There is not a single neuron, either logical nor moral, left in that idiot's head. Just money and hate.
Ho, sure, the fact you "emptied" a while continent of its inhabitants and got cheap land and tons of every natural resources while Europe had already expended theirs during the previous century has nothing to do with it: it is YOU who are superior human being.
Tell me how you would install AC units for all of 2 millions inhabitants of Paris, a city older than your country, the third most visited city in the world, without destroying its character, but more importantly: a stone city, at the bottom of a sedimentary basin, without making the heat problem worse to anyone in the streets or unable to buy an AC?
You can then yap again about how easy and cheap it was to punch AC ducts through the flimsy walls of your McMansion in the soulless suburbia you live in, an hour of boring highway from your "scaling, creative, value creating" job.
CO2 emissions have been consistently declining in both the USA and Europe for over 2 decades now. The bulk of the CO2 increase over that time period comes from China and India.
Global warming didn't start two weeks ago, nor two decades ago. Most of human generated CO2 and most of the calories accumulated by greenhouse effect are still directly caused by Americans, both in absolute numbers and relative per capita.
Americans also invented the solar photovoltaic panel.
Americans also elected PV panel haters, and are still destroying whole regions to extract more oil, both overseas and at home.
Also, since we're playing this game right now, I'd be remiss to not remind you that American individuals do over an order of magnitude more charitable giving than the entire EU combined, on a raw dollar basis.
Hi, cool, are you going to give AC units to Europe? And the Middle East? And India/Bangladesh etc.? Maybe we should prosternate at your feet and thank you for you magnifiscence, oh great solvers of problem you caused.
It is impressive how misinformed you are about the reality of health care in Europe. It is almost as if you were being lied to in order to make you accept being mistreated.
As a reminder, the heat killing Europeans right now is caused by America pumping ungodly amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere with virility-signalling cars and air conditioning set to 60 fahrenheit everywhere. You are literally mocking Europeans for being killed by your waste.
It isn't a hobby of the past. Arborists are professionals still using knots and studying them (especially with the modern rope materials changing the old knowledge around knots). Rock climbing is a hobby but knots are life-or-death for them.
Knots are still being invented nowadays. Or variants of existing knots.
Here are PACI's systematic studies on a few vital knots:

Here is a recent (2025) paper on the stability of the bowline:

The appliances are very common, and Ive seen them throughout much of Asia, too. Its like Europe and the US are just discovering this tech
It's almost as if the Australian and Asian climate are different from the European one...
Fontainebleau forest, vs. the Australian Outback, what's the difference, really?
The Forest of Fontainebleau, just 50 km south of Paris, is burning, with Canada it's on the scene trying to contain it. Nearby highways and trains - some of the busiest of France - are cut. It is a temperate European forest, oak trees and beech.
No AC is going to save European from that. In fact, it is American AC which is the main cause of it. They dumped all that energy and greenhouse gases and Europeans are the one impacted by these externalities.
Then maybe publish the results, but don't publish the "how to".
It run its course the minute you "honestly" thought the Belgians were whining and the Americans weren't. You have no argument remaining, especially now that Olise's yellow card has been left in place. Wouldn't the game be more interesting if he played without it? Isn't it controversial too?
The Belgians now need to man up and play the game with a full squad rather than whine about not getting an easy fixture
Oh the irony. Why don't the US man up and play within the rules? You president whined and whined and whined, he does nothing but whining every single day.
You are completely morally corrupt. The Americans are cheaters, and nobody will respect them even if they win. "Pathetic" doesn't even start to describe how feckless people who defend this decision are.
You're entitled to believe it was a red, but it is objectively controversial.
Who won the US presidential election in 2020?
... May we have the solution to the questions, also? I went through the concours too but I am very rusty.

I completely accept that human audition has limits that are easy to determine by playing a pure sound. But is it the same with music, where multiple frequencies are played and interfere with each other? Aren't some harmonics or effects created by these "inaudible" frequencies?
To try to imagine something similar: the human eye is unable to see UV light, yet fluorescent paint has a visible quality of its own compared to "normal" pigments.
Here is what Palantir tried to snuff out:
“For seven years, Palantir attempted to win over the Swiss federal authorities as customers with a major sales campaign. They were immediately rejected at least nine times.” And: “In total, we submitted 59 applications for information under the Federal Act on the Protection of Consumer Rights (BGÖ). The result was dozens of successful applications, demonstrating how persistently Palantir had tried for years to gain a foothold with Swiss authorities.”
The reason is that genetics/evolution don't yet seem to fully explain how humans exist. A computer genetic algorithm run for a billion generations doesn't lead to anything anywhere near the the complexity of a human.
I didn't have "creationism" as the top answer to a HN post in 2026, yet here we are...
Every court before the Supreme Court completely dismissed the attempt to kill the 14th amendment.
The Supreme Court is more and more packed with dishonest, racist Republican political hacks who try to twist words to overturn centuries of precedent.
It is totally obvious: every single court told the Trump administration to go f* themselves, and Trump appealed and appealed again until it reached the Supreme Court.

