"Terrorism" as in "Taxing the rich"?

Well, that happened to Germany back in the 1930s/40s. Before that, about 1/3 of Nobel Prizes went to German scientists.

"There are no 'rules' for fantasy"

Wrong. To write good Fantasy (of SciFi), you have to go through a process called "World Building" where you lay down the rules of your world. Properly done, the amount of World Building exceeds the actual works by far. It is absolutely necessary to create a core of inner logic to the story. You are not bound by the rules of our world, yes, but you are bound by the rule of consistency. If you violate those, you automatically write crap Fantasy (or SciFi).

Funny, though, that e.g. many literature teachers / professors don't even know about the idea of World Building.

That's what I consider a lose-lose scenario. The farms and food processing sites will seriously suffer, but their owners will probably double down with slogans like "Why did Biden drive away our workers?"

While punctuality is not the German trains strong point, this is mostly due to congestion and construction sites. The trains as such are remarkably reliable.

It is way faster than a car, so Americans won't want it.

As long as it finances the tax break for billionaires...

Only once. Tobacco is highly poisonous. The tobacco from a cigarette butt kan kill a child.

If lifes and even Democracy itself is at stake, this should not be an issue.

Wir sind großzügig und teilen.

Das ist doch schon gut. Welche Muttersprache hast Du, und über welche Themen möchtest Du reden?

I'm learning English. I think I can manage. I'm reading more and faster than most native speakers.

Meine Muttersprache ist Deutsch.

“He’s a radical left lunatic,” Trump said.

Says the radical fascist lunatic. Projection is omnipresent in this new Nazi Führer Cult party.

And those 3% could have been prevented if you got your collective asses up.

Someone so disconnected with reality should not represent anyone.

Hopefully that sick overnationalism gets down to a sane level like it is in most civilzed countries. Imagine no adoring the flag and pledges of allegiances like one normally only sees in fascist dictatorships.

They are the majority of those who went voting.

I think I have two I could put on the left side. A "full-height" 5.25 inch drive with 5 megabytes and a DEC removable disk platter assembly, somewhere over a foot in diameter and 8 to 10 inches high. I don't remember how much capacity that had. It was for a RP04 or RP06 drive.

Well, yes. That's what Americans voted for.

Or not. Who wants to show off their tattooed mishaps?
