That is absurd. This war is being waged for the benefit of Israel. Even the pussyfooting of the on and off strikes is to force the Arabs to sign on the so called Abraham Accords. O…

No, more like saying that a classic Chinese this is from "Eastern Asia area"

> from the Caspian Sea area That's a funny way of saying Gilan, Iran. The dish was invented by (and is named after) Mohammad Ghasem Khan Vali, the governer of Gilan province.

Thanks. Always good to have a more complete and balanced picture. I did in fact recently read about the infrastructure works in France (and elsewhere) during that era. (Great read …

You really didn't have to share this.

Now I am musing about spider nightmares.

As an aside, N. III's reign seems to have been overall something of a disaster for the French.

It is surprising that you have the fabled MIC on top of the list of the nasties and not the international bankers. MIC is 2nd tier parasite layer in context of unnecessary and cont…

Reminds of Burgess' Nadsat (which deserves its own hn post): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nadsat

(No offense is intended) I disagree with the simplistic model you are presenting, as if "patriots" would themselves deal with the matter of (global) governance in our age in a non …

Why do you think this is only going to be in Europe? This will be the global norm modulo some astroid hitting earth or civilizational crash. The trajectory is crystal clear: access…

I just had a flashback to Eastwood's Hang 'Em High .

Your alfalfa is a red herring. Agriculture encompasses more than a specific crop that we can always legislate against production for export. The data centers will not go away and t…

I am guessing (not asserting) that there is a sort of cap on water used for agriculture. It's possible we've already reached it. (?) So, on the matter of scale: there likely isn't …

OP is a credible poster so I was indeed curious as to why he wrote that. As for my comments -- em dash em dash -- they are entirely by moi.

How can you tell?

Because it normalizes a practice that, while acceptable in context of a well known project with numerous dedicated eyeballs such as Rust language, is not a generally acceptable met…
