You shouldn't.
especially if you run it yourself. If you don't have a loaded sawed off sitting near your server rack in case the machine spirit within grows too strong, you aren't servering correctly.

On the one hand, it would be the national guard shooting at the zombies, and not regular military.
On the other hand, I'm from Ohio, and know what the national guard can and will do...
I guess my point is they'd still shoot, they'd just miss a lot?
I encourage people to steal non-physical things all day every day.
Sail those high seas!
People seem to think that the UN is a military force that is supposed to go in and secure democracy around the planet...
It's basically a chat room for all the countries to talk for everyone to hear. That's 99% of its job. And it does it quite well.
The problems occur when individual members decide "nah we don't give a shit about the UN right now" and usually it's the big ones that ignore it. Russia, US, UK, etc
Honestly there isn't a legitimate reason.
Tldr "tradition" and insecurity, probably.
There was once a issue with Cuba a long time ago, but that got resolved and the US just decided to keep punishing Cuba as, in my opinion, a warning to other neighbors who would dare oppose it. "help out our opponents and get smothered"
The only reason it's continuing is because of weak administrations thinking that admitting people who ran the country in the past were wrong somehow makes them or the country look weak.
Honestly the only thing that seems weak to me is continuing to kick someone who's been down for decades but still manages to find areas to flourish and be better than the "superpower" that's kicking it.
It's a simple case of "if we hold this, the opposition will have no issue ordering their soldiers to blow it to shit and causing a major disaster that will affect countless people for generations to come" vs "Eh. You go ahead and 'hold' it for us. We will be back when you run away trying to catch up to your retreating front line
republicunts torching ballot boxes
Media: lol funni fire nothing wrong here move along
one non-citizenry tries, unsuccessfully, to vote, and it's caught immediately and prompts further investigations
Media: Here's 147 people all telling you how the democrats are rigging the election, and 27 of their closest relatives get on the phone to say they heard from their cousins step-sisters aunt's coworker's college roommate that there's TONS of fraud all over the place. Stay tuned. This is all we will be covering for the next week.
I have a WILD idea on how to reduce the growth of that statistic to 0.
What if, and bear with me here....
What IF.... We stopped sending Israel weapons and armor.
Wasn't trying to call you out for being wrong or only partially correct, just think it's neat all the stuff they considered when designing and testing it.
The Abrams can run on just about anything liquid and flammable. It's not gonna be happy about it, but it'll go.
I think it was designed by pakleds...
Honestly if MILITARY applications are what kicks renewable energy and mass storage into high gear, I won't be surprised, but I will be disappointed.
But hey, improvement is still improvement and if a military organization sees renewable as the future, they're gonna try to make sure they get there first. As long as whoever gets there shares the progress with the rest of the world, I'm okay with it.
But who am I kidding, it's gonna be China or the US and the rest of the world won't see shit for decades due to suppression of research and technology that would allow for similar specs to be achieved privately...
... How credible is my aluminum foil hat guy?
I must admit though, it'd be cool to see an armored combat battery sliding across a field to quick charge a tank that died mid-battle. 10 seconds of charging to get it up and running, and the battery moves to the next low power thing. I'm imagining a semi-autonomous hot-swap of a battery compartment and eventually recharging like modern airplane mid-air refueling. Insert Rod A into Slot A and wait a little bit. The faster they want it to charge, the more they'll dump into R&D.
Ah, an optimist!
