Yes, I cannot agree more. I did the survey in the vain hope that I could leave a comment or even vote for “no nesting”, i.e. “equivalent CSS”. Most of the given examples are great evidence – some concerningly great evidence – for Tim Peters

Taking it in a slightly different direction – because in my work chunking is nearly never necessary (too little text or too much memory) whereas Unicode characters and punctuation nearly always is – I would tend to something like: from

“europeans agreed to an open market and common currency that included Germany only if [Germany makes a certain concession]” It was rather the other way round: Germany was made to agree to the euro project as a concession for reunification.[

What about Mommsenʼs History of Rome (itʼs actually only about the Roman Republic, he didnʼt finish planned further volumes): - On the one hand, Mommsen was a professional historian and his work was (and is[1]) highly acclaimed. [2] cites:

$1B/day is in fact the sum from all of the EU for gas and oil according to Josep Borrell, the EUʼs top diplomat from Spain [1], [2], [3]. The $139M/day ≈ 13.9% from Germany include oil and gas (according to the source I gave).

> $1B/day from Germany alone According to [1], all imports from Russia to Germany in March were 4B EUR, so rather $139M/day, not $1B/day. Maybe that is the amount for all of the EU (with Germany then contributing 13.9%)? [

Since a change in the course of history has, as a rule, multiple causes, it is very unlikely a priori that a work of literature ever was the one sufficient condition for a change in the course of history. But as a contributing factor – why

OTOH Heisenberg, particularly, was hated by the “Deutsche Physik” agitators and had certainly reason to strongly dislike them; cp. < https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Werner_Heisenberg#SS_investiga... >.

Correct: According to the theory outlined above, no neutral form could have been a PIE nominative, because the PIE nominative would have been marked willfully acting entities. So the root cause would have been the distinction made for nouns

IME, pip and its inclusion in python installations made a great and very positive difference for using Python on Windows: before, third-party installations mostly (sic) didn’t succeed; after, they almost always succeed. I’m grateful.

The occasion for “The Tay Bridge Disaster” was also the occasion for a poem by Theodor Fontane (1819–1898), which, however, is held in high regard: “Die Brück’ am Tay” German: https://de.wikisource.org/wiki/Die_Br%C3%BC
