  • It's an old saying. The Empire had colonies all over the world so at any point in time it was day for at least one colony. Therefore the sun never set on The Empire as a whole.

    The joke is making fun of that old saying, pretending it means there is no night for the British isles and all the sun is causing the temperature of the isles to increase.

    I hope that's enough explanation to remove any humor from the joke.

  • It does seem the power of the judiciary will be challenged quite soon.

    It will probably be with a tweet saying "Make me. You and what army?" and the courts will need to rely on the US military choosing the Constitution over the Commander in Chief.

    May we all have the fortune to live securely in less interesting times. I suppose it is our duty to make that happen.

  • I agree it feels very slow, but identifying the correct action and then building consensus around that action takes time. Once consensus is built it is very stable though. That is supposed to be the biggest benefit of democracy; stability built through coalition.

  • I assume probably nothing for both modern tanks and WWII era, but for different reasons.

    I think the WWII era tanks basically shot slugs, so hooting a bullet at a much bigger bullet would probably not do much, at the very worst it triggers the firing mechanism and the tank fires normally (but prematurely).

    Modern tanks fire much more complex projectiles that contain explosives, so there is the possibility of triggering the detonation mechanism early.... But for robust battlefield reasons the detonation mechanism is disabled until after firing. So that is also unlikely.

    Now take all of this with a grain of salt, this isn't the War Thunder forums.
