“I’m telling everybody in Canada, please come. We love you(r money), we need you(r money), and we miss you(r money),”

Even that is not what we're seeing from the White House, lady.

OK, I'm confused. I was in Haute Savoy on a road trip last weekend and picked up some cheeses from a little shop along the road, and 2 bottles of wine. Nobody is getting sick from cheeses in France. Is the real problem here just the usual horrendous food safety practices of the US? Should we be chlorinating American Cheese to be sure? Or is it specifically a pregnancy thing? What am I missing?

You did a horrible painful death over 5 years.

You don't fix a systemic problem by taking revenge on those who were lucky enough to benefit from that system, unless, maybe, if they are working to maintain or propagate it.

The train from Italy to France stops for 20(?) minutes just across the border and police walk through that carriages and look for "suspicious" people. They never made it up to 1st class where we were sitting. Then the train continues at 300km/h

Faithfully projecting a globe onto a flat surface is impossible and all projections have to balance a number of compromises. Mercator retains compass directions and the shapes of land masses but entirely sacrifices relative scale between equatorial regions and polar regions. This makes it great for navigating a 17th century vessel. Other projections strike a different balance, like this one, and sacrifice compass direction and land mass shapes in order to perfectly retain scale. On this map, my little Arctic island looks like someone stepped on it.

IMO a balanced projection will compromise on all the nice properties a projection can have, and if that isn't acceptable, then get a globe.

most important traits in a president: conviction

And not in the way that Trump has convictions.

Here, you dropped this: "predictably"

Not Italian but can confirm the relief moving from Rome to a smaller Northern city,

Sure you do. You go there for the Indian food and the Thai food and we have a Burmese place we go to each time we're in London.

And sure, might get some bangers and a pie while we're there.

And will make a 3.5 million dollar profit from that transaction.

 

It took me a while to see the white on light grey label saying Anonymous.

Also, for new users it may not be obvious that that's where you need to press to log in and they might just wander away before finding it.

Suggestions:

  • obviously fix the label colour to follow the theme
  • allow the account list to open inline in the settings window if it is short.
  • open it automatically, exposing the "Add Account" button, when it is empty.
  • make the account button in the bottom right corner go to an account select-or-create screen when you are not logged in.
