The breeds I’ve owned i can tell from shape and size. Other breeds I’d have to see what gear they are packing.

Generally anything that requires a masters degree or higher.

Troll grade: C-.

It’s fine. The time you spend messing with the spaghetti you save in running back and forth along a strictly one sided bus. But i prefer to keep a pattern of eg 4 belt 2 spaces 4 belt so I can cross it with yellow undergrounds.

Bit weird but none of my business.

Why are you so dead set on learning something you find boring?

Learning to do things you don’t find fun is useful for actually doing the boring chores as an adult. But I get the feeling you did enough of that at school.

There are tons of things to learn, I’m sure you’ll find one of them fun.

Biggest on the block after the US is China. He has been annoying to them but not shot at them yet.

It’s expensive to have elections.

You can also not choose where your money goes to. If I choose all my money goes to schools, am I still allowed to use the road? How about choosing everything except street lights and promising to not go out after sunset?

Pick the politician that says they will fight for the proirities you prefer the most. They may not get their way but there are other people in the (country/region/town) with other preferences than you and you still get to use the roads, schools, streetlamps and whatnot.

What is your proposed mechanism for the improvement?

Society does not value animal lives as much as human lives. You’re free to draw your personal line elsewhere.

While we could enforce the rule of link being the attribution, as a general rule it’s not what will happen when someone shares anything on the Internet. It will be ripped out of context and posted on random places with zero attribution.

Exhibit A: yourself. Your post history does only occasionally contain links.

Yeah, sure would be useful. But you only have so many years to teach the kids everything.

What do you prioritize down in favour of another language?

Taxing the ultra rich is easy. Taxing them without screwing over someone else in the process is hard. They can afford the best lawyers and accountants to find loopholes and still consider it cheap.

Maybe when you turn 50.

Yes I very much do think they care. The CIA would say something like “we belive that it’s 52% likely that protests would resume” and pentagon would say that “it would use up this many bombs, casualties would be in the range of x per week.” This is their job, they are not politically appointed, they are well funded and as Maduro kidnapping shows they are reasonably good at what they do.

I’m certain every president would take the same action based on some number given by CIA and Pentagon and their personal risk apetite. Maybe Biden would have required 70% and 1 casuality while Trump would accept 40% and 10, we don’t know. But every one of them would have tried at some risk/reward ratio.

Before be dropped the first bomb: What did US intelligence service tell him the odds of reigniting the protests from January was?

The decision to start the war must be judged from what was known before it started.

Yes, until then yoga lessons is a good investment.
