Yeah that’s why the machines are taking artistic jobs now.

I repainted a small drafting table lamp and it took an entire can. (3 cans: 1 primer, 1 paint 1 clear coat) I was shocked.

Then I had to do it again because I didn’t do it right the first time. (Too far away gave a dusty finish.)

How many cans did it take?

NATO ISAF sent troops in January 2002. ISAF took command in 2003.

"Deployed in 2001 – initially under the lead of individual NATO Allies on a six-month rotational basis – ISAF was tasked, on the request of the Afghan government and under a United Nations (UN) mandate, to assist the Afghan government in maintaining security, originally in and around Kabul exclusively. NATO agreed to take command of the force in August 2003 "

2001 or 2003. Your claim that NATO never mobilized in Afghanistan is false.

Article 5 was invoked over a year possibly 2 years prior after 9/11

“The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) declared an Article 5 contingency through a series of resolutions of the North Atlantic Council enacted between September 12 and October 2, 2001, done in response to the September 11 attacks in the United States.”

Nato went into Afghanistan in 2001.

without Article 5

I already linked with sources that Article 5 was invoked and Afghanistan was a NATO mission, not the US and some allies.

NATO has never been mobilized.

Nato was mobilized for Afghanistan.

NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in its history after the 9/11 terrorist attacks against the United States.

NATO went to Afghanistan. France (part of NATO) was so against Iraq that they wouldn’t let the US use its bases for refueling. American politicians officially renamed French Fries to Freedom fries because they were mad at France and other members of NATO did not support Iraq and sent no troops.

This is an ad for Clippy. Trump and his team need it. They don’t know how to function by themselves.

I’m not sure it would be different enough to matter. Otherwise diseases like the bubonic plague wouldn’t be consistent throughout the past thousand years.

Given the hygiene and food safety during the Victorian era, a taco bell burrito would be the cleanest food that child has ever eaten.

Re: let Ada appoint new mods

Because the problem was the admins, not the mods. Ada was banning users without telling the mods. Read the post linked that got a ban.

There will be hundreds of millions of aol CDs in landfills for thousands of years.

I expect in 120 years, kids will re-invent what they think is 1990’s cyberpunk by gluing CDs and bits of broken DVD players onto their hats.
