Yes, but is it worth going to war over a drone dropping some leaflets? Returning an equivalent amount of waste paper was funny and appropriate, war is neither.

Look mate, biological warfare is definitely not cricket.

What did the poor insects do to deserve this?

as a kind of protest against the war in Gaza.

Well, I guess enforcing the Genocide convention is technically ‘a kind of protest’.

where they will arrest him and force him to live a normal life for some months.

The Last Emperor 2: Electric Bazingoo

Would be funny if Ireland triggers NATO Article 5 in response.

The smaller the eye, the stronger the wind?

You can write Türkiye as Tuerkiye if you want to stick to ‘pure’ English. I mean, Latin.

You’d have to make major adjustments to actually have one violently explode.

That, or buy a Samsung smartphone.

Or you could blow the door or window of the plane and crash it.

Would it be enough to actually compromise the hull? The hull would be built to withstand random birds colliding (and at the speed a plane flies, a bird would hit it with the force of a bullet or so), so I’m guessing it should be fairly strong. Also, a hole in the hull shouldn’t cause a crash - the ‘door fell off’ Boeing still managed to land safely. (Whoever is near the explosion is going to get badly injured / killed though.)

I mean, she’s not wrong.

Old buildings, particularly stone ones, can stand for centuries with good maintanence. I’ve seen so many cases of old (100yo) buildings standing in much better shape than newer (20-30yo) ones.

Yes, but those are devices specially shaped and reinforced to tip the train.

You only need to derail ONE of the bogies/wheel sets of only one of the wagons for the train to be “derailed”.

Yes, it looks like the train in the image jack-knifed, suggesting it probably isn’t articulated. So the affected coach can be pushed off by itself, rather than being stabilised by the weight of the rest of the train.

I’m guessing hydro-electric also requires a water supply.

Wording aside, how does a train get derailed by a car? A car would be - what - a tonne? A single coach of a train would be 10-20 tonnes.

If enough of them sell, the price will go down, so at least they’ll be selling at a ‘loss’ and people will be able to buy them at reasonable prices.

Oh, your’e right. I can’t read.

How is Labour to the right of the Lib Dems?? (Rhetorical question, I know. Fuck Starmer.)

‘The Onion’ stands with Israel because it seems like you get in less trouble for that

The CSA precedes the Nazis. In fact, Nazi race laws were partially based on slavery laws from the southern US.
