Russia’s inability to keep up with the economic challenges of the US’ military output is what cause the collapse of the Soviet Union after all.

Once again, girls are somehow responsible for boys’ inability to behave 🤦

I couldnt find that one, but I did find:

In late 1924, Goebbels offered his services to Karl Kaufmann, who was Gauleiter (Nazi Party district leader) for the Rhine-Ruhr District. Kaufmann put him in touch with Gregor Strasser, a leading Nazi organiser in northern Germany, who hired him to work on their weekly newspaper and undertake secretarial work for the regional party offices.[41] He was also put to work as party speaker and representative for Rhineland-Westphalia.[42] Strasser founded the National Socialist Working Association on 10 September 1925, a short-lived group of about a dozen northern and western German Gauleiter; Goebbels became its business manager and the editor of its biweekly journal, NS-Briefe.[43] Members of Strasser’s northern branch of the Nazi Party, including Goebbels, had a more socialist outlook than the rival Hitler group in Munich.[44] Strasser disagreed with Hitler on many parts of the party platform, and in November 1926 began working on a revision.[45]

Hitler viewed Strasser’s actions as a threat to his authority, and summoned 60 Gauleiters and party leaders, including Goebbels, to a special conference in Bamberg, in Streicher’s Gau of Franconia, where he gave a two-hour speech repudiating Strasser’s new political programme.[46] Hitler was opposed to the socialist leanings of the northern wing, stating it would mean “political bolshevization of Germany.” Further, there would be “no princes, only Germans,” and a legal system with no “Jewish system of exploitation … for plundering of our people.” The future would be secured by acquiring land, not through expropriation of the estates of the former nobility, but through colonising territories to the east.[45] Goebbels was horrified by Hitler’s characterisation of socialism as “a Jewish creation” and his assertion that a Nazi government would not expropriate private property. He wrote in his diary: “I no longer fully believe in Hitler. That’s the terrible thing: my inner support has been taken away.”[47]

Goebels was actually quite put out by Hitler not meeting his socialist dreams, but all was forgiven when he got to propagate massive antisemitism instead

Who’s to say it isn’t already?

There are definitely some folks that see “National Socialism” as the party name and look no further. Fortunately, I don’t think it’s a strong majority, but they pop up online.

Dark Brandon’s last act will be to bring about the first female US president. Based.

Link is male, dressed stereotypically female, and Samus is female, dressed stereotypically male. Just a mild chuckle at the “exception that proves the rule” I suppose.

Expected rates were obtained by participating sites using pre-COVID-19 vaccination healthcare data stratified by age and sex (Faksova et al.).

The original paper seems to be far too ineffective a methodology.

That is not an effective control; at least take the same health data analysis from the unvaccinated population. Given that even folks with the vaccine can catch less severe cases, you really need to root out COVID-19 as the cause of those complications.

The joke

I think the best option would just be to pull a list of local pharmacies of the internet and start calling. Or pick the next community over and try them. Hitting up a major city might be helpful, or a small town might not have the population to use up their supply.

The second purpose is to imply that the war is a futile struggle for Ukraine - and further foment anger that it is being funded by “our government” (in the case of most English speaking nations providing funds to them).

I don’t see these ever getting cheaper than a smartphone, and probably a flagship smartphone at that. I think it will be a major blocker for adoption outside of niche contexts and tech bros’ homes.

Yep, car crash safety PSA

I think that’s my personal hold up; I got as far as a free consultation. After seeing the benefits of hiring a dietician to help manage my energy levels, I’m less reluctant because (shockingly) people who do things professionally actually know their stuff.

Shocking he even goes through the pretences.

But what about Thorin, Fili, Kili, Dwalin, Ori, Nori, Dori, Gloin, Oin, Bifur, Bofur, and Bombur?

I would tend to agree that it’s likely an aspect of the reasoning for the double circle; a visual pun. I don’t know enough to dispute the Wikipedia article with evidence, however.

If that is the reasoning, I wish they would’ve done something less ambiguous, like -/c or over-lined 100.
