Well that's quite likely. The vast majority of people do die as a result of some sort of cause.

If a NATO nation attacks another NATO nation they're supposed to get kicked out. That's why back in the 1990s there was so much mumbling about Russia joining NATO. Obviously it was never really considered seriously and then Putin's "election" put a kibosh on that idea, but there was some suggestion that it might happen, and one of the questions that it raised was how do we handle that possibility. Because if any nation was going to attack any other nation it would be Russia.

It's a bit pointless to talk about really because if the US actually attacked Canada things would get out of hand almost instantly with other nations taking preemptive steps, so any agreements on process would essentially be irrelevant anyway.

It'll collapse under the weight of its own incompetent sooner or later.

The robots.txt scene is a waste of time. I've had arguments with people about this for about 10 years now and they still seem to think it's some god level solution.

By all means make use of it as some callers do pay attention but you can just download a basic boilerplate and use that, there is zero pointing customising it beyond that unless you find that the basic template causes a problem for your specific configuration. Lots of the bots simply ignore it, this has been a problem for years and has only got worse in the AI era.

Cloudflare probably would stop most of the problems of course the other option is to just rate limit the site in general it sounds like you probably don't need anything particularly complicated since it doesn't seem like the site is hugely active.

As a general rule if Trump says something then it isn't true.

A war in Greenland doesn't even make logistical sense. You would be fighting the only people that actually know how to deal with the cold.

All anyone would need to do is blow up the generators and it would be war over, because as far as I know the US military has not trained it's soldiers and how to survive having all their blood frozen. They were expecting the next major conflict to be in the middle East, not inside the Arctic circle.

Now a bunch of right wing personalities in other countries are desperately trying to pretend that they've never even heard of Donald Trump.

Well don't vote for them then?

Unfortunately getting rid of the bigots is a game of wack a mole, they like to breed

It relieves headaches because it relieves pressure.

I'm definitely putting that on my dating profile. Sluter than a sheep

Yeah I don't like putting things in on very hot washes because firstly I think it's unnecessary for the water to be that hot and it's just a waste of power and secondly because I think it bleaches my jeans. Colours seem to stick around longer on cooler washers and then they also don't have to fiddle around with those squares of colour protector pad things, which don't work anyway.

I ones accidentally washed jellybean, it melted in the machine and completely glued the pocket shut. I don't think I've eaten jelly beans in about 15 years so who knows where it came from.

Although the absolute worst one I had was when I accidentally washed some catnip. It absolutely did not wash away and just cause the complete mess.

Strangely I didn't actually think it was him to begin with, but I suppose it's good to be thorough.

Immediately followed by an advertisement to buy the Donald Trump commemorative plate.

Yeah but the cult doesn't like him do they. They still blame him for not supporting the insurrection.

He's not good at the mad hatter routine that Trump pulls off but also not competent enough to actually be an effective president. I was watching a video the other day and it randomly had a clip of George Bush Jr in it. It was weird watching it because he sounded entirely intelligent, perfectly coherent and totally competent. That's what comparison does for you I guess.

Aspirin is a blood thinner I have no idea why Americans seem to think it's a painkiller, because it isn't.

If you overdose on them your blood turns to water this is not a good thing for so many reasons but it's extra bad for the elderly since their veins are kind of leaky anyway. Fortunately it's Trump we're talking about so no one cares.

The most annoying email to receive, the one that shouldn't exist.

"That's not how approvals work Karen, you need to open a ticket. Like the last time I told you this."

It's a bit of a misnomer really. They are not loading screens in the traditional sense. They're just doing level streaming and the elevator ride is needed to delay things to give the engine time to actually load stuff in, so they are loading screens in a very real sense.

A bunch of the bugs that the game had when it first came out was due to mishandling of level streaming and a broken version of viewport culling.

I've seen no clip videos of the train stations in 2077 and the elevators top and bottom do not line up. Also the platforms themselves are incredibly small.

It's a shame they didn't bother to make the train network really work. Especially when GTA IV had functional trains a decade earlier.

Last names can come from occupations but they don't have to. It can also be down to where the family originally came from (a lot of Scottish ancestry names are like that) or they are anglicized versions of names in other languages. Also words change over time, less than 100 years ago no one would have found it funny to be called cockler, it just meant someone that looked after chickens.
