    Yep, the fucking language is truly universal.

    Unfortunately, even if they don't abide, nobody really gives a shit.
    I mean, has something happened after it was discovered that CIA abducted people and tortured them at black sites in Romania and Poland, with the knowledge and help of the respective governments? Nope.

    The country in question is the uk. Brits seldom bother to learn foreign languages, after all, even in another country the foreigners are everybody else.

  4. Well, actually yes, the dreaded fascists from the West.
    When Germany invaded Czechoslovakia, the Czechs bowed down and spread their arses wide open instead of actually fighting. Only in 1945 they finally got some guts to revolt against the retreating and weak Wehrmacht, but even then not that much, they preferred to beat up German civilians who fled before the Soviets. They weren't nearly as afraid of Russians in 1968, which tells everything you need to know about who was actually dreaded and who wasn't.

  5. Re:Glad I don't live in the US... on EFF Co-Founder Announces Benefit Concert to Pay His Medical Bills (twitter.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    So you think every drug in existence was developed in the usa?

  6. You still haven't explained which of the 11 timezones you mean.

  7. Which a clit basically is. And if you seriously consider calling the clit mouse just that misogyny, then you have a problem in your head.

  8. Re: Good on It's Time For Laptop Companies To Switch To Precision Touchpad (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The lenovo clit is better than a touchpad anyway.

  9. Re: Not going to be very effective on ISIS Is Using Exploding Consumer Drones To Kill Enemy Fighters (theverge.com) · · Score: 2

    Because they are offensive grenades, so they can't have a lethal range that overlaps with the throwing range. Defensive grenades have far higher ranges because they are supposed to be thrown from behind a cover.

    This is the most widespread defensive grenade:

    25 meters lethal range.

    30 yards is about the range of a hand grenade explosion, that is simply not enough.

  11. Re:Evidence pointing to Russia is flimsy on White House Vows 'Proportional' Response For Russian DNC Hack (go.com) · · Score: 1

    Russia spans eleven timezones. There are no "working hours in Russia", only working hours in specific regions. And if we take Moscow, then its current time would be GMT+3, which is exactly the same as EEST, as in Finland, Estonia, Bulgaria, Greece, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova and Romania. So, can you explain to me, why GMT+3 feels specifically russian to you?

  13. Re: What a joke on Germany Calls For a Ban On Combustion Engine Cars By 2030 (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    It is not that Putin likes Trump, but more like Putin dislikes Hillary Clinton. A few years ago she basically stated that Putin is a soulless prick and he retorted that Hillary is a brainless bimbo.

    It is a fallacy because in Germany, school holidays start on a different day or even month in each state, precisely for this reason.

  15. Re:Too much thin phones and thin batteries on Samsung Halts Galaxy Note 7 Production Temporarily (wsj.com) · · Score: 2

    Here is what a Galaxy Note7 looks like inside. The CPU is behind the metal cover left of the battery. This is basically how most modern phones look like inside (except Sony, they still have the CPU above the battery).

    Time zone, seriously? Russia spans over what, 12 timezones?
    And bear, really? Let me guess, you also identify Klatchians by the sand in their sandals.

  20. Nope. Socialism is, by and large, the workers owning the means of production. The closest USA has to socialism are employee owned companies and credit unions.

  23. What does the one have to do with the other? Besides, he wasn't even born when political dissidents were actually executed instead of imprisoned or exiled.

  24. He isn't that wrong. The breakup caused several bloody wars and drastically lowered the standard of living and personal freedom for millions of former soviet citizens.

    Funny thing that USA didn't point out this difference when Alan Shepard had his flight.

    But yes, they are not a competition for SpaceX since SpaceX does not do manned flights.
