I think that response was more insightful than he realised. Every Extremist planning something should take into account that the reaction might be much more than anticipated. But that also goes for the people doing the reaction. Israel likewise can’t control what people’s reaction to their actions will be.

That’s fine, as long as the corporation does so without the aid of any other entity.

That last part is essential. People learn much more habits from observing people than from being told. Best one can do is be a good role model.

It’s the other way round. Trump repeated again and again and again that the borders were a problem until people believed it and believed it was something important.

That gave him something none substantive to run on without coming up with real policies.

They’ll probably try to argue the war powers act “clock” resets with the name change: look, totally different operation, we have another 90 days… And if they get away with it, expect a new stupid name regularly.

And then you have the heretics that load up viper in emacs to use vi keybindings =D

Some would argue it misses the topic, but I’ll offer the Unix text editor wars. Vi vs. Emacs is pretty much the epitome of a pointless religious war in people’s favourite activity, though for some that’s obviously their job.

Why do I mention it? Because most would just look at it and say: obviously none of the above, what are you even talking about? But those in the know have been heatedly debating the topic since at least the 80s… (I’m team vi for what it’s worth)

That’s what frustrates me about most of history. History books talk about glorious leaders and their conquests and all I see is “Gangs of New York” writ large. And conquests are to me just organised armed robbery, organised at such a scale that people are given uniforms.

Essentially only modern rule based international politics elevated war over gang turf quarrels. It’s a shame it’s in the process of being abandoned.

Nah, the reason is the Byzantine law enforcement structure in the US. You can’t just say “the police” because they have so many officers running around enforcing parts of the law that are not police. FBI, DEA, ATF CBP, ICE and god knows what else are state agents, are involved in law enforcement and are all arguably not police.

So to get a proper generic term, of course they add another TLA to the alphabet soup.

They said/did what now o_O Wow, just wow…

I see where your confusion comes from. You think you have a pancake there =) To me that looks more like a Austrian Kaiserschmarrn. Delicious, but how are you supposed to put a spread on that and roll it up?

Though your point stands that pancakes are just close approximations of proper crêpe. =)

Surely, that means if the politicians fighting for this break one of the commandments they will immediately resign, right?

Hasn’t always worked. Otherwise intel would have died in the 80s and Microslop would never have made it big.

Germany also had a ton of oil based central heating. Most of those systems are going to transition to wood pellet heating. Maybe a little also to heat pumps. But common wisdom currently still is that heat pumps require suitably built houses to make sense. I wonder how much if that is just fossile fuel propaganda and how much is technically true.

Hm, I wanted to respond it seems more like the 500€ note, but it appears to not be produced anymore since 2019.

Those noone really wanted to have to deal with.

You are thinking the wrong place. Not Waco, but Tulsa 2.0. The Tulsa race massacre is more what would happen, unfortunately.
