No, but it’s like a dollar per square meter if you’re remote enough…

parties that have been against the war from the start

Nice historical revision there, but those far right parties, who all have close ties with Russia and/Putin personally, have been very in favour of the Russia invasion of Ukraine right up to the point where they stopped winning.

as it becomes clear that the war is a debacle that’s now collapsing European standard of living.

Huh? What collapse? I certainly haven’t noticed it, and the tiny drops of aid to Ukraine certainly haven’t been the cause of it. In fact, the most-opposed countries have given less than a tenth of a percent of their GDP.

the movie Braveheart gives a rather accurate representation

That loud, earth-rumbling moan was the sound of every historian turning over in their grave.

And gathering your own firewood, and water, and making twice as much to prepare for winter, and the strongly reduced options.

I mean yeah, it IS fun for a bit, I do medieval reenactment, obviously I enjoy it. But doing it every day absolutely sucks.

In several European countries, people who have favorable views of right-wing populist parties are less likely to have a positive view of Zelenskyy. In Germany, for example, supporters of Alternative for Germany (AfD) are about half as likely as those who do not support AfD to express confidence in the Ukrainian leader (31% vs. 61%). In some cases, the pattern is reversed: Spanish supporters of the right-wing populist party Vox are more confident in Zelenskyy than nonsupporters

Gee, I wonder why.

I mean the reality was that the time “off” was spent farming their own land, taking care of animals, fixing the house and doing the insane number of household tasks that come with premodern living. Spend a few days just cooking in a medieval style, and you’ll quickly realize it’s a LOT of work.

Taverns kind of are a thing, they’re just called hotels now.

Good news: take up subsistence farming, no healthcare, no electricity, and make everything yourself, and you too can have half the year “off”.

I always got apple juice when I was ill as a kid, and I was ill a lot. As a result I cant stand apple juice or cider, they taste like sick

Depends on the country and the context. For private people in the Netherlands, it’s free. On my business account I pay something like 12 cents, plus 2 bucks per batch (which is why most companies only do payments every so often)…

Price Crypto at the one-year simple moving average, and the volatility stops.

What? No it doesn’t, you’re just shifting the volatility from your pricing to your consumption.

If you’re trying to make the argument that google isn’t just a search engine, then I fully agree.

And the 19th, and a large part of the 20th too

No, but Chinese companies very much are

Well, they’re funding a fusion reactor. I think that’s very solidly outside of making videogames.

Sometimes when you bet, you lose. And it’s better to cash out when you do.

Yes.

Also, they’re very obviously, as you have just pointed out, not just a gaming company.

You monster, what about curryketchup? (I think that’s the English word for it?)
