It came out sometime after FireWire 800 but before Thunderbolt 1. IIRC, it can provide data transfer speeds up to 1.5 Gb per second, which at the time, was the fastest connection available before Thunderbolt came out, which could provide data transfers up to 10 GB per second. Although, the technologies are different.

Also, I spy that FireWire 400 port ;)

Yeah, I had a friend who kept a tarantula. It was a dick.

Both of them absolutely were. That’s not what I’m arguing here.

I didn’t just see one interview. It was dozens of interviews over the last 20 or so years. If it was just one piece, I would probably agree with you (as I have clearly stated multiple times). And I’m sure there are members of the IDF who are not there willingly and do not support its goals.

But I have a preponderance of evidence which supports my position.

My point is, again, that IDF soldiers are far more loyal, willing, and supportive of the socio/geopolitical goals of Zionist Israel than soldiers of the Wehrmacht were supportive of the Nazi Germany.

The identity politics of being a Zionist are far more… all-encompassing then were the identity politics of being a Nazi.

Stop defending Nazis just because you are extremely ignorant of historical facts and contemporaneous attitudes.

Yes, your explanation is more succinct. I was just trying to add a bit of historical context and comparative analysis.

Probably. I’d like some further analysis on that, but I am definitely inclined to agree with you.

Wrong. They were sworn to Germany, and nothing else.

The vast majority of them also joined so they didn’t starve to death. And in the second half of the war, it was forced conscription. They said what they had to say not to get shot in the head. While I don’t doubt that many, even most, were loyal to the Nazis, a lot of of them were not. a great many joined because they had no other choice.

It’s a historical detail that is worth mentioning

I love this show more than most I’ve ever watched. But there’s something I just can’t get past— How the hell does Jones keep getting cigarettes? Where TF do they come from? For all of the decades after the plague that she lives/works at the facility, where do they come from? Because, after 30-aught years, she would have smoked all of the cigarettes in her immediate vicinity, requiring multi-day trip for scav parties (which she also doesn’t have) to go hunt down more.

of all of the crazy things in this show, this is the one without a rational explanation given in the show.
