ORDER CORN

I would disagree. The prequels told a story that deserved to be told and was mostly internally consistent. The tone was different from the original trilogy, but they are still decent, if flawed, works.

The sequels are fanboy level writing.

Doubtful

I would expect Israeli intelligence to know to go get commercial grade satellite imagery to circular. I’m not looking at this image is false or an isolated act.

I’m just saying that Israel has a vested interest in pushing a media narrative that is against what the Trump administration is pushing in this specific case and has the resources to provide backup information.

Assuming a competent set of diplomats, I wouldn’t be surprised if some back channels between Iran and the USA agreed to these limited exchanges to save face and not go to war.

And I wouldn’t be surprised if Israel knew this and is exposing this as a way to push the USA to war.

Is this loss?

Except that spammers can curate that set of posts and comments similar to legit users.

Recycling copper is already cheaper than mining a lot of cases.

Manhattan has an entire network of steam transmission.

There is also a lot more driving in the USA, even in a decent transit area like Chicago.

Maybe, but I find that my staff benefits from several daily discussions and that interaction generally doesn’t happen over the Internet. My staff are more proactive at asking me questions if I’m physically there than over Teams.

At that point, it sounds like the group’s culture that you’re in isn’t a good fit for you, and I can understand your frustration that you have to go into work to suffer this.

Where the fuck is the boss?

In my industry, it is very common. It is generally accepted that a large part of senior staff’s time is reviewing the work of junior staff to make the work better. A lot of that requires teaching junior staff how to perform the work correctly.

Not exactly.

There were attempts after Mao to try to remove the threat of dictatorship from the government. The Politboro operated as a full committee until Xi consolidated power.

Eh, it depends. I find that there is a benefit in highly collaborative projects or in an environment where training is a component.

For instance, a lot of data showed that junior staff productivity tanked as they didn’t have the mentoring opportunities that they would have had in a full remote environment.

Even if you aren’t, the tolerance of executions is pretty high.

A country has to execute a lot of people per year to suffer some form of international consequences.

I feel more like, for a lot of voters, climate change isn’t the reason to vote for or against someone while it absolutely a wedge issue for people in industries that cause climate change.

I would rather have a poor attempt at setting up a system to prevent genocide than none at all.

Honestly, the best country to approach this would be China, and I don’t think China would want to deal with the risk of building infrastructure.
