Nazi Germany successfully held the Olympics, so I’m sure they’ll get ICE to chill during the world cup.

For example?

I’ve installed Lawnchair and I’m quite happy with it.

Yep. I recently bought a used Pixel 8 and wanted to install a new launcher - my googling turned up Nova launcher, but the app said it had ads, so I looked a bit further and installed Lawnchair instead. Does the job!

*whose citizenship / whose people

Ah, OK!

Das Mädchen seht am See und es sieht ihn.

The girl stands at the lake and it sees him.

In German, a lake is masculine and all diminutives are neuter, and that includes Mädchen (girl), which is a diminutive of the obsolete word “Magd” (a cognate of “maid”).

Second hand ThinkPads are absolutely brilliant value.

garlic and basil in the same pot. They all three

Wait, are you counting garlic, basil and the pot, or how are you getting to three?

Wait, you didn’t know this before getting into it? That’s the first thing I ever heard about it, and I’ve never owned any 40K anything.

Lenses maybe, camera bodies, nah.

He has no further territorial demands of Europe.

In the 80s and 90s, America was massively involved in destabilising Central America and the Middle East.

Iran-Contra / Nicaragua, Panama, first Gulf war, Afghanistan…

It happened to me quite a few times before I realised what was going on. You click the time and then click “go”. It takes less than a second.

I’m about to replace a once year old phone because I can’t flash the ROM, and I hate Xiaomi’s native apps and don’t trust them anymore.

My previous phone was a Xiaomi on which I installed LineageOS. I was very happy with it, but my GF’s son had a very very old phone, so I changed it after only 3 years and replaced it with another Xiaomi. I’m deeply unhappy this time because they’ve made it practically impossible to unlock the bootloader without using dodgy unverified tools. It’s only a year old and now I’m replacing it with a second hand Pixel.

Before the first Xiaomi, I had a OnePlus that I kept for six years.

Ah, good old aposematism!

Ha, I thought a 1Hz display was a typo until I read the article - that’s the minimum display update, not the maximum: for situations when nothing’s changing on the screen to save battery life.

It’s nowhere close to that level. The GOP/ MAGA has been eroding international trust in America for a while now, but realistically, everybody else is on the outside looking in, and even if America removed all women’s rights, including the right to vote, or annexed Panama, all that would happen would be strongly worded protests and further political isolation of America from the rest of the world.

Nobody wants to fight a war against the USA, and barring something cataclysmic like an invasion of Mexico, nobody wants to sanction the largest market in the world.

TL;DR: America would have to become much poorer or much weaker before anybody does anything.
