    Really donald. Mr president. You want generals who are more like the ones who lost. you want losers? If the shoe fits, I guess.

    i wonder how many Germans felt similar to how I feel, which is that the crimes against humanity are injurious but the incompetence is just insulting.

    Like its bad enough that our civil rights are being taken out from under us, the death camps are horrifying, and the political malpractice is infuriating. But the fact that we’re all letting people who are this stupid do all these things inflicts a level of psychic damage I can’t properly articulate.

    He’s not wrong. I think we’d all love to see trump put a round or two into his own head, trapped like a rat in a bunker.

    That got me thinking, could pumpkins get even bigger in low G? If for instance there were sheltered greenhouse on the moon once we have colonies there.

      So social media has been feeding me shorts of a woman who grows giant vegetables. To compete they can’t break and there are a bunch of spots where if they grow too fast they get thin and split under their own weight.

    Pumpkins can vary significantly in size, but giant pumpkins typically weigh from 68 kilograms (150 lb) to over 910 kilograms (2,010 lb), with some record-breaking specimens reaching weights of over 1,278.8 kg (2,819.3 lb).

    What a liar!

      How big are they in volume?

      A ton of water is just one cubic meter, so I suppose it’s still not big enough to make a jack-o’lantern house.

      (Which just so happens to be my only interest in large pumpkins)

      But is that a real biological limit, or can we create an even more nightmarish monstrosity??

        I wonder what growing the pumpkin in a space station would do, the fruit wouldn’t have to be able to support its own weight at that point

          With these massive pumpkins (I live in farm country and we need hobbies too) the single plant takes up pretty much the whole field, and more problematically, drinks somewhere around 200 gallons of water a day once they get big. So it’s more a logistics problem really.

          If I could ever justify throwing a couple grand (I can’t and won’t) I’d love to try growing one hydroponically with a swimming pool as a reservoir.

      Would you prefer French generals? And didn’t the British go to war over Polish independence, hard to say they won really. My choice would be that Russian hero, General Winter.

      The last world war or just the last war?

      The dude who lost the last war was HIM.

      The dude who lost wars before him was Dubya.

      Western media did a lot of nazi propaganda, from portraying them as more competent, disciplined, and technologically advanced than the allies to the “clean wehrmacht” to asiatic hordes myths.

      Its not shocking that the dipshit-in-chief would buy into it.
