There was a case where a single German tank destroyed over 30 of these things in one go before it was too damaged by the T-34s to keep going. [02:28] IsambardPrince But the problem the Nazis had was they'd build one of those stupid Panzers, it cost a fortune, it was a gaz guzzler, then it would just get out there and break down or suffer damage and you couldn't field repair it. [02:28] IsambardPrince They couldn't build them as quickly. [02:28] IsambardPrince So losing one of them hurt. [02:28] IsambardPrince But when they did work, they could definitely inflict damage. [02:29] IsambardPrince Technical superiority doesn't matter muuch when your enemies are cranking out 10 times as many tanks. [02:30] IsambardPrince The British were getting the American Sherman tanks and just putting a bigger gun on it iirc. [02:30] IsambardPrince The standard one on the US tanks was not impressive. It was difficult to penetrate thick armor on a Panzer. [02:31] IsambardPrince If you could get that bigger gun on it you were more evenly matched. Armor not as good, but fast. [02:31] IsambardPrince You just had to find a weak spot like tread or try to use a high explosive shell and hit under the turret and hope to jam something.

[23:12] IsambardPrince So it's moral relativism. [23:12] IsambardPrince Insurance companies take and take, and then they spend a lot of money trying not to pay claims. Like the insurance investigator who snuck into my (then) 90 year old grandmother's nursing home so he could ask a woman with severe dementia if she thought she needed any help, and when she said no, they stopped paying. [23:12] IsambardPrince People in their 20s who are healthy likely don't think about pieces of shit like Brian Thompson a lot, but people who get older and start needing more than an annual flu shot wish all these health insurance execs would die painfully of anal cancer."
