1 month agoIt has been added to OpenStreetMap. It says official_name:en-US = Lake America
It’s not the name that is likely to show when viewing the map, but it’s in the data.

4·2 months agoIt’s already occupied for one. It also doesn’t really seem fit for the purpose, with a large portion of the building dedicated to a big entry hall that seems to be for throwing parties.
The term is tropical cyclone, no matter where it forms. Typhoon and hurricane are colloquial names.
16·2 months agothat mathematical principle where verifying an answer is as difficult as computing the answer in the first place
You’re thinking of the P vs NP problem, but you got the details wrong. There are known cases where the answer is easy to verify.
311·2 months agoThere’s an election coming. Ukraine is popular. Trump has sent out his minions to make it seem like he also supports Ukraine in an attempt to prevent Republicans from losing too much in the election. He still doesn’t support Ukraine.
It’s just propaganda.
4·3 months agoHe didn’t throw away 2.4 million votes. Harris county (voter population: 2.4 million) wanted to expand voting options, Paxton prevented that, as in the mail-in ballots were never sent out.
1.6 million people in Harris county still voted in the 2020 election. That’s a voter turnout of 68.14%. The state of Texas had a voter turnout of 60.8%.
reported by Politico that four people speaking regularly with VP Biden had privately told the mhe was unlikely to run for reelection in 2024
The Politico article quoted several anonymous people and in it they only shared their personal opinion and not anything that Biden said. So your description of that article is wrong, you are lying.
I’ll provide quotes:
“If Biden is elected,” a prominent adviser to the campaign said, “he’s going to be 82 years old in four years and he won’t be running for reelection.”
Anonymous personal opinion.
“This makes Biden a good transition figure,” the adviser said. “I’d love to have an election this year for the next generation of leaders, but if I have to wait four years [in order to] to get rid of Trump, I’m willing to do it.”
Anonymous personal opinion.
Another top Biden adviser put it this way: “He’s going into this thinking, ‘I want to find a running mate I can turn things over to after four years but if that’s not possible or doesn’t happen then I’ll run for reelection.’ But he’s not going to publicly make a one term pledge.”
Anonymous personal opinion.
But none of these are relevant, because shortly after the campaign responded:
"Lots of chatter out there on this so just want to be crystal clear: this is not a conversation our campaign is having and not something VP Biden is thinking about,” deputy campaign manager Kate Bedingfield tweeted.
Not anonymous and an official statement from the campaign.
So I repeat myself:
Anonymous people said that they thought he would, and when journalists immediately asked the Biden campaign they denied it. For some reason people take as gospel what anonymous people thought someone else would do.
How do you get a one term promise out of any of that? Whether he runs one term or two terms he would still be handing things off to younger politicians. It’s almost tautological considering how old he was.
"I don’t have plans on one term,” Biden told reporters between campaign stops in Nevada. "I’m not even there yet.”
1 term president as he stated
No, he never said he would only run one term. Anonymous people said that they thought he would, and when journalists immediately asked the Biden campaign they denied it. For some reason people take as gospel what anonymous people thought someone else would do.
The short answer is No. United States allows foreign nationals to naturalize and become U.S. citizens and the country also allows people to hold dual nationality. People who are citizens of foreign countries may become U.S. citizens and they may not be required to give up their current nationality.
Renouncing your previous citizenship is not really up to the U.S. Government but rather your previous country. Citizenship laws differ from country to country and some countries do not allow the citizens to hold dual citizenship.
Θώθ has both upper case and lower case Greek characters, and a diacritic above the ω.
I suppose it would have been written ΘΩΘ.
251·5 months agoIt’s not the same thing but it’s not unrelated. It’s owned by the same company that owns Fox News.
They’re not going to have video because he never said that.
It stems from this Politico article in which anonymous people express their personal opinions about what someone else should do and for some reason everyone believes it was Biden personally making a pledge.
He said he was only going to do one term really early on.
No, he never said that. Anonymous people said that they thought he would, and when journalists immediately asked Biden he said he had no plans for running one term. No one remembers what Biden said, and for some reason take as gospel what anonymous people thought someone else would do.

for having recorded during a plenary session an interaction between a Member of the European Parliament and a member of the administration without their consent
Well, obviously, they are going to act to protect themselves. I don’t know the specifics of these cases, but these are public figures during a public session that was being recorded and the EU parliament makes those recordings publicly available. I don’t think there should be an expectation of privacy there. If you want a private conversation do it someplace else.
the President had decided to impose a penalty on Leila Chaibi for having recorded herself
Well, that makes the headline misleading. She was filming herself, I assume she had her own consent.
It’s a Canadian website.
The importation of slaves had been banned in the US since 1808, about 60 years before 14th amendment. The vast majority, if not all, of the people that were granted citizenship by the 14th amendment would have been born in the US and been several generations removed from anyone that lived in Africa.
It’s the exact same mistake that racists keep making: Assuming that any brown person that they see is from some other country.
That’s a terrible argument, as expected from Barrett. I guess we’re just fortunate that the other guys are so stupid.
It depends on which map you are looking at. Anyone could take the OSM data and create a map that prefers to show official_name:en-US, when available.
