That one needs an explain-smbc...

Anyway, looks like "green vitriol" = iron sulfate (so it's enriched with iron), "spirit of hartshorn" = amonia (spoiled beans certainly release lots of this), "brimstone" = sulfur, "quicksilver" = mercury, and "aquafortis" = nitrates (on this context, but also nitric acid - afaik, our bodies can't use nitrates for anything).

(EDIT: yes, quicksilver is mercury, not lead.)

Hum... You take a lot out when you omit the reason most generals didn't like it was because they were already using catapults to throw the grenades...

It's a very C++ thing that the language developers saw the clusterfuck that is stream flushing on the kernel and decided that the right course of action was to create another fucking layer of hidden inconsistent flushing.

Well, if C is a goal then he is even more stupid than he looks like.

She didn't say there are any.

I see. So you are ready to try the "increase all costs" route now...

Well, at that point O'Brian still didn't have suffered through it.

There's an entire UN agreement about traffic signaling.

Round signals with a red border communicate requirements, but without crossing the banana, it's a requirement to eat it.

Blue signals do not communicate information, not requirements.

You can easily go and sail the high seas.

Just the fact that they used constants in a market-changing action shows they have no idea what the equation even means.

(OMG, the abstract on the first reference already says constants are useless to understand the market, without changing anything!)

I literally dont understand what they are doing.

Lol. Did you still expect to?

Anyway, they clearly have no idea what they are doing. Absolutely no idea. But this one seems to be calculated by an academic that used an impersonal objective formula that he expects to zero the trade deficit.

Somehow, it's one of the economists that don't know that tariffs don't have a direct impact on the total trade deficit. Probably, an "economist", but I didn't check.
