Also the states lacked the capacity to consistently pay and supply the troops so they plundered the civilian population.

I don’t think Plaid winning is that great news, yes better than reform but still primarily a nationalist party than a progressive one.

I think mainly that but also the private training companies were better at marketing and promotions too.

I think just changing the electoral system so you can’t win a huge majority with circa 30-35% would be enough. I don’t think the current govt would be any worse with lab-green-lib-dem coalition.

Yeah I’ve got some time today so I’m going to have a look but wouldn’t use it for signing in anywhere important. Maybe I’ll do a deep dive on historical stuff and see how it gets on.

Even my ai worshiping tech bro friends have played around with it but are not using as a daily driver due to privacy and security worries

The officers were especially brave, walking about on the quarter deck during a battle and not even supposed to duck or take cover

Also if they were ahead in the polls, they wouldn’t be doing half this extreme stuff

It’s not a huge thing on Sky, BBC or the times. I think the conservatives are mostly ignored these days.

Question is whether it’s better that they pay a little tax and stay or leave and pay zero. They like London so you can tax to them to a certain level.

It actually wasn’t too bad for the times. They fed the sailors well and did promote from the ranks subject to the person passing the lieutenant exams.

No you’ve got an extremely biased Supreme Court that will suddenly reign in the executive if it’s a democrat

He’s learned from the first disastrous White House meeting that you don’t say much and then get the Europeans to put pressure on the admin

Downloaded to see how much it charges and it’s like 3.99 for 5 images. Heavy use of ai costs a fair amount of money in my experience
