There have been ships made of concrete.

Or a cheap plastic/pressed steel footstool.

I know someone who does this in Mew Zealand with power walls.

He is retired and mostly just a hobby.

Do you mean ‘not unusual’?

Europe isn’t pulling its weight in defence spending.

But if it tries to it’s also a problem?

> my house eats 100kg of rice in a month

What’s the maths on that? A cup of rice would seem a fair bit for a person for a meal. A cup is about 200g.

That’s 500 portions a month. 5.5 people for 3 meals a day?

A lot of Asian households are multi-generational, so the maths definitely checks out there.

I'm putting my money on more people (8-10) but eating less than 200g per meal (1/2 cup uncooked, ~100g for most people)

EDIT, just saw sibling, that's impressive for 5 people, unless the dogs eat a lot of rice too.

It fluctuates but on average maybe 5 humans and 10 dogs.

You give rice to the dogs, too?

Yup - family dogs eat what we do. Funny story - my mom's dog will not eat rice unless there's also fish (leftover bones will do). Rice+fish - bowl is cleaned up. Rice+meat - only the meat is picked and eaten.

That’s an amazing volume.

And Putin, and Orban etc.

The story seems plausible but the source is as poor as they get.

Trump facts change so quickly.

It’s what’s driven nearly the entire AI boom.

> That's still not ok, still targeting civilian settlements and infrastructure which is of no military value. Stop making excuses.

Bridges and power infrastructure - any thoughts on what the US targeting them would mean?

This was started by the US and Israel illegally, the moral high ground doesn’t exist.
