Why does french regime host olympics, a way of bringing attention to their country, while they have post-fascist party nearly winning elections, suppressing indigenous kanak movements, taking political prisoners, brutalizing protestors, and authoritarian president passing laws by fiat? real 1936 vibes

One may never know.

you have strugatsky bros and ilf and petrov, which are semi known (first chapters of the little golden calf are just funny for car brain emergence). Also, i believe there are tons of books about ww2/civil war. sholohov is somewhat famous soviet author (apparently even got nobel, for whatever that's worth)

Any book that doesn't do "soviet bad" won't get any acclaim in the west, that seems self evident.

bipartisanship 🥰

probably that fancy mold can, if we approximate it with some gradient of food. Retvrn to modeling economy with waterpipes

sami occupier says what?

could chatbots approximate shareholder behavior?

is hochstein's unparalleled advice the reason?

More to the point, its extremely normal to have foreign military officers to be advisors, i'm sure they won't carry any bias whatsoever in their advice. In fact usa should hire more saudi and foreign legion officers to get more brilliant opinions how to kill civilians to get resources

How good was his advice to foreign affairs committee in the years 1994-2001, and how unbiased he is now

It can be used to spy on any decent scientist who will send papers his/hers/theirs institution has access to, but their friend doesn't. Much fun. As a reminder, publishers don't pay reviewers, don't pay for additional research, editing is typically minimal, and research is funded publicly, so what they own is social capital of owning big journal

Hochstein was born in Israel, the child of American Jewish immigrants. A dual U.S.-Israel national, he served in the Israeli Defense Forces as a tank crewman prior to moving to Washington. He was a foreign policy adviser to Democratic Party members of the U.S. government House Foreign Affairs Committee from 1994 to January 2001

Really makes you think

i've posted about it 3 days ago, when sources were 3 crank sites. The contract doesn't have expiration date that i can find. 50 years has passed, that much is true, but now its allegedly ended (??). Where on earth they got idea the contract was for 50 years to a day, i have no idea.

its some bs, the deal has not been ended and why on earth its suddenly 80 years

soap allows to dissolve fats in small droplets of soap (micelles). Surface tension arises from affinity to the surface, like oil still doesn't like teflon pans, despite being hydrophobic. So no, you can't find one size fits all liquid. (Aside from supercritical fluids, but they require pressures - and sometimes are used in dry cleaning! so this might be your answer)

Delaunay, of the delaunay triangulation fame😀

Soviet mathematician, liked mountain climbing and geometry

The shortest-lived creatures on the Disc were mayflies, which barely make it through twenty-four hours. Two of the oldest zigzagged aimlessly over the waters of a trout stream, discussing history with some younger members of the evening hatching. “You don’t get the kind of sun now that you used to get, “ said one of them. “You’re right there. We had proper sun in the good old hours. It were all yellow. None of this red stuff.” “It were higher, too.” “It was. You’re right.” “And nymphs and larvae showed you a bit of respect.” “They did. They did,” said the other mayfly vehemently. “I reckon, if mayflies these hours behaved a bit better, we’d still be having proper sun.” The younger mayflies listened politely. “I remember, “ said one of the oldest mayflies, “when all this was fields, as far as you could see.” The younger mayflies looked around. “It’s still fields,” one of them ventured, after a polite interval. “I remember when it was better fields,” said the old mayfly sharply. “Yeah, “ said his colleague. “And there was a cow.” “That’s right! You’re right! I remember that cow! Stood right over there for, oh, forty, fifty minutes. It was brown, as I recall.” “You don’t get cows like that these hours.” “You don’t get cows at all.”

which country you from homie? I can find you a massacre you have long forgotten and nobody was punished.

here it is from another angle

The case against Daniel Jadue has its origins in 2021, when the medical supply company Best Quality filed a lawsuit for fraud against ACHIFARP, insisting that the company had sold supplies to the association and were not paid for it and that there was an existing 1 million dollar debt. Following this, several other lines of investigation were opened up by the Prosecutor regarding the municipality’s people’s pharmacy, over “illicit activity” conducted by employees. Then in 2023, the Comptroller’s Office filed charges against Recoleta’s mayor, accusing him of failing to uphold probity while leading ACHIFARP.

lawfare alive and well seems like
