If it’s vulnerable to interception, it means Ivan has to throw S-300s at it…and that means less S-300s for Ivan…

I’m sorry you had that experience with S1. The S1 does not do the orders though. S3 produces orders. S1 processes entitlements. It’s a group project.

The way that RC orders work is so convoluted and nuanced that I ignore that rage bait. Even so, I never get too upset with the “29 day starter” order. If the mission goes 27 days, but started at 60 day orders…Joe ends up getting the green weenie and a debt that takes most of a year to get sorted.

One more troubleshooting question. Was the charger plugged in that whole time? (If it was, unplug and let it sit for 1-2 hrs) If that doesn’t help, I have zero other useful ideas. I hope it works out!

A couple years ago, the founder of Patagonia did some sort of “philanthropic“ measure donating a bunch of his money. It was hailed as great, but a slight dig into it realized it was a tax haven scheme. It was along those same lines, it looked like he was giving it away.

I would posit that eugenic thinking and fascism contain an unbreakable bond, given that they both have strong in and out group ideas. The goal of fascism requires eugenics and the end result of eugenics creates fascism.

I give her my pass, because I am not a paragon of virtue, and sometimes ideologically inconsistent. Beyoncé falls into that too. Hell, if the Eagles and Don Henley did it, them too and I’m a total Lebowski on the Eagles! But they didn’t get rich off of others labor. Maybe that’s where my line is?
