Depends on which option would serve better to advance the plot

The inability to roll windows up into just the title bar, or to get Firefox to place each of its windows on the same virtual desktop as before, are major annoyances. Otherwise, Wayland runs better than I expected.

Maglevs could revolutionise the future of inflexible point-to-point links (they’re mostly used for things like showpiece airport trains, and future plans are fixed single-line systems like the Japanese one). IIRC, unlike legacy double-rail systems, you can’t have switches for diverting trains between two lines at speed, meaning that the sorts of flexible railway networks that currently exist can’t be replicated with maglev.

I suspect Nicole is a similar sort of operation to Aidana the pretty lady dentist from Kazakhstan, only aimed at people who’d be more sceptical. So instead of stealing images from a fitness influencer, they got some from a more average-looking young woman and made up a story. If it’s like Aidana, there’s a guy somewhere (probably in the hinterland of Russia or elsewhere in the former USSR) whose day job is to string the people who reply along, lead them into believing they have a relationship with this lady, make sure they’re absolutely sure this isn’t a scam, and then pig-butchering them for all they’re worth.

I’m sure that a man as fond of Nazi dogwhistles as Musk will appreciate the fact that, given that a B looks like an 8, his losses are almost a Nazi codeword.

When I was a teen, I thought that ska was short for “skatepunk”

The government as bagholder of last resort

It predates Illuminatus!, which came out in the early 70s. The foundational text of Discordianism, the Principia Discordia, was published (i.e. photocopied and sent out to fellow fringe dwellers) around the mid-60s. Illuminatus!, however, popularised it.

She ceased to be a British citizen upon her coronation (the monarch is specifically not a citizen), so she wouldn’t have been entitled to one.

If a monarch hypothetically fled or was deposed, they would legally be stateless.

If 7/11 is open 24 hours a day, why do they have locks on the doors?

The main meal being the evening meal is largely an artefact of the Industrial Revolution, when large parts of the population spent most of the day at a workplace away from home. In agrarian societies, the main meal, i.e. dinner, being in the middle of the day was more common, and the smaller evening meal was referred to as supper.

Someone get the kid a link to a suitable Fediverse instance

If there was a risk of that, he would have to make sure there isn’t a next administration.

There were parts where people were more likely to speak Russian than Ukrainian, though it did not follow that they would rather be ruled from Moscow (as Russian propagandists claimed). In any case, one effect of Russia attempting to equate the Russian language with the Russian state has been a lot of Ukrainians who always spoke Russian learning Ukrainian and switching to using that in public, just to leave no doubt.

Say goodbye to your normie friends and make a new set to replace them.

In a global free market, superheroes end up standing for Truth, Justice and Xi Jinping Thought

I loved the original and the Ezio titles, found the American Revolution one ran a little too much on rails (here you ride with Paul Revere, and here’s an unskippable ghost-train ride of a sequence where you have to shoot some goons; meh), and found the Victorian London one a bit dull. I haven’t yet played Black Flag, but may do so next, given that people rate it, though am not excited by any more recent ones.

They’ll just have to traditional-values harder

The Bryce of a new generation

It lets those with bitcoins cash out and leaves the taxpayer holding their bags. That’s it.
