Im always up for some older classics

Been playing some Battlefield 1942… legally… and Battlefield 2 has multiple options for playing actually legally.

I miss the era where it was fun, rather than min/max games

The uneducated and the uncaring

Can I be tired of how relevant it still is?

No, I literally mean our country size and your lines on the map.

Unless you are making a joke, in which case we may be that thick.

You got NZ pretty close considering we’re about as thick as your lines

Id argue that would be great for the 80s, but rail would probably suit us better for the north island and much of the south.

Easier to automate, can include non-costal towns and cities on a more regular basis, and can be electrified much easier. What would be even better is a hybrid system, especially one that could mitigate that pesky cook straight.

What else are you going to do? Save for a house who’s price rises faster than you can earn money?

Don’t be stupid.

He’d leave genetic material in a cone shape about 15m long.

Yes but its probably the same causal factors - people being placed in command of vessels they don’t actually understand how to operate.

We always were a maritime nation until sailing became closer to flying and programming.

NZ and ship autopilot just aren’t working together well are they?

No, buts its definitely recommended and advised.

Some one needs to play some crusader kings or EU4

Evidence based prediction

Damn squid, is there anything your family group doesn’t do.

And for the record, id still call it OC. Its not your photo, but you posted it first so it is “original”.

It could drive up domestic production, however there us a good reason we import, which is similar to your last point.

Bad example, but its the same reason you “import” Mexican workers - their skills and work ethic, along with willingness to work long hours for low wages. You aren’t going to get hundreds of thousands of Americans to decide to work in a sweat shop, or on farms, or doing handyman work for the same wages.

I was going to mention the low cost of a life in China, and the lax H&S, ethic and environmental regulations, but America is trending that way too.

No, the first page is how it introduces inefficiencies into a supply/demand equilibrium, resulting in a lower quantity supplied and at a higher price.

No one who every studies economics, even in passing, would even consider another country paying a tarrif for something you buy. The concept is just… what?

Don’t interrupt an enemy when he’s making a mistake

Handles and foot rests are different colors.

Very confusing as someone who IDs port and starboard

Similar thing - aparent wind shifts the wind direction forward. As such, how close a boat can sail to the wind decreases as the boat speeds up.

I was wondering what that was
