From my armchair it looks like he needed to lengthen the barrel to not allow it to go out of alignment at the top.

Folk music is history too
Always loved this song since I was 14 my parents played folk songs in the car. Has more meaning as I age. And the red army was an unexpected delight lol

A sacrifice the economy is willing to make

“As soon as the land of any country has all become private property, the landlords, like all other men, love to reap where they never sowed, and demand a rent even for its natural produce. The wood of the forest, the grass of the field, and all the natural fruits of the earth, which, when land was in common, cost the labourer only the trouble of gathering them, come, even to him, to have an additional price fixed upon them. He must then pay for the licence to gather them, and must give up to the landlord a portion of what his labour either collects or produces. This portion, or, what comes to the same thing, the price of this portion, constitutes the rent of land, and in the price of the greater part of commodities, makes a third”
― Adam Smith, quote from The Wealth of Nations
Couldn’t find exactly where from the book it’s from unfortunately, freakonomics has a good series on him. It was the university of Chicago that perverted his messege

He was against landlord on principle. Even he knew the parasites that would come out of them. Let me see if I can get a quote that summed him up nicely from his book “wealth of economics”

Half-Earth Socialism: The Game
I have been looking for something like this. Started it and like the manage aspect. I like the intent, and a huge plus playing in a browser, available to almost everybody. I feel like this is the kinda thing that could be used to gather enough information to actually do something
Edit: alright it’s got depth and replayability. And a lot of words I’m going to need to look up

good tidbit about high maintenance planes.
If it can’t exist without being premium prices and offering, does that mean this is now a new thing the lower class cannot have? Ability to fly,
Digression, This feels like a disease of costs. They always have to climb, somebody has to be sacrificed to reach these new ever higher luxuries. I see the same in my industry. And I want to slam on the brakes and yell “not that fast”
Perhaps this gave me a glimmer of hope, can a company operate without all the overhead of middle men. As I believe you’re correctly pointing out, it can operate on marginally profits, but the risks are too high. When mistakes are made there’s no room in the books

This is why I watch, for the ideas that repeat through history. I can’t believe someone hasn’t made Frankenstein but with an AI bend

First time I’m seeing this accusation. I don’t suppose you got anything to support this? It’s looks like it’s funded publicly. They are asking for support a lot. I’m actually considering giving them some money. They look legit

Lets discuss the components of Avi's NDP platform in depth
Thank you for this effort. My biggest wish for more proportional representation. That I feel like would help bridge rural and urban places. My biggest problem I foresee selling this is, how do we pay for all these wishes. I suppose it would be the wealth tax. Here’s hoping they can make the math math

Yeah me neither. There must be someone trying to put together something like a new charter of rights or constitution.
