Re: Poll: Putin and Ukraine
I think the invasion is about the concept of greater Russian, like the empire assembled by Peter the great. Putin wants it back. Absolutely. When Putin says that the Ukrainians and Russians are one people, he means that Ukraine doesn't exist. While the Soviet Union frequently repressed Ukrainian cu...

Re: Justice
So being murdered by a complete stranger is exceedingly rare. 2000 people being murdered each year in the US is not something I would call "exceedingly rare". I know of people who have been murdered by strangers. https://www.statista.com/statistics/195327/murder-in-the-us-by-relationship-...

Re: Another Barge/Bridge Collision
Let’s go with the definition! After all, if we can make up definitions on the fly, we can have a little fun. In the Navy, we call “floors” the “deck” So by the conventional logic that Max has on things carrying cargo, a ferry is actually a barge. Ergo the bridge which carries “cargo” is also a barg...
