Sure, and if we’re dragging out historical wins to score points, we can sit here all day trading inventions like baseball cards.

Automobiles? Germany. Jet engines and the WWW? UK. Radio? Italy (and yes, Tesla gets a nod too). Satellites and the first man in space? Soviet Union. Solid-state theory that made electronics possible? Mostly European physics.

China gave us the compass, paper, and gunpowder. India gave us the number zero and early surgery. Japan revolutionized consumer electronics and manufacturing efficiency. France had photography and hot air balloons before the Wright brothers ever left the ground.

Point is: past contributions are global. No one country owns progress. So unless you’re planning to live off 1950s prestige, maybe let’s not pretend history is a scoreboard that settles today’s reality.

Past glory doesn’t pay for today’s bill. If you want to compare what other countries have done in the past we can be sitting here for a long time.

Trams on average do not drive too fast. I would imagine that bees would easily be able to evade them or even be bumped out of the way.

I’m going to look into it. Thank you.

I never would have thought that a random post would chance my world view. I am genuinely stumped.

Could somebody please explain to me how somebody can not think like this? I always thought this is the normal way to think. There are people who don’t think like this?

This is just pure delusional. They wouldn’t crash Air Force Gold with him on it. They would do it without him on it, as a warning. He’s too easy to use, why would anybody with money exchange him for a potential ‘difficult’ president?

They found the new Josef Mengele?

In all these overviews I would really like to start seeing the EU grouped as well.

Direct as in personal. As in being in the room.

Direct source.

Beginning of 2024 volvo managers from EU had a planned visit to volvo US that they were not looking forward to. The reason was that volvo US was very vocal about how pro trump they were because he was “good for business”.

Installed mint on an older computer I had so my oldest daughter could have a pc for school. She has had zero problems using it.

To me it seems as if the plan is to make it worse for the average person, up till a point that it is almost unbearable. Then spin the narrative blaming the other countries for the situation. Get the base riled up (history has shown that that is quite easy to do). Declare martial law and “expand” American territory.

-> No elections during war time?

Ah, just thinking out loud here. Probably overreacting…

He will be pardoned before it all starts.

I was going to say to have your cake and eat it, but with the price of eggs over there I’m not really sure they could.

Parental leave, sick days (unlimited), 10 national holidays, and 52 vacation days for me. And I am European. Edit. And two days telework a week.

Dome keeper. It’s a really fantastic game.
