I’m not sure this is the right thread for this - maybe there is no “right” thread - but it’s a fascinating answer to the problem of the super-billionaires…

Do tech billionaires dream of shared abundance? We should probably just tax them

“ROUND THE OUTSIDE”

It’s also where Eminem described two trailer park girls to go.

This makes me feel old.

Why on earth are they not rushing hardened aircraft shelters into construction!?!?

edit - concrete is less sexy than fighter jets…

[machina]

The USAF is pursuing Agile Combat Employment, i.e moving stuff around. Shelters are antithetical to moving stuff around. The USAF is actually pouring a lot of concrete at Guam, but not for hardened shelters.

Guam is seen as a bit too close to the action hence why the US is now going to base 5 or 6 B-52’s at Tindal on a rotation basis after the Australian government spent a heap on upgrades. Probably see more US gear and troops moved here in the next 5-10 years

Tindal

Just had a look on Google Earth, thats an impressive Rabbit Warren they have got going there

[Alan_Noonan_10]

So when the US and Canada come to blows, who does the government support? If it’s not Canada, cross words will be spoken.

It’d better be ■■■■■■■ Canada.

Not sure if posted as i don’t come in here often

UN votes to adopt new world map to reflect Africa’s true size UN votes to adopt new world map to reflect Africa's true size

Was already mentioned in the US politics thread… US was the only country to vote against it.

Does the fact that Eminem stole that line from Malcolm McLaren from decades earlier help?

And Buffalo Gals was from 1844 apparently (a bit before MM’s time)

Supervolcano with 'force of thousands of atomic bombs' found under Lincolnshire

Please hope to God this thing doesn’t explode under me

[rossoneri]

Should be fine. They built pompeii on an inactive volcano

[tassiehammer]

Supposed to be a true version of the world. It’s pretty close as well, has Tasmania on top.

[rossoneri]

I can not see a reason why you would vote against this.

What is the big deal if we do a map that truly reflects how the earth is shown?

[tassiehammer]

Just as you got promoted as well. My old mum loved Lincolnshire. She was evacuated to there from the East end of London when the blitz was on and went back several times in later life.
