Nukes have such unique detonation characteristic that it's quite hard to hide, especially since we have tons of eyes on the whole area for decades. While I would not be surprise if this is real, I'd want more concrete evident first that it's actually a nuke and not simply salt the ground with U-235 (for some reasons).

Done.

My bad. I pretty much turn it off after the first part talk about how the user name usually is "in the western world", assuming it would be the same talking point I've seen so many gods damn times throughout the community.

...and that's what happened when you judge a book by its cover.

Well...what do you expected would happened when the defending side effectively announced that a huge chunk of the reserve that would have been reinforcing the frontline suddenly weren't there anymore.

Forgive my ignorance, but what is "Duchau" referring to?

"Freah UA [male reproductive organ shape?]"?

Someone took "thesis defense" a bit too far.

[I think I reuse this image a lot lately.]

...and my earlier answer to your question was "indiscriminately".

I'm glad you didn't add the twist lol.

Indiscriminately

[grab a PPSh with lethal intend]

This read more like a "increase defense budget plz" than a serious strategic analysis.

Thai comrade here.

We consider the monarchy issue as something to be consider after getting rid of west-influenced capitalist. The royal family is one huge contradiction by the virture of both being based as fuck and being the fucking monarchy at the same time (Unsurprisingly, consider the previous king openly stated to have Tito as idol). If it's confusing, don't worry, you're not alone. The now-defunct Communist Party of Thailand also couldn't make up their mind on this issue.

This day is to be remembered.

Apologies, I'm not really familiar with that franchise. Can you elaborate?

[Me, player of CnC General who favor Nuke General as main faction]

I more than understand. I embraced it.

The glow, the wonderful glow.

I'll go for "USian" instead, becaus for whatever reasons it seem to pissed them off more.

Thank you.

Thank you.

...and, of course, paywalled.

Good? Not sure. Completely justified in their counteroffensive against Super Earth? Absolutely.

I mean, I could think of this as an extension of existing space infrastructure, allow using the spaceport as hub for extra-fast delivery.

The problem is this require said spaceport to existed in the first place, which we still have exactly zero of it.

Chinese commercial launch sector is very, very competitive area, where at least a dozen company still fighting over each other to find their own niche to fulfill. Land launch, sea launch, solid fuel, Lox/LH2 rocket, Lox/Methane rocket, expendable, reusable, Falcon 9 clone, mini-falcon 9, small payload rocket, gigantic rocket, and more. And this is only the commercial sector. I haven't even touch what the CASC and other state-own agencies are probably working on. (probably, because a lot of what they are working on is dual civilian-military program, which came with fuck tons of secrecy as a result). My guess is this is their attempt to gain investors and find their own place, nothing more.

Curiously, compare to more prominent players like Deep Blue Aerospace, LandSpace, Galactic Energy, or iSpace (seriously?), I don't think the name Space Epoch came up very often. Like with almost ALL Chinese commercial launch companies, what they will produce, if it went anywere, remain to be seen.

Where have I heard that before....

Well...pretty much the entire pharmaceutical market in US is exactly that - artificially expensive.

This one is Soviet's ASU-76. It didn't get pass prototype stage, but led to the development of ASU-57.

You beat me to it.

"I wondered how many people who talked about the novel so glibly had ever read it; or if they had, whether they remembered it at all." - Issac Asimov

Well, thel called us "Tankie", so....

I mean, I'm more of a "nuclear submarine-kie" myself, but that doesn't have the same ring to it.

Every times I tried to give the British some benefit of the doubt, thinking maybe my opinion of them has been too harsh in the past, something like this always happened.

The sheer confident, ignorant, evilness, or combinations of three that one must have to write that....

Ramakien (wikipedia link)

It's the only one I remembered, thanks to secondary school. I remember that they are other mythology, mostly in the form of children stories, but I can't remember the name or even the plot.

[warning : incoming rant]

Frankly, literatures is one of my least favorite subject in my entire school years, partly thanks to many local literatures that was so terribly written I have no idea why people still talk about them fondly. For heck sake, one of the first story we learn in primary school is a few step away from being a porn. Compare to these, at least Ramakien is somewhat enjoyable.

[end rant]

I'm Thai, so, thanks to the Buddhism-with-Hinduism-characteristic over here, I'm a bit familiar with a few of localized version of Hindu mythology, including Ramayana. I agree, it's weird when you really think about it.

Big reveal at the end is definitely that you are the bad guy right?

Not sure about the second game, since I'm still not, and will not consider buying it until the server issue is resolved (and even then...), but the first game doesn't really leave it ambiguous that you are the bad guy to begin with.

And, let me guess, despite that last statement, "I think I need higher pay. I said I want higher pay. I work harder hoping for higher pay." doesn't count.

They even have a ship named Inflexible, as if that's a virtue to strive for.

It's been a while since I read that book. What's the context again?

I mean, it's such as Amos thing, so I'm not surprised, but I have no memory of that quote.

This have the same energy as if something like this appear in 1941 :

"Commie in new song threatening Germans and Nazis"

To put it mildly....

As describe by one Reuter report :

Imagine taking a chunk of rotting corpse from a stagnant sewer, placing it in a blender and spraying the filthy liquid in your face. Your gag reflex goes off the charts and you can't escape, because the nauseating stench persists for days.
