It's been like 25+ years and that's one of the best commercials I ever saw.
And I used that technique many times.

Are you really not able to read?
If they’re being bombed with a focus on their energy infrastructure then decentralization as they rebuild would take that strategy away.

They don’t have access to their inventory because Boris sold it for vodka.

I’m pro-nuclear.
But building and relying on nuclear power in a war zone with both sides trading artillery and missiles is… idiotic.

Seems a good opportunity for a decentralized approach using solar and wind at the local level.
Russia doesn’t have enough missiles to cripple that.

Like a home construction company firing people based on how few nails they've hammered.
Who needs an architect? Load bearing schmode bearing.
Foreman? How about Oneman?

Just a bunch of fancy lads.
Not that the U.S. is much better.

HBO's Rome is a great show worth watching. Kind of like game of thrones, but with some basis in reality. They take a lot of liberty with things but it can give you some basic understanding of that era. But just like GoT it's amazingly well cast & acted, even a few future GoT actors are in it.
Season 1 follows Caesar from Gaul to his fall.
Season 2 covers the resulting Triumverate & eventual civil war.

Reply to comment by mctacoflurry in TIL for the Untouchables Brian De Palma casted Bob Hoskins in case De Niro could not appear. De Palma mailed Hoskins a check for his contracted fee of $200,000 with a "Thank You" note, which prompted Hoskins to call up De Palma and ask him if there were any more films he didn't want him to be in. by KongoOtto
