True, but is also makes them less effective due to the far lower impact speed.
Cluster bombs, are generally ground in and banned by most countries.
A tool for every job.

So you don’t do low orbit.
The effectiveness is quite good. We used similar devices dropped from jets to good effect.

One one of them is a contraceptive. And it isn’t exclusively male.

Vasectomy is a surgical procedure, which is not inexpensive, and not without risks. About 1% of patients have chronic pain afterwords. It isn’t a birth control, it is sterilization, which is not the same thing at all.
Condoms are a major ongoing expense, lower sexual satisfaction, for everyone involved. It seems unlikely his wives would accept this.
Abstinence: major negative heal tho consequences for a man. Not really good for women either. And that doesn’t consider the emotional need everyone has for physical intimacy.

No. Of course not.

Reply to TIL that footage from the video game Arma 3, a military sandbox game, has been mistaken for actual combat footage and has been used in news reports a number of times due to the realistic nature of the game. by No_Comparison2778
It has more to do with the lack of education of reports then the realism of the game.
Not that it is a bad game. But let’s me honest about the cause of the Mistake. Idiots calling wheeled vehicles tanks, for example.

Any professionally run brewery is very much a lab, with everything you would expect from a lab, including lab tests at multiple phases of the brewing process, & chemists and biochemists on staff.

Actually, very few people eat genetically modified foods. Selective breeding is not the same as genetic modification. The only food that has met with commercial success for humans is an apple that doesn’t brown as quick. Things like genetically modified corn are used for animal feed, not people.
Which is pretty sad, considering what we can do, and what we are doing. I think we could improve many things by genetic modification, and would love to see it done on chestnut trees to see them return to their rightful place in American forests.
As to traditionally grown crops, there is a hell of a lot of science involved, and always has been.
You win no friends, or converts, with your uninformed and elitist view that lab grown is in some way superior, and traditionally grown foods are not the process of thousands of years of scientific advancement and study, ignorant of the fact that crops are probably the most scientifically studied thing in all of human history, at any point in human history, including the modern era.

Except it won’t meet the e legal definition of ice cream. At best it will be considered a frozen desert.
The truth is it is Soylent Green.

So disappointing.
I would have expected a country so knowledgeable about memes to have used standard measurements in their space program.
Instead, they used metric, and this happens.
Such a missed opportunity. Hopefully the closer Cooperation with the United States mentioned in the end of the article, addresses this issue in the future.
