They’ve had that government for a long time and were content to sign the JCPOA. You don’t have to like the Iranian government at all to recognise that it was not the party to break that deal
Also, Pakistan is a Muslim country which has had nukes for decades without using them on anyone. Being Muslim does not make you want to nuke the rest of the world
Mirepoix! You can also swap the carrot for bell pepper to get the Cajun equivalent
Well there are still a few Lords Spiritual in there and it looks like they voted against the government, so sort of!
I’ve seen a few around my area in the UK. They are electric and also generally cheaper than comparable alternatives, yes. There are options that compete on price, like Renault, but it’s definitely at the cheapest end of the market
Spirit in the Sky specifically is a fuzz running on a near-dead battery, so it’s a bit of an odd one. I think the broad approach to the sound is fairly popular though. Stone Foxes come to mind as an example
Sometimes stuff is just popular for a good reason. I love loads of different styles of guitar, but I think my favourite heavy riff is probably the chorus one starting at 2:02 in Saor’s Children of the Mist
Or maybe Flying Whales because, I mean, it’s Flying Whales
Presumably because it’s Amazon doing it. It is quite reasonable to have a general level of distaste and suspicion for tha company
On the one hand, good
On the other, fucking nationalise them. These make no sense whatsoever to be private businesses even in some hypothetical world of ideal capitalism. They are automatically monopolies and their customers literally need their product to live. There cannot be any competition here.
On top of that, Vance and Musk openly backed Merz’s rivals in the AfD
I think that’s an error on the AP’s part, since the area prior to this was about 87 sq mi (from the census). Also, anything less than 73 sq mi would mean that adding 73 more would “more than double” it; if it was 72 sq mi and you added 73, that’s a 101% increase, or more than double
Still, anything on the order of “less than 100 sq mi” is pretty damn tiny. If it was an independent country it’d be only a little bigger than San Marino
That’s what I would instinctively go for as well here in the UK, but to be fair I have no connection to any kind of fishing
Seems to be a term that originated in Canada to be gender-neutral and to distinguish licenced commercial fishers from hobbyists and such
This is probably a lot heavier on the technical grammar than you need, but here is the relevant wikipedia page if you want it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dummy_pronoun
Basically English (along with other Germanic languages and a whole bunch of others) doesn’t like having a verb by itself without something to do the verb, so we just put “it” in as a sort of placeholder. The “it” isn’t anything, but the grammar wants there to be something there
Might just be that it’s what the operators were already familiar with. I’ve never used either; is there some reason that Ardupilot would be bad rather than just overkill for this use?
With all due respect my dude I think you’re just using the asparagus as an edible spoon for hollandaise there. And I like asparagus
Even if Trump wasn’t a walking liability, why tell any more people than necessary? Everyone that knows is a potential leak no matter who they are
To me it seems like the difference between having a written description of something vs an image of it. I can describe to you a square, 10 centimetres on each side, drawn with black ink in the centre of a sheet of white A4 printer paper. I could also show you a photo of that square. In both cases the information is conveyed, but only one of them involved an image
When I’m navigating I basically always do it by landmarks and turns, which is probably not unusual. I can use relationships of “this street goes west until it meets that street” without having to picture a map. The shape and length of that street don’t really matter for the sake of getting somewhere, only what it connects to
Not sure that I can really compare it to how I would be without aphantasia since, of course, it is all I have ever known, but I do stll enjoy reading. Like other people are saying, I don’t tend to concern myself with visual descriptions
This carries over to my TTRPG gameplay. I rarely ever actually describe what anyone looks like beyond the absolutely vaguest of descriptions (i.e. a heavily-built man, getting on years), which I didn’t notice until a player pointed it out to me. I mostly go by mannerisms, which I suppose is an aspect of appearance
I am still quite good at building mental maps of locations and can do all the classic “rotate a shape” kind of stuff. I can’t visualise it, but I can figure it out. I guess I’m mentally storing it in another format. Possibly related to that, one of the few types of illustration I do particularly enjoy getting in a book is a map
They’re saying they got a Beriev A-50 AEW&C plane too. There were only eight of those when the war started, and Ukraine has already taken a few out
To quote from the modlog:
Making claims about what religion says means you’re either talking about the religion the country and missed an “a” before the word “religion”, or you’re talking about every religion. I think it’s probably the former, but either way Islam falls under it
