Had no problems here on lemmus.org.

tobogganablaze ,

lemmus.org was online the entire time.

Oh no, not an arms race against ... North Korea!

1st class train tickets. More comfortable, more space and no seat neighbour is way worth it on longer journeys.

But I’d rather not contribute too much to that economy

Why not?

tobogganablaze ,

Damn, you'd think weed dealers would be more chill, lol.

tobogganablaze ,

It was more of a mosque until very recently, so not really.

to ruin the delusion

So you want to be deluded?

How is Russia an insurance against that?

tobogganablaze , (edited )

That's a bit of a stretch. I'm sure Russia could supply them with oil, but you can't just shift China's sea trade to land like that. So a blockade would still have a massive impact. Not a very good insurance.

tobogganablaze , (edited )

I guess I just wouldn't call it insurance as it barley mitigates the impacts of a potential blockade. It's more like their backup lifeline should shit hit the fan.

tobogganablaze , (edited )

I guess it could, but I'd say it's rather unlikely.

Still, I'd rather have a military than can stand up to Russia should things escalate instead of not having one on the off-chance democracy collapses.

tobogganablaze ,

The ironic thing is that I think the only realistic way to get an European army on a reasonable time scale would be pretty much the worst case scenario: A full conventional war with Russia without US support, which would literally force European countries to integrate their militaries beyond what we currently do in NATO.

Firefox tab groups just got an upgrade, thanks to your feedback | The Mozilla Blog ( blog.mozilla.org )

Tab groups have become one of Firefox’s most loved ways to stay organized — over 18 million people have used the feature since it launched earlier this year. Since then, we’ve been listening closely to feedback from the Mozilla Connect community to make this long-awaited feature even more helpful.

I hope they fixed the hair-trigger on the drag-ungrouping ... so annoying.

tobogganablaze ,

This is .ml, so of course we are.

When this is the standard for journalism that is promoted by the mods here then it's time leave this one.

tobogganablaze ,

I read that as "if they're on Band Camp".

tobogganablaze ,

Historically? Many.

Recently. No.

tobogganablaze ,

Something similar did actually happen, though:

Why would you need to show your ID for shopping?

Also, how do you buy alcohol/tobacco in the UK? I'd assume you already need some sort if ID for that anyway.

Seems like you're just trying to manufacturer a problem.

CDU-Ministerin Karin Prien würde bei AfD-Regierung auswandern ( www.zdfheute.de )

Bundesbildungsministerin Karin Prien würde nach eigenen Worten auswandern, sollte die AfD einmal Kanzlerpartei werden. Die CDU-Politikerin, die jüdische Vorfahren hat, sagte im Podcast "Meine schwerste Entscheidung" der Funke Mediengruppe:

Ich seh schon die ersten Leute die jetzt AfD wählen nur um die CDU los zu werden.

How old do you think this character is?

I’m writing an 18+ superhero story. My main character is a young man/woman (I don’t know their gender yet). They are a stripper and get powers from overdosing on a street drug that gives you superpowers. After that, their 31-year-old boyfriend dies (he’s older than my main character). My character decides to find his ...

tobogganablaze , (edited )

21-23 years old.

I know because you can't stop posting about it.

tobogganablaze ,

Never, religion is an opinion and you can hate dumb opinions all you want.

tobogganablaze ,

I had very meaningful conversation about all kinds of fiction, including religion.

No "roast" was intended.

Das aber unirionisch.

Yes they do. The poor beings that have to eat the crap.

Bread is irrelevant. The patty makes the burger.

Evidence: You can order a McDonald burger without buns.

Hallo, Steuerprüfer? Dieser Kommentar hier.

tobogganablaze , (edited )

But margarine literally isn't butter? I've never heard anyone complain about that. If anything, the opposite. Don't hand someone margarine when they asked for butter.

tobogganablaze ,

It's not a shape, it's always been a meat product. It comes from the Latin salsicus which means "seasoned with salt".

tobogganablaze ,

In Danish it’s definitely a shape, so… Which underlines the fact that this sort of legislation is pretty ridiculous in a multilingual society like the EU.

I'll be up to each country to implement the rules so everyone can account for their own language.

Please also remember, as per Saussure, that for the language user only the present exists. Etynologies are curious facts at best and doesn’t necessarily mean anything for current usage.

I see where you're coming from, but I think that is quite sad. That actually gives some credibility to the argument that the names of traditional foods should to be protected to some degree.

tobogganablaze ,

Yeah, think it's quite silly that the EU is wasting time on this, but here we are.

In the end it's more about labeling than language anyway. No one is banned from calling anything they want to a "burger". You can't just put it in the label when you want to sell it, and I think that is fair enough.

tobogganablaze , (edited )

This not only affects vegetarian food, but also salmon steak for example.

Where are you getting this from? In the document you linked they define meat as "edible parts of the animals" and I can't find any wording in here that would exclude fish from being meat.

tobogganablaze , (edited )

Well now blood sausage is not a sausage too despite being almost entirely animal product

The EU document specifically mentions that blood based products counts as meat, so blood sausage is fine.

tobogganablaze , (edited )

For the purposes of this part, ‘meat’ means edible parts of the animals referred to in points 1.2 to 1.8 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004, including blood.

In the end it's a legal document and the terms are defined for the purpose of the regulation, not necessarily how the terms are used in daily life.

tobogganablaze ,

How the hell do I know if these shredded soy pieces, extra salt, or pink broccoli smoky tempeh taste like bacon?

Easy. They don't.

tobogganablaze ,

Cows are not vegans, though.

tobogganablaze , (edited )

Because they occasionally eat small mammals (and insects).

Another positive surprise this season was "Alma-chan Wants to Be a Family!". It's basically Spy x Family but the parents are the main characters from Science Fell in Love.

That humans are destructive, by nature. So the universe will be more balanced without us in it.

Not only is this not a fact, it doesn't even make sense. What "balance" are you talking about? The universe isn't tipping over.

Also have you seen the rest of nature? We have nothing on the destructive power of natural disasters and even all of our nuclear bombs would be just a fart compared to some of the destructive forces in space.

tobogganablaze ,

On paper, yes. But finding mod abuse on hexbear is also about as common as finding sand on a beach.

That's so cool! I it's hard for me to keep up with just he common spiders. Really cool to see something about NZ specific species. I have a field guide for Australia but for NZ and general SEA it's always murky.
