You just need to adjust the output and input sizes. Do to like… physics. It is easier to add heat to a system than to remove it.
To be fair, most the soviet stuff was well made in ways lots of modern stuff just isn’t. Like up untill the very recent period we didn’t have any space flight capacity but the old soviet stuff was still going strong.
No, that is just a listing of all the diffrent explanations I have heard. I suspect they all play a role to a greater or lesser degree. My personal idea is that slavery was the thing. It would never be profitable to spend the money to invent a labor saving device when there was effectively infinite cheap labor. They didn’t have the metallurgy to create high quality machine parts and the industrial design and manufacture ideas were invented for a long time yet. Their mechanical engineering was better than ours till like the 1900s. So it was all bespoke work. All expensive and kidna delicate. So you wouldn’t want to pay the expense of a labor saving device when you could just buy a few gauls for the money.

Like, the Roman’s had the steam engine they just couldn’t make reliable high quality parts. Further they didn’t know a rational economy was something they should have or could have wanted.
They should have been
To be fair, both guards were tired from doing a bunch fo online shopping suddenly for no obvious reason
Funding the IRA is one of the one things anyone has mentioned here that I might give a pass.
China needed them because they wanted money from the west. If they hadn’t we would have done a cold war to them long ago and they might not have been strong enough to handle it. Because they had some billionairs we took it easy on them for a while and now they are strong enough to resist our coup attempts. So it wasn’t that the oligarchs class is good for anything. They just needed to be part of our system for self defence.
I feel like thr hippo just has a higher ring IQ. Like, rhino has got the nose but I think the hippo would just controll the pace of the fight so that it couldn’t come into play
