AES?

I'm not sure how you plan to do that in a way that can't be defeated by an angle grinder.

It's been well reported on that Russia doesn't work like that, with junior officers unable to use initiative and the whole system being very slow to respond to changing events. The reason it operates like this was shown when they did try having a more independent unit, which resulted in the Wagner Group mutinying.

That's standard in Western militaries. It means units aren't paralyzed by unexpected circumstances while they wait for communication to go up and down the chain of command, and it improves resilience if communications or senior officers are incapacitated.

Trump needs lead water pipes to get votes.

The electoral college exists to give slave states more votes.

Plus, rural folks are not major emitters, so it doesn’t really make much sense to even try to find meaningful emission savings there.

"On average, cities and large towns produce about four tonnes of CO2 per capita, compared with more than six tonnes elsewhere in the UK"

"between 1.5 to 3 gallons per mile", for those wondering

The classic "Buy a reputable brand, cut costs and coast along on the reputation until you can sell off all your shares and move on to another company". Bonus points for using legalised embezzlement share buyback.

Insert that FBI stat that 3/4 of terrorist attacks in the US are far right, 1/4 Islamist and 2% far left.

More often dictators take control of the church and use it for propaganda.

I'm skeptical about the 10 number, fruits and vegetables are plants.

People talk a lot about the genericisation of brand names, but the branding of generic terms like this really annoys me.

I'll use the example I first noticed. A few years ago, the Conservative government was under criticism for the minimum wage being well under a living wage. In response, they brought in the National Living Wage, which was an increase to the minimum wage, but still under the actual living wage. However, because of the branding, it makes criticising it for not meeting the actual living wage more difficult, as you have to explain the difference between the two, and as the saying goes, "if you're explaining, you're losing".

R loves to make voting harder under the auspices of “fraud prevention”.

They say, while their supporters are the ones committing all of the fraud.

They're against anyone else indoctrinating children.

Crimea and Sevastopol both had majority votes for independence in 1991.

The submarine dock was in Sevastopol, which is Russian-occupied Ukraine rather than Russia.
