There's an archive of books belonging to a certain anna, which has not failed me yet.

Or Louise

No, but at what point would you start calling it bolognese then? It's every meat/wine stew from Bologna bolognese?

The poison apple thing is based on works of Galen, who, seeing how he lived in Europe in the 3rd century, has never seen a tomato, nor spoken to anyone who has. But he did describe a poisonous "wolf peach" that happened to match a tomato, so obviously that must be it.

Tbf, most of these would kind of suck in a salsa.

Which is weird, considering the dish was only invented in the 19th century, so tomatoes were absolutely available.

Italian cuisine in general has way less tradition that people think.

The US always had terribly low resilience in the way their government is structured. The "checks and balances" were pretty great in the late 18th century, but their protections are paper thin and assume good faith.

Several countries have iterated upon their constitutions in the last 300 years, often to close exactly the kind of vulnerabilities we can see exploited in the US right now. For example, because of what the Weimar republic's article 48 was used for in 1933, the German president no longer has those powers.

I understand that the US constitutions had had amendments, but as far as I can tell, the fundamental flaws across several core institutions have never been addressed. Until they are, the US can not be a trustworthy partner for any endeavor longer than the next election cycle.

Incidentally, Aurora Store is unable to find this particular app.

The problem is the combination of AOC and nonconsentual explicit AI content. Overly broad rules might make that fall under satire, which is why caution is advised when devising such rules.

Just imagine being a artist, doing furry because you love it or maybe just because it pays your bills. And then someone from HBO contacts you about commissioning a picture of John Oliver as a horny otter in skintight jorts.

It's Microsoft. For some insane reason, excel formulas are localized. E.g. German Excel uses "SUMME()" instead of "SUM()".

It's insanely annoying because it sport of makes it more difficult to ask for help (I.e. only Germans might know what SVERWEIS does). And if you manage to find a solution in English, you need to translate it.

Steam is partially funded by underage gambling. They know about this. They could literally shut it down within hours.

They're better than most, but that is a major moral failure they don't get nearly enough flak for.

In total, sure. There's enough (in)famous athletes between football, tennis, golf, racing, etc.

Active athletes from one type of sport? No chance.

And here I thought chains were only used for cricket and train tracks.

And not even impossible. The EU council and commission can basically freely decide if a state counts as "European".

I think the biggest hurdle might be that Canada would immediately be the 5th most powerful member state because of their population.

There's a slight difference in that "Ostsee" is the common name. If the German chancellor decides to call it "Deutsche See" tomorrow, the name would continue to be "Ostsee", because that's how language usually works.

"Gulf of America" is just a dictator's wish of a common name. The people of OpenStreetMap decided to use the tag "official_name:en_US" for that reason, while keeping "Gulf of Mexico" for the commonly used "name:en-US".

Lemmy itself doesn't support user tags, but some of the clients like voyager, do.

What the heck is that map projection? It's like Mercator on steroids.

Government? No. But I could definitely see private prison corporations making money selling prison slave labor weed.

To be fair: The US did join the European theater despite having their hands full across the Pacific.
