Can't say I can speak for Ukraine and Taiwan as you do but I would imagine Taiwan wouldn't want a status qou with missiles striking Taipei on an almost daily basis.

Was stuck on level 7 and came back to the thread to read the comments. Can't belive your first prompt actually printed the answer in a such easy manner.

In regarding the Mammoth there is some who claims that bringing the Mammoth back would help recreate the northern subarctic steppe grassland ecosystem that flourished in Siberia during the last glacial period. This would increase the animal density in Siberia and so on.

It's tradition in the Swedish navy to give the largest and mightiest ships name from the Swedish royal regalia. But sure doesn't sound intimidating.

Since parts of Northern Europe still experiences Post-glacial rebound and will rise faster than the expected rise of the ocean level I find this project unnecessary. (I am still a sucker for megaprojects though)

The United States do not have the ability to degrade or deny a gps signal based on location unless that particular location has a physical GPS jammer. I don't see what the US would gain from disrupting civilian airtraffic navigation. Just stop with your "either is a likely cause here"-spiel.

I disagree with the article you posted in almost its entirely. > president, Viktor Yanukovich, was forced to flee for his life. What Ukraine experienced in 2014 was not a coup. The Ukrainian parliament deposed him after he left the country and after the parliament had order the security forces to stand down and leave the capital. I could go on how factually and biased that article is.

What's next? You're gonna claim Cuba is the fault of the Soviet union?

Not necessarily. Northern most part of Scandinavia have among the lowest prices for electricity in Northern and Central Europe. Most of the electricity there comes from Hydropower. It's also the same area where Sweden makes it green steel. Cheap and green electricity is not an oxymoron or impossibility.

I do not understand the argument for hydroelectric. The risk never seems worth the reward. Clean now? Yes. Cheap now? Yes. Potentially catastrophic? Yes. This feels like an unnecessary risk to take on. The lessons of Banqiao Dam, Vajont Dam, and Sempor Dam seem to be forgotten too quickly.

Despite that I think that both nuclearpower and hydropower are good and safe sources of electricity.

Putin has not shown to be an reliable ally. The annexation of Crimea and the ongoing hybrid war in east Ukraine is one such example.

Putin does not want a strong independent ally next to Russia. He either wants puppet states such as Belarus as allies or a weak and fractured European union. For all the faults the US have they are still better allies than Russia by several lightyears.

That might be a possible future, but why is starlink required in that process? I can definitely see a future where we have space telescopes without giant satellite swarms obstructing the view from Earth.

I do not see the EU even close as an empire. Are you perhaps British? Or Greek? The EU don't even have a common foreign policy or a cohesive monetary policy across its member countries. The EU is imo a protective "members only club" if you're in you get good deals if you're not then tough luck.

That just seems like a generally bad advice. It's true that we can't know everything but we usually kinda know something and from that we can act.

/r/AskHistorians like /r/AskScience are and retain a high quality due to the moderation efforts by the volunteer moderators. Deleting unsourced claims and jokes is for me a good thing.

Should clarify that Madsen was kicked out of Copenhagen Suborbitals years before he murdered someone.

I feel what your talking about is a non issue. Now, I think NFT is all a scam but I do believe that people think they can make money out of it.

NFTs are for digital artworks, it is an artificial way to create scarcity. A physical painting is already scarce. Burning an actual Van Gogh would be like burning down a house and saying it's okay because the deeds to the house are fine.

If you check https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=insiderpaper.com all the submitted articles are from the same user. Seems fishy, should we alert the mods?

They actually did have a store once upon time. And I can definitely see them bringing back to subreddits.

I think he meant a litteral patch over one of the eyes, not a software patch.

Here is a few more picture more: http://www.messynessychic.com/2013/11/15/the-forgotten-giant...

I also find these kind of things cool. Forgotten structures that once served an important roll but now are mostly forgotten.

I fail to see a secret message. What exactly should I be looking for?
