  • Combine that with the fact that the revolt happened when the Weimar Republic was at its strongest

    That I think isn't quite the case. The uprising occurred in the time period after the Armistice and before the 1919 elections. The Weimar government prior to the 1919 elections existed solely on the legitimacy inherited from the Kaiser. The Spartacists were extrajudicially executed a week before the elections. The constution wasn't written until the following summer.

  • They were operating in the context of the ashes of World War 1 and disintegrating empires. The total collapse of centralized authority and subject nations forming governments independently can hardly be considered 'too early'.

    Considering it 'too early' in the sense that roving bands of monarchist paramilitaries were still running amok unchecked and (then legitimized by the government?) Yeah, bad time for all who didn't support Prussian hegemony.

  • This is more like polarity shift Antarctica where sea level stays similar to current levels. Way back in college I used melted antarctica with sea level rise for an evolutionary biology seminar. And it is much less interesting.

  • When I was in fisheries the tuna boats would bring the haul of frozen tuna into port where they'd be weighed, counted, and transferred to a cannery also in port.

    A lot were fileted and cut right there too, so not all was straight to can.

    Now a lot of the cans stayed fairly together by shipment. So I imagine where a lot code was split across separate pallets or shipments might a single fish be sent to different locations in can form. So I would wager the 'rest' of the tuna is at least on the shelf next to... itself.

    As far as waste though? Some companies are super diligent about their waste streams. Fish meals and such have resale value. Others leave large amounts of parts and material in their shop floors and just power wash it back into the marine waters even while being fined and penalized by regulators. So mileage varies there.

  • I farmed them for a number of years and they are surprisingly versatile. For the most part they taste like your standard manila, its just got a lot of mass compared to most shellfish. Preparation is everything and overcooking gets you a rubbery mass which isn't so great.

    I enjoyed slicing the siphon and deep frying them, but at that point it was less flavor than texture what with the beer batter and all, etc.

  • The Pacific Northwest is the rare exception where some of the remaining tribes are still on or adjacent to their ancestral homes.

    Best seviche I ever had was made out of geoduck and from a tailgate after doing a beach cleanup.

  • The packmule in Dungeon Siege was a good integrated inventory mechanic.

    A good game knows to explain game mechanics with lore. Games that break the 4th wall and by knowing they're games tend to struggle to be immersive. It can really obliterate environmental storytelling too.

  • Its not a general strike, there's just coincidentally a lot of strikes at once.

    Exactly. These are the hoops organized labor has to jump through to get even a footing.

    Meanwhile compare what the billionaire class is able to use for their signaling.

  • This came up in another thread and I am surprised it is not as well known: General strikes are illegal in the United States since 1947's Taft-Hartley Act.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taft%E2%80%93Hartley_Act

    Attempts to organize and exert political and economic influence have to do so under the parameters of that act. Unions can't support these things openly or officially without violating the act. So these things have to be called something other than a general strike to avoid persecution. They're essentislly stripped of major legitimizing and organizing organ: labor unions, by default.

  • 'Rogue activist judges' was a rallying call for this faction. This is a faction that hates unions and strikes and loves scabs and loves privatization to bypass restrictions applied for the public good.

    It'd be a tactic, for sure, but probably not an effective one without such an interpretation being shared by SCOTUS. Which is comically not the case.

  • MBFC does the opposite of elevate conversations. It's quite frankly a poison pill for conversations. People will apply their prejudices and alter their interpretations based on the 'bias check', typically before or instead of any critical thinking or ant article. of any article.

    The last time the MBFC bot was going the user pushing it was very clearly aware of this dynamic. They also knew it was lumping everything to website source, despite authors and opinion pieces, for maximum damage.
