Will second La Colombe.
Test Kitchen is also good, but I prefer Colombe.
The Roundhouse has solid food and an amazing view.
Kirstenbosch is lovely if you’re into plants and gardens.
This seems pretty important if true.

It means pay no attention to the blissfully democratic northern part of the peninsula.
Also, at least at my program, orbital mechanics dealt exclusively with non-atmospheric flight. Atmospheric flight, and assent-entry was a series of separate classes.
1.5 - 3 degrees of temperature change isn’t going to drive a significant change in atmospheric density.
I can think of several engineering ones…? Orbital Mechanics, for example
There’s actually 4 flight test aircraft, and a number of production aircraft, that are awaiting certification before delivery to customers. So, get it now while still rare…
Ever heard the adage “amateurs speak of tactics, professionals talk logistics?”
You’re clearly the former.
You clearly don’t understand the point. In any army, only a small fraction is involved in the actual shooting. The logistic and materiel aspects are critical. While the soldiers shooting may have been Soviet, it wouldn’t have happened with a logistics chain to equip them from the western allies.
What the actual fuck are you talking about? Seriously. We’re done here.
Now that is an embarrassing argument. No one was reconciling with Hitler, and NATO was and is, defensive set up after the USSR decided to effectively occupy, wait for it, Poland, amongst others. Hitler was bad, Stalin was bad, even if Stalin helped defeat Hitler.
…this was about whether Stalin should be at a table in a comic set in 1939, you keep arguing it’s unfair because of how much the Soviets did years later and Oper. Paperclip, and I’m the one shifting goal posts?
My argument contributions has consistently been logistics matter, not just body count.
German losses were predominantly after the US joined, and no one can trust the Soviet record keeping. 400,000 vehicles, 14,000 aircraft, 13,000 tanks, 8,000 tractors, 4.5 million tons of food, and 2.7 million tons of petroleum… from the same site if that’s only 10% max, you’re smoking something.
The point is they didn’t do it alone. 2/3s of Russian trucks in the SWW were western built. The bulk of casualties, but the Soviets relied on equipment, mostly from the UK and US. Your singular talking point completely misses that. It wasn’t the USSR alone.
You keep mentioning that 80% number as if doing so will make it true, and operation paperclip as if the soviets didn’t do the same. Arguing with a Stalin-stan is about as boring as a Werabo or an Elon-fan. No actual thought, just repeating poorly informed, incomplete talking points. We’re done here.
None of this, while also sweepingly incomplete in story, is relevant to the comic, which is trying to make a political point about being on the wrong side of history in 1939. Soviets attack Poland, wrong side of history. Pretty clear and simple. The rest of this is what-aboutism.
*magnanimous, not magnificent
The Soviets were so magnificent stabbing Poland in the back and occupying half of it. Absolute nonsense.
Soviet contributions to defeating the Nazis doesn’t change the fact that Stalin and Hitler being at the same table in cartoons referring to 1939 is just fine.
First level? You haven’t gotten beyond talking points. Operation Osoaviakhim and Alsos say hi back, and that isn’t an argument.
8 million dead Soviet soldiers doesn’t change the fact that the the soviets and the nazis both conspired to carve up Poland… you can obfuscate with strawmen all you want.
Your whole argument is ahistorical and retrospective.
So, if Stalin wasn’t close to Hitler, how’d they secure the border, as you say? What about the escalating commercial agreements to supply goods to Germany?
Chamberlain being at Munch doesn’t mean the entirety of the West was close to the Nazis, given that was the pretense for the UK to go to war.
Heavy lifting, in Studebaker trucks…
The things you’re missing while is it is possible for Stalin to have both been working with Hitler in 1939-1941, and then help to defeat Hitler. And that the defeat of Nazi Germany was very much an Allied effort. The USSR didn’t do it alone. Perhaps you’re still in middle school though.
That whole theory is very after the fact, and countered by the series of escalating commercial agreements signed, where the Soviets helped Germany get around the blockade by the UK and France.
I’d like to know how buddy got in this spot to start. Those turtles look like they’ve done this before. How do we know this isn’t some sick reptilian hazing ritual?
There is a difference between treating with, and helping to quietly re-arm Nazi Germany and then agreeing to split Poland with them. You could argue with some ahistorical aspects of this cartoon, but in 1939, Stalin was close to Hitler…
If you’re arguing that the projection of soft power and influence that comes from
Iraqi Sesame Street, or promotion of the arts is bad, you didn’t understand the assignment. The value of USAID on avg. is that the US has to buy less bombs and ships. But go on stanning for Musk.
No. You’ve proven you don’t understand the assignment. Feel free to move along now.
