So how does the "readers added context" work? They vote for shows up?

Had to think about this but I don't think an island is considered an exclave.

The reason for this is because it is entirely surrounded by water, not another piece of land. Islands are not usually considered to be exclaves.

https://homework.study.com/explanation/is-hawaii-an-exclave.html it's paywalled but the answer came through on google.

The island is right beside both Canadian and Denmark (greenland) land, so it's not exactly isolated or surrounded by either.

Canada now has a land border with Denmark. Have fun with that.

Has anybody ever seen the movie “Gangs of New York?” That’s what I’m talking about. We know that when you have these massive ethnic enclaves forming in our country, it can sometimes lead to higher crime rates. .... things like what we’ve done over the last few years, which is have 20-25 million illegal aliens just setting up shop here with no control, no enforcement, and no real ability to police what’s going on. That is a disaster.

Worth reading the whole quote, the article goes right to it.

I can't ever take the word perilous seriously.

Pretty cool, worth the watch. They don't show the size very well, with arms folded in fits in the back of a pickup. 30 kg with one battery, 40 kg with 2 batteries, hot swap battery, 16 km range, 20 m/s (72 km/h), 6000 m ceiling, record and repeat flight paths.

Looks like they think the chinese delivery market will be huge.

It is not exactly clear when and where the video was taken, nor who exactly “they” were. According to a BBC report earlier this year almost 350 Russian fighters, ground attack aircraft and tactical bombers have been shot down over the battlefield during the last two and a half years. These have been by both Ukrainian air defense assets and “friendly fire” incidents.

My comparison is that the metric system is like color vision. It's like colors for traffic lights, but USC people insist it's fine memorizing which light is which location. In metric you just see the world in a way USC can't, but USC people insist they're just fine.

The most serious blow came from the Supreme Court in the 2013 decision Shelby County v. Holder, which ruled that states with a long history of voting discrimination no longer needed to approve their election changes with the federal government. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in his majority opinion that “things have changed dramatically” in the South, but since the ruling nearly 100 restrictive voting laws have been passed in at least 29 states, according to the Brennan Center for Justice. As a result of the Shelby decision and a slew of new anti-voting measures passed by Republicans in the wake of Donald Trump’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election, voters in almost half the country will face new voting restrictions at the polls in 2024.

Also talks about a map which sounds like gerrymandering.

From wiki

Seems pretty straightforward.

No spine and succumbs to peer pressure. No surprise here.

In a now-deleted Reddit post, one victim described how a “neo-nazi gang” with “their shirts off with swastika and other nazi symbols” held their friends underwater. One victim suffered a concussion, facial swelling, and a bruised retina resulting in partial vision loss, while another received a bruised eye, according to interviews with the victims. At least two sought medical attention after the attack.

The Observer acquired footage of the attack recorded by an eyewitness and verified the Reddit post’s claims with the victims. Video appears to show individuals who were part of the group that included the ABT members or supporters instigating the fight, which lasted approximately two minutes and took place in a part of the San Marcos River that is only a few feet deep. In the footage, apparent perpetrators seem to submerge two of the victims underwater.

Weeks? Months? Years? Any other interesting experiences?

 

Is it because alcohol, tobacco, and firearms also have legal pathways? So they spend time tracking down cheats and checking/enforcing regulations?

 

Has this been done somewhere?

Any other ways to make it look better than tearing it down? Whole bunch of fake glass?

 

For some reason I think of it as an older concept. Now Starbucks and coffee chains are popular.

Highlighting carlcook's advice:

dissolve in cold water, ONLY THEN add hot water. The rationale behind it is that aromatics evaporate too quickly when the instant powder is infused with too/boiling hot water.

 

That's where they breathe from.

 

I'm talking about a massive park in the absolute heart of the city. Located such that is naturally surrounded by city high rises. *People are giving examples of parks that are way off in the boonies. I'm trying to say located centrally, heart of the city, you know where the high rises are. Yes I understand nyc has more, the point is centrally located.

Copied by younger cities in North Americ. You know, the cities younger than NYC that could have seen the value of setting aside a large area for parkland before it was developed.
