It seems like we don’t know how it was made in nature, so probably not. We can’t replicate the process until we figure out what it is

Oil is also about a fifth of Russia’s entire economy, so the less it is needed the worse it is for Russia

It was up until the Acts of Union 1707. Ireland got a similar treatment in 1800 (and then reduced to Northern Ireland later, of course)

Greece had some territorial changes while the map was being drawn

Real life Little Odessa is in New York (there is a large community of Soviet / post-Soviet migrants there). The Half Life location is New Little Odessa though, so it sounds like it’s not where real life Little Odessa is

There was no title “king of England” or “queen of England” as of that date, in the same way that there is no king of Sheffield. There’s a king whose kingdom includes Sheffield, yes, but it’s not the kingdom of Sheffield

Fun fact, he was actually right in the original version — there hasn’t been a queen of England since 1707, when the kingdoms of England and Scotland were replaced with one kingdom of Great Britain

Also, he was one of the guys in Rubberbandits

Making your own valorial framework is a close cousin to accepting there is no inherent one.

That’s absurdism rather nihilism, isn’t it? “One must imagine Sisyphus happy”

To be fair my limited experience with blacksmithing has given me the distinct impression that I would have magnificent arms if I did it regularly

To be fair if I was going to depict an elf prince with a hobby of bench pressing trees, he’d probably look a lot like Cavill’s Geralt

I like to think he has a bear as a workout partner, and every nearby dwarven society has a secret training program to try to identify someone that can beat him in an arm wrestle

Henry Cavill is jacked enough to count as at least three

You fool, you’re only supposed to post things like that on the Warthunder forums!

I don’t think it’s necessarily a misleading headline. I don’t doubt for a second that Trump would make some meaningless demand with no regard for reality

Despite the European Union not including all of Europe, a German would definitely call themselves European when describing themselves as a citizen of the EU and not an EUian

Is Australia the entire south of the world?

I’m pretty sure comparing this spike to the spike from when he actually did drop out is exactly what they intended to do. They’re showing that even though this spike exists relative to recent weeks, it’s small compared to the number of people who were relatively on the ball.

This is actually a Lord of the Rings shitpost and it turns out that Bree, Eriador has a thriving cheesemaking industry

If you have fact-checked it, why not just say that wherever you did that is where you got the answer from? People are right to be skeptical of “ChatGPT says so”, and if you’ve used it as the start of your research rather than as your entire research then just saying “I asked ChatGPT” is no different to “I googled it”, and nobody would much like you saying that either. How you found the information is less important than where you found it.

It’s possible it’s for other reasons, though. Black Americans are generally poorer than other Americans, and success in sports is a ticket out of poverty that is accessible to people in that position. It could also be a cultural thing; I doubt Finns are genetically predisposed to be exceptional drivers, but they are still wildly over-represented at the top level of motorsports for such a small population
