Well that’s a lovely read. Sounds like he was a very nice man.

Perfect. Thank you!

khannie , 1 month ago to news in Senate Democrats to force second vote on border bill that Republicans blocked

You’ll have to excuse my ignorance here but my understanding was that Democrats could force something through the senate with the VP as the deciding vote? Has something changed in the meantime or am I recalling incorrectly?

I’m not sure and I think there are people with more expertise who will come up with better solutions but I do feel like a tactical nuke is his trump card so I expect him to play it if things go worse for him given their comparatively low yield and very high shock value.

I think if a response was laid out to him in advance he might be less likely to cross that line. As it stands he can more or less choose to use a tactical nuke on Ukrainian soil knowing that much hand wringing will follow.

One example might be to say that Ukraine will be given a tactical nuke for use at their discretion on the battlefield for each one he uses. It would certainly cause pause for thought whether or not it was even followed through on.

I think it was smart enough to let them do the withdrawal instead of us doing the expulsion tbh. They look like they’re having a tantrum now because of it.

You can’t have a two state solution without two states. Calm down lads.

That Russian ambassador though… I would very much like to see him kicked out. His justification of the invasion to Tubridy was disgusting to watch.

khannie , 1 month ago to world in Ireland to recognise Palestinian state

There was quite a bit of speculation that we would do the formal recognition yesterday and I suppose this announcement is essentially it as nothing will stop it.

I wonder if the extra few days before formal recognition is to allow some on the fence to join in / possibly to allow for the slow wheels of bureaucracy to turn. I’m not sure what legal steps have to be taken to formally recognise a country. I don’t suppose it happens very often.

It’s no surprise to me that they’ve recalled their ambassador. Quite a few opposition politicians here have been calling for the expulsion anyway so it seemed like an inevitability.

There need to be clear consequences for breaking the taboo before he does it, otherwise he’ll do it.

He has shown how little he cares for what others think of his breaking of taboos.

khannie , 1 month ago to asklemmy in What's the most notable difference between you and the other people in your neighborhood?

or just don’t at all

I would wager it’s this one. I found that folks who noticed my activity levels tended not to be active themselves so it stood out to them.

That is cool.

You might enjoy Adrian Tchaikovsky’s series “Children of Time”. It’s a fascinating sci-fi series that examines how other species might communicate and a fantastic read (or listen).

khannie , 1 month ago to funny in Norway has some surprising stats

I was curious so went digging a little.

This page says 2.2M 60KG bags in 2023 which works out at just over 5KG per capita (2.2 x 60M / 26M). That would put Australia around Croatia level on that graph.

So something smells. Not sure if it’s the dry weight part as roasted coffee is lighter than the unroasted beans that come in those huge bags but those beans are dried. Maybe that graph is just plain wrong.

Anyway… It looks like you guys are fair coffee junkies alright.

khannie , 1 month ago to funny in Norway has some surprising stats

Well it might just be a mistake.

Norway is second on that per capita list and USA is first in tonnage. I could see how USA first, Norway second could be bungled out of that. Perhaps after a glass of wine or two. Or three maybe.

12KG of dried beans per capita is astounding. Those Scandinavians are giants among us.

Wash your mouth out with radioactive waste you dirty Philistine.

Shandy is fine on a hot summer day if you have to drive. Pleasant, even.

That drink is the greatest assault on the Irish nation since bloody Sunday.

khannie , 1 month ago to lemmyshitpost in who's tried it? what does it taste like?

It tastes like blood because you’re going to get punched in your potty mouth for ordering it.
