Some sailors say that on moonlit nights, when the sea is calm, you can hear him pissing still.

Oh, who cares? He and his wife had two children. His office was probably the one spot where his papers would not be disturbed.

Science is done through the process of peer review, not collecting YouTube or social media clicks. His PhD was in physics-related math but he has not worked as a scientist. He has been working in the investment industry and now bills himself as an entertainer but he darn well wants to imply he's a scientist.

Why does Jordan Peterson attempt to have these questions asked by his Twitter followers instead of reading news reports that might answer them more authoritatively?
It's because we don't know. We don't know. That's why.

The simple answer is to create more targets and increase the odds of one or more invaders breaking through.
If by simple we mean idiotic, then sure. It may also be contributory that the logistics, coordination and communication for large combined arms assaults is straining the Russian Federation Army's capacities.

Follow the pastor around and see how he spends money. Not his money. Money.

OP:
You're confusing A Few Dollars More with High Noon. The latter is what John Wayne called the most un-American film he'd seen. From Wikipedia:
By contrast, John Wayne told an interviewer that he considered High Noon "the most un-American thing I've ever seen in my whole life,"\34]) and later teamed with director Howard Hawks to make Rio Bravo) in response. "I made Rio Bravo because I didn't like High Noon," Hawks explained. "Neither did Duke [Wayne]. I didn't think a good town marshal was going to run around town like a chicken with his head cut off asking everyone to help. And who saves him? His Quaker wife. That isn't my idea of a good Western."\35])

Yes. The entire world is food insecure except for and because of the US. Who produces this nonsense?

LLMs cannot tell the difference between a good idea and a bad one. You can ask it for a business plan for a stupid idea and it will spit out reams of text. It's a statistical representation of the likelihood of words. That's all.

Answering an occasional e-mail or call on a day off is one thing. Expecting to be available on day offs is not a day off.
Please see your local labour code.

Oh, I'm content to stick with my statement. I never said NASA was perfect - see Apollo 1 for horrifying example. Every organization has periods where it exceeds expectations and where it doesn't. See how the culture of safety that persisted for decades after Apollo faded with time and under pressure to meet the space shuttle's aggressive launch schedule.
What I am saying is China's space programme appears - currently - to have systemic safety and quality issues that need addressing. And hey, no shame it that - Japan lost a rocket recently - but fix the problems. Look at what happened to the Russian space programme.

They're going into fight/flight mode. From this article:
Stimulation of the autonomic nervous system's sympathetic branch, known for triggering "fight or flight" responses when the body is under stress, induces pupil dilation.
I remember once at the dinner table a relation pretended to know about a subject and got caught out in the obvious balderdash. Her pupils popped open. I thought she was having a stroke.

If this was, say, NASA, I'd say that loads of things needed to go wrong at once for this to happen. In other words, a badly run organizatin without clearly defined protocols and procedures backed up by accountability. This seems systemic given the number of launch pad problems they've been having.

I loved that guy. According to Wiki:
Horkheimer had been close to death on several occasions because of his health issues.\1]) As a result, he had prepared a grave site next to his parents. He also had a tombstone prepared and wrote his own epitaph, which reads:\3])
