Ah, clearly the world is your ouster.

I know nothing about the subject but doesn’t it require a massive infrastructure investment and time that Ukraine can’t afford right now? I mean even Zaporizhzhia is controlled by the invaders, though I’m not sure if it’s there where they would produce fissile materials. Furthermore, Ukraine’s remaining allies are staunch anti-nuclear proliferation.

Maybe, but what I miss from shareware is that I would get a game (e.g. Quake, Duke Nukem) from someone and be able to play without restrictions the first chapter.

In fact, most shareware games had also multiplayer available so those were very common in school’s computer “labs”.

Freemium apps, in my experience, have too many ads and fiendish tactics to my taste (Though I know it’s not all of them).

I miss shareware.

Japanese budhist monks use black for their clothes as it simbolizes purity, or as black being the most pure color. In very few instances, they may wear purple or gold, but that’s due status and a latter addition.

In a funeral, only the deceased would wear white, I don’t remember why though, but for a while wearing white was in bad taste.

Wearing all black is also common for the Catholic clergy, and for a long time most brides used black for their wedding dress: https://kentuckykindredgenealogy.com/2014/12/13/history-of-the-black-wedding-dress/

As I mention above, the central power in SA needs us to keep other regional powers at check and the Wahhabi in power.

Even if government officials where involved on the attacks, that would be against the direct interests of the Saudi Crown.

In all cases, 9/11 was stated by the perpetrators to be used as an attempt to take the US out of SA (sacred land for Muslims) and every one had allegiances with either the Muslim Brotherhood (and through it Iran), Al Qaeda or, like in Bin Laden’s case, both.

This guy though fell from grace and started his campaign against the US during the Iraqi invasion, when the king and government decided that his plan of fighting with faith wasn’t as sensible as US tanks and planes.

In fact he tried to convince the Saudi scholars to issue a fatwa against the US deployment, but they preferred to keep their necks.

What I’m trying to say is, the SA government is a cruel, despotic and brutal regime but had little to no benefit from aiding in 9/11. Did they fuck up? I guess royally so, but I don’t see why would bite our hand.

Then again, I know nothing…

Whom in the Saudis wanted to take such a risk? I mean the Wahhabi needs us to keep the cash and weapon flow going if they want to keep in check their rivals.

I’m not disagreeing, just want to understand their motivations.

After all, Bin Laden was not Wahhabi at all, at odds with the Royal Family and had an upbringing at Muslim Brotherhood camps, which at the end of the day are managed by Iran, one of the main powers in the region and the biggest threat to SA.

In that regard, intentionally or not, Bin Laden strategy would weaken SA, which fits with what the Brotherhood wanted and ultimately fits with Iran’s regional objectives. But I can’t see how someone in power would want that unless they had pretensions to the crown, or rather following the Iranian philosophy, a possible republic’s government.

Ghostbusters is probably the single movie I can quote from one end to the other.

That and maybe Robocop.

Watching it for 2 minutes doesn’t count.

And you call them burgled hams despite the fact they are obviously grilled.

This really made my day. I’m a big fan of the ontogeny-filogeny thingy despite it often ends up disproved (e.g. recapitulation).

The other interesting theory, and the one I knew, was as a mechanism to empty air from the stomach, aiding milk consumption in mammals.

For a second, I thought there was a LineageOS fork named “LiberaceOS” and now I’m sad there’s none…

I had a job offered based on the fact that if you know bash, you can translate that to powershell, as translating knowledge is easier than learning from scratch.
