By Wikipedias count there are presently 51 on-going national emergencies in USA, 19 of them have been declared by Trump.

The oldest still active one was made by Carter in 1979, it's a sanction on Iran.

Not having any form of national ID really does lead to some goofy shit when you need to positivly identify people.

Any US company that wants to could setup mining operations in greenland today, Denmark/Greenland would happily welcome the development.

The reason the USA wants to seize greenland is because it foresees a future where it is no longer allied with Europe, so in order to secure the resources and military access in the long term they are annexing it now since Europe is entirely incapable of stopping them at present, both politically and militarily.

The overwhelming majority of consumers will never install an OS on a system.

They will only ever use the OS that came pre-installed.

GoG does actually explicitly state that you own the games bought on the platform, though who knows how well that holds in a strictly legal sense.

Since it's oil based it probably doesn't wash off without using soap or at least hot water, wouldn't be effective it it did anyway. It's meant to be eaten along with the produce, given that the coating is very thin and made of only rapeseed oil and oat oil I doubt it will add any perceptible taste.

At first this map seemed perfectly fine to me, but the more I look the weirder it gets.

  • The projection used (Mollweide?) distorts the hell out of Europe, Iceland is practically a smear.
  • Thailand is gone.
  • Crimea seems missing.
  • Is Japan a bit shrunk?
  • They must have screwed up mounting Africa because the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden are WAY too big
