I was not aware more information had come out on the exact cause of death, but looking at Wikipedia and the cited sources, it doesn’t seem to exclude the possibility, though an accident is just as tragic given the context I feel

Danya Naroditsky’s suicide recently was very upsetting

I couldn’t find any particular justification going through their website and other communication, it’s not perfect but it’s probably not that big a deal for an open source project to host their code there? If I remember I’ll try to send them a message asking about it

The existence of crime is not a proof of the inexistence of law. Not that I disagree with the general sentiment that international law is applied to the convenience of whoever is stronger, but the US doing something wrong and not getting punished for it has very little to do with France doing something specifically allowed

Flying false flags is a valid reason for a country to board a ship, according to UNCLOS.

That’s sheer optimism, pessimism would be more like: “god emperor trump on his golden throne, kept immortal by the sacrifice of thousands of people every day”

Ending the year full of cheese is ideal

So you got up and immediately went to do it?

Only in Christmas Land

Well, you can count France as not part of most of Europe in that regard, only the areas that were German between 1871 and 1918 have them as public holidays

Yep pretty much

The result of the symptoms could be struggling in school, but it doesn’t have to be is my understanding

The crude idea is that it makes US bonds less desirable, meaning they have to increase the interest rate on them, costing the US a lot of money

Icelanders really like their ice cream, whatever the weather is

Authorities are investigating a possible link to drug trafficking, terrorism implies some sort of political revendication/objective which so far has not been the case

That could still change, a number of the victims might still die from their wounds unfortunately

My personal experience is that I just translate one idiom from one language / culture to the other without realising and still expect ppl. to know what I mean.

That often works in my experience, and can lead to funny moments

I’m not a lawyer (nor married), so my understanding is limited, but if both spouses agree to divorce (with or without agreeing on the exact conditions e.g. childcare), then that would constitute a no fault divorce. It seems to get messier if one spouse doesn’t want to consent to the divorce, then the notion of fault starts appearing. And that’s where my incomplete knowledge stops, both on the letter of the law and how it is applied in practice. The judge seems to have a lot of latitude as to whether the fault, if any, leads to consequences (financial reparations are a possibility).

Even without considering cheese villages (somebody mentioned Roquefort, I was thinking of Gruyere, France clocking in at about 100 inhabitants), I believe Verdun would be just as known and is smaller at a population of around 17000.

Not you again!

Good thing there was almost nothing built specifically for these Olympics. Plenty of concerns and problems, but at least that one isn’t on the list.
