Re: Question - Imperial Navy 40k Ship Design
You don't seem to grasp the setting. The religious iconography and structures aren't supposed to be efficient at anything except being religious structures and iconography in a dark age of superstition and blind faith. The every present nature of all the religious iconography and allowances is one ...

Re: Transformers: The Last Knight
It's a horrible movie that missed the point of why people watch Transformers at all. It's like calling a show Transformers, but not getting enough Robot killing action to keep it going.

Re: The sad state of the US

Re: Western media whines about fake news

Re: Seagate vs Western Digital external hard drive
A number of "Seagate" external drives are actually Samsung ones because Seagate bought over Samsung's hard drive business. I have had issues with many of them, namely the 2.5" ones.

Re: Russian war criminal killed in Donetsk
The decisive point has already past. Russia won, deal with it, that's how they operate. But I think you forget that the Russians have never forgotten 1941 anyway, and never will in our lifetimes. They WILL suffer if they believe it makes a repeat of that more impossible. Amen. Never forget - never ...

While that is going on, I hear the Ukrainians are trying to charge some Tornado neo-nazis, and the judges and prosecutors are having a rather interesting time. Wonder if the judges themselves will find a bomb in their faces.

If you are going to betray your country, becoming a target of a hit isn't something unheard of.
Of course, I suspect the UK government wants to distract the populace from some other problem.
