Don’t know if I’ve ever done it, but it was done to me.
So, it’s obviously possible.
I’m pretty amused by the mix of comments where people are offering up themselves as irrefutable evidence, while others proclaim with certainty it can’t be done. Actually a humbling perspective see people who’ve convinced themselves trying to convince others I don’t exist.

Oh, shit, so he for sure is planning to invade Europe, then.
I’m actually surprised that Putin is acknowledging the asymmetry of capacity here. I’d have imagined he’d pitch inconsequential bullshit to avoid admitting what type of ceasefire would work in his favour
Ok, so that’s the crux of it that I think was unclear in your original post.
Your initial post was read by me (and presumably others) as “NATO without the backing of the USA isn’t a meaningful defense group”
But I think what you’re saying is “ENTRY to NATO with the USA pulling the strings is an unrealistic goal”
Even if the USA were to leave NATO or refuse to participate, there still isn’t a better security guarantee than the remaining block being obligated to engage militarily in your defense, and the block still contains nuclear powers.
I strongly recommend not disclosing that you intend to use the monthly savings on vodka and gummies
It’s just a show for the benefit of Trump and his supporters.
A few days ago, Putin was repeating Trump’s lines of “never would have happened if Joe Biden didn’t steal the election in 2020”.
These two are for sure just performing their choreographed dance designed to enthrall and delight the MAGA base. It can’t be stressed enough how this dance costs Putin nothing.
That makes sense as long as you’re not writing code that needs to know how to do something as complex as …checks original post… count.
He literally said it was not a negotiation tactic.
Canada (as a federal unit) has pretty desperately been trying to allow itself to trade oil on the global stage, but the infrastructure to allow that just isn’t there. To get meaningful quantities to Canadian ports required pipelines through to the west coast, and that was politically unpalatable to the people living there.
Really sucks that Canada just plainly didn’t build the infrastructure to expand to global markets. Most intercontinental trade of Canadian petroleum is via Florida. It’d be great if Canada could flood the European and Asian markets to kneecap Russias war machine funding. But the infrastructure isn’t there.
So his defense was that he was merely intending to humiliate people who find issue with the gesture?
Still not a ton of details so I’m for sure not jumping to any conclusions, especially with how shitty Tesla’s are and their safety record…
But, Trump Tower and a Cyber truck certainly is the perfect symbolic intersection of Donald Trump and Elon Musk. If one did want to make a symbolic statement about the two, I don’t know if I can think of a better intersection. Can you?
Obviously it’s not proof of anything and Tesla’s fucking suck. But I at least can comprehend why the perfection of the symbolism is noteworthy to people.
Edit: I see in a follow up comment buddy is linking it to New Orleans. I see no connection.
Finland has mandatory civil service. Vast majority of men have done at least a brief period of military service.
This would be much more about skill maintenance than “learning to shoot”
“If you act like Assad you’ll end up like Assad”, they said to the guys who ended Assad for being Assad.
I disagree that being perfectly unambiguous is a feature of a “perfect” language.
Ambiguity creates holes for us to fill, and some people don’t realize how good it feels to fill those holes.
The energy is in the form of complex but stable intramolecular bonds
Banners body has a store of extremely high energy particles. When he transforms, they are converted to much lower energy particles and the energy is converted to mass (e=mc^2). When the hulk goes back to banner, is the same process in reverse: mass is converted to much more highly energetic particles.
One of the benefits of having young children is that if I play my cards right “my” boycott could exceed my own lifetime.
