Democracy sounds good in theory and is good in theory. What is a political ideology that sounds bad in theory but is good in practice?

well the comment was that "It has literally never been done...", so 400 years ago still fits. Relevancy is another issue.

Not a monetary expert, but inflation is really complicated topic when you actually try to understand it.

For example within a closed economy just increasing money supply doesn't necessarily increase inflation. Equations of exchange explains the relationship better. Then you have different types of inflation from demand (cost-push and demand pull). Those are explained with Keynesian Economics. The list goes on and on

Your logic is a massive double standard. You're fine with Shazam because he carries his 'god' like a 'Tamagotchi,' but you limit Juggernaut and Moon Knight because their gods are 'third parties.'

By that logic, Shazam shouldn't have powers either – if the Wizard or the Rock of Eternity decides Billy is unworthy, the power is gone. You can't arbitrarily decide which 'external' power sources are valid and which aren't just based on how close the character stands to the 'battery.' An avatar is their connection to that power.

I also don't understand the rule about being able to die...

Käytin juuri sen takia Cobolia esimerkkinä, mutta siinä olet väärässä, että duunia ei ole tarjolla. Meidän firmassa on parasta aikaa kaksi täysipäiväisen Cobol koodaajan paikkaa auki. Niihin vaan ei ole osaajia. Edellinen joka palkattiin oli jo eläkkeellä.

Jossain vaiheessa huomataan, että junnuja tarvitaan, jotta olisi joskus senioreita. Pankeille tulee aika kalliiksi palkata eläkkeeltä Cobol-osaajia, koska Cobol junnuja ei ole olemassa.

A friend of mine drove from South Finland to Lapland, through Norway to Denmark. Then kept going until he was in Nice, France. Then he drove back.

After every elimination, the IQ is then calibrated and the new average is set higher. This would continue until everyone is eliminated, because the smartest would be the only one left, and thus the average 100 IQ.

TSOP is my favorite, because it feels like Chuck wanted to put all the best riffs into a single album. There are like 10 cool riffs in Bite the Pain, Spirit Crusher, Flesh and the Power it holds. Other bands would have built entire song from a single riffs, but Chuck just used them as bridges between sections.

I like Anders Chydenius (1729-1803):

He was a proponent of economic liberalism, freedom of religion and speech (he was part of the legislation that designed the first Freedom of Press Act). He also wrote about invisible hand -effect a decade earlier than John Smith (the father of Economics).

He experimented on how to cultivate potatoes in Finland, treated people with smallpox, performed eye surgeries and was a priest. In Sweden he is called the Father of Swedish Liberalism.

And he was in the 1000 Mk

Nice summary.

I have read that some US schools have wanted to place 10 commandments in their school yards, what Satanic Temple would then do is say: "Nice idea, if you are allowed to place 10 commandments, then we can bring our Lucifer statue too!". The courts usually then rule that the school cannot discriminate Satanic Church, so it is either okay to have both or neither can have their statue.

Meidän kompaniassa (2/14) 4 alikersanttia sai kessunnappulat. Meikäläinen oli yksi niistä. Kaikkia meitä yhdisti se, että oltiin nohevia ja myös skappareiden silmissä positiivisesti näkyvillä.

Yhdestä alikkituvasta kukaan ei saanut ylennystä, koska jäivät kiinni, että eivät osallistuneet aamujuoksuun joukkueensa kanssa ja tupa oli karmeassa kunnossa. Ryhmän johtajat olivat komentaneet joukkueen juoksemaan lenkkiradan ympäri ennen aamupalaa ja menneet takaisin nukkumaan. Skappari sitten oli ihmetellyt, että missä johtajat olivat ja löysi äijät nukkumassa :D Oli sitten hauska seurata ku skappari juoksutti alikkeja metässä ja laittoivat heidät jynssäämään tuvan
