“What is the name of the big staircase in Rome?”

I don’t know, and I spent a week in Rome. This is a wypipo pop-culture trivia question that has fuck-all to do with parenting.

• Democratic People's Republic of Korea (sources at bottom)
• A North Korea Researcher Says You Can Trust 38North and DailyNK | It's time for a deeper dive into the propaganda machine of DPRK 'citizen reporters'

Cert issues has been fixed now

Yeah I think it was a Hail Mary for US support, which hasn’t seemed to help.

I mean we can generally agree that China is worse.

We cannot agree, “comrade.”

• The myth of China’s ghost cities
• The US tried to foment division in China by funding and organizing terrorist cells in Xinjiang, and once those efforts failed, it concocted and promoted a genocide narrative.
• Does Viral 'Sun Bear' Video Actually Show a Person in a Bear Costume? (tl;dr: No.)

There are tools out there to generate a SQL script from a JSON file that contains all the necessary DDL and DML statements to produce a database in full. I’m not familiar with any of them, though, so I can’t help there.

That’s generally what relational databases are for. You might try LibreOffice Base or sqlite.

As for JSON, XML, and YAML files in particular, there are tools for doing one-off queries/transformations against them, like jq and yq.

In the future, please use original links in URL fields, and put paywall bypass links in the Body.

Sorry that Republic isn’t working out for you, Pete. Consider switching to Despotism, Monarchy, or Fascism. https://civilization.fandom.com/wiki/Government_(Civ3)

Their Xinjiang operation was a lemon, and now they’ve given up on selling the “genocide” lemonade they made from it.

In financial terms, for most people the government doesn’t help you at all[^1]. Either your private health insurance pays some of the costs, or else you pay completely out of pocket. Even if you do have health insurance, it’s still going to cost you several thousand dollars per year until it’s resolved. It’s quite common for cancer to cause people to go bankrupt even with good health insurance.

[^1]: If you’re 1) old or 2) through means testing are found to be both poor and physically unable to work, then you get government-funded a health insurance plan. You still might go bankrupt though, just as with private health insurance.

They’re not only identifying immigrants, though. And they may be using biometrics from Real ID, which everyone needs to drive or enter many government buildings or receive many government services.

People with means are always able to get birth control and abortions.

It’ll be interesting to see if/how the Dems try to torpedo their own candidate in the general election.

THE LAW WAS SIGNED

Iran will now officially have NO cooperation with the IAEA, meaning NO inspections.

Oh look what instance this was commented on.

Here are your new marching orders, Council on Foreign Relations members, who drive Western corporate media.

I guess Noam Chomsky and Michael Parenti are paid shills, too?

Ukraine is a sovereign nation

Ukraine may be sovereign on paper, but it’s a vassal of the US, which couped its government in 2014 (and 2004). Previously. Previously.
