Nah, the current argument is that the rich will just up and leave. So there will be even less breadcrumbs taxes to go around.

My father told me, back when there was a US base two villages over, that whenever MPs showed up in local bars to drag misbehaving soldiers home, it was best to throw yourself to the ground. They weren’t coming to mess around.

I see trouble on the way

Because GoT is more recent and probably more popular?

With .ml around it’s better to ask

You serious?

Because Porsche must have had quite a bit of foresight in 1964, when the first model of the 911 series was released.

Now that’s quite a hot take. Various Felines are native to almost every part of the world, except, i.e. NZ.

The overpopulation is the issue. Not their existance.

Then they start hunting for sports.

Cats are an invasive species in NZ, which has a lot more small critters living on the ground because there are no native predators to them.

You have? Cause I haven’t.

We are both right, though I didn’t express it correctly.

Prince Phillip adopted the name Mountbatten, which is English for Battenburg, but he is of the House of Glücksburg.

I assume you will be delighted to learn that “Windsor” actually is just a cover name for Saxe-Coburg and Gotha because in 1917 having a German house on the British throne didn’t seem right.

Edit: Totally forgot that Mountbatten is also just a German housename in disguise.

I could have been on either of these 2 trains (most likely the REX). Like this, I just ended up on a later one with 170 minute delay.

Have you bought your lottery ticket yet?

“Kein Bier vor 4” or no beer before 4 PM as we say in Germany. But given that it’s past 4 PM somewhere all the time …

Ukrainians aren’t aiming for electrical energy. They aim for oil refineries mostly, which is Moscow’s cash cow.

Si, senior(ita).

*Hanibal ante portas.

I recommend Carlo Masalas latest book “If Russia wins” if you are interested in how such a small scale invasion and it’s political fallout might look like.

The gist is:

• Take medium sized Baltic city, preferably with Russian minority and stop.
• Wait for a NATO response.
• If coalition forces arrive fall back behind border and go to damage control: “Lol just a prank, bro”!
• If none arrive watch NATO tear itself apart because Article 5 is worthless.
• Go wild in places like Moldova, Georgia and finally the Baltic’s proper because who is going to stop you?
• Profit

I don’t think we should fight fire with fire. IMHO the way forward is complete political and economical isolation and containment of Russia.

Step one is sanctioning any form of business with Russia and pressure neutral states via secondary sanctions to do the same. Yes, this means breaking up BRICS. Revoke any visas not related to diplomatic missions to make sure even the average citizen understands they are not welcome with this behaviour of their state. Side note: This does not mean turning away people seeking political asylum. As expansion of both earlier points expand seizure of assets of influencal Russian figures.

Next either finally give Ukraine what they need to take back their internationally recognized territory or directly intervene with troops. Push the Russians out of Ukraine, draw a big red line on the border and add some “Stay out” signs for good measure.

Thirdly drastically increase support for countries such as Moldova and Georgia which are under heavy pressure from Russian interference and pave the way towards EU membership if they so desire. Yes, this will be twisted into another “Russia is getting surrended” spin and guess what it is true: Russia is getting surrounded by people who are fed up with their bullshit.

Removal of sanctions gets tied to multiple factors. I.e. reparations to Ukraine and removal of senior political leadership including and foremost Putin from office.

which is illegal to do as a juror

As far as I can see in the examples on Wikipedia, it is not unless it can be proven the juror intentionally uses jury nullification. The listed 1996 case hinged on the juror saying something to this effect in a secret jury deliberation. However, the case was dropped because this information was not admissible in court, as these secret deliberations are … secret.

Chill. The dude apparently ‘painted’ a lot more than just swastikas and had other issues as well. The swastikas are the clickbait because ‘Nazi=evil’.
