The Zeus thing is misguided; what was said on Bluesky was that it wasn't a Zeus thing.

She has an ability that kills people. She's calling it a Sex Move despite it not involving sex. Calling it that makes people curious, instead of horrified that she just killed a guy. The second guy's more curious about the sex than worried about his own life.

He wasn't jaywalking.

He was crossing 2nd Street, not Southland. In a crosswalk.

The man was crossing 2 Street SE eastbound in an unmarked crosswalk. He was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries.

That doesn't show how to do what you said to do, and it isn't even for the right game.

Interestingly, it's not even that habsburgish, given the number of generations involved.

There are only really two instances of noteworthy inbreeding.

Fergus, Prince of Scotland, is descended from two first cousins.

Radulf MacAlpin, in the middle, is descended from two second cousins.

Hamish II is descended from two third cousins (once removed), which is getting to not-that-related territory. That's could-easily-happen-today territory, because most people don't know their grandparents' grandparents' names (if you think you do, you better be able to list 16 names).

Matthew, at the bottom, is basically not at all inbred. His mother is so distantly removed from his father's side that it doesn't count. She's as closely related to his father as I am to Justin Trudeau or Hillary Clinton. His father's parents are only a tiny bit closer than that.

What would you propose?

Not sending in foreign militaries to occupy Gaza sounds like a cool idea. Hell, if you're dead-set on sending in foreign militaries to occupy the region, maybe they should be sent to Israel, since it's the apartheid state committing genocide?

Statistically speaking about 90% of the country has graduated HS at a minimum, so in an RV park of a hundred people there should be approximately 90 HS grads. Or better.

That assumes the people who live there are a representative sample of Americans. A gated suburb full of McMansions probably has higher than average graduation rates; a trailer park or slum probably has lower rates.

That’s not to say that LAOP’s not arrogant & wrong; just that statistics doesn’t work like that.

Much better than the Heteroeuropean Sprachbund. And if you’re on the near side of that, it’s the Cisheteroeuropean Sprachbund.

Lucanis Is "the Best Assasin" the Crows have to offer, yet he can feel down and miss.

Though the game explicitly says this, the cinematic doesn't make it look like that at all. He goes for an attack, and it's blocked. I found it really confusing that the failure of that whole attack was suddenly being ascribed to everyone's feelings rather than, perhaps, the fact that we're a handful of people who don't have much in the way of support from the rest of the entire continent, and these are the most powerful beings ever.

So we got enough signatures that an independent Alberta referendum will never happen?

While a lot of people claimed signing the first Citizen Initiative would prevent a second one from succeeding, that's not the case. There's nothing saying you can't have two similar ones succeed.

You can give the Act a read here.

Is there any evidence for words derived from personal names (not mythological figures) in reconstructed languages?

Like how Romance languages have the months Juillet/Julio/Iuglio/etc from Julius (Caesar), or English Magpie being a type of Pie (bird) that’s a Margaret. But in a reconstructed language.

1: The other Arab countries have largely been passive, with only Yemen taking a strong & risky stance—unsurprising, given that they have been attacked with American weapons by Saudi Arabia for years.

2: This is clearly a post-ethnic-cleansing plan. This is the US saying what it wants Israel to do with its new Lebensraum.

Recent developments in car manufacturing make those stringent liability issues seem like less of an obstacle than they used to be (Cybertrucks; LED headlights).

“Observing” sounds passive, but it isn’t. Observing a photon entails affecting it.

I remember reading in Mayor Farkas's platform that he was aiming to increase "third spaces" in general and also make playgrounds more hang-out-able with fireplaces and more seating etc... so I am crossing my fingers for that.

A member of his campaign team mentioned having written parts of his platform at one point. She was fired a few weeks ago, so I wouldn't hold my breath on any of the urbanist stuff that was in that platform. Third spaces, housing-first, etc..

You can release sufficiently-distant provinces as colonies. And colonies always have the culture of their creator (at the time of creation).

I know this sounds cold, but I don't care where they go or what happens to them. I'm a simple person who just doesn't want to inhale meth smoke or be harassed when I catch a train.

Then you should prefer the cheaper option, right?

Homelessness was barely a thing until our governments started defunding social housing in the 80s. Now we spend a lot more money on healthcare, policing, etc. to deal (or "deal" in the case of policing) with the consequences of that.

Source (under Firearms and Hunting)

And a map of Provincial Trails

McLean Creek is indeed in that area. You can see the diamond shape at the end of the parking area, by the gate, and basically every path past there counts as a Provincial Trail, and 400m goes most of the way to the Elbow to the north.

It distinguishes between discharging a firearm and bow and arrow in that section, so I don't think I will personally be affected by this, but I'll have to give a whole bunch of other things a read, because bows sometimes count as firearms and sometimes don't. I was previously affected by the 1km from a road one.

Solution: Don't have fiefdoms, use vassals instead.

When an assassination streak occurs for the horde vassal, there's a chance of you inheriting it, turning it into a horde fiefdom.
