Where in Berlin are they going to find a spare platform they can install UK immigration control infrastructure around (of the sort they have in Paris/Brussels)? Given the long distance such a journey would cover, the demand would be lower than from a 3-hour Eurostar trip, meaning that taking a station platform and enough space for passport control booths just for a few passengers would be of dubious value.
Because Chewbacca, a Wookie, is from Endor, but there are no Wookies on Endor, of course.
They need to build a dedicated course that can accommodate the teams’ own trams (with multi-gauge tracks and adjustable voltages), rather than just using the host city’s ones.
Kovid is a plausible Indian name (the developer of Calibre is named Kovid Goyal). Not sure if spelling it with a C is common, though.
What’s the point of war if not boobs?
It’s an utterly hideous McMansion riddled with neoclassical embellishments that don’t make architectural sense, isn’t it?
If they’re going to enforce that rule impartially, they’ll have to ban Crusader Kings III as well.
They’ll have to change the Crusader Kings games to remove the possibility of strategic cousin marriages, to comply with the letter of the law.
They spoke in codes. A lot of those hokey greeting cards from the Victorian era, with specific flowers and chaste, maudlin sentiments, were probably widely understood as codes for the most torrid of passions.
Listening to sad playlists is a good sign: it shows that at least you feel something.
“encompassed all of Poland” except for the half or so taken by Prussia/Germany and the Habsburg/Austro-Hungarian Empire.
I once caught a cab in Belfast and, in the 15 or so minutes, the driver revealed he was a former paramilitary fighter, and recounted a conspiracy theory about the sinking of the Titanic having been faked as an insurance scam.
Means of cisport include swings, rocking chairs and smaller amusement park rides.
CBS settled because a corrupt Trump administration could have cost them far more through acts of revenge. Settling was the cost of doing business. AOC doesn’t have any business interests a hostile, weaponised government could harm, so unless the legal system has been corrupted to the point where the government could charge her with libel (or treason or terrorism or anything else; at this point, there is no longer meaning, only power) because they say so, she has a solid defence.
They built something like this for an exhibition of Andy Warhol’s 1980s computer paintings some years ago. They wanted to show the art on Amiga 1000s like the one he used, but both the computers and their CRT monitors were too flaky to manage, so they put a Raspberry Pi running an emulator in an Amiga case. For the display, they took the case of an Amiga monitor and mounted a OLED panel behind an acrylic sheet.

This is what unmedicated mental illness looks like.
If your kick is performative contrarianism/“owning the libs”/gleefully being an asshole these days, wrapping yourself in a big ol’ Israeli flag is going to look mighty tempting.
The fact that these dinguses have more money than most people will ever see in their lives and spurt unimaginable sums of it up the wall in the throes of delusions, commanding thousands of lives and squandering resources that could have built useful things is a repudiation of the just-world meritocratic ideas that rationalise the status quo.
