I will note, while I find my namesake’s story interesting, I do quibble on the benefits of bombardment by multiple-reentry thermonuclear warheads.

Yeah like, I can understand a hesitation around being directly involved in a war effort, but mate once you’ve opened your system up to the military you’re kinda already there.

For any other language? The people who speak it decide. For specifically French? They decided 90 should be “four times twenty and ten” and thereby forfeited their linguistic rights.

Doing the same thing over and over with an expectation to see differing results is also science.
