Uncalled for antagonism. Boooo.

This is NCD, so the only appreciate conclusion to draw here is as follows: Crimea invasion imminent!

Looking at your quote they should be allowed passage since the US is not formally a combatant (i.e. belligerent) in the conflict in question.

Replied to the wrong comment?

You'll still want a case even if the phone becomes thicker, so in the end you'll still end up with more bulk?

I wouldn't talk about a meltdown of society here - this is a natural disaster, not the sacking of Rome. In due time help will arrive, people will bury the dead and rebuild. Though I agree it makes you appreciate how we take things for granted until one day they aren't.

Actually even Germany could have had motivation to blow it up. There was strong pressure from local far right groups to re-open trade with Russia, blowing up the pipelines has taken that option of the table. Maybe a bit extreme reaction to a minority group, but still a possible motive.

Curbside parking is a pain, though.

I think you refer to the often discussed "big cough" origin theory of the universe?

No one here is trying to write a treatise on how nations should interact. India is it's own story, don't muddle waters by slinging random and unrelated "but-what-abouts" into the discussion.

I've seen plenty of small "Euro-sized" cars pull fully loaded horse trailers, so I suspect weight is not much of an issue. You need to get power on the road, and for that bulkyness of the frame is hardly the main factor.

You wouldn't believe it, but they routinely haul these over major alpine passes. Works well on climbs, but sharp corners and switchbacks require careful handling, causing everyone else a bit of grief.
