That was magnificent…

Yes, I imagine they’d use the Arrow 3, and the US Navy could probably help out with SM3s if they were instructed to intervene.

They’re saying ballistic missiles, not cruise missiles though. Those are too fast and too vertical to be intercepted with aircraft.

Tomato / tomato.

It’s a special ethnic adjustment operation.

Finnala.

Her name is a nod to her Indian heritage on her mother’s side and in her 2019 memoir, Harris wrote that she pronounced it “Comma-la” and that it means “lotus flower.” […] Still, Trump continues to say “Kah-MAH-la.”

I was sure this was going to be the other way around. Strange and less bad than I expected. It’s mostly just an accent thing, not a change in sounds.

When the war was obviously in the ‘last stand’ phase for the Imperial Japanese Navy, they sent their pride, the largest battleship in the world, Yamato, with just nine light escorts to run itself aground on the shore of Okinawa island and act as an unsinkable fortress there. Unfortunately it had to go past about eleven carriers with almost 400 aircraft and… it didn’t make it.

Does that mean 15? Sure, that’s probably normal.

Americans are weird.

“Yes, we’ve laid waste to your lands, but think of how much we could exploit them (and you, of course) now!”

Damn right, they kicked the floor with him.

Big head-to-body ratio = juvenile features = cute.

Thank you for the kind presumption, but I actually fucked it up and scrambled up my geography, @bokster@lemmy.sdf.org was right to correct me. I looked at a map before I wrote that, too, and I still read it wrong. I’m not even sure what i thought was between them…

Fun fact I read once: The most common last name in Hungary is not Magyar but actually Horvath. Which in Hungarian means “Croat”.

And Croatia is not even a directly neighboring country anymore. So it’d be like the most common name in America being Johnny Guatemala.

Or a witch.

Flashbacks of “Whirlwind” by James Clavell…

Looks a bit like the Arachne browser for DOS.

TIL, thank you.

No, not really. This has been happening for almost a decade, it’s not something that just started.

A two-track mind.
