Obvious plant-based chips

She ceased to be a British citizen upon her coronation (the monarch is specifically not a citizen), so she wouldn’t have been entitled to one.

If a monarch hypothetically fled or was deposed, they would legally be stateless.

What proportion of their GDP is that?

There must be a lot of soul-searching taking place in Berlin tonight after Germany ended up voting against Israel at the UN.

New Free Melania just dropped

Turkey being more liberal than the UK was not something I was prepared for.

Also, wouldn’t Australia be in the same basket as the UK and US? In all three, one can trace a lot of the nastiness to Rupert Murdoch.

And a decade or so before your targeted ads switch from fast fashion, adventure holidays and entertainment to things like lawn care products and orthopedic footwear.

The AfD had been polling at around 20% for a while. While this is ominous, them not having exceeded their expectations, despite Russia, China and Elon Musk pushing them hard is somewhat of a relief. If the BSW (former hard-leftists now making common cause with the far right, and also strongly Putinist) fall under the threshold because of voters going back to Die Linke (old-school hard-leftists who are not explicitly Putinist), and the Greens don’t collapse, those are also encouraging.

Germany’s looking to have a right-of-centre government, though they have ruled out going into coalition with the AfD, so what’s likely is probably a grand coalition (Großkoalition, or GroKo) bringing in other parties. The SPD as junior partner to the CDU would be unusual, and any left-of-centre parties supporting a right-wing government would risk alienating their supporters, so a CDU-led GroKo would be somewhat constrained in its decision-making. The other option would be a Swedish-style deal where the AfD are not officially in the government but provide support and have a say on policy, though Germany isn’t Sweden, and the far right are probably too toxic to countenance such an arrangement.

To be fair, until you can see both sides of each horse, that technically doesn’t disprove it

Arresting the US President will be interpreted as an act of war and the US will retaliate militarily.

“am I a joke to you?”

You may have to settle for the Accrington Stanley of Democracy

Remember: no matter how faulty you are, he will always be faultier.

People have jailbroken the Car Thing and are using them to control home automation/media playback and display information.

I’m guessing that, unlike the Spotify Car Thing, there’s no conceivably useful application a jailbroken one of these could be repurposed for.

Zuck, the Cartman of tech

The main meal being the evening meal is largely an artefact of the Industrial Revolution, when large parts of the population spent most of the day at a workplace away from home. In agrarian societies, the main meal, i.e. dinner, being in the middle of the day was more common, and the smaller evening meal was referred to as supper.

That will depend on there being railway stations in Germany with spare platforms that can be walled off and space for UK immigration/customs facilities. If I recall correctly, the ones close enough to be within a competitively short journey from the UK (Cologne, Frankfurt and such) don’t have this kind of space, and the nearest ones that could be used are inconveniently far away.

The other option is to march everyone off the train at Calais and do immigration there, but that would add an extra hour or two to the journey, along with considerable annoyance.

What is Canada meant to be here? A packet of chips or something?
