  1. The point was- amphibious assault <> ground invasion. I was being a bit over the top pedantic, as pointed out before.
  2. You use ships in a ground invasion? Are you even trying? I mean... If the subject is what is involved in deterring china from invading Taiwan, I think being accurate about describing how that would be accomplished would be important to useful conversation.
  3. Still can't tell. Here's a hint:. What type of land mass is Taiwan.
  4. At this point I'm not sure if you're being intentionally obtuse or you just don't understand the words you're typing.
  5. There's no such thing as a ground invasion of Taiwan.
  6. You're still doing it lol. It shouldn't be that hard to read the sentence I put in quotes and understand my objection. It's very narrow and specific which is why I put it in quotes.
  7. Just because you keep saying it doesn't make it any more true. There would be next to no overlap in a venn diagram of "weapons we need to replenishb in american stockpiles from having sent them to Ukrainiane" and "weapons that serve as a deterrence to China doing anything". I took issue with the sentence I put in quotes. You seem to be taking issue with things no one has said.

  9. Quote someone who said that stockpiles aren't important.
  10. You said: "Yeah, that’s the problem. We need to restock our supply to deter/counter China" In response to an article about American stockpiles being depleted. And then proceeded to prove why those things don't connect, with a side of condescension.
  11. This. I hate working so I automate everything and get paid a lot to do it.
  12. "do your own research" is the last whine of those who can't support their declarative statements. Bro.
  13. Fascinating. Tell me more of your deep thoughts on how we're "expending anti aircraft systems" and how that relates to deterring China from invading Taiwan.
  14. Yeah I don't think you're deterring a Chinese invasion of Taiwan with American stockpiles of artillery shells.
  15. What land battle would we be having with China that would require artillery shells?
  16. I know what apis are and how they work lol. I've been writing, consuming, and complaining about stupid implementations of them for 20 years. (Really Aruba networks... Cookies in what is supposed to be a REST implementation??) Your answer was good though, tshile, thanks for the info.
  17. I'm unfamiliar with the Twitter apis. Are they used to both search and post? And I'm surprised they have no free tier. And those prices per tier are stupid. Even Google has a free tier on their maps api, for example.
  18. A quick googling of the salary floor indicates the floor doesn't work as you describe.
  19. Tag seems unlikely- don't they have to put the full tag amount in escrow as soon as it's applied?
  20. Sometimes a phrase from an article sends you down a wonderful internet rabbit hole like https://www.app.com/story/sports/outdoors/fishing/hook-line-and-sinker/2015/09/09/fish-mullett-haircut-bad/71876088/ And I also totally pictured "migrating mullet" as a caravan of Pontiac fieros and 80s trans ams rolling into a truck stop.
  21. A modern tank isn't a Fiat. No way you're getting a crew of 4 battle ready in it in 2 weeks. That's ridiculous.
  22. The squirrels finally captured him.
