They used European equipment at least

I bet he had a trans roommate at some point

ED can be a long term symptom of traumatic brain injury. TBI is super common for anyone deployed in Iraq or Afghanistan

The point of bringing up the treaty is just to point out that the result of the situation you are describing was so scary that for about 30 years the 2 biggest nuclear powers agreed not to do it. That is all to say that one answer to your question is " US and Russia pretty much saw your scenario resulting in inevitable full scale nuclear war"

US and Russia used to have a treaty against either country developing anti-ballistic missiles. The idea was that if 1 party trusted their ABMs too much, they would no longer care about a counter attack, and that would undermine the MAD doctrine.

No, i stand by my original statement. I said it would be “off by” as in the “error will be” so the difference is the important bit to calculate that. There are a lot of ways to correctly do the math though

Thank you for your service. It’s super important for every internet comment to contain every pedantic detail every time

Yes,you can use the tire size information to calculate the circumference of the stock and the new tires. The speedometer will be off by the same ratio as the difference in circumferences. If the new tires are already installed and you don’t like geometry, use your gps to check the accuracy of the speedo at a few speeds

The agreement was you weren’t going to fact check

Tell me you don’t understand the bill of rights without mentioning the constitution

No, no, almost all of it is left center. A credible source keeps telling me that

Troll bait taken…

Because that’s the way it’s been since 1852. It was the same way before 1852 but at least one of the parties had a different name. The system would need a structural change (like ranked choice voting) to enable a viable 3rd party to exist.

Agree that they would happily bend any rules for trump, but the RNC already happened and they chose Vance as the VP candidate. How does the Republican Party change their rules now? They would need to have some sort of party vote I think. Emergency RNC 2.0?

No, I’m sure they’ll try to support whatever he says. But, officially the party nominates the VP candidate which they’ve already done. When Trump tells them to change it, I don’t know what mechanism exists to actually do that. The campaign on its own cannot change the ticket.

It would be peak Trump to announce a VP change without checking if it was actually possible 🍿🍿

Wasn’t Vance officially chosen by the delegates at the RNC? Can Trump actually pick someone else now? What would the party have to do to change their nomination after the convention-hold an emergency meeting and revote?

My dad used the shit fire expression. I also don’t know of an actual meaning.

Yeah, but we all know that no matter how many times that I have already done, tech support won’t talk to me until we do it again together
