To add to this, N Korea also has a huge conventional army, and is a very mountainous country. Lots of soldiers+mountains=very bloody to invade.
This is also why Iran is fairly safe from ground invasion. It's like a gigantic Switzerland, which if you're familiar with WW2 history, even Hitler left Switzerland alone despite kinda wanting to occupy the place. The cost was just too high compared to the benefits, so, y'know, may as well skip it and invade the USSR instead.
This works, but the quicker method for me was to hold the book over my head, out of my line of sight while I focused my eyes on something a little farther away (a few feet away is fine). Then you can simply move the book downward into your field of vision while refusing to let your eyes refocus. It should be blurry, because you're still focusing past it, despite it being right in front of your face. Then just relax and let your brain do the work.
This method got by far the quickest and most reliable results for me, most pop suddenly into view in just a couple seconds.
I think this method works best because you're using established muscle memory to focus your eyes on an object at a measurable, consistent distance, and then just not letting them change. Removes several variables from the equation.
You'd also need to make it immune to the various antibiotics that work on it. Otherwise it's not particularly difficult to treat with modern medicine.
She's got this really in-character vibe here. I wonder if Cate actually is just staying in-character between all the cuts as part of her acting method, or if that suit is just too uncomfortable to be able to relax in.
Not all marine life, just the big stuff. We just added a ton of sugar, fat and protein to the ocean, so I think we're going to see an explosion of microbial life.
Now, with milk being opaque, I think we are going to kill most of the phytoplankton and replace it with bacteria that produce CO2 as a byproduct of their metabolism, so I do think we're going to drastically change the Earth's atmosphere and more or less run out of oxygen eventually, so we are definitely all dead. It's just a question of how long it takes.
Chaotic good is fine if you don't launch it too hard. It's enjoyable to put barely enough force in so that it just slides into the cart in front of it.
It's like bowling.
Just don't launch it from far away, otherwise it could veer into someone's car. Which would be caught on camera, incidentally.
Not exactly a showerthought, maybe better off in a TIL, mildly interesting or history sub. This community is not for real information, though, showerthought communities are for more light-hearted and silly stuff.
How about a space station? Lot easier to keep things livable if you just contain everything. Would probably end up being easier to build a station and fly it out there than try to terraform something that distant.
Ahhh, the Erdogan economic strategy. It's a bold move, Cotton, let's see if it pays off for them.
Whoa whoa whoa... is that a fingerprint in blood? I bet it is, isn't it...? Knowing these guys it's gotta be.
Even when I see Elrond in LotR, that's actually just Agent Smith in a funny costume.
Modern war planners mostly know better than to count on everything going well.
