I wish this clown would shut up instead of trying to get 3D printing regulated just so that he can be famous. So yes, big deal, something that is made from a material weaker than most kinds of wood can maybe fire off a shot if you are very lucky or maybe be a small gun shaped grenade without a timer (whoops!). There's plenty of other more useful things that can be done with 3D printing and there's plenty of other ways to make guns at home that will not blow up in your face.
It's North Korea. They have trashed their economy so badly there is no macro economic politics involved and they are effectively bandits to anyone else nearby, even Russia. If anything happens, which is unlikely, it will end up like the US Canal Zone some years back.
I find it extremely off that you are somehow fascinated with having them with me
Considering you jumped onto my comment unasked it is obviously the other way around. The alternative is that you are playing silly sockpuppet games that I'm not aware of. So what stupid troll game are you playing this time and why are you following me around?
We've been all over this before so there has been plenty of "disclosure" but amazingly a lack of accountability from yourself, just a refusal to answer simple questions. So if you won't answer my questions why are you so special that I have to answer yours?
They're saying that recently, the college grads with a B.S. or Masters in the field are getting hired over those with real experience.
Lazy HR by keyword sorting is the culprit. Also remember that many HR folk have no way of recognising the difference between experience and bullshit so they will take a bit of paper with the right words on it from a degree mill over experience or anything with slightly different words.
If more people train in a profession than there are job positions what do you think happens? Surely you can work that one out.
For an added bonus consider looking for work as a recent graduate at the same time when the job market is flooded with a lot of experienced people due to layoffs, and those experienced people are willing to take the same wages as a recent graduate.
If you consider it numerically you may be able to work it out despite an apparent sheltered life and lack of empathy.
At University you usually know that things are going to be tight so can plan to an extent, and have time to find the cheapest vegetables of the week.
Starting a new job you have extra expenses and if that first pay gets delayed it can really suck. I had to live off fried cabbage with chilli flakes for a couple of weeks due to such a delay, and had another near crisis when a combination of a nine week delay in pay and an expectation that I would buy IT equipment to be reimbursed later cleaned out my savings. It's difficult to be civil with accounts people when you have purchased a fucking photocopier for them out of your own savings and they do not see any reason to pay it outside of when they normally do that each month, despite their original lie that it would be paid back the next day. Threatening to quit when you are owed money and have no resources to take legal action to recover it does not look like a good move when there is some hope that waiting will produce results. Both those are traps for new players. It's hard to tell people to fuck off when it's early enough that you can be dismissed with little consequence.
Being a contractor can suck more than being a student until you've got a bit of work behind you. Being a postgrad relying on being paid for teaching work and having that payment delayed a long time also sucks - been there too, more than three months delay with one batch of work and most of it tied up in tax for a year due to accountancy errors.
So what makes a strong President? Reagan who's first act was handing over a ransom to terrorists or Carter who would not deal with them but couldn't stop them either? There hasn't been a "strong" President in a long time but is that really a bad thing? Would having someone "strong", such as a Putin type who people like to please by killing off journalists he doesn't like for a birthday present, actually be a good thing? While a "strong" President will go to extreme lengths to get what they want personally a "weak" President may actually consider what is good for a country and let a constitution tell them what to do. There would probably be a "strong" President if Hillary had won. How do you think that would work out for anyone apart from Hillary? It doesn't sound like such a good idea now does it?
So then - which side do you back to "stop the nonsense going on in Syria"? Look at them all (not both anymore) long enough and it's not so simple is it?
Logistics were the Germans' downfall - resupply and weather. Russia had to flood the line with bullet-stoppers until they caught a break
. Which they knew the weather would provide eventually. Historians argue whether Russia needed an utter monster like Stalin to feed his people into a mincing machine to run out the clock or not.
Weather also killed a huge number of Americans and allies in the Korean war which still astonishes me today, the correct equipment was available but not supplied.
