The US does not use stone. You can thank the queen’s men for that.

As a machinist, though, I’m coming around to metric being the superior standard for building and engineering. Its easier to keep track of everything instead of constantly converting from decimal to fraction and back. Figuring out taps and drills is WAY easier too.

Holy shit I almost took you seriosly. Then I read the part about how “them” created AIDS lmfaoooo

And I thought I was a good shitposter. Whew. I am thoroughly outclassed.

People villify nuclear weapons to ludicrous proportions, and that was kind of my whole point. Would you, as a thinking and feeling person, if given the choice, choose to be instantly annihilated by a nuclear bomb or live to be poisoned over decades? I’d choose to meet the sun, personally, but I’m always astounded how many people think the poison is somehow the lesser of these evils.

Now tell that to your high-school English teacher when they assign you a research project.

It was willing to accept a conditional surrender, which was not an offer on the table. The options were unconditional surrender or invasion and pacification. The projected cost in lives of that operation was in the millions. The bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined didn’t even kill 1/10th of those projections.

My source is my own post where I asked for a comparison between the health effects of the bombing of Hiroshima vs the contamination of half of a Vietnam war. The answer i reviewed only explored the health effects of the hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings. That’s half of the assignment. Less, actually, when you consider the comparison between the two was the entire point to begin with.

Did that answer your question or should I try again with a crayon diagram?

Unfortunately I’m going to have to grade you as an F on this project. You have only completed half the assignment. Great job cherrypucking your research though! I see a bright future in business and marketing for you!

Ayo do me a favor and chart the long term health effects of being vaporized by a nuclear bomb at hiroshima vs years of agent orange/abandoned minefields/ abandoned chemical and munitions storage somewhere like Vietnam circa 1970.

Please show how the nukes are worse.

We had this kid who basically cosplayed as Johnny Cash every day. Black slacks, dark button up shirt, guitar like a security blanket, whole 9 yards.

One day, he decides this isnt weird enough. He smuggles in a handle of vodka and jack Daniel’s in the trunk of his car. Goes out at lunch and domes the JD in less than 15 minutes. Goes back in and pretends it’s just business as usual. That lasts exactly until 5 minutes into the next class, which for him is PE.

Cue projectile vomiting, incoherent moaning/screaming, and he shit his pants. Ambulance was called, then the parents, then the cops.

Classic Dio.
