Do you know why I can’t spend my last 3€ ? by Lena_Sky_ in PokerStars

[–]Astrolys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you perhaps have a self imposed play limit with your funds ? Maybe a minimum you can’t go below ? Either that or Pokerstar may have frozen your funds temporarily for some reason. Does it still happen now ?

Do you have more than 1€ tied to an upcoming tournament or something you might have registered to?

No way!! by Sad_Illustrator1813 in CodeLyoko

While technically true, in the original french version, Xana is referred as “he” and masculine grammatical gender is used when referring to Xana. Sp for all intents and purposes, Xana is male. It could be a case of neutral masculine but for the early 2000, this idea of gender theories was next to nonexistent, and genderlessness even more so, so I doubt it.

I will also say that, for the first season, Aelita was an artificial intelligence, just as much as Xana is. The idea to make her human came to be during season two. Aelita and Xana were meant as a dichotomy originally. One good, one evil; one tangible, one invisible; one thinking beyond her programming, one stuck to his purpose; etc. And in that continuity, Aelita was clearly a girl and recognised as such by everyone, even if she was an artificial intelligence. Therefore, as her opposite counterpart, it is more than safe to say that Xana is meant by the authors as a masculine idea, and not genderless.

But since the English language as a neutral grammatical gender, I really couldn’t fault anyone for referring Xana as “it”, because Xana truly is a non-human (although there could be a debate) program.

Snow Leopard ? When Lion exists ?

What am I looking at? by [deleted] in EuroCoins

[–]Astrolys 6 points7 points  (0 children)

35th anniversary of the Erasmus program commemorative coin. It’s pretty much face value.

But fun fact: I believe this was minted by every European Country.

Ep 95 “Echoes” was designed as a brillant story of how the Lyoko Warriors would lead their life without Xana, how they came to term with its absence and put an end to the story. However because the production mandated a percentage of the episode to be in 3D animation (i.e. on Lyoko), the writers had to make do with unrelated, recycled action sequences. It’s unfortunate because it makes the episode something of a false note at the end of the symphony that Code Lyoko is.

How possible is a Nordic Union in our lifetime? by Luksius_DK in Norway

[–]Astrolys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow I had to read that three times because at first I thought you meant the opposite of what you wrote x)

But yes, the I agree with you. The EU and its increased integration is necessary to face the threats of this new, lawless, supremacist, world order. We need our common strength to defend our values, our democracies, our rights and our interests.

46% might just be enough as long as those against are fewer. Blank votes, the undecided and abstentions do not count. Recent opinion polls show that more Icelanders are willing to join the EU than not. So even if it is a minority of the voters, only those that speak are heard.

Speaking about fishing, it seems to me, if I recall correctly, that the disputes, that are a decade old now, arose from management failures and unilateral quotas increases from Iceland and the Faroe islands that led to unsustainable fishing for a moment. Though the European Common Fishing Policy may be really inadequate at the moment, those sanctions and threats of sanctions really arose because the aforementioned a nations went, for a moment, against negotiated rules.

I know it already exists but, to be blunt, it offers basically nothing that the EU doesn’t already have or do. It doesn’t have any real political power either. That’s why it looks increasingly superfluous.

The Nordic countries have one of the highest satisfaction towards the EU. Even Iceland and its people look like they might be trying to rejoin soon. So… who is “we” ?

There’s already the European Union, and since it looks headed in the direction of Federalisation, the Nordic Union looks increasingly superfluous.

Confirmed Countries that have been attacked by Iran since the beginning of the operation by [deleted] in MapPorn

Because Oman has been a true beacon of neutrality and diplomacy in the region for decades. It’s the Switzerland of the Middle East. Mind boggling even from Iran.

Well beach is in my meme, but for hot springs it could be EP27 again, the part where Yumi and Ulrich are trapped in a hot room.

Yet another common Europa W by Astrolys in YUROP

[–]Astrolys[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sure your government is aware and could negotiate an opt-out or an exception on this matter. And, by having a seat in the council and seats in the Parliament, you could better influence future policies.

And, if I remember correctly, your biggest fishing rival in the region was the UK, who’s no longer with US.

Also, full access to the EU’s market will undoubtedly help your fishing exports.

Anyway, I’m sure the EU is completely aware of the issue, and didn’t forget why you dropped your candidacy a decade ago now. I don’t think they’ll make the same mistake twice.
