They being the political and industrial elites.

Repealed by the House of Representatives in 2021.

The American public lost their minds at 2k casualties in 2001. I doubt they have the determination for a civil war.

You can filter for manually installed packages yes.

But they do.

Example.

That is not a thing in most of the world.

Hey, I saw a Black out on my lawn, eating worms. I banged on the window and scared him off though.

On a linguistic level yes. The ancient Greeks named the islands after the Prythonic tribes, who were active in Britannia and Hibernia (Ireland).

On a don’t-annoy-the-alarm-clock-aficionados level, nope. This guy isn’t with me. Never met them.

They’re still using the Nazi rockets so not really.

People who have decided to take up arms against other humans for money or ideology have passed some sort of rubicon I feel. They might be pursuaded to suppress their violent mercenary instincts for a while, but ultimately every violent repressive regime relies on these people, and has indoctrinated them accordingly.

There was no jurisdiction at the time. The Nuremberg trials were essentially kangaroo courts with no solid basis in law, performed because the gravity of the Nazi crimes was so great something had to be done. As such some of the judges were uneasy about handing down death sentences, as many of the crimes they were charged with were not crimes in the Third Reich, and international law hadn’t developed sufficiently to take over.

The ICC came around in the 1990s, partially in response to calls from those involved in the Nuremberg trials for provision for a more robust and legal process, that didn’t rely on conquest first.

However it was deemed a valid defence in the trials of US war criminals in the Vietnam War.

American soldiers aren’t in the jurisdiction of the ICC or any international court anyway.

If the sort of person who was part of those organisations cared about rule of law, none of them would have boarded planes to Iraq. Appreciate the optimism though.

Apple have always done what they wanted. In the Jobs era the biggest Apple Store in the world was on Regents Street in London, and Apple paid the local council vast fines each month because Jobs decided that the required illuminated fire exit signs would have ruined the carefully designed interior.

A pretty shitty museum really. Discman was only made by Sony.

I dunno what a Sir Newton is, but the chap is supposed to be Sir Isaac.

When Conan’s ratings were scaring the affiliates, many attempts were made to get him to change the show. One of the last-chance attempts was when Conan was brought into Lorne Michael’s office and briskly told that it didn’t have to be good. It just had to get an audience. He refused, and was canned soon after.

Eink charge around $30 for their lowest-spec screen. Device builders have to price that in, along with the niche market, and the fact that those who want to use Eink are unlikely to be replacing it for several years.

The location is being kept secret to prevent looting.
