If they don't catch the shooter, despite all the bodycam footage and local security cameras, then it might be a false-flag operation.

If they do catch the shooter, then maybe it was a hothead who took the bait. Don't take the bait.

Given that the "tech-bros" have been fairly open about the USA annexing Canada in order to use it as a cooling rig, I would lean towards suspicion here.

losers. Do something with what you've got instead of feeling resentful that some other country did the work.

Does it matter? After all, even if such advances in science were proprietary (and, unlike technologies, they shouldn't be) the USA's failure to develop and promote devices and components based on that science are its own fault.

Don't complain if you can't capitalise on an opportunity: That's for

create-react-app.dev/docs/getting... might give you the boilerplate you want. Since I've worked with a few languages and frameworks over the years, I'll also offer the opinion that basic skills matter as much as knowledge of frameworks - so you might also find that Python or Kotlin suit your needs.

I'm no kind of doctor, so the answer's simple: The proctologist, because any medical blunders I might make would soon be forgotten by the dementia-riddled Dear Leader.

To an extent, but Russia has so badly overreached itself this time that their permanent seat on the Secutiry Council is at risk. The perception of Russia as a powerful nation has been cracked; because of that, the nicest reponse that they could expect to ecological attacks would be sanctions.

With a smattering of other AT-protocol services, perhaps? I think that one lesson we can learn from the failures of Usenet and Twitter is that a monolithic discussion forum can be co-opted or reduced to uselessness by outside agencies. Diversity is one key to survival.

I like to think of it as their weirdness bubbling up to the surface. Having lived with the threat of random death for two or three years, folk might have a little less patience with superficial normality.

Of course, that doesn't always mean that it's a good kind of strangeness. Alas.

Perhaps it's also notable when the story doesn't change: It would be pleasant to find a lawyer with integrity, especially if they can accept that they have been wrong about something.

Wise commissars or agents would tell the captain to surrender their vessel, and live to go home. By the point that this hypothetical situation came to pass, Putin's regime would already be failing.

violence against the bridge crew are more feasible than attacks on the hull.

Practicalities aside, I would prefer ships' masters to do the sensible thing and surrender their vessels if required by local authority: One duty of a captain is to see to the safety of their crew and ship.

The risk of spillage and fire in that sort of situation is something that might well have been - or should soon be - studied by the professionals who would handle it. It's noteworthy that the bridges of these vessels are typically high up above their cargo holds, which means that some forms of

That's the blackmail option that occurred to me: I find myself wondering whether there's enough kinetic response available to prevent such a deliberate oil spillage. Ecoterrorism would probably be a last-ditch gamble on the part of Putin's regime, though, as it would basically be an act of war.

Not weird at all, if you've been there. Take your time with these changes. Memories become easier to handle over time.

I think it's remarkable that the president of the United States would need a sign to show him where his own office is.

Er... You might want to read about the Gallipoli campaign in 1915. That was a fairly bad plan, as I recall, but it still went ahead to failure.

You say that they're socialist, but the British started public libraries in 1850 as a means of "civilising" and controlling the general public: They were originally a tool of social regulation by the elites of the day, with the aim of heading off 1848-style revolutions.

If you're building the helmet as part of a test of a hunter's mettle, then limiting its features is a logical design element: One doesn't want things to be too easy.

As I recall from the lore, only senior Predators go bare-faced at the start of a hunt...

Vangers? I haven't seen that for quite a while. For all that the original's a minor classic, I'd like to see an updated version.

Let's see that in absolute growth figures rather than relative ones, eh? The UK was playing catch-up the last I heard, so surprise me and show me some solid figures.

There's an old trope about the spell dying with the sorcerer, and I can't help but notice that Dick Cheney has fallen off his perch.

You may find it useful to look into vector art packages such as Inkscape or Affinity; these can export as SVG or bitmap. Spiral drawing is a default tool in Inkscape.
