They’ve got nukes though, and plenty of conventional fire power (compared to Ukraine when it was invaded).

They need to invest in a non US lead command structure as that’s all using US tech and personnel.

What year is this? This was a scare back in the 1970.

Un-fortify the wheat now!

They shouldn’t be uncomfortable. Make sure you’ve set them correctly.

Did you send in the Human fleet to defend the Citadel from the Reapers, or did you hold back ensuring Humanity had the biggest fleet after the attack?

Hitler’s generals we’re largely good generals. Many came from the Prussian school of war.

The Allies didn’t try to assassinate Hitler because Hitler was causing so many military blunders by thinking he knew better than his generals and overruling them.

British Private Schools:

Fagging was a traditional practice in British public schools and also at many other boarding schools, whereby younger pupils were required to act as personal servants to the eldest boys.[1][2][3] Although probably originating earlier, the first accounts of fagging appeared in the late 17th century.[4]: 23  Fagging sometimes involved physical abuse[4]: 23–25  and/or sexual abuse.[5] Although lessening in severity over the centuries, the practice continued in some institutions until the end of the 20th century.[4]: 23–25

GW strikes again :D

Is that right? I hadn’t heard that.

The discussion of nuclear power, much like the discussion of communism, is met with entrenched positions on Lemmy.

Break them up!

Ahh yes the: we can’t have self signed certificates for security reasons but also can’t open up the environment to the web, and we dont have our own CA server, trifecta.

Solution: awkward, manual, certificate import process from a 3rd party vendor.

This was my gut feel. Like the “Trip Wire” forces NATO members deploy along the Russian border States.

Why are tetrapacks so good?

I assumed they were terrible as laminated paper can’t be recycled?

As I write this I start to think this might be one of those things I learned in high school that might be total BS.

What happens to a steam account when someone dies? Its not like Steam does a lookup against a deaths register.

If the password is handed on, is the account auto deleted after 120 years?

If someone dies at 20 does the account live on for another 100 years?

I get the legality aspect, but how is this handled in practice?

I don’t think total accumulation of wealth would be a problem in itself IF it was taxed properly.

If I was in charge I’d do the following:

1. Simplify the tax code and remove exemptions.
2. Set a threshold for inheritance tax, say $5m, and tax anything above that at close to 100%.
3. Setup a department to review and adapt to tax avoidance strategies I.e. billionaires taking out loans to avoid paying themselves in dividends, which would have been taxed.
4. Make the tax code progressive e.g. you pay more tax the more you earn. Set this up for capital, income, pension etc. Tax it all at the same level.

I think this provides enough of an incentive to work hard but removes the inter generational plutocracy issues.

Equality of opportunity and all that.

P.S. In my opinion, the accountancy profession should not need to exist. Rules should be simple enough for an average person to follow.

Hear me out, this isnt a flame.

The word liberal has lost some of its historic connotations.

I am a believer in Economic Liberalism, broadly defined as;

Economic liberals tend to oppose government intervention and protectionism in the market economy when it inhibits free trade and competition, but tend to support government intervention where it protects property rights, opens new markets or funds market growth, and resolves market failures.[2]

Genuine question: Which party do I vote for?

As I see it, none of them are championing economic liberalism.

Note: before someone replies with: what about climate change, inequality etc. These are market failures that Economic liberals believe should be fixed by government.

As I see it, liberal economics is politically dead.

I was thinking about this. Can we crowd source add hash markers, in a similar way to how Sponsor Block opperates but with hashes instead of time stamps?

Lol, I bet that was an awkward night.

Any brand to recommend?

Thanks for the help!

No noticeable difference with window open or closed. No noticeable difference in hot or cold climates.

My partner sleeps fine so it might be something else.
