked down pretty tight.

The US has the largest defense budget and is the most powerful navy, obviously, but we know what to do in our woods. Things even the infamous US marines kinda suck at sometimes. A group of conscripted cooks took down a helicopter of landing marines, that sounds worse than it is, basically the marines just landed and the well camouflaged food group took positions and won the battle or smth some years ago. Now I think it’s been the US helping us, idk how different the Baltic Sea is to ocean operations, and Idk jack shit about navy either as am army. https://yle.fi/a/74-20153073

Anyway wanted to paste something and the older article was now behind paywall so that’s just hyping up Finn US cooperation in helping bust the Russian shadow fleet

Luckily military protocols and treaties aren’t as easily influenced by politics as well, politics. I mean, they are, obviously, but there’s usually just a hint more reason being utilised. That’s what I loved about being in the army. So simple.

Have you ever heard of frisbee golf, or disc golf? It’s popular in places. Perhaps there could be a course somewhere near you? Then just talk a friend into coming and soon you won’t even notice the exercise you’re getting on accident because you’re looking for a throw that kinda went wrong and now you’re having to find the damn disc because youre definitely not going to give up on finding your best one.

But also when you succeed, it’s fun.

Well the only language that is currently officially using it.

I don’t think you can really say that one guy on Lemmy constitutes anything worth a mention on Wikipedia, as it’s not the language using it, per se, but the specific user.

But yeah, sure, technically.

Russia is so fking weak rn. Trying to flex by arresting Antarctic scientists?

So weak

Leonid Pshenichnov, 70, a Ukrainian biologist who is an expert on Antarctica, has a decades-long record of scientific research and contributions to conservation, including support for marine protected areas in the region.

He was preparing to travel to Australia to attend a conference on protecting Antarctic marine life when he was arrested in the Russian-occupied territory of Crimea. He has since been accused by the Russians of high treason.
