Knights of Guinevere is an animation series by Glitch, the creators of some other amazing works that are freely available on YouTube.

The 2nd episode just came out the other day, the series is set in an amusement park planet, where the two main protagonists (so far) find a damaged Guinevere robot, the mascot of the park, that seems to have experienced some… brutal treatments, and is unlike all the other Guineveres.

I highly recommend their work, it’s really great. The only downside is waiting months in between episodes…

“Your driver is delivering another order first”

Sure ask me again for that tip, APP. Do it. I dare you.

Well yes, he’s just not up to snuff on atacc at the moment.

Don’t make it conditional. That’s how we got into this * waves arms around * mess.

Anyone that thinks that a soup is something you can eat in “bites” is either a lard abuser or lives in some -40°C frozen wasteland

Fight on.

Wait until they make it pay TV…

Yes

Sure

Very insightful, thanks.

Giving up on having a Central Bank has consequences, but none of them are relevant in the context of comparison with US states, as this thread started from, because they also all use the dollar and have the same central bank.

That statement is just too vague to address.

You mean the growth and stability pact? That puts caps on deficit and debt, and would force austerity measures, but had been repeatedly broken, notably by Germany and France in the early 2000s, with no punishments, so it’s a very week mechanism at this point.

The Greek and Portuguese bailouts were negotiated with the “Troika” of the European Central Bank, European Commission and the International Monetary Fund. These weren’t part of EU law at all, but a consequence of the absolute failure of the stability mechanisms and a widespread fear that defaults would drag a bunch of other countries along and cause massive economic turmoil - remember that this is in the follow up to the 2008 crisis.

This is a load of bollocks, I mean, look at the historical US protests like the civil rights movement, anti-Vietnam War protests, suffrage campaigns - all of them changed policies.

What changes nothing is sitting on your ass making up reasons to stay inside.

True, but that came mostly from being in a beggar’s shoes and not so much from how the EU political system is structured, though it’s not like there isn’t any overlap…

That’s not forcing rules on France now is it?

Let me expand on that: unanimity is required for stuff like EU foreign policy and some other sensitive areas, but many things require a qualified majority, not unanimity.

The US goes about it very differently, they wildly misrepresent the Senate, and this spills into other areas like the electoral college or judge appointments, subverting the whole thing.

What the “fixed map with less Frances” aims to show is exactly this, that the US gives small states disproportionate power over everyone, since a minority of the population can control the Senate and, through it, federal legislation and judicial appointments, let alone the presidency.

Time for some math on those EVs

AliExpress has it at like $15 for 5 rolls, don’t know if it’s any good but I mean, for $15 just give it a shot.

Here they sang about tomorrow
And tomorrow never came.

Yeah but Portugal or Greece can’t prevent France from functioning properly or force federal laws unto it, can they.

What’s a “forced reset trigger” and why does it cost $9500 then?

The point is that’s nitpicking the definition.

Technically. Plus couldn’t you just buy it off someone with literally none of those restrictions?
