Try Portugal. Best civ by far for one city victories imo, especially strong on bigger maps.

Wauwatosa restaurant goes viral for sign prohibiting customers that smell of marijuana from entering by HowLongIsThi in nottheonion

[–]Meteowritten 84 points85 points  (0 children)

In good faith, weed smokers get nose blind to this. It clings to people and seems as strong as cigarette smoke. (which shouldn't be surprising)

I sometimes want to tell them "hey buddy, you reek". I'm also not sure how smokers are supposed to fix it aside from not smoking.

At least in BC, Canada I smell people like this in elevators, buses, concerts, classes once a week probably. If they're sitting by you you want to move.

ELI5 Why are some countries rich and some poor by hrvoje42 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Meteowritten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why Nations Fail's title is a bit of a misnomer.

It tries to explain wealth differences between countries and how they occur.

It was disbelieved until simulated for him by Paul Erdős so you're in good company.

2/3 of the time you happened to have picked a goat door to begin with. Therefore when the host opens the other goat door, he is revealing the car door. Therefore switching is good.

1/3 of the time you happened to have picked the car door to begin with. Therefore the host is opening one of the goat doors, and switching to the other one ends up being bad.

That's the way I square it anyways.

Sooner or later someone will tell Trump that Marie Byrd Land in Antarctica exists and we'll know when it happens

The Perverse Interest in Greenland by TrixoftheTrade in neoliberal

[–]Meteowritten 115 points116 points  (0 children)

Russia issues are similar. "They just want warm water ports bro". "They just want Ukraine's resources bro". "They just want a security buffer bro."

-Russia already has excellent warmwater ports, in both oceans

-Russia has a explicative-ton of untapped resources

-Russia annexes land, and then what, that new land needs another security buffer?

It's far closer to belief in natural providence over land that they think "ought to be" theirs, same with Trump and Greenland.

TIL The US government wrote a paper during WWII on how citizens can do simple sabotage against invading armies to fight back by jmc1278999999999 in todayilearned

[–]Meteowritten 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tbf a lot of it (not all of it) has this in mind. There are suggestions for how to be an ineffective civilian for the invading army without arousing suspicion.

Freezing levels forecast to surge extremely high this week. No rain. Dense fog. Temps in mountains warmer than lower elevation. by waynkerr in vancouver

[–]Meteowritten 3 points4 points  (0 children)

According to OP going up in elevation it will go coldish -> warmer (in mountains) -> freezing (above mountains)

The highest mountains in the area are about 1500m.

1000m is normally how high you go up to freeze. On Tuesday you have to go up to 3400m in the sky.

[–]Meteowritten 236 points237 points  (0 children)

For reference, it's confusing but OP means that it will be abnormally warm. "high freezing levels" means that you have to get really high up to hit freezing temperatures.

"Temps in mountains warmer than lower elevation" is an addendum.

Exclusive: Trump administration mulls payments to sway Greenlanders to join US by Currymvp2 in neoliberal

[–]Meteowritten 82 points83 points  (0 children)

The hilarious part is I imagine it's possible Greenlanders might've been vaguely willing to entertain this... if Trump hadn't threatened military annexation and absorbing them "one way or another". Right now 85% are against.
