  • They can certainly issue new dollars to pay them, but if they flood the market with new dollars, the value of the dollar drops, and inflation rises and market loses even more confidence in the value of the dollar.

    The value of having a stable economy with stable dollar was ability to issue bonds on that amount. Nobody wants to get Russian ruble bonds atm. That isn't quite the case for the USA, but the market of buyers has shrunk.

  • Aujourd'hui means today. You're looking for: s'il vous/te plait.

    In German, bitte is please (and part of you're welcome) but regenbogen means 🌈, so youre still spreading happiness.

    I remember I once told a German person 'ich besuche dich diese wochenende.' I'll visit you this weekend. I meant to wish them a nice weekend. They were quite surprised as we met in a professional work setting, not social, lol.

  • For me: English, Irish, french, German, Indonesian, Malaysian (same as Indonesian), japanese I've thank you in Turkish, Thai,

    For Irish Please is: le do thoil (é). Translates as; by your will (it). Pronounce : le duh hull ay.

    For thank you: Go raibh (míle) maith agat. Translates as may (a thousand) good things be/fall upon you. Pronounce : guh rev mee-la moh a-gut

    For pronunciation, I'm using Munster dialect. It can be quite different for other dialects.

    Other languages seem to be covered by others, so I thought I'd add the Irish in more detail.

  • They are burning bridges worldwide. They may reduce their overseas bases as part of their policy as they move more isolationist. They need troops in Germany and Taiwan and Korea too, but they are burning those bridges.

    America may want us to not trade our iron and coal with China, but if it comes to an ultimatum, we likely will. America has less cards to play as a reliable partner as they become less reliable.

  • Generally, people in poorer countries have more children. It’s a necessity for survival. They need the children to care for them in their old age. There is no pension, or Medicare or healthcare or nursing homes. Instead the family shares the load. In wealthier countries, we are meant to pay for 8t in conjunction with available social services and programs.

    However, all things being equal, people have less children if they are pessimistic about the future.

  • Ubiquiti is reputable and has the infrastructure to manage sensitive data from many companies. The software phones home and is cloud based for logging in and back ups etc, however its network information and settings rather than personal information. This does include data about your devices, sites visited, apps used etc. However, as a b2b rather than a consumer facing company mainly, they are not really into data mining, yet. I’ve used them for my business. It’s a bit pricy for my home needs, but I’m due an upgrade soon and will be looking at their equipment. It works well together, is both powerful and mainly intuitive.

    Any internet connecting hardware theoretically has access to all your data passing through it. So, I’d either go ubiquiti or open source. My understanding is that the open source options are playing catch up as most modern routers don’t release open drivers for their components. So, although the software is theoretically equal, practically it isn’t, but that may change with openwrt releasing a new router soon. If you need stuff now, I’d get ubiquiti.

  • We have magnitudes more trade with China than the USA. We are one of the few countries that buy more USA stuff than we sell to them. The only reason to stick with the USA would be if we trust them for defence reasons. What’s happening in Ukraine means we can’t. So it would likely be an own goal for Trump as we’d have to choose China over USA. The libs would go nuts, due to racism. We’d be objectively worse off, as an unreliable defence partner is still a partner, but if we ditched trade with China, our economy would collapse overnight.

  • So subtle bigotry is ok? What is the purpose of wearing a uniform visual identifier for a cause? It's for people to see it. They were spreading hate against a child and refused to stop when asked by the school authorities.

    That's pretty sick and twisted.

  • Unsupported, with a screen not showing what it should means doesn't work, for a non tech user. It's deliberate misrepresentation. This is also called lying.

    You can lie by omission. You can lie blatantly and you can lie by inference.

    Sure, mobile responsive design can be frustrating. However, they are a giant company with billions in resources. They are not doing it to help users, they are doing it to force app downloads and data harvesting.

  • Ignoring all signs that the court will be powerless by then. They are already being ignored. Kicking up no fuss is step one to reducing their legitimacy and ability to create problems for attempts to circumvent another coup.

  • It would be better to have a constitutional crisis now rather than in 2 years when he's consolidated more power and yes men, kicking out resistance from other institutions.

    I have no doubt they'll take the cowards route or take money to take the cowards route.
