    Yes. I don't know much about Iran, but I think in general a regime change takes much more than bombs. So much more than it looks like it really shouldn't take bombs at all. You have to understand the groups there, their relationships, what each can accept, how to coordinate... who can be trusted...

    For what is worth, I hear they start on the Sabbath before Purim, so maybe the jews would have Esther's Fast on monday, the Muslims are in Ramadan (fasting during daylight) and most Christians should be partially fasting in Lent ? Whatever, maybe they should be biting more food instead of one...

    The Artemis II long overdue, overbudget and oversized human flight around the moon has been delayed again, and it won't launch in March. Next possible launch window opens: on April's fools day. Yeah. P.S.: I guess this way it's more ecological than other space programs that distort climate with...

    Yes, I don't think I have a reason to prove my age or hint my identity to any website. They already steal too much info from me for me to go helping them... If I have to prove my age somewhere it's likely a place with "know your customer" or administration or such places where they need my full...

    Well I tried to find some data both in the references @kuru sent and some references in the Commission response to that parliamentary questions, and I could spend some more effort, but at a glimpse it looks like @ElPoco would be right. It called my attention that many of the anti-Christian...

    Having few kids is OK. There's kind of too much people in the world. If we live longer than before and use more and more resources, there should at least be fewer of us, not to deplete resources. Or we should be much more clever in allocating resources, which we aren't at all. Oh. I didn't...

    I don't know what "desecrate" may mean. Or what "them" means (houses? churches? people?). Burning is generally bad. Desecrate sounds good, but I don't know exactly what it is. Is it what Charlie Hebdo did to Islam ? Because what Charlie Hebdo did was good (or at least tolerable) and what some...

    Just pink ? Like the lower half of the Jalal-Abad flag ? Not sure about the meaning of that flag... Are we bike-shedding yet ?

    Semi-random sad fact: In Catalonia the Catholic Church does not pay property taxes to city administration like anyone else. It doesn't only have churches but also many houses and flats that the priest used to allocate to the church when they were in charge of defunction paperwork and heirs...

    Yeah, maybe with small exceptions, or something, I don't have all options in mind, but in general... yes. Hey, don't say it as if revolution was bad ;)! Nowadays anything can lead to revolution, so at least make it something otherwise useful. People are reveling against vaccines, migration...

    I think the EU needs not to maintain its "prosperity". There're a few EU values that need to be maintained, but Europeans need to understand that you can be happy and poorer (not too poor, just not wasteful). Egotism will break the bank. And there are better things to "maintain" (or improve)...

    Wait!. I didn't say it was a bank conspiracy. I said I guess it's bank lobbying. Lobbying is not conspiracy, it's (unfortunately) business as usual. Bankers chose to be rich, they can't ask to be loved too. Pfew. Europeans prefer von der Layden.... And they increasingly prefer even worse...

    I think it was in reuters, that I read Iran yesterday blocked the Ormuz strait to commercial traffic for military "exercises". Sometimes saber rattling is an attempt to improve negotiation outcomes, not real war preparation... But sometimes not. And even when it is, it's always playing with...

    Sorry for the zombie reply to a 2020 post in a closed thread, but I just read a critique of the Digital Euro I thought interesting. It was published in December 18th 2025, not sure if the legislation might have improved much since. Should be or just have been in the European Parliament. TLDR...

    - Aha. And whom did you apply it to ? - To the driver. - Was the bus moving and was the driver you applied it to driving the bus while you applied it? Should I activate ambulances, the emergency room and all that ? - That's for 911 /112. Why do you ask ? - Don't worry. It's a mere formality, I...

    Oh. but you can have massacres with cellphones and antisocial networks too... It''s not like cellphones create violence, they just optimize it.

    No, not me, not this year (I was there only twice, I think). But I do watch videos live or later.
