Why do you think that? Dive bombing hits generally within a few meters, even during WW2 where it was used against tanks. Why would a guided rocket be that much better? Where would it get the target data from if it doesn't have a human to guide it?

Obviously, there exist guided munitions with higher accuracy (<1m) but that's not the majority.

There is also AppImage Launcher which works nicely for me. It automatically integrates AppImages into the DE (e.g. search and start menu) and a few other nice things.

Absolutely! Unfortunately, we are talking about the US. The article even says explicitly:

"Various U.S. presidents considered and approved billions of dollars in arms sales to controversial nations during his tenure — for instance, to Saudi Arabia in its ongoing war in Yemen."

So it's not the first time he's about to make a very questionable choice. Though I guess he knows some details that blur the lines.

It does sound a bit weird. On the other hand, if he can influence the choices positively, he does have a point. If not him, someone else would take the job. I would have drawn the line somewhere else but I can understand where he is coming from.

And the fact that he resigned means that he has and likely had some moral compass guiding him.

I meant what actually happened is illogical to me. So I'm simply a bit confused and understand that there might be some nuance that I'm missing.

And I think an accidental leak is absolutely possible, it's only that a conscious effort by China and the USA is unrealistic.

Just so you know, not only them are reading your response. I appreciate your response.

And as someone that isn't working in the field, I have to admit that it is very illogical that they would conduct gain-of-function research on coronaviruses in a country previously hit by a coronavirus outbreak while violating safety standards. Obviously that's hindsight but shouldn't this be very obviously a bad idea? It's not like the existence of a virus like COVID-19/sarscov-2 was completely unexpected.

The only thing I could find is an old-school keyboard by IBM. I guess that's it and OP just likes the hacker vibes of using that kind of keyboard?

Totally agree, though I haven't really participated that much on Reddit. Seems like any disagreement is quickly framed as trolling over there.

Sure, no worries! I haven't been disappointed yet by responding to downvoted comments so I will keep doing it :)

Just another similar metaphor: Power hungry. Not the stove kind but the dictator kind. To be honest, there are quite a lot of body related metaphors, e.g. drowning in trouble, blinded by ambition. I guess it comes down to evoking some strong emotion.

Consider another association with thirst: Desperation. In the mind of the author porn consumption is negative so anyone consuming porn is doing this out of desperation, despite knowing better. It essentially describes people being controlled by their base instincts. And thus this site is a trap, luring people against their will.

That is how I would interpret the word thirst in this context anyway. It's not about a critical need, it's about thirst being irrational and highly compulsive.

Yeah, I think it's also very impressive how they have different styles but are still very similar in some ways. Most noticeable with Arctic and Antarctic Oscillation.

And "The rain formerly known as purple", "Coalescence" and "The raindrop that fell to the sky" are just soooo good. Could listen to them on repeat (and have done so (: )

I can also recommend FTL, Risk of Rain and Risk of Rain 2. Really good OSTs, I'm listening to all of them regularly. They've also got great gameplay! But they're rogue-likes so basically no story in case that bothers you.
