Maybe it’s time to go to the court house and change their name to Lua?

Here is the salient point on the Wikipedia page that explains why horses don’t produce 1 HP:

Watt judged that the horse could pull with a force of 180 pounds-force (800 N)

Basically, Watts made up HP to sell his steam engine to mines and likely made up a number to make the new technology seem better.

Some things never change.

Jokes asides, revanchism was one of the main ideological engines of the Italian facist party, from which Meloni takes strong cues.

This sounds like the textbook definition of a collider. Meaning that being toxic is the likely “root cause” and that toxic people are more likely to engage in political discourse (because it’s likely going to be toxic anyways? Idk) and they are more likely to comment toxic stuff in general.

I’m not an expert in middle eastern politics.

My uninformed take is that if the Gaza Strip was to self organize as a state, they will implicitly recognize Israel as a state as they will have to decide on borders.

Being unrecognized allows the Palestinian authority to claim all the former Palestinian land as their own.

In real general terms, communism is about people/state’s ownership of the means of production. Under this system, most private property is nationalized.

Socialism allows for private property and sees the role of the state to redistribute power and wealth among its citizens through some sort of state program.

ml was managed by freenom for a long time. They made it available alongside tk domains.

Freenom stopped operations for sometime and both Mali and Tokelau are in the process of taking over their registrars from freenom.

It’s more of an example of a coincidence than a conspiracy.

That why you should never date someone who only codes in COBOL.

Step 2: We are Extending the fediverse with our open source contributions. We are such great citizens of the fediverse and we like to contribute . Step 3: We have decided to exit the fediverse because of reasons. But don’t worry! All the people you like to talk to are on Threads already. Come on over!

The 2020s are shaping up like the 90s again. All we need is Steve Ballmer as Meta ceo and the circle will close.
