It’s fine as long as you don’t do something silly like invite a journalist to your top secret government group chat.


There’s some irony in that sponsor block has to block four segments of the video.


Some of the more Libertarian ones are rallying around Thomas Massie. He seems like one of the few American politicians who are actually somewhat honest.


Need to know what country and state. Generally reporting a crime to the police is protected by the common law defence of necessity.


It will have a lot more weight if they win, since it potentially sets a legal precedent (at least in common law countries like the US and UK)


Dark humour is like food, not everyone gets it.


It would be ridiculously expensive for every rural and suburban area to have frequent reliable public transport.


I’m familiar with Mr Lysenko and his work, trusting him was one of those poor political decisions I referred to.


As for “using products of capitalism”, ask them why they use a phone made in communist China.


There was only ever one famine in the USSR, partly caused by kulaks burning grain. There were dozens of famines under the Tsars.
The same goes for China, there were dozens of famines under the emperors.
Communism ended famine.
Were those famines caused by poor political decisions? Possibly, but both countries were emerging from feudal subsistence farming, and had been ravaged by bitter civil wars. The position they were in meant even a single poor political decision could have caused a famine, if we were in that position today, with the leaders we have, we would all be dead.


Same reason Microsoft or Adobe do not stop piracy. They want to create friction that pushes people to pay, but if they fully blocked adblockers then it could create an impetus for a competitor to become popular.


When a Charity applies for grants they often need to show KPIs.


I don’t mind the ones where a professional points out everything wrong with a show about their profession.


The “and” is necessary in British English at least (saying that the US constitution uses it)
(In older forms it would be three hundred and seven and twenty)


I don’t know how universal it was, but in old documents it’s common to see dates written out fully in the form of “on the thirty-first day of January in the year of our lord two thousand and twenty-six”
🐟 is technically a pictograph not an emoticon.


Traditionally numbers in text should be written out fully, so “three hundred and twenty seven” instead of “327”
Also western Arabic numerals are relatively new to English, before we used Roman numerals, which are all upper case.


Ask them why they use products made in Communist China.
I think it sometimes works for technical terms.
The one that comes to mind is microphotography (taking very small photographs) and photomicrography (taking photos of very small things)
Similarly, historical cartography is maps of history, while cartographic history is the history of maps.
