Rimworld is awesome. But I guess I was thinking in terms of "all crops" being one type of food source. In Rimworld, you can't get multi-year droughts that make growing anything almost impossible. In real life, you can.

New Brunswick tried to use it to mandate vaccination in schools, but the law didn't pass. In Saskatchewan, they briefly used it to override a court ruling that held that the government couldn't provide funding for non-Catholic students to attend Catholic schools, but the case was overturned on appeal so the notwithstanding clause became moot.
Interesting! I didn't know that, but it makes sense.
Still better than first-past-the-post.
I would suspect a correlation more with climate. If it's temperate, you don't shower as much as when you're hot and sweaty all the time.
Also, geothermal power exists.
Oh no! The people we pay to train to kill others might use gasp mild swear words!
The Romans were really, really good at making concrete. Like most "ancient secrets", it's been overblown by sensationalist pop-historians, but they were still really good at it. IIRC they figured out that if you mix volcanic ash in with your concrete, it becomes stronger when exposed to water, not weaker.
edit: exposed, not exposed
Deathists I guess?
I don't know where it's going. We're in the middle of a hype cycle. It could be anywhere from "mildly useful tool that reduces busywork and revolutionizes the clickbait industry" to "paradigm shift comparable to the printing press, radio, or Internet". Either way, I predict that the hype will wear off, and some time later the effects will be felt -- but I could be wrong.
Because generally speaking, friends tease each other over mild, inconsequential things. You can tease each other over serious things, but you run a greater risk of your friend not finding it funny.
The CNN article says that he was selling horns to people in Manhattan. Jurisdiction for international crimes is complicated and I don't know anything about it really, but my guess is that even if he never personally visited the States, he's still considered to have committed crimes there -- if a drug smuggler used a catapult to launch packages of drugs across the border, it would make sense for them to be charged in the US even if they didn't ever step foot on American soil.
It's not about bothering the politician. It's a political attack, designed to score political points. And the thing about political attacks, especially cheap ones, is that the person you attack can try to turn it around and make you look dumb. Trudeau calculated that calling his attackers out for their cheap shots would hurt him more than it would help, and he was probably right, since mocking aesthetic qualities is generally socially acceptable when the target is male. Anderson calculated that defending herself, and in so doing making her attackers look sexist and stupid, was the best move in her position, and I suspect she was right.
