I put my steel in the fridge and it's completely dried out now

Granted, it wasn't very wet when it went in

It's difficult to quantify, but I think there is a compelling argument to be made - just off of my head, WW2 led to:

  • the fall of German autocracy/restoration of German democracy (though Hitler did kinda break that one in the first place)
  • Italian and Japanese democracy
  • redistribution of wealth/power in Britain
  • the 4th french republic
  • alignment of the European democracies
  • establishment of the UN

That's not actually a viable solution though, in the same way as "deleting Germany" wasn't a viable resolution to the second world war.

Their citizens won't just magically disappear, forcibly displacing them would constitute a war crime, and transferring ownership of the entire region to a Palestinian state is just setting up the dominoes for civil war and extending the instability and suffering in the region.

My last job had not one, but two programming languages they had created in house over the last couple of decades.

One of them was the primary development language for the whole corporation.

While this is still a big number, Russia's oil revenue both from the EU and in total has been massively reduced.

I think it's hard to argue reducing dependency on resources from a frequently hostile country is "harming themselves", especially since Russia has intentionally interrupted supply as leverage.

But they can use that to secure cheap debt, and use those investments as effective capital.

The fact it isn't technically money in a bank account doesn't really matter, because it can be leveraged as if it were

To be fair, they did make a post with an intentionally incorrect title

But they can't extend it longer than the shortest ads, since then it'll affect users after they watch ads too, which kinda defeats the point

It casts him as a 3-D-printed “ghost gun” enthusiast, a practitioner of the martial art of Krav Maga, a seasoned lock picker, and perhaps even “immune” to pepper spray.

They couldn't make him sound cooler if they tried
