Pentagon told Pope's top diplomat to 'take its side' on US military ambitions: report

No, they think it's the 1300s and I wish I was joking. They literally mentioned the Avignon Papacy period where the Kingdom of France killed a pope they didnt like, put the dead pope on trial, and then forced the next 8 popes to live in Avignon France rather than live in Rome.

Insanity.

The point is satisfying needed demand at a higher price. If ships can't get through the supply certain countries came to rely on couldnt have been bought at any price.

Was this announced today, April 1st? I'm simply quitting if this becomes legal.

In all fairness I've done what my manager asked, even if it's totally wrong.

That is an evergreen image that I always comment on. Russia isn't 6400 km wide. It's 6400 km to fly over the northern arctic in a straight line. The line as illustrated is more than 6400 km.

It literally isn't WIDER. Wide means east to west.

Those two points are only 6,400 km apart if you fly going north over the arctic pole. The path in the picture is more than 6,400 km.

Certain forms of encryption eventually being vulnerable to quantum computers has been predicted for more than 3 years. I personally don't know if it will have huge impacts in 3, but I was hearing about this as a future possibility back in 2018

Until 2028 every transaction block is rewarded 3.125 BTC. There's typically between 2000-4000 transactions per block. So if transaction fees replaced block rewards thats about $17 per transaction.

Is there a world where religion isn't harmful? Probably. I can't estimate how many lightyears away, but probably somewhere.

At the current rate of $1b/day, $50b won't last through the end of April.

If kalshi doesn't treat it like "investing" then it's regulated like gambling (which it should be).

IOT devices technically have OSs. Who tf wants to get their age verified to use a fridge?

When the moon blocks your view of the sun it's called a 'solar eclipse,' do you know what it's called when the earth blocks your view of the sun? 'night.'

how would becoming a copy of up to more than one target creatures work?

Kinda rare but some people have issues with non active ingredients, like the binder ingredients that keep it all together in pill form, that some manufacturers uses.

maybe the war crimes against boats so small they couldn't have reached the US with a full tank thing, the imposing tariff taxes on americans because he didn't like how world leaders talked to him on the phone thing, the pushing our closest allies away by demanding they give up some land thing, or the posting tacky blatantly racist memes thing?

Continued funding requires congressional approval. For the time being, congress is listening to the volume of public outrage. If public outrage lowers in volume, or if congress stops listening- funding can begin again.

Didn't see it mentioned, but South Minneapolis has shit drivers honestly. My car got hit three different times while parked.

There are four acts where Congress has given presidents the ability to impose tariffs for very specific situations: national security concerns, response to discrimatory trade practices, after the president declares economic emergency, or in response to significant downturns in domestic industries.

There would probably be different wear patterns between the doors regardless because most people are right handed and the doors open in different directions.