We saw that in Japan at the end of WW2, entire villagaes in the outlying islands committing suicide because of what the millitary told them the US troops would do when they got there
Which they believed because of how their own troops infamously treated others. The NK military is possibly more brutal than the imperial japanese army. I'd rather not be reminded of some of the things they've done to people who got caught before crossing into China which were witnessed from the Chinese side. I'm sure they've got people convinced that any invaders would be far worse.
Wasn't the US Army actually on the border? The Chinese propaganda goes that McArthur looked across the river and that was taken as the sign that he was going to invade China - that's what was used as the excuse for the Chinese entering the war anyway. Reality is a bit messier especially considering that the core of the North Korean forces had been an organised regional group of Red Army troops for years so the Red Army was fighting fully supplied and equipped in Korea long before China was officially involved in the war.
North Korea accused China of being behind an attempted coup a couple of decades back and relations have been shaky since. Better than with anywhere else, but pretty damn xenophobic just the same and people of Han Chinese descent had to leave or die. China trades with North Korea (and anybody else on the planet no matter what's wrong with them) but they are not allies. The huge markup on oil is an example of that, China takes full advantage of being the only serious trade partner and screws them over, which is not something you do to an ally. They don't turn the N.K. refugees back either, so once again not an ally.
using North Korea as a suitable proxy for dirtiest clandestine business
See also the USA using Syria for "extreme rendition". You are clearly not stupid enough to suggest that the USA and Syria are allied, but just have not considered that it may be a similar mostly hands off approach with N.K.
Go to your local version of chinatown and if you ask around enough you are bound to find someone that both comes from a part of China close to N.K. and hates both governments so will give you an unbiased view. Another place to try is a Korean food shop since some Chinese ethnic Koreans (there are nearly as many as outside China) or escaped North Koreans may be found there. One view I heard from a Chinese Korean from the border area is that the best way for China to deal with N.K. is to wait until the wind is blowing away from both China and S.K. and before nuking it. As for "the old guard" - didn't you notice an article today about Apollo program people dying of old age? Anyone who was old enough to make major decisions twenty years before that is already dead.
There is no way the Israelis would give away or lose the material you say
Around 2000 there was a huge fuss about a top secret US tank fire targetting system that was stolen from the hardware that was donated to Israel, sold to China and then on-sold to Iran. Apparently even the thieves were pretty upset about that outcome. However nuclear stuff makes people a bit more careful about keeping tabs on things.
That's the Hollywood argument. So how's the Californian government getting on after all that tax evasion? The reality is no trickle down but instead just hitting someone else for the funds and ultimately a different industry hobbled due to not being picked as a winner.
What? The entire reason I got on this thread to be "corrected" was this text of yours.
If you built a car engine that delivered power by causing fuel to explode

Detroit industries went from being run by the competent to being run by the relatives of the competent. To top it off it became the playground of MBAs replacing technical management, and considered itself to have too good a reputation to every have to worry about the likes of Toyota. When a slightly tweaked version of a 1938 German car was vastly more technologically advanced than their product they didn't react, and their sheer size and inertia was the only thing that stopped Detroit being a ghost town in the 1960s. Silicon Valley doesn't quite have that problem yet - apart from disasters in progress like HP of course.

Or to look at it another way, probably only ten times the written off debt of Donald Trump alone.
It's best described as a Kingdom with some strange worship of dead Kings going on - sort of like a dysfunctional pharonic Egypt.
Unfortunately NK frogman would probably mean the guy that hunts for frogs to feed his unit.

Sadly that describes the North Koreans and what they would be prepared to do tho their own country and people better than the Russians.

Instead of an anonymous bullet they've used Polonium to make the point that nobody but them could possibly have done it.
Yes there's been official disclosure from the South African end.
No need to make a big deal about apartheid. We still put up with Israel doing it.

So opening by pretending to be utterly ignorant of even some stuff you've written yourself. What an obvious troll.
I think you have got that somewhat backwards Mr keyboard jockey :)
You are supposed to read and understand before cutting and pasting.
