Every republican is afraid of getting primaried by someone trumpier than them. Voting for abortion would make that very, very easy, and every senator is very aware of that. Same is true of Manchin. Sinema I still don't really get, but she seems to be trying to become the new Manchin.

Not a single Republican would vote to pass such a bill. A couple would maybe "voice concerns." I would be immensely surprised if Sinema and Manchin voted to pass too.

The Senate.

Neal Adams' influence cannot be underestimated. Many of the greatest comics artists that started out in the 70s and 80s, could be said to have begun working as Neal Adams imitators. George Pérez, Gene Day, John Byrne, Bill Sienkiewicz or Alan Davis all owe an enormous debt to Adams. Even today, the artists that pencil in a more "realistic" style are riding Adams' coat tails. It's also astounding the immense gulf in quality between his 60s work and that of his peers. It's an interesting exercise to compare X-Men #55 by Werner Roth, a competent artist in the 60s, with X-men #56 by Neal Adams, both from 1969.

It was a Dane, so ask Gorth.

I'm now using a 49" screen at work with windows 10, and having everything in the middle would be kind of a meaningful option, at least.

This might help.

I assume uncontrolled is in inverted commas for a reason. I went and read the article. He argues that Musk's words are dangerous demagoguery, not backed up by his actions.

When I was a kid I was told it was for coins, poor miners 100 years ago used them, so I guess it checks out. I remember it being a problem to get out any coins I placed in them.

Jazz Jackrabbit sequel confirmed

See? You get it.

That takes time and effort, so I'm going to recuse myself. For my sanity and my job.

That's frankly ridiculous and shows a glaring lack of understanding as to what made Trump successful.

Curious as to what point was made, exactly?

Creative Assembly press events in German must be awkward.

Nothing in the words you took from the Codex comes across as sarcastic.

This is currently the problem and what worries me the most. I don't think Putin is willing to lose face, and it seems like he is increasingly placing himself in a situation where every outcome will look badly on him. Be it a war loss(unlikely), an eternal war of attrition(likely), or Russian economic collapse (maybe?). So he is painting himself into a corner, and I have to wonder how much of a raving idiot/lunatic he can be? Is scorched earth an option for him?

To give myself as an example, as a Portuguese dude living in Sweden, I will defend Portugal if a Swede criticizes it, while I will defend Sweden if the converse happens. I can and will criticize both myself though. In other contexts.

It's all relative. Just because things are better in the EU than in Russia, it does not mean the situation is not in need of some deep changes in the EU. I mean, I moved to Sweden from Portugal, because the issues with Portugal were big enough that I felt it wasn't worth it to stay. But on the other hand a bunch of Brazilians have recently fled to Portugal in search of something better, partly because of Bolsonaro, and the fact that I left Portugal does not mean that the Brazilians who moved to Portugal were wrong or unwise. Too often the choices we are faced with are several ****ty ones, and we have to make do with whatever is less bad. Even if the less bad is a bunch of easily hate-able klepto/technocrats.

That's a really old laptop. Also seems odd that it is marked with a really obvious sticker.

If olive oil and hair grease production count, I'm going to include Portugal, Spain and Italy too. Yes, I realize Greece produces actual crude oil.

2032 will actually be slightly warmer.

That is very incomplete. It is missing Norway, Iran, Kazakhstan, Qatar, Brazil, almost the entirety of Africa.

That's some quality English.