For example, despite vegetables and sweet potatoes being promoted as key components of the Okinawan ‘Blue Zone’ diets, according to the Japanese government, Okinawans eat the least vegetables and sweet potatoes in Japan and have the highest body mass index.
What a dishonest argument:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okinawa_diet
Specifically, the Okinawans circa 1950 ate sweet potatoes for 849 grams of the total 1262 grams of food that they consumed, which constituted 69% of their total daily calories.[2]
The traditional Okinawan diet as described above was widely practiced on the islands until about the 1960s.[2] Since then, dietary practices shifted towards Western and mainland Japanese patterns, with fat intake rising from about 6% to 27% of total caloric intake and the sweet potato being supplanted with rice and bread.[8]
Okinawans ate three grams total of meat – including pork and poultry – per day, substantially less than the 11-gram average of Japanese as a whole in 1950.[2] The pig's feet, ears, and stomach were considered as everyday foodstuffs.[1] In 1979 after many years of Westernization, the quantity of pork consumption per person a year in Okinawa was 7.9 kg (17 lb), exceeding by about 50% that of the Japanese national average.[9]
Since the early 2000s, the difference in life expectancy between Okinawan and mainland Japanese decreased, possibly due to Westernization and erosion of the traditional diet.[3][4] The spread of primarily American fast-food chains was linked with an increase in cardiovascular diseases, much like the ones noted in Japanese migrants to the United States.[3][4]
Nope, European, from a country that did the most to oppose Israel, despite the fact it is very difficult for any continental European country to do so as we are tainted by the Shoah...
And America is electing more and more anti-israel politicians.

So American, is Bill White a trustworthy ambassador or a political donor looking for clout?
Note that as the trial is described, the blinding was only related to the presence or not of caffeine. There wasn't any "non-coffee" placebo (something with the taste but none of the components of coffee). (Of course it is certainly difficult to make something taste like coffee while being as neutral as water. I don't even think it is possible.)
As such, the improvement seen when they start drinking coffee could simply be a placebo effect. Coffee making is a nice daily ritual that helps being grounded in the present, as do sents, tastes and the feeling of a warm beverage.
The study is also fairly low power, as you have 62 people in four groups: coffee drinker with caffeine, coffee drinker with decaffeinated, non-coffee drinker with caffeine, non-coffee drinker with decaffeinated.
(Again, a big problem in many human studies is that it is very hard to recruit enough people, both for financial and organization reasons, so don't read this as a knock against the research team).
You don't need much calculation power to manage a 30-min ballistic trajectory.
The inertial navigation system is the very crazy part, along with the nuclear fusion warhead design itself.
That's just another type of randomness (who was online during the short time the posting was opened).
"Biden was horrible, terrible, very not good and I complain a lot about how he was the worst ever.
Trump is worse and I just "whatabout Biden" and leave it at that."
You should read "The nice house on the lake" comic. You'll find it interesting.
Then we give up our control to them, and in return we are given lives of leisure, luxury, with minimal suffering, the end of disease, etc. Is this such a horrible scenario?
Until the AI overlords need to reclaim space to built another paperclip factory.
Pets also live lives of leisure, in theory. Do all of them do? Are they never abandoned, beaten, tortured for fun, overfed, left alone in hot cars?
They are so ineffective that the Army is reinstating flu vaccination. /s
And don't try to say it was an objective public health measure - if that was the case they would've made natural immunity as acceptable as vaccination)
It was an objective public health measure, because it is well-known from actual examples that opening such option would lead people to try to get infected instead of being vaccinated, breeding even more variants and hospital saturation.
Note also that "previous contamination" has never been an acceptable derogation in any public health system for any of the compulsory vaccinations.
I think there would have been better uptake amung republicans if it was presented a optional healthcare choice or suggestion.
Cut to Republicans outraged reaction to Michelle Obama fitness initiatives...
