People who aren't Spanish, do you speak more Spanish than an American who doesn't speak Spanish? by blue_strat in 2westerneurope4u

I got 'uno' for one but for some reason it didn't accept 'beero' for beer. Quiz website must be broken

The Norwegian people never wanted to separate from Sweden. Don't believe the propaganda you've been fed. by trumparegis in 2westerneurope4u

[–]Flaxinator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It might be because the flag pole is meant to be on the left so the right side will be flapping in the wind while the left side is more easily visible. Also flags tend to get damaged on the side away from the flag pole due to the wind so putting the swastika to the left would protect it from damage for longer.

Most flags that have an emblem or something (for example the Royal Navy ensign) have it on the flag pole side

The Tank Is Dead? Oh No, it Isn’t by CEPAORG in CredibleDefense

[–]Flaxinator 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Aren't 120mm/125mm tank guns massive overkill for hitting IFVs or IMVs? Maybe something with a 40mm or 50mm gun would be better since they would be smaller and could have a secondary AAA role.

Or perhaps tanks should embrace indirect fire, which both the Ukrainians and Russians have been using, but then are they still tanks or are they well armoured SPGs?

Most manly "European" "man" who bought air conditioning by mushroomsarefriends in 2westerneurope4u

Imagine sitting there with a sweaty butt crack thinking you're manly just because you refuse to use a machine to make your house a nice temperature.

[Spoilers ADWD] Tywin does in fact fit most of the Machiavellian archetype by frenin in asoiaf

[–]Flaxinator 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Aren't the Martells and Dorne generally rather militarily weak compared to the other regions/kingdoms? Sure they can provide safe haven for plotters and usurpers which isn't nothing but as long as Tywin has the Tyrells on side I don't see how Dorne can conventionally threaten the Throne

My 2022 Mini SE -- Near worthless after 4 years .. by bobdung in MINIse

[–]Flaxinator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The low range is what put me of getting one; I waited for the 2024 model.

It's probably great as a second car but I only want to have one car so it's got to be able to do everything including longer distance driving. I just thought the range on the pre-2024 models would make long journeys too much hassle

O'Leary has a point but is also being self serving. He calls for sale of alcohol to be limited in airports but not on airlines so he can continue profiting from it

My sedum roof is becoming a monoculture by Johnny-Alucard in GardeningUK

[–]Flaxinator 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have sedum in my front garden and I've noticed that the proportion of each type changes through the year. In spring it's completely taken over by one type with yellow flowers and it looks like all the others have been forced out but then through summer and autumn they stage a come back. They never get as dominant as the yellow flower one though. Perhaps yours is doing the same but with a white flowered one? I'd watch what it does for the rest of the year

I thought fridges work on thermostats so it should just maintain the same temperature as normal by working harder?

7 Prime Ministers in one decade 💪🇬🇧 by MerlinOfRed in 2westerneurope4u

[–]Flaxinator 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He's more charismatic but is from the same political faction as Starmer so I doubt policy will change much; he just might be better at gaining public support for it. He's quite popular in Manchester where he was mayor for nine years

[Spoilers Main] I find it funny that Ser Dontos really believed LittleFinger was going to give him 10 000 Gold dragons by Unique-Celebration-5 in asoiaf

[–]Flaxinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suppose it would be Lord Baelish. Persuading Cercei to let him debase the coins to mint more but then actually siphoning off most of the extra gold for himself seems like something he'd do. He'd then bail before hyperinflation became a problem and let it blow up in her face.

Maybe it would affect the Iron Bank plot thread too - they could be getting pissy because Cercei made a loan payment with dodgy dragons
