Using a slightly updated launcher from 1953. How is that a functioning space program? Russia has tried to build a replacement for it and Proton for the last 25 years, that replacement had its first test launch in 2014 and its second test launch will happen next year.
Even though I have a lot of sympathy for the Russians I honestly prefer the European norms. Better that than a bunch of religious nutters wielding way too much power. Besides, USA has happily supported islamists for a long time and still does and the Russian space program is neither active nor functioning. Hasn't been for a long time which is a fucking shame because it used to be awesome. But yes, Americans and Russians have indeed something in common - they are both very nationalistic and believe in might makes right.
The Trump crime family broke alot of laws in their treasonous collusion with Russia's attack on our country, but we still let him run for president and "win"
Maybe you should actually start jailing crooks instead of making them presidents again and again.
Not sure if trolling or just very stupid, but probably the latter. The first Chechen war started when Putin was just an aide to a mayor, when islamists rebelled in a province of Russia. But setting that aside, what you are basically saying is that supporting islamist separatists was a good thing because it was about countering the aggression of the government forces (a.k.a "the federals"). If that is the case, why exactly do you condemn Russia supporting separatists in the Ukraine? Do separatists need to be islamists for you to cheer for them? Do you support the islamic state as well?
Not 1785 the same because FSB is the domestic security service of Russia. The closest US equivalent would be FBI with the difference that FSB is also responsible for border and coast guard. They are literally the Russian feds.
A corporate security team won't send assassins to inject your most valuable people with ricin pellets. Or strew Strontium 147 around their house. Or seduce their daughter. Or rape/sodomize your son.
A corporate security team might send mercenaries, though. And what the mercenaries would do is anyone's guess, really.
Are you being willingly obtuse? They make a step that is obviously a trade secret and only available to the actual Apple repair technicians under a non-disclosure agreement. This is nothing unusual, I have signed a NDA of a different phone manufacturer which allows me to repair their DRMed hardware. Without a certain step their phones wouldn't even boot after they have been opened for repairs, even if nothing has been changed.
Yes, it would, because the vendor would be liable for warranty if the battery doesn't follow specifications. I say that as someone who repairs a lots of phones on the side. But in this case the replacement part does follow specifications and is compatible to the phone, but the phone software recognises it as a non-genuine part and refuses to work with it, making it DRMed hardware, same shit as these DRM chips in printer ink cartridges.
No this is definitely not what happened. Going by your analogy, if I install a new battery and the phone recognises that the battery is not genuine and then intentionally shorts itself to start a fire, that would be exactly what happened.
None, because economic systems are orthogonal to what the pirate party is about. Generally the pirate party is a single issue party (nothing wrong about it, the green party started this way) and could only rule in a coalition government unless it adopts a full platform.
Neither is correct. Euroean countries are fairly social-democratic, not socialist (workers own the means of production). And as for China, communist government is an oxymoron. Even the USSR realised that and called themselves socialist (resulting in the citizens of many former socialist countries receiving a share of the state owned enterprises after the breakup/independence), with communism being a long-term goal.
Yep, years ago, when I still lived in Dortmund, I took my sword to the Westfalenpark once to practice there. And it was an actual sword with an edge, good enough (well, barely) for tameshigiri. Good times.
And again you have no idea what you are talking about. RBMK was not an experimental reactor, reactors of that type have already been running for years before the Chernobyl power plant has even been built. It also was not a dual use design as it is, it simply was built along the lines of previous military reactors because this is what the leading engineer had experience with and because it simply has been faster to scale up an older but already proven desing. You are such an atomic fanboy but don't really know much about it.
Using a scythe requires some learning, but it is surprisingly fun if you know how to do it. And as for dude in his yard with a blade, I used to practice iaido in my backyard, never had a problem because of it. Like I said, in Germany neighbours generally aren't nosy.
And once again you have no idea what you are talking about. Lignite in Germany is in its preterminal stage. The jobs in the sector are dwindling with only about 20000 employees left with the average age of over 40 years and the amount of electrical power produced by lignite hasn't changed for the last 25 years. Since Germany produces more electrical power now than 25 years ago and since German lignite power plants are much more efficient than 25 years ago it can only mean that the amount of lignite has been constantly reduced over the years - although not as strongly as black coal - Germany burns half the amount nowadays. Matter of fact, renewables overtook either by 2016 and will overtake both kinds of coal together in a few more years.
What does the fleet average age in the USA have to do with France? It is only 9 years there. Older vehicles are generally sold to Eastern Europe where fewer people can afford to buy new.

Yep, very stupid it is. Care to explain how supporting terrorists in Nicaragua or islamists in Afghanistan made the world better?

So, how does it feel to be on the receiving end for once? Because with allies like you, who needs enemies anyway?

Because Japan is becoming a gerontocracy (and so is Germany, by the way).

A startup is not a relative term. Upstart would be the correct term.
Not really because France has as much population as the two most populous US states together.

People in Germany generally aren't that nosy.
Why not a scythe?
