I disagree. Some of them are actually bad.

He also doesn’t know what a merchant is, and just refers to himself as a sellsword.

It’s not a surprise, really. The proposal was sponsored by the Russian Federation and includes several talking point that they have since actively used to justify their fucking invasion of Ukraine (I.e. Nazis working to disrupt democracies cross-border).

You would be correct: https://digitallibrary.un.org/record/1654458?ln=en&v=pdf

At the [48th] meeting, the representative of the Russian Federation made a statement.

Also at the same meeting, statements were made by the representatives of Kyrgyzstan (on behalf of the Collective Security Treaty Organization, composed of Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, the Russian Federation, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan), Belarus, the Russian Federation and South Africa.

With games taking place in both Mexico and Canada, does that make the entire US into flyover state?

MRT machines are much larger than the devices shown here.

One of them was in Springer Nature’s Environmental Science and Pollution Research, but it has since been retracted.

The other journals seem less impactful (I cannot truly judge the merit of journals spanning several research fields)

Sure, that sounds bad. But have you seen the height of the horse they are sitting on?

Both iPhone and Android have ways to disable biometrics until the next unlock via password/code.

Iirc, on iPhone, it was pushing the power button 5 (or 7?) times. On Android, long press the power button and select “lock”.

This site not only shows you historical data on steam, but on 3rd party sites and other launchers as well (fully configurable). And it’ll send you a mail is any game in your wait list meets any of the criteria you set (e.g. under $10, lowest historical price, etc.)

North Macedonia

It’s because the pictogram doesn’t require knowing French or English (depending on where in Canada you are)

I’m not saying that the Democrats would fix things. But considering you unfortunately are in this god cop, bad cop situation, I don’t see how risking the bad cop to be in charge by not voting for the good cop is reasonable.

You also don’t stop it from getting worse by not voting for Kamala Harris (barring better options). Fascism later is still clearly better than fascism now.

Not good, just better.

No, but at what point would you start calling it bolognese then? It’s every meat/wine stew from Bologna bolognese?

The poison apple thing is based on works of Galen, who, seeing how he lived in Europe in the 3rd century, has never seen a tomato, nor spoken to anyone who has. But he did describe a poisonous “wolf peach” that happened to match a tomato, so obviously that must be it.

Tbf, most of these would kind of suck in a salsa.

Which is weird, considering the dish was only invented in the 19th century, so tomatoes were absolutely available.

Italian cuisine in general has way less tradition that people think.

The US always had terribly low resilience in the way their government is structured. The “checks and balances” were pretty great in the late 18th century, but their protections are paper thin and assume good faith.

Several countries have iterated upon their constitutions in the last 300 years, often to close exactly the kind of vulnerabilities we can see exploited in the US right now. For example, because of what the Weimar republic’s article 48 was used for in 1933, the German president no longer has those powers.

I understand that the US constitutions had had amendments, but as far as I can tell, the fundamental flaws across several core institutions have never been addressed. Until they are, the US can not be a trustworthy partner for any endeavor longer than the next election cycle.

This sort of ranked choice voting would be a pretty good solution to the issues with the 5% barrier.

It would also empower small parties like Volt or ÖDP, especially in terms of party funding (which is tied to election results).

Although tbh, BSW (which are openly pro Russia, so their ranked choice might have been AfD) and FDP (whose understanding of their oft-touted economy is on the level of a second semester econ major with a trustfund) not making it into Parliament this time is the best thing about these otherwise pretty terrible eleven results.
