It’s OK to wear a cross in, It’s OK to make the sign of the cross, because that’s the majority religion. Headscarves, however, are considered a “outfit ostensibly showing a […] religious affiliation” and that should, according to some french lawmakers, be banned.

The unity mile, of course. It’s 10,688.54 m.

Or about 11 swedish miles per day.

I mean, it depends on how you define species. If we have a morphological species definition, then appearance is everything. Does individuals that look very similar, have similar dna and can have fertile offspring not count to the same species if their behavior is different?

What’s wrong with trumps right hand?

I think that they can’t deny access to the US military bases in Greenland.

Sorry, I misread your comment.

I mean, what is the compromise here exactly? Don’t deport all the children with cancer? Only shut down half of the department of education?

Is the cat ok?

I remember seeing an interview with Margaret Thatcher where she said that rail could never be successfully privatized. Just as a reminder of how extreme Musk’s ideas are.

Vi hasn’t been updated since 2005. Aren’t everyone just using vim or neovim?

What they’re saying is true. The former state owned postal service now delivers mail every second day here and the postage has risen several hundred percent. They’re debating whether they should deliver only once a week. One of the private delivery companies only delivers once every two weeks if there are others in the area that have packages to be delivered.

It was a big mistake to break up the state monopoly on mail and package deliveries.

This is just Russian propaganda. Ukraine weren’t even close to being considered for NATO membership when the special military intervention was announced. They’ve had a border conflict with Russia since 2014 and therefore they could not join NATO.

Ukraine is defending itself. Zelenskyy said “I need bullets, not a ride” and the west simply helped Ukraine with what they actually needed. It’s completely reasonable that Ukraine can use western aid to strike military targets within Russia that threatens their sovereign territory.

That’s true, but you hardly blame any one else than the Russian government for this three-day special military operation that’s now in its third year. Allowing Ukraine to defend itself is just the right thing to do.
