Coconut? ๐Ÿง‰

My company switched from WebEx to Teams and while Teams is not great it's way better than WebEx.

Within my actual team we just use Slack Huddles unless we have to record. For my personal stuff I prefer Jitsi.

No, "on record" means a year that we have recorded. The year 700 BCE is not "on record", but 1970 CE is.

While the author of the comment was trying to imply that it could get worse, actually they are correct in the other direction. Meaning that if the weather turns cooler (like from a volcanic eruption which releases a lot of particles into the upper atmosphere), then it will no longer be the hottest year.

I think that your history is a bit off. The tribes that overturned the western Roman empire were not from Gaul.

If you ask Americans about socialist policies without mentioning parties or ideology, then they overwhelmingly support them. ยฏ\_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

Almost every Dutch person does speak English, but if you get outside of the cities it's often not very good Dutch.

I spent a few years feeling like shit because of my terrible Dutch, until my sister came to visit. My partner had a birthday party during the visit, so lots of the people I had known for years but only spoke Dutch with had to switch to English to chat with my sister. Imagine my surprise to discover that my ridiculous Dutch was better than their English!

This is pretty much how The Handmaiden's Tale book goes. "Terrorists" nuke DC and some Christian fundamentalists take over.

There is an interesting question as to what happens if he dies before being sworn in. It's not clear what succession looks like then, I think....

Voting by mail is inferior to having a voting booth. The women secretly voting for Kamela have a much lower chance of being able to vote as they want by mail-in ballots. Indeed anyone in an unequal power relationship has the same problem.

There's a reason we have voting booths, and it's still important.
