You don’t get access to anything you’re not working with and if you do have access and they found out you used it to spy on your kids then you’re probably getting fired.

You have to convince the swing state undecided voters, not new yorkers.

They were talking about buying Swedish Gripen instead of US F-35. I’m not sure exactly how far along those plans were.

It looked easy but It’s ludicrously difficult to do. Russia tried something similar in Ukraine and got bogged down in a war they still have not got out of.

The fact that it worked and did not turn into another black hawk down scenario is like you say months of preparing, someone on the inside high enough to have information and dislike Maduro enough and a good batch of luck.

Europe would not be able to help much even with greenland under control. The US navy is much stronger and a lot of Europe’s navy is tailored for coastal defense.

The reason why I think he would not invade canada (or greenland) is that NATO would effectively dissolve which would be good for China.

Possibly natural resources.

Place to put ports or airbases. Though they can do that if they ask Denmark nicely, and they have an airbase there called Thule or something iirc.

I think the devil is in the details.

How accountable are the top? What incentives do they have when they make decisions?

What alternatives exist that is better without becoming byzantine in their implementation?

I have only talked to one Venezuelan, she is not going to miss Maduro.

Still something very dubious to do that they did not do because of the plight of the Venezuelan people.

I hope (but don’t really expect) that the Trump admin figured out approximately what will happen after he is gone. A decade of civil war or cartels dividing up the country won’t make anything better.

Play around with the words. A good rule of thumb If you can’t change the word white/black without coming across as racist then you are a racist.

Feel free to do the same with man/woman, gay/straight or whatever your favourite disadvantaged/advantaged is.

You should not ask for health advice online.

I’d avoid being associated with communists at all costs.

Once a week or two depending on how much other laundry I’ve got.

I’ll replace them when they fall apart.

Physical gold? Not very compared to bank transfers. Be prepared to show the paper trail proving that you did not steal it.

I belive that change will come when both of us are dead. To me the 20s still mean 1920.

I know there is a website either government or privately maintained with a reasonably recent law text.

I’m sure the library could lend me a copy of the laws if I asked.

It’s a meme that women smell fishy. If you do, then you should check with your gyn.

It will remove some amount of material when you cut.

If it is enough for anyone to care about is another question.

Or was the question what happens on a molecular level and if cutting is any different than sawing at that level?

Don’t have any local markets. In the south you can pick up some groceries straight from the farmer but I live too far north for farming.

Because it’s cheap and easy to produce. Biofuels compete with food and forests. Not sure how much waste products can cover. Either way the biodiesel is about twice the price of the regular stuff here and has a lower tax rate than regular diesel (~43% tax rate)

It has a very high energy density. First Google result approx 10x that of batteries in EVs.

All the infrastructure is already built. EVs are becoming better and better options but the grid needs to be upgraded and the generation capacity increased.

Depends on what you want to achieve.

It’s a hedge against inflation. So in times of high inflation and economic uncertainty it will do well.

Keeping a small amount in a safe in case the world goes to shit, well only after you have a pile of guns, ammunution and canned food.

It’s not a productive asset. If you buy stocks you’ll probably be better off in the long run.

That being said your investment portfolio should not be only one kind of investment and gold should probably be a part of it eventually.
