The government has no plans to “good thing”

The Leif Erikson one is very subjective though; you could celebrate:

• The first humans to cross the Bering Strait, which is a long extinct lineage
• The earliest ancestors to settle the Americas, whom we don’t even know the descendants of
• The first Europeans to reach the Americas, ie Leif Erikson (Polynesia did it much later)
• The first people to cross an ocean to get to the Americas, most likely Polynesians but possibly Columbus
• The first Europeans to form a permanent settlement in the Americas, ie Columbus
• The founders of the forerunner to the US, ie Walter Raleigh & co
• The founding fathers for founding the US

And plenty more I’m sure you could come up with

Consider being the key word, the article says they’re willing to start a discussion on it, with the majority being against it.

IMO it’s always good to consider whether policies need to be updated though, even if the answer is that they don’t.

And yet the type of woodland in Deadpool & Wolverine appears almost exclusively in Europe, and so (given how much they’d have to go out of their way to find somewhere like that elsewhere), must be European.

If anything I’m generalising that all North American woodland is either primeval or modern plantations, but nowhere have I said that there isn’t woodland like that in Europe.

Yeah there is, it’s in the growth patterns where you can tell the trees were either planted or allowed to grow in an arrangment that maximised yield, are all very similar in age, and historically but not recently regularly trimmed for wood and sticks without chopping them down.

Asia and Africa (other than Japan, which did it with evergreen trees) historically used other materials (mainly grasses/palms), and in the Americas they used different construction methods both pre- and post-colonisation, so you don’t get (as many) old managed woodlands.

Interesting video on the topic

Watch Deadpool vs Wolverine. The entire woods scene was so clearly filmed in a European woodland, it ruins the whole film.

C# allows that. Scala allows that. I imagine a bunch of others do too, it’s just that Python is a scripting language so is simpler in terms of features

Yeah but as I said, legally the war continued for over 10 years after the nukes were dropped on Japan, it’s just the event that led to the end of the war in that theatre.

It also depends on the theatre, the others all focus on Germany so “the allied forces took Berlin” or “Hitler shot himself” would potentially be more fitting, especially given Japan didn’t de jure end the war until 1956

I don’t mind strategic combat (I play Civ, BG3 on harder difficulties) but I hate grinding combat and play those games on easy.

What that means is I don’t play walking simulators. If I’m railroaded into a story, the combat better be damn good or I’m refunding the game or at best uninstalling it. I’d rather pay $100 for something like the outer worlds with a really interactive and replayable story than $20 for something like greedfall where it’s just a tv show with spamming buttons every so often.

When I get ill, sometimes I sleep for 18h straight, through alarms and everything…

You sleep more when you’re ill anyway, but what wakes you up about outdoors is light. It’s much darker inside than out by a way more than you’d think, so that’s probably why you feel awake when outside.

Confidence is the biggest part, but looks count for something. A “10” with no confidence will be less attractive to the majority of people than a “5” with high confidence, but there becomes a point at which people aren’t even willing to hear you out.

Fair enough it’s definitely in the EU’s best interests…

Also warning that Newsfront exists beyond even extreme bias and purely functions to sow discontent and spread misinformation

People of Color Aren’t Invited

Many are of Asian descent—a reflection of the strong presence of Asian talent in global tech

This is something I really have an issue with: they’re trying to paint it as a race thing when it’s a wealth/class thing.

They’re trying to frame it like they hate anyone non-White while I’m willing to bet good money they have nobody, White or otherwise, from places like the Deep South/other poorer places in the US, and it’s just that Latin & Black people are more likely to come from less privileged backgrounds for historical reasons than White/Asian people.

That’s not to say that racism doesn’t exist, it’s just to say that it’s definitely not the biggest factor here. Don’t buy into corporations trying to divide the working class by race, when it’s so obviously a class struggle.

yep, that would pass the criteria

Plausibly it’s trying to minimise land area with some degree of contiguity so it’s not just picking random cities though. India’s economy isn’t much bigger than the 5th or 6th economy while having substantially more territory and population.

The problem is time.

You’re just considering human spaceflight. Keeping humans alive and equally importantly sane for years is very different to sending a probe somewhere, and we’ve been getting better at the latter

The Greens also have a terrible name, they’re a left wing party that don’t particularly care about environmental issues. Meanwhile the Lib Dems just stand for whatever the government doesn’t, which changes depending on who’s in power.

Issue is Hamas are the government of Gaza, and it’s pretty hard to get past that.

Plus the same people can’t tell the difference between Israel and Jews in general so maybe it’s just a lack of comprehension and reasoning.

Unclear, but somewhere between 1865 and 1875, which makes it right around half the age of my parents’ house
