Is that Mercator? I'd change the points around which world is peeled randomly, instead of keeping at the N&S pole. Or at least oscillate between various map projections, and stop putting north always up. Depending on what is the goal of the game, and what is the desired difficulty level.

Was a dictator card in? In autocratic states, a person might suddenly lose parts of mobility. Denying access to transportation helps to limit the life choices undesired parts of the population. The mobility access rules are vague - it is safest to agree with the big boy about everything.

The share is up because Elon Musk promised full self driving cars soon. I wonder who buys that, as the "FSD" in present fleet is quite reckless: it happily navigates to a catastrophe, and cedes control back to human once a crash is inevitable. Taking the steering wheel away will not fix all that.

TeSSla used to be the best electric car. It still is the best on some fronts, but safety is not among those. Overpromising and underdelivering "full self driving" together with being an extreme escape room experience when anything goes wrong are the worst parts.

The income statistics must include all the people. Median income for all working people was $48k and median for all working full time was $60k a few years back. This quoting $35k for all but top 1000 is a bit misleading.

Teue. That does not make transitioning to free (as in free speech) software an easy task. It is not impossible either, but requires more planning than simply discontinuing use of Microsoft and hiring a team of experts to manage the transition.

I have so far been using X11 until Wayland is forced on me. X11 is not perfect; for example, remote windows are sometimes slow because of X11 protocol details. Wayland, on the other hand does not support remote windows at all so X11 wins despite being imperfect.

Win 2k with all the updates applied is quite slow. Fresh install with no patches is a mindblowing experience with modern HW. At this point, w2k is not secure anyway, so applying all the patches makes only so much difference.

Onhan se tavallaan demokratian kannalta hyvä, että puolueita on useita ja ne eroavat toisistaan selvästi. Jos koulukiusaajat kokevat tarvetta yhteiskunnalliseen vaikuttamiseen, niin poliittisen puolueen perustaminen olisi yksi parhaista vaihtoehdoista mitä keksin.

The reasoning used by SCOTUS to justify gerrymandering was that it is not possible to know whether that is done for political advantage. When the commander-in-chief demands more seats and redrawing happens off-schedule, where does this legalizing uncertainty live?

Posti ei selvästikään halua toimittaa paketti, ja tietoa panttaamalla työntää työssäkäyvää luopumaan kotiinkuljetuksesta.

The post refers to the organization's web page, and the organization is not going to make announcements like that. I also find it unlikely that Trump would make a public statement saying that his name was crossed out in the first round. However, please share the link to news if you have one.

Regarding the rumors: in wartime, getting objective information is really difficult as there is a shortage of independent observers. Here, when the battle is between Hamas and IDF while majority of sufferers are the Palestinian civilians, questions on accountability are exceptionally hard.

Not really; have heard rumors though. The amount of shipments Israel has allowed through is not enough. If Hamas stole some, they could escalate the problem but not cause it.

Coal was mostly replaced by natural gas, purchased from Russia through the pipes. Replacing that with LNG (similar gas) probably made a lot of sense once the pipes were shut down. [I know that there were also renewables in the mix, that part is off topic]
