Ha, yes I guess I called it before it happened. Honestly I just woke up from a nap and figured it out.
I guess we’ll have to see what Israel does before we can tell the outcome.
I don’t think anyone else is going to anything crazy right now. Trump is likely out golfing and cashing in on whatever investments he made before starting this shit show. Let’s not pretend that he gives a flying fuck about who does what in Iran.
There’s no positive end game in it for him.
If he turns this into a “Look at what you made me do!”-moment, he will have nothing but enemies and they’ll all know that nothing will ever please him, which is dangerous for them.
Thus, their only option will be to assassinate him shortly after. Either by Iran getting back at him with a dirty bomb, or the Saudis getting pissed about the oil prices dropping and making a Diana out of him, or even by some lunatic MAGA who “didn’t vote for this”.
Literally everyone would be out to take him out, and he has nothing to gain from it.
If he realizes this, then no.
His best option is to chicken out. He will claim to have reached a tremendous deal with Pakistan that stopped him from bombing Iran out of his own kindness and generosity, and he will mispronounce all the words.
It’s hidden from view in this picture, but there’s a wider drain pipe in the center.
Most American cities use a distance or block system.
Most European cities use the odd/even system. Each plot increase by two on either side, so one side of the road has 1,3,5… and the other has 2,4,6…
If a plot is later subdivided or more houses are built on a plot, its new addresses will get post-fixed letters a,b,c,d…
Hydro is the OG boiled water.
Sun heats water. Water evaporates. Go up high. Falls down. Turn turbine.
Wind power is a side effect of the same process happening on a rotating globe.
I guess renewables are still cheaper.
At least personally and anecdotally, because it doesn’t happen often, but it has happened more than once, that I have purchased electricity at negative prices due to overflow from renewables, which is a hell of lot cheaper than paying a tenth of a cent per kilowatt hour.
It makes more sense when you’re comparing month to month development.
If you have a perfectly normal child then it doesn’t matter to measure anything and you can call it whatever.
However if you’re in a maternity group and all the other children started pointing at things at 13 months and yours doesn’t, then it might help to remember that yours was born prematurely and you can expect that behavior at 14 months.
Now, you can convert numbers as much as you please, but this doesn’t make sense as 1.08 and 1.16 years. You can say one year and one month and one year and two months, but it does makes sense for everyone in the conversation if you use the conventional method of communication which is 13 and 14 months. Don’t even get me started on Tiger leaps. Those come on schedule by the week.
It’s convention. If you go to a car mechanic to get new tires, you also don’t ask for “big wheels” if you want a 226/40R19.
No doubt. But why does the farmer get the money? It would make more sense for the government to buy the land back for good.
The normal age to stop using months is 2 years.
That’s because there’s a massive difference between a 12, 18, and 24 months old. It makes sense to have and use different references to separate them.
That’s a nice idea, but it would be better if the farmers hadn’t bought that strip of field to begin with.
Farming is ridiculous like that.
Now the farmers are getting paid your tax euros because they once bought it, destroyed it and took no responsibility for it.
For people to demand anything you’ll need a democracy. For people to want universal healthcare they need to understand that socializing the health cost is a benefit for the population.
Add the words together and you get social democracy.
In most countries this is what lead to universal healthcare. In most countries the social democracy parties were founded by labour unions.
Despite USA being first with labour unions, they never really succeeded, because they were violently struck down early on.
Anyway, it’s that simple: Join a union, let the union establish a political party, let the party make universal healthcare. I know that seems very uphill, but it doesn’t actually have to take centuries to do.
When the first unions were formed in Europe, the workers also expected it to be a multigenerational battle, and yet decided to try it in the vague hope that it might eventually benefit their grandchildren. However they were so successful that they achieved the goal within their own lifetime.
Same. The vegan patty has better consistency than their actual beef.
The show “Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries” aired in 1995-2000, so it makes sense if the merch and licensed products are from that period too.
This is then slightly newer than the other stuff on the pile.
The character on the body board graphic might give a clue. I don’t recognize it, but the drawing style of the eye looks like early nineties Disney.
… because they did have it?
It wasn’t universal at the time, covering only the poorest workers, but Germany was the first country to establish a social health care system in 1883. It didn’t work very well during the war, but it was technically still there. Since the war, they gradually expanded it achieving universal coverage sometime in the 1980s.
Too bad for people who are monthly paid.
Trying to censor kids shows isn’t feasible. They’re going to find out anyway, or it will be a massive culture shock when they eventually hear their first swear word as adults. I’d rather take the opportunity to talk with my kids about it if they watch crap.
SpongeBob doesn’t really bother me, but if they watch Alvin and the Chipmunks I always ask them to use headphones, because I can’t stand that shit.
Maybe it’s time to cut ties.
Let the CEO do his business with AI only. Let the developers do their own business without a CEO and without AI.
I get the same feeling when looking at fractals.
On one hand I want to explore everything but at the same time I know it’s impossible to grasp.
Our own Earth has fixing points from man made stuff, so I sort of know what’s where, but then I zoom in on the archipelagos in south Chile or the lakes in Lapland and I get confused again because it seems soo randomly generated.
