I’m curious to see how this goes.

What would happen if the Swedish king refused to authorize an elected government unilaterally?

Jesus ducking Christ Florida.

Apparently centuries old statues and paintings of naked folk are pornography.

While I am weirded out by casual nudity, just ‘cause it’s naked doesn’t make it porn.

Even with instant telecommunication there are some pilots who don’t listen and try to take-off or land when they’ve been told to wait. There have been a silly number of incidents in the US recently around that.

Oh no no the dog torture was much worse than that.

They’d put the dogs in a little enclosure and electrify the floor. The control group would jump out ‘cause hey who wants to have their feet shocked, but the experimental group - which we’re strapped down so they couldn’t jump out - didn’t jump out even after they were no longer strapped down.

92% of firms keep a four day work week after a six month trial.

It doesn’t work in some industries, it does apparently work in a heck of a lot of them though.

There are also a bunch of video games that are made. Blood Bowl 3 got released recently (or will be, it was delayed at some point).

The border is a consequence of a botched vote come about by Tory arrogance, though. Cameron was convinced that nobody would vote to leave the EU so didn’t put in any caveats about different parts of the UK voting for different things.

Scotland and NI both voted to stay, which really should have stopped Brexit before it even happened, but the “equal partnership” only works when the partners vote with England.

As for Stormont, The unionists don’t want a border with the UK, trade or otherwise, and the Republicans don’t want a border with the rest of Ireland (the island, not the country :p) but neither of them can really get that after Brexit. Currently the Republicans get the benefit of that because politicians domestic, continental, and globa are all terribly aware of the return of terrorism should the GF/BA fall to bits.

Currently there are more members elected to that body that are in favour of the NI Protocol in its original form than against it, so the DUP should really drop the D from their name because democracy is not at the top of their list, but given the unionist position essentially being summed up in this quote, emphasis mine:

Quote
Jim Allister, leader of Traditional Unionist Voice (TUV) said the agreement "does not live up to the overselling spin which accompanied it".

"As for it being enough to cause unionists to give up its Stormont leverage and settle for this deal, which comes with the added packaging of a Sinn Fein First Minister, then, no thanks," he said.

I am also not surprised.

Edit: forgot a link to the article the quote comes from.

I think the current government in Scotland would be cool with being slightly separate from the rUK.

On the one hand I’m surprised it wasn’t mooted as a solution to the current NI issues, both before the deal was signed and as a consequence of the DUP’s recalcitrance, but on the other hand I’m not surprised the Tories lack pragmatism in the face of giving the SNP a win, or just generally disregard anything outside of SE England because that’s where the votes are.

Touch the stone Kevin! Keep them off me for a second!

Kevin touches the Warrior Stone (I think that’s the one he’s next to) and engage Jon Benjamin with the iron pipe and/or paddles.

Kai will touch the Mage Stone, summon Under World to trap Jon Benjamin in a memory if I can do the summoning part quick enough, then/otherwise attempt a quick healing spell to at least stop the pain with one hand, and help his brother out from a short distance with a level 1 spell like Frostbite with the other (‘cause Frostbite slows an opponent, and it also fits with the maunder minimum thing)

That link always shows it’s been visited so I always know what it is.

I still click on it though.

Americans can’t make bread, I have found. At least the stuff you find in the bread aisle is absolutely honkin’, it’s super sweet and so full of preservatives the bread lasts for months. I usually buy my bread from in-store bakeries, which runs the risk of it being slightly different each time but at least it isn’t basically cake.

Morning rolls aren’t quite like the other rolls, else I’d be alright with some of the ones I’ve found here. They’re a bit flatter and chewier than dinner rolls, and I imagine that’s to do with the way they’re made than the ingredients. There is a variant called a well-fired roll which is, for all intents and purposes, a burnt morning roll. Yummy though.

Equally so it could just be entirely psychological, as it has been literal years since I’ve had one, but I stand by the difference!
