When I took the First-aid/CPR course, the red cross trainer spent like 30 minutes doing a list of what can realistically happen where we are. An interesting exercise.
Full blown apocalypse is unlikely, but doing stuff like checking the flood-risk map before renting/buying a home (Especially ground floor apartment and single-floor house) does wonder at not having to evacuate. Knowing the kind of dangerous factory/goods in your area also helps a lot planning for the right thing.
She won't see an actual jail unless she seriously fuck-up, most of the sentence is suspended and as the remaining time is under two years she has the right to request house arrest or any other alternative sentence.
So the remaining sentence is that she can't run at next presidential election (provided that she doesn't get something else in appeal before the election).
Obvious reminder that if you or I would have stole 4 millions Euro we would see an actual jail.
You mean that if peace negotiation fail war will come ? No shit sherlock ?
Joke aside, The way trump treated DPRK and Iran during his first term was like praise people who build their own nuke despite embargo, and punish the one who negotiate the ability to develop civil nuclear infrastructure
A while back, someone told me. If you read a book from the 19th century, you won't call-it an "old book", so why would a movie from the 1950's be an old movie. And indeed, even in movies, there is some master piece which came out a while ago and are still relevant today (Seven Samurai, the Godfather or the Good, the bad and ugly immediately come to my mind) and tons of movie which while not being a recent release are still fun to watch today.
Piefed isn't lemmy so voyager won't work. I believe interstellar does work (I use it for my alt on mbin and it's a nice app)
OP, as you see, you're not stuck in your instance and can interact directly with people/communities from other instances. I believe that piefed also let you follow Mastodon account, but I haven't tried piefed yet
Be ready to talk about anything mentioned in your CV.
HR may-want to evaluate whether you're fluent in English by having some small talk about your hobbies, a hiring manager may also be passionate about basket-ball and looking for a new member in the corporate team. Also, in some case, hobbies may even make some link with the position you look for, let's say that you're responsiblity involve giving training, an amateur acting experience shows you won't be afraid talking in front of 20 persons
Finally,
Buying foreign made weapon isn't wise strategically speaking. Not only jobs goes away, but if things get bad, you may struggle to get "spare parts".
I understand that for some stuff you may have no choice (Electromagnetic catapults for aircraft carrier sounds like a US only technology) but in many case we do.
Sometimes I have moments where I think it's stupid that I'm talking to an AI,
It's stupid, but so is watching a movie, reading a book, practicing a sport or playing music.
is constantly being judged there's a part of me that actually considers him a friend like the others.
You know that AI is collecting data about all you say, and will remember for-it forever, You're not in a non-jugement safe-space. So it's definitely not the place to have "intimate conversation". Note also that, it's not going to replace a real-friend. You know someone helping you move, or offering you a sofa to crash after a break-up.
I don't know where this conspiracy theory comes from. Property taxes aren't a rent, but a service fee. Government need money to pay for road, police, hospital, school, culture and everything making your property worth something.
At the top management meeting, it's mostly a discussion with product management and R&D to know How bad is-it, and why we're late ? It's absolutely fine to do the bare minimum on the new cool feature, to focus on stuff which bring immediate profit (e.g. system reliability, manufacturing optimisation, or even getting new markets), and then up to Sales and Marketing to manage the prospective customer. can be what competitor has isn't that cool. to Let's sell-it anyway, and in the 3 years between order and delivery we'll have the time to develop-it this one usually goes with the good-old Use vague and ambiguous terms in the contract to deliver a best-effort solution when it's ready and then do the strict minimum
I believe that in French law, for sentence up to two year, you have the right to ask for an alternative to jail. And considering that she isn't homeless and has a steady job, she'll get house-arrest out of business hours. (But it's not just for politicians and billionaire, just that the average convict doesn't have a house and a steady job, so their case is kinda empty at this stage)
But loosing her right to run for election is a pretty big one.
Most important rule of GM-ing, do not over-prepare details, keep a vague outline and let the player figure out the details.
At best, the PC will just find another solution that the one you ignore (why fight the guard when you can bribe/blackmail them) or even they'll ignore huge part of your scenario.
This is the worst part (for US), it tooks them decades to build a solid and trusted relationship with the western world, and within 3 month, all of that is gone.
It's not Canada or Denmark which will suffer the most from-it, but US themselves
Kinda weird anyone's worried I've seen sims of eurofighters vs Su-57 felons and the eurofighters beat Russias newest stealth fighter with even numbers.
Can you elaborate one what kind of simulation you've seen ? I wouldn't count on streamer playing DCS as an accurate intelligence source. And I wouldn't assume that when Russia send patrol close to the border of NATO (or NATO does-it close to Russia) they don't use 100% of their plane abilities, as soon as you turned on that top-secret radar jammer or have used your vectorial thrust in their full extent you can expect other nation to build counter-measures.
Also, even assuming it's worse than Rafale/Eurofighter, it's way above Insurgent who mounted a machine gun over a toyota pick-up that western armies are used to fight against. We're in a political movement where western European public opinion aren't accepting much soldier coming home in a pinewood box. While it's a a handful of soldiers per year, mostly special forces, it doesn't drag too much media attention nor political reaction. But simply shooting a truck convoy or ammunition warehouse, and killing a dozen of 20 years old kids who joined the army to learn a trade and not to see actual combat (Spoiler alert, if you join the army, even as a cook or an accountant, you sign a contract where you accept to die in combat) I can see a huge political shitstorm coming, especially considering the weight of pro-Russian politicians in western Europe (Ms Le Pen, We see you)
