If you're on a mountain road so narrow that two cycles and a car can't go in parallel with enough space in between, then maybe wait till the road gets wider and flatter before you overtake them?
For one, a third party can gain a foothold much more easily. In the UK, for example, small parties to the left of Labour can win and hold seats in Parliament.
NATO losing to Russia in Ukraine, and to the Houthis in the Gulf of Aden, will send a message to a lot of neutral countries that (1) NATO can't / won't protect you anymore, and (2) you can push back against NATO and win or at least gain concessions. NATO will still be the single largest military bloc in the world, but they'll actually have to negotiate, maybe even compromise.
cycling side by side makes overtaking impossible on mountain roads
I fail to see the problem.
However, drinking water is not the most stringent guideline for water uses. Humans are actually fairly tolerant of junk in drinking water compared to other forms of life. Amphibians for example are much more sensitive to contaminants in water than humans. As home to amphibians and other sensitive organisms, discharge to wetlands can require better quality water than standard drinking water quality.
Not to mention, water that is perfectly fine chemically and biologically can still kill fish and amphibians if it is too warm. Many aquatic animals have very narrow thermal tolerances.
i’m also not sure that the rise of hypersonic missiles means the end of all naval operations. the PLA navy don’t seem to think so. they’re building up a big green water/ coastal defense fleet. in a somewhat similar vein, iran just launched its first aircraft carrier, a design based on a container ship mostly designed for drone launching.
Not disagreeing with your overall analysis, but warships take years to build. The construction of these carriers probably started long before the war.
Is the guy on the left holding his staff correctly? It feels like he is holding it by the end, which would make it easy for her to knock it off.
What can the harvester hope for, if not the approval of The Reaper Man?
Never interrupt an opponent when he is making a fool of himself and his entire movement. - Lula, probably
One big power plant is more efficient, but also a single point of failure. Having multiple medium-sized power plants is more reliable.
Interesting. So where are the other three? Or do they mean that the 'sun' we see is composed of four stars in a trenchcoat so close together that we can't tell them apart?
I mean, Russia probably knows where the bottlenecks are already. Moving large volumes of goods hundreds of kilometers isn't something you can do in secret.
Turns out this advice isn't only about humans.
Boeing has already lost the global market to Airbus. The competition with Comac will be for second place.
Milkshake time?
De-addiction centres? (Although personally I don't think smoking should be banned as long as the smoker does not expose others to the poison.)
I think the more useful thing to do is not to hide these stereotypes, but to state and then question them. There's this passage from Lords and Ladies -
Elves are wonderful. They provoke wonder.
Elves are marvellous. They cause marvels.
Elves are fantastic. They create fantasies.
Elves are glamorous. They project glamour.
Elves are enchanting. They weave enchantment.
Elves are terrific. They beget terror.
The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes look for them behind words that have changed their meaning.
Elves can then be used as an allegory of how the aristocracy does the most horrible things one can imagine, but then surround themselves with an air of refinement.
stories about helicopters firing missiles without targeting carefully or those girls in tanks firing on kibbutz homes without a clear idea of who is inside
Does anyone have a 'reputable' (i.e. Western or at least Al Jazeera) source for both of these? I need to show some people.
