Yeah,all those old white men got the world to where it is now with technology, governments, world powers....democratic societies, and general growth, etc.
Now I'm not an SJW by any stretch of the imagination - ask AmiMoScope - but has it occurred to you that perhaps the reason so many things in the past were done disproportionally by men was because only men were allowed to do them?
Taking UK laws as an example, anything political before 1919 and anything medical before 1865 could not have been done by women since they were explicitly excluded from those professions.
There's a lot more recorded history before then than there is after.
Did you know that STEEL case of a warhead serves the purpose of confining the explosive so it can build up a higher pressure so it's a high order explosion instead of a low order explosion?
The article mentions using a thermobaric charge, like a fuel-air explosive. They don't work like that.
And it takes many more man hours to remove and package eight of something for disposal than it does two of something.
We aren't talking about pressing buttons here. The size of the articles matters.
Which is easier to load onto a truck - one 500 pound beer barrel or a couple of dozen smaller ones?
An intelligent individual doesn't presume that because he doesn't know - no one else does either.
Where did I say that nobody does? I said that GP doesn't, and that's true. Perhaps you should learn to read before criticising anyone else's intelligence.
He asks and learns.
Or just assumes it's linearly related to the number, and size & complexity play no part, as true geniuses like you do. Duh indeed.
Is it? IANAREL but I'd have thought that if the bank lent you money to buy a specific house it'd be a little impolite to go to Vegas with it, buy TSLA, short TSLA, buy a different house or indeed do anything other than use it to buy that specific house.
An alternative explanation might be that you posted a planned (i.e. not actual) number and multiplied it by another number that you pulled out of your arse to get it into the order of magnitude you wanted.
It's OK if the manufacturers label it voluntarily, because if it's voluntary they don't have to do it, and so they won't.
If they're mandated to do it that's that's regulation, and regulation is bad because something vague and vacuous about freedom. Don't you watch Fox News?

It is a fraudulent, deceptive or manipulative act or practice within the meaning of section 14(e) of the Act ( 15 U.S.C. 78n) for any person to publicly announce[1] that the person (or a party on whose behalf the person is acting) plans to make a tender offer[2] that has not yet been commenced, if the person:
(a) Is making the announcement of a potential tender offer without the intention to commence the offer within a reasonable time and complete the offer;

Seems you aren't allowed to run a play-action on a takeover.
Handguns are used in suicides much more often than either rifles or shotguns.
There was that time I was feeling down and worthless and all I had was a WW2 Lee Enfield. Huge bloody thing. My arms aren't that long and my toes are too fat to fit in the trigger guard, so I started rigging up a contraption with bootlaces, meccano, a grandfather clock and all that.
I got halfway through and thought, "you know, if you have the ingenuity to do that maybe you aren't so dumb - you should give it another go."
I decided to go down the pub to celebrate but as I came in I tripped over the cord and shot myself in the arse.

Probably is. I mean dumb slogans, pseudo-intellectual quotes and in-jokes are practically the definition of "chick magnet".
There's a difference between having your own opinion and wearing a t-shirt with a slogan on it.
P.S. There's also a, difference between your way, of using commas, and the right one.
If I was wearing boots I'd be quaking in them.
I bet you like have loads of tattoos and piercings and stuff. To demonstrate your individuality - just like everyone else.

That's easy, it's none.
Now with communism, you could argue that it's higher. Then again, was it communism or totalitarianism that caused the Ukrainian famines?
... and then the bug wouldn't get passed down to subsequent versions requiring it be fixed several times.
It shouldn't need saying, but apparently it does.
It just about works!
Seriously, does nobody test their shit before releasing it these days?
Last time I tried, even with pretty old games like IL-2, it sucked ass.
I'm considering changing from CentOS to MInt so this might be a good time to give it another go.

You can argue either way as to whether it'd deceptive or not to call it "new"; personally I'm on the fence about that.
However, I'm far from being convinced that it concerns anyone other than the buyer and the seller.

God promised him the funding?
Perhaps it's a word that doesn't translate well to or from Icelandic? He's probably using the same definition these fine upstanding financial geniuses
You obviously use a different meaning of "secured" to me. Well, to everyone, actually.
I secured the sale of my house, but later the buyer didn't sign the contract!

True, but that's something else.

When I was a kid it was a kind of lemon juice. You had to be careful not to get them confused your apple pie would taste awful.
I hope you give people advance warning so they can deploy their umbrellas.
Depends. Will it be cheaper, including any fines and penalties, than doing it right?
On some aircraft the wheels begin to rotate before they touch the ground.
