Other way around.. a single large nuclear weapon is 2 orders of magnitude less expensive than defensive measures. Attacking wiht the intent to completely annhilate your target is vastly cheaper than trying to defend.

Eggs at my Aldi never went much above $3 a dozen. The cage-free, etc hovered around $6 at the worst (normal is around $3-something)

For reference, that specific case is from 2004. Christopher Van Goethem was Marine security ambassadorial staff and was convicted in a military court martial for obstruction and making false statements. The whole case was porrly handled and the Romanians are right to be pissed. A key piece of evidence that would have landed him in jail for 10 years was the blood alcohol draw but the Marines slow walked it in Romania and he didn't show as intoxicated even though he admitted to drinking that night.

The original OKCupid was the best dating site and the only one that I enjoyed using. It has since been gobbled up by the Match.com behemoth and is now basically useless.

[edit] mixed up Plenty of Fish with OKCupid

The device in the original article is estimated at $3k. That's not a "normie" device, that's a niche power user or someone wealthy enough to hire someone to show them how it works.
