I actually know how to use my computer. I let it do the work for me. Keeping up with RWE is marginally more interesting than the tedious stuff I've been doing all day. Hence, I set my computer to finding things.
As for you specifically ... shrug. You could disappear tomorrow and I'd not really notice.
SAGAN: We are releasing vast quantities of carbon dioxide, increasing the greenhouse effect. It may not take much to destabilize the Earth's climate, to convert this heaven, our only home in the cosmos, into a kind of hell.

Wankers...
But I noticed that you failed to answer the question:
Quote:It would do you good IRL too, not just online.
I mean, this a kind of a rhetorical question so you don't have to answer it, but you constantly bitch about people being ignorant and not making much sense. So why don't you follow your own oft-repeated diatribes and maybe study up a little bit before you start venting?

Presidential elections are coming up in Turkiye in May.
Erdogan is running for re-election. So far, he's been an unreliable partner to both the USA/NATO and Russia, playing one off against the other to expand Turkiye's role and therefore his personal power (and family fortune).
Turkiye straddles the Straits of Bosporus and sits between the Mideast and the eastern Mediterranean. It also has the largest army in NATO.
And bc Erdogan has been tilting towards Russia/China lately, the USA passionately wants to replace Erdogan with someone more reliable.
Upcoming elections and natural disaster are a perfect oppty to engineer regime change in Turkiye. Thanks to Erdogan short sighted and corrupt rule, his government may not have the economic and political resilience to withstand their inflation crisis and natural disaster.
I feel sorry for the people of Turkey and Syria.

This isn't the first, second, or third building collapse in Turkiye. As I recall, many building collapses in Turkiye, India, Bangladesh ... even Florida ... have to do with poor quality concrete. Too much sand, not enough cement.
It has long been rumored that Erdogan's "economic miracle" was heavily dependent on the construction industry. It was also rumored that Erdogan was getting kickbacks from the construction industry, which was lightly regulated. Good engineering practices, building codes, and quality control not followed.

That's what's going to follow here when you put a bunch of Diversity Hires in the unions.

What an explosive grain.
I wonder what caliber this bean has?
