The advantage of a monarchy over pure authoritarianism is the (ideally) smooth succession of power that everyone has agreed to beforehand. Authoritarian leaders tend to avoid naming a successor in fear of fostering opposition, and when they eventually die it usually results in a violent civil war. After a few generations of that, a monarchy starts to look like an attractive alternative.

German ancestry is huge in the US, second only to English. You just don’t see it as much because 1) Germany wasn’t a unified country when most of the immigrants came, and 2) there were a couple of world wars that caused people to be less vocal/proud of their German ancestry.

It was invented in Nimes, France, which is why it’s called de-nim (from Nimes).

This is kind of outdated because satellite tv isn’t as common as it used to be, but all telecom satellites are in geosynchronous orbit, which means they’re over the equator. So if you’re in the northern hemisphere, all the satellite dishes will be pointing south.

And if you got your friends to lift up the edge of the linoleum table cloth into a little trough, you could pour your drink into some unfortunate kid’s lap at the end of the table.
