On the upside: If the US ever declares war against us Europeans, we just need do the smallpox-blanket thing again.

you “know” that “Russia has a pattern of this sort of behaviours” because the BBC told you so.

The BBC isn’t the only one reporting about these Russian “adventures”, you know? At some point you just have to realize that Russia is influencing people in multiple countries it perceives as enemies. This isn’t anything new.

I’m not talking about becoming centrists, i’m talking about building coalitions. There are core issues many people can agree upon, and treat each other under the motto “the enemy of my enemy is my friend”. Details can be discussed later, when the threat is less urgent. History has a few examples on what happens, when the left treats other democrats as the enemy. The most infamous one should be the German KPD. They declared the SPD and social democracy as the main enemy. I don’t think i need to point out how that ended. The thing about democracy is, that you will never get everyone to agree 100% with each other. But you can agree with enough topics to prevent a dictatorship.

Multiple factors led to the US declaration of war on Great Britain that began the War of 1812:[26]

• Trade restrictions introduced by the UK under the orders in council of 1807 to impede trade with France, with whom Britain was at war (the US contested the restrictions as illegal under contemporary international law).[27] The impressment (forced recruitment) of seamen on US vessels into the British Royal Navy (men who Britain claimed were British subjects).
• British military support for American Indian tribes who were offering armed resistance against the US expansion of the American frontier in the Northwest Territory.
• A possible desire by the US to annex some or all of Canada.[28]
• US desire to uphold national honor in the face of what they considered to be British insults, such as the Chesapeake affair.[29]

Art of the deal, everyone

It’s kinda funny, how the right-wingers consistently manage to infiltrate parties and turn them into a vehicle for their own agenda, while the left-wingers are either busy fighting each other, or fighting whatever they perceive as “centrist”. Funny in a sad way.

Which is exactly why i make plans beforehand. And then don’t do them. And feel bad for it afterwards…

Idk how it works in Burgerland, but where i come from most checkouts aren’t occupied. They’re usually on demand, and even then they rarely use all of them.

There are probably plenty of different products with different recipes out there. Might also depend on what’s readily available in the region.

Fun fact: Methyl cellulose is actually used as a form of glue, but is also used in food. It’s derived from cellulose. This also happens to be the stuff those anti-vegan fanatics are referring to, when they claim that vegan alternatives have “wallpaper paste” in them (while ignoring that it’s also used in some meat products and ice cream).

Going through the Geneva checklist, i see

Which is currently in the process of being fixed. Just takes some time to set everything up, and get 27 countries to agree to the details.

Found the American

They’re called 15 minute cities

Or just the average European city or small town

Which version did you test last? 4 was horribly bad, 5 got a little better, but i feel like with 6 they got it under control now. At least on openSuse.
