/me eating popcorn as a nano user

Don’t worry, you can say Luigi Mangione here.

My younger cat taught me to play fetch with her. She finds a receipt or other small bit of paper, brings it to me, and wants me to crumple it into a ball. Then, after throwing it, she brings it back and drops it at my feet. This normally continues about 10-20 times until she gets bored or loses the paper.

Incidentally, I guess? Still a powerful neoliberal female leader. This was written based on Thatcher.

Peasants that survived the black death didn’t have wealth. Still resulted in a massive increase in their bargaining power.

Don’t you think she looks tired?

I have a sneaking suspicion that that Palestinian carpenter wasn’t just a commie, but also a Jew!

I missed the mention of Verizon. Good catch!

How do you know this is the US, rather than UK, AU, NZ or a British school in the EU?

EDIT: Looked at the original file linked here in the comments, and it makes reference to “HCPSS”, which according to a Google search means this is in Maryland. Your assumption seems to have been correct!

Kill switches are almost entirely a misconception, as far as I understand it. What’s far more dangerous with US defence products is reliance on them for spare parts, repairs and upgrades. Piss off the US in some way, your very very expensive aircraft no longer gets spare parts, plane can’t fly safely, it’s functionally useless.

In Uni I ran Gentoo as my daily driver. It was stupid, but I learned a lot.

Trying and failing to get a working desktop environment, using IRC on the command line to get help from people who knew what they were doing and could advise a dumb kid like me, following their advice and getting a working DE after a reboot was the most hackerman I ever felt. I was convinced I was real hot shit. In actuality, I’d followed the advice to tweak the kernel config to get working drivers :))

Visigoth, Vandal, what’s the difference? They still can’t speak proper latin. Every time they open their mouths, all I hear is “Barbar, barbarbar!”

There’s also the issue that the US needs to sell bonds at higher and higher yields just to convince them it’s worth the risk.

As far as I understand it (not an economist), that might lead to a debt spiral.

Pigeonometry in my ass?

My advice would be to avoid moving to lemmy.world, if you do plan to move. Not because there’s anything wrong with lemmy.world, but because there is a mildly concerning amount of centralization towards that server, and it would be better to spread out potentially popular communities a bit more.

Out of the instances you listed on the thread, literature.cafe seems like the best fit if your community does decide to move.

Customs union and single market aren’t the same thing. Customs union means no tariffs, and a unified tariff policy on those outside the union. Nothing more, nothing less. There are active discussions about doing this.

Single market is joining the EU, with regulatory alignment and free movement, as you quite rightly say.

Most USs in the iron don’t use dryers

Not only did he support the neonazi, the neonazi returned the favour by endorsing him.

Joining the EU right now doesn’t make sense politically. Far more useful and effective to work on getting a customs union in place. Most of the benefits without most of the headaches.

They could simultaneously work on regulation alignment, and then they’re off to the races.

Switzerland or Finland?
