    On a side-note for those waiting for a declaration of civil war in America - this tweet got me thinking about how Vietnam was not technically a war... as it was never declared. and how, where I am and what many historians are now referring to as "the ulster civil war" lasted 30 years and killed thousands is still mostly known internationally as "The Troubles"...

    "The troubles" I mean FFS

    • You know what? I never thought about it that way. If it's true, -1 our cynical vampiric overlords, +10000 whoever in the IRA came up with that.Nairn
    • Oh, my bad. My memory was that there were no deaths, just a shitload of destruction. 2 deaths. https://en.wikipedia…Nairn
    • More than 100 people 'hurt'.
      I earnestly thought they warned ahead, did it at some unforgiveable early hour and no one was hurt.

    • so, not to give credit to the 'ra... just if folks think that deaths change anything... nope! just profits.kingsteven
    • Hmm, a distributed WAH culture kind of protects a bit them in future.
      Business is going Cold War-era distributed Internet. Evolution, baby!
