    Want to reduce pollution due to traffic?

    Densify urban area and empty rural area.

    People can get around inside a city using public transportation and between city by using large scale public transport (trains for mid distance and plane for long trips).

     

    The last part however depend largely on peoples changing their habits and accepting to reduce their use of their personal car which is something you can only encourage and hope that people will follow.

     

    That doesn't work in the US, physically or culturally. Our transportation infrastructure is built around personal automobile ownership. We would have to demolish and rebuild entire cities for mass public transit to begin to be viable.

     

    Culturally it doesn't work either because Americans value their freedom, which includes the ability to go wherever, whenever, with whoever and whatever you want. As a personal example, I couldn't practically use public transit because I am a gunsmith, and as such I frequently transport all manner of firearms. I don't think the local bus would appreciate me bringing a Kalashnikov on board.

     

    I'm not even going to touch the sociopolitical impacts of urbanization like to suggested. All I can say is fuck big cities and high population density areas. I would never live in one.

    Yeah, the few times I tried it, that's what  I ran into... 

     

    What's funny, is you can still win Air AB when those ass bags are playing alt ambush bs. 

     

    Just dive for the deck with a load of ord, bomb the shit of out stuff, win the battle through the ground game, why they rack up their silly K/D and lose the game.  This works well for American planes, cause most of them haul bombs and rockets, and six .50s works well on soft ground stuff, and they have tons of ammo and fast reload, so left alone, you can do a lot of damage. 

     

    I do have fun playing planes in tank RB, there are fewer alt monkeys in that mode, but you still get them, but a guy wasting time in a fighter at high alt loses their team the game in that mode too.

     

     

     

    the only "high altitude" flying I do in tank RB is with the Pe-8, for obvious reasons. I stick with AB most of the time, anyways. RB is still unmitigated ass cancer because of the negative stability of how SP works. Every game is a blowout shitroll, and that just isn't fun. I'm not even going to say that it is better now with SP costs being reduced, it just locks you into the suffering for that much longer.

    We are all so tired of this kavanaugh crap that we've resorted to discussing cheese tarrifs. 

     

    Modern politics is incredibly complex and multi multifaceted.

     

    Also, I'm responding to your post and not collimatrix because I don't want to reward that kind of behavior with any kind of recognition (even though I would have made a similar pun myself)

    This argument would be valid if this were a trial.  It is not.  This is essentially a job interview.  It's to determine if this particular candidate is of good character and qualified to be given a lifetime appointment as one of the most powerful judges in the nation.  

     

    So at your next job interview can I make false accusations against you to make sure that you don't get the job? Also, are you familiar with the concepts of slander and liable? How about the concept of common law? Critical thinking?

     

    Presumption of innocence is a legal standard because it comes from a cultural standard. I love all these people mindlessly crowing about how presumption of innocence only applies in courts, without thinking about the ramifications of what they are saying. Presumption of innocence in the courts means nothing if it does not exist in society at large. We have gotten a taste of what it looks like over the years, and it's been a very bitter taste every time. The presumption of guilt is a direct product of prejudice, when the judgment is handed down before the case is even heard.

    Holy Christ we have entered bizarro world when I have at least partially agreed with Piers Morgan not once, but twice in as many years. The first time was when he ripped Hollywood celebs apart when they pretended to be the most persecuted people America during some self aggrandizing masturbatory award show they hold for themselves. I guess he isn't completely disconnected from reality.

    you don't get to take the high road.  

     

    Once you all threw in with Trump, normal rules go out the window.  Every tactic is allowed.  You all support a man of such obvious low character and bad motives because it furthers an agenda you favor.  Don't complain when the people who disagree with you start to utilize every tactic available. 

     

     

     

    Does that include assassination attempts on republican lawmakers? Just curious.

     

    Edit: BTW, that is not a rhetorical question, I seriously want to know what you think about that.

    If this is what wrestling was like int he '90s man I missed out. 

     

    Also, I didn't watch the last bit with Kavanaugh. But I heard he cried a bit. So the dems accused and accused and accused and he's just sick of saying "NO, I Didn't do that shit"? 

     

    Pretty sad. The Democrats are resorting to actual literal schoolyard bullying. 

     

    Where is that photo of Feinstein cornering Murkowski, looking exactly like a school bully? 

     

  8. Is it just me, or would having knowledge of multiple instances of gang rapes occurring at parties, continuing to attend such parties, and not reporting anything about said rapes make you an accessory to the crime?

     

    Do you just see a line of guys outside of a bedroom and think "Oh, they're just waiting for their turn to rape some girl. I wonder if there is any chip dip left."

     

    Update: apparently ole Julia is in a shit load of debt with the IRS, with court documents to back it up. Hmmmmmmmmm.

    When a 76mm (From a M41) bounces off the front of a PZKfwII, this seems to  indicate  their shot mechanics are a skosh wacky.

    Gaijin talks a good game but they seem to lack range time. 

    I/e~

    "I have seen what a 90mm solid shot does to a chunk of 12" facehardened steel. ".

    It blows a fist sized hole right through it. 

    I've seen a 25mm Puteaux shred proofed armor.  Shit that does not happen in games, DOES happen in the real world.

    The Puteaux was the most amazing. It fucking destroyed modern armor . That little 25mm was badass.

     

    You see, if they actually simulated that, the boos and their precious Nazi trash boxes would get shit on even harder. No longer would Tiger 1 turrets eat D-25 with no consequence, and L7 would be able to pierce Tiger II glacis.

     

    Now, that being said, I'm pretty sure that the ML-20 APHE shot will straight up pen panther upper glacis, while in testing it did ricochet off of. It send a considerable portion of it flying back into the fighting compartment when it did so, behaving in a manor similar to the trash compactor on a garbage truck, in addition to cracking every weld, so there end result of dead panther is still the same.

     

    There is a lot they need to fix in regards to pentration in war thunder, but most of it is for historical reasons, with only a few game balance issue involved. Mostly US HVAP is a disappointment compared to what it should be, but it would also be somewhat game breaking if it behave properly.

    This was posted on my FB feed.

    Not making any claims as to veracity, or providence.

     

    I'll say this though... if he was involved in that kind of conduct he has no business being a Judge, let alone being on the highest court in the US.

     

     

     

    Typical DC bullshit. Let me show you how is done.

     

    Bele, when was the last time you beat your child?

    How often do you beat your child?

    Do you prefer to use a belt or other item when you beat your child?

    What's the most effective method you have found to hide the evidence that you beat your child?

     

    It's that simple. Publicly publish a list of questions like that about a controversial and important figure, and you will get a bunch of morons believing that the person in question is a child abuser. No evidence required.

    So 3D gun guy has been arrested for having underage sex with a 16-year old prostitute?

     

    https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/407771-3d-printed-gun-creator-accused-of-sexual-assault-arrested-in

     

    ...

     

    And this is why I always hesitate before allying myself politically with “Big L” Libertarians.

     

    Tin foil hat time!

     

    This guy just settled a case with the Feds, and was then sued again after that victory, could he have fallen into a trap?

     

    The Fed doesn't like it when they lose, just sayin'.

     

    Not saying that what is reported isn't what happened, but more information is needed on this one. Sexual behavior traps are in vogue right now, it would seem.

  12. Well, I learned how to be a massive faggot today: You sit 3km away from your targets and stuff 900mm pen TOW II missiles into their sides and back.

    I also learned how to counter people being massive faggots: You fire 9M112 Kobra ATGMs right back at them when they are hovering 3km away.

     

    Also, dank "unguided" meme for shooting down a helicopter with a guided missiles.
