That's why we need to do a self-embargo
lmao. Yes, it's one of the first things a visitor to NYC usually notices. Before garbage collection, they just pile up the bags of trash on the street
The majority of other US cities either have alleys where trash collection happens, or there's just more space for bins/dumpsters
Exactly. From a military perspective, Greenland is already a de facto part of the US empire. Trump will probably try to pay off the populace so they vote the correct way in a referendum. It's not like Greenland is full of Danish nationalists
Wall baby, wall!
The bigger difference is whether the system is inquisitorial or adversarial. I'm guessing AES countries are inquisitorial because of the French influence.
The role of public prosecutors may differ depending on the legal tradition adopted in a particular country. Two types of legal traditions dominate the nature of investigation and adjudication around the world: adversarial and inquisitorial legal systems. Common law countries use an adversarial system to determine facts in the adjudication process. The prosecution and defence compete against each other, and the judge serves as a referee to ensure fairness to the accused, and that the legal rules criminal procedure followed. The adversarial system assumes that the best way to get to the truth of a matter is through a competitive process to determine the facts and application of the law accurately.
The inquisitorial system is associated with civil law legal systems, and it has existed for many centuries. It is characterized by extensive pre-trial investigation and interrogations with the objective to avoid bringing an innocent person to trial. The inquisitorial process can be described as an official inquiry to ascertain the truth, whereas the adversarial system uses a competitive process between prosecution and defence to determine the facts. The inquisitorial process grants more power to the judge who oversees the process, whereas the judge in the adversarial system serves more as an arbiter between claims of the prosecution and defence
IMO a more inquisitorial system is necessary but not sufficient for a revolutionary society
The flags. The crumpling. The announcer. It's all such a perfect metaphor for the moment
The combination of Calvinism and cold war conservative coalition-building
I've been playing flightgear, an open source flight sim. It's loads of fun to just fool around with
I've also tried Rigs of Rods, which is a simulator for all sorts of vehicles. I haven't spent too much time with that because it doesn't have built-in joystick support So I need to get a program for linux where I can keymap joystick buttons
With both of the games, I think it would be really fun if you could select a character/pilot, and then use the multiplayer options for a virtual hangout-type thing
There comes a point when not being a climate doomer is just sticking your head in the sand. IDK if we're quite there, but it sure looks close
The energy minister stressed that these discoveries open new horizons for economic development and support the kingdom’s ability to meet local and global energy demands efficiently and sustainably for decades to come.

And yet Joe Biden was no Woodrow Wilson. In 1919, the 28th president suffered a serious stroke; a cover-up ensued; and Wilson’s second wife, Edith, allegedly performed many of her incapacitated husband’s presidential duties. By contrast, whatever you may think of his policies, Biden governed competently behind closed doors. Visitors can attest that during meetings, he commanded every detail and nuance of Middle East policy.
It could be about him and Carmela building a life together in Naples
