I think we only differ in optimism here. You think good leaders can still turn it around. And I doubt it. Either way, I wasn't foretelling the UN's demise.

I appreciate your sentiments in italics and bold text concerning war. I understand that tone is hard to decipher here. If you have taken from my text that I'm pro-war then allow me point out that I am not. I've merely pointed out historical precedence and extrapolated from there. I thought it obvious that the scenario I drew is undesirable. I guess I was wrong, wasn't I.

You could make an argument that its usefulness has decreased the way it is set up right now. Reform seems unlikely as some of the big guys would have to give up on their vetoes. The fact that France and Britain continue to sit permanently in the Security Council yet no one permanently from Africa or South America says everything.

So it's not impossible that some countries will leave frustrated but I think this will be a rare occurrence. Most sober heads will still value diplomatic channels even if they are imperfect.

These international organizations kind of need a world war to reform themselves. WW2 was sort of the end of the League of Nations and the UN took its place. So what we need now is WW3 to get the UN to adapt better to our world today. That sounds great, doesn't it.

If you don't know what you're doing I suggest you don't buy a jukebox online but at a local store. That way you're probably on the safe side. The link one looks like the German version and your post pic is France/Belgium. They're not compatible. Plugs are a non-EU-standardized mess.

Being asked anyway.

Remind me never to cross you.

Not being asked a version of this question every other day or so.

I believe you should fart excessively around it and indeed encourage fellow commuters to join in, as it will provide terrible air quality results here. Which will in turn improve ventilation measures in this area, which would not have happened otherwise. Checkmate! The act of observing alters the results!

If you're on Android, by any chance, have you gone through all the battery optimization, background process killing, and startup settings? Some OEM's versions of Android are real bad in that way. Giving the app the right settings and permissions may decrease the number of delayed notifications like that.

I don't think speaking the language immediately condones the horrible acts of the people who spoke it in the past. German should've creased to exist 80 years ago.

There are certainly situations where use of English could be considered offensive, say, at a memorial of an atrocity. Carve those situations out and have a plan B - there is no necessity to all speak the same language all the time. It's enough if a good number of people in the right positions do. And consider that there already are English speakers in France, Iran, and North Korea (3 random examples that don't all love English-speaking countries).

English is already the lingua franca of the world and has displaced French as the language of diplomacy. In Europe before that were the Frankish tongue, Latin, Greek. Other places had other languages. It's no shoe-in that English will remain at the top but in our lifetimes I don't think it will change.

My review came with an asterisk. I mainly wanted to point out how to get it free so you can make up your own mind.

The short answer is no but the long answer is yes. You can fight like the old guy from Up! but in the end you'll probably lose (YMMV because of location).

Municipal planning though often involves spaces allocated for roads and stuff. So the plots of land don't all border each other but imaginary roadways have already been drawn up if not built already.
