Well ... I don't know why non-English speaking countries get to decide how English speakers should pronounce/spell their names. Different languages have different names for each other. It's ok. And yes, I would have the same

Thank you. I find it absurd that it is viewed as a coup attempt when it seems clearly targeting Gerasimov and Shoigu. Nevertheless, Putin was clearly not swayed.

None of the cities you alluded to are even on fire, so why the needless hyperbole that "BC is on fire"?

by kingofpandora 3y ago
I wish the hyperbolic phrase "X is in fire" would stop. The entirety of BC is not currently on fire (obviously). And if "BC is on fire" right now, then it would also be "on fire" when there is one single forest

When it was introduced - and it was new at the time - not everything was as neat and clear as you state. Quoting Wikipedia: "The [TCAS] manual described TCAS as "a backup to the ATC system", which could be wrongly interpreted

At the time there was no guidance to pilots on whether to follow TCAS or ATC. That guidance to always follow TCAS came in because of this incident.

It's Germany. There's nothing at all surprising about it.

"It was the Alawites" is an astonishingly reductive conclusion. Assad himself is has a Sunni wife; many non-Kurdish Sunnis - perhaps a plurality - continue to support his government, just as do many Christians. And even if that wa

I really doubt the poster was stating that Syria was part of the SU. It was an analogy, which you can tell from the plural "nationalizations".

There is anothing wrong with using the passive voice.

Surely mods / users < 1 so that equation shouldn't surprise anyone.

Why do you think this is a good thing?

This is typical in most countries that aren't very small. I'm struggling to think of a moderately-sized country that doesn't work have regional transit authorities with their own ticketing systems. I haven't been everywh

This post is now a search result, so it seems to be working (i.e catching sites with the exact phrase).

"Police in the US" then. Which in Newsline shorthand would be "US Police".

A lot of historical monuments have been significantly reconstructed or periodically reinforced so this doesn't necessarily follow.

That's a different product. There's no alternative for a Twitter client blocked from Twitter's API. (This is not a value judgement of Mastodon vs Twitter)

Why? Because it's a discussion about a change and these are some results. Seems normal to talk about impact of decisions.

All? Saudi Arabia had a good year. I think it's more like authoritarians had a bad year, except the ones allied with the US.

That's not very helpful ... "Anyone can sue anyone for anything anytime."

I can't comment on welfare etc but the healthcare system is good. I've had mostly good experiences. Probably the worst part is getting a GP.

It's mandatory in two countries by my count, and optional in all the rest.

Is it more snobbish than using "k" to mean thousand?

Finally, you provided something! Of course, your "evidence" is laughable. One is a student thesis about USA's involvement in coups during the Cold War (i.e. no relevance to your claim). Why did you bother using this? The seco

What source??? All you've done is claim that the CIA and Mossad were involved in the coup and admitted you have no evidence.
