There usually is a king and queen at the same time because traditionall Kings are in charge. Historically the Queen was the wife of the King. Jusy like Camilla is currently Queen Consort. If/When William takes the throne his wife will be Queen Consort. The King is still a higher position than the Queen which is why Prince Phillip was Prince Consort. If he'd been titled as King then he would have "out ranked" his wife.

So yes Kate will be Queen (trchnically Queen Consort), but William will be "top" royal as King.

I don't think they're implying that he is wearing those, it's just a reference photo for anyone who doesn't know what spatz are.

Cellulose powder is wood pulp. It doesn't really have nutritional value and is often used in the production of certain medicine types as well, but it is definitely wood.

I'm serious read the ingredients for kraft parmesan cheese

Do you really believe that any of his supporters understand the difference between the two?

By Lemmy standards I'm perversely unconcerned with my privacy. But I just updated all my glassdoor info to wildly incorrect stuff (name, location, industry, job title, etc) then deleted it. Even for me this is a bridge too far.

10 jobs in 3 years? That over 3 jobs a year. I'm not saying you should stay in a job with bad conditions, but I'm not sure how you could look at it where that isn't a ton of job in a short amount of time.

She's paying $1650 for a house? You'd pay more for a house in a neighborhood where every night is the purge here.

What are the chances the upvotes are fake though?

Theyre on lemmy.ml and they likely can't say it on their instance without it being autocensored. I also don't agree with a lot of .ml stances but I don't think they're selling advertising space over there, has that changed recently?

Edit: I'm bad at spelling

That makes sense, we used pine where I was on the east coast but the company I wad working for would definitely have gone for thebcheaper option.

I've been out of homebuilding for a while but we're I was we largely used SYP and our SPF was all pine. Perhaps that was just the region I was in though.

Out of pure curiosity does anyone know where "new growth fir" lumber is the typical building material? In the US most homes are built using Pine but that can't be true everywhere.

What the hell does he consider them then? Bards? They're politicians at least one of them had to be a rogue.

There is likely a deadline like 90 days or 180 days or something to allow someone to pull together the finances to pay such a judgement. In New York you must post the bond before appealing so it isn't leeway for an appeal which could take way longer.

It's not the King, the Thai king is a useless playboy. It's the Thai military who've held power for a decade. The Military Junta wants to dissolve their rival and are just trying to use the King as the excuse.

So it's actually the Military that's in charge of Thailands government. Its a constitutio al Monarchy much like England but the ruling government has been the Military for around 10 years now. The Kings mostly a figurehead just like King Charles. The last King of Thailand was so popular that he could significantly influence the people if he chose, the current King is largely seen as a useless playboy.

Thailand does have a lese majeste law which makes it illegal to insult the King. They are not the only country with such a law, ex. Germany has a similar law making it illegal to criticize the president (though it seems to be largely unused) and Denmark has a law preventing the ridicule of its Monarchs.

So it's the Military that's trying to oust an upstart civilian governmental party/movement. They seem to be using the lese majesty laws as an excuse to oust their rivals. I'm not sure just how effective it'll be since the current King isn't very well liked. Then again I'm sure they're running their propaganda beside pictures of the late King who was beloved. Someone with closer ties to Thailand may be able to tell us how receptive people seem to be to this move.

Wreck of a congress that he helped create. The uselessness of our legislative branch is mostly due to Republican maliciousness. He broke the toy and now he's mad it's broken so he's going home.

I picked this up in a airport years ago. I agree it's probably not the best anthropology book (not that I've read a bunch of anthropology books). But it is a very easy book to understand and an easy read which many science books arguably are not. I think that alone makes this a valuable book because it easily delivers the concept of past environmental influence on the evolution of groups. It may not be perfect but it's readable for us normal non-sciency people and that gives us a fighting chance to ask ourselves some important questions about how we see the world.

I use to bring these on hikes and field exercises. It does have a lot of sodium but if you want something cheap, light weight, and on the calorie heavy side dry Ramen is great!
