Did they ever legitimately get lucky on the first or second try with something?
Good question. Trying to think of some. Penicillin I suppose, potassium bromide for epilepsy (they thought it was caused by excess wanking, but the potassium bromide does actually have anti seizure activity.) I think benzos were found by accident looking for antibacterial drugs, spilling something and noticing that the mice or staff or whatever really chilled right out.
This is why they do stuff now like screening against whole libraries of molecules - Tim Haystead’s work on this led to HIV drugs.
However even if you find a drug and know it works you’ve still got to get it though the trial process, with various phases to show safety, efficacy etc. That takes the best part of a decade (does not apply to Covid vaccines ofc… and it won’t apply to whatever they want to Inject you with next.)
There’s a really good article waiting to be written to answer that question. ‘Lucky accidents in pharmacology.’
 
Most Republican voters at this point are either speed limit liberals (SLLs)
I think you have a third class besides the boomer and SSLs, you also have the disenfranchised people who come from both the left and the middle, and are a product of the left completely losing its fucking marbles. These are also the people who came because "fuck the libs".

At this point I would say the right is everyone not on the left because there really isn't much common ground anymore and trying to meet in the middle will get you kicked out of the left or shot.
 
You're expecting a dude in 1919 to construct a correct great circle arc for 6 separate flight paths on a deadline for an article about some dumbasses flying a boat just to show that they could? Those particular ones don't even curve all that much
I mean, its almost as if they were still figuring some things out in the aviation pioneer days. And its absolutely insane that early aircraft didn't have the tank capacity or mechanical reliability of a modern aircraft, thus limiting their effective safe range. And its fucking nuts that they had to use things like sextants and shortwave radio beacons for communications and navigation. Crazier still that the location of available shortwave and weather stations also affected flight plans. Its also just quackin' crazy that planes in the early 20th century didn't just run on pixie dust and farts. They actually had to refuel the damned things, sometimes!

I'm sure @StudMccool has carefully considered all of this and more, stuff that us poor smoothbrains could never even conceive of! He is assuredly fully informed about all of these things and he's come to the only logical conclusion.

Its all sheer pottery! And I'm with you, @StudMccool. This is obviously a global conspiracy of some sort, and you are the hero we need to unravel it all. Godspeed, you magnificent bastard. Bring those lying sonsabitches down.
 
Someone explain this to me. Why the actual fuck do tech bros want so desperately to create technology that will bring about our very destruction? Like why? How many tales do we have through out human history about the troubles of playing god? And yet techbros thing that somehow they can have this technology but not have any of the negative consequences that it will create. Like hello retard,women give birth becuase that’s the point of a womb, humanity will not be destroyed because of the government but becuase some tech bros wanted to create horrors beyond the human mind.

Unless women lose weight and stop being cunts this is unfortunately the future.

On the one hand, the jeet is probably fucked, which is good.

On the other hand, Ohio is now one step closer to becoming a blue state.
 
He also talked about one time going up against a horde of monkeys that the Chinese trained to throw hand grenades and then unleashed on his platoon. Throwing grenades from up in the trees.
He had to have been shitting you with that one. Like sure, monkeys can throw shit, you can give them something to throw and that's right in their wheelhouse. But pulling the pin on a grenade before throwing? Can you even imagine the process of training a batch of monkeys to execute that reliably?

I've heard in the early stages of WW2 (like before it actually started in Europe) Japan was trying to put plague fleas into artillery shells to spread disease in China, but I'm pretty sure it didn't work.
 
He really is the only justice with a functional brain. God do I wish he was 30 years younger so he’d be around longer
Why do you think that we're trying to perfect the George Droyd fent reactor technology..
just look at the pussy in Indiana that will vote no to redistrict the state because Trump called Walz a retard.
That's not why he's doing it. The Dem Congresswoman whose district would be Gerrymandered away gave that dude's wife some near $2,000,000 contract. The tard baby is just an excuse.
 
Learning about the modern history of Indochina makes me appreciate just how much damage the Enlightenment view of nationalism and nation-building really are. Western powers were seriously just decided that whatever was the geopolitical situation was before Europeans invaded was straight-up the eternal basis for a Westphalian nation-state.

You really had one kingdom invade another, brutally conquer lands in the 1800s, and then in the 60s the UN would just be like "okay those conquered lands are now the inherent core territories of the conqueror and anyone who objects is a heccin COLONIZER (unless they're Soviets, Chinese, or certain Arabs)" and thought that would be the basis for international stability.

We really, well and truly don't hate nation-building enough.

(Also sorry if this is incoherent, I'm drunk posting lol)
 
My father who was a Korean war vet and did the full tour as well as survived the Chosin reservoir campaign used to have the most bizzare stories of the shit he ran up against. He would tell me how they would regularly go up against battalions of 10 and 11 year old kids that the Chinese would stick into combat. I'd say, "Dad - that's rough. You killed kids?" and he'd counter with, "What the fuck did you want me to do? They were shooting at us!"

He also talked about one time going up against a horde of monkeys that the Chinese trained to throw hand grenades and then unleashed on his platoon. Throwing grenades from up in the trees.

The shit asians do to try to win a war goes beyond the pale.

Of course if those stories are true about the Navy using dolphins to plant bombs on boats, then we have our moments, too.
Soldiers kept aiming for adult center mass but hit headshots instead

Unit 731 was developing a balloon system to spread that over california. It didn't work out, but the horrors that General Shiro Ishii did to develop it lived on via operation paperclip. Kinda crazy to think that covid breaking out of a lab in Wuhan is a tertiary effect of unit 731 performing vivisection on chinese peasants.
 
Looks like the IDF is getting shoah’ed again

It bothers me that because this is sandniggers versus Israel, those are heckin' poor innocent children. In any other context, there would be universal outcry about the war crime of using child soldiers.

Those "Readers" are the type who probably either never heard Vietnam veterans talk about how the Viet Kong sent children as young as 5 to run up to American soldiers carrying hand grenades (blowing themselves up to also kill Americans), or didn't believe them.

Walk into a warzone with guns (real or fake), expect to be treated as a combatant. They're not checking ID's.
I have heard some stories from vets were stationed in Korea.

Imagine you are stationed on the South Korean border of the DMZ. Now imagine a young Korean girl, somewhere between 9 and 11 years old, advancing on your position. As she gets closer, you see she's strapped with explosives. She refuses directions shouted in both Korean and English to stop advancing. Through your rifle's scope you see that she's crying, and has a "please don't make me do this" expression on her face. Then you hear the order. "Take the shot." You do.

From the changes in tone of voice and facial expression of the vet who told this to me, I do not believe he was embellishing or making shit up. Even an autistic retard can tell the difference between a psychopath who doesn't care, and a man who believes he will never deserve God's forgiveness for having to kill a young girl.

Shit during GWOT the locals would use kids to try and steal anything not strapped down from convoys. They knew Americans won’t shoot unarmed kids (both because RoE and cause if they did CNN would crucify them). There were many inventive non lethal options that were invented to keep the fuckers off the trucks. We used BB pistols and slingshots.
