@Alexbrowder_ Congratulations! You must be one of the youngest ever to receive such an honour!

[Tor Harald Nævdal @TorVdal]

@joni_askola Sure, Massie is horrible. But from what little I know of Gallrein, he seems just as bad in every way, but will ALSO vote to hide the Epstein files and be 100% loyal to Trump. I don't see any kind of win here.

@lauriewired Genetics is only a tiny fraction of the issue, I believe. The number of times I've seen business documents with errors like this... Also: the UK/US decimal points vs commas many other places, and the MM/DD vs DD/MM, etc, when people from different countries collaborate...

@BlakeoutVoid @lauriewired There are several work-arounds, depending on the type of problem. The one I typically use is to format the relevant columns as text before pasting or entering data.

Microsoft REALLY should have fixed this 30 years ago, like only guess it's a date when the cell format is date.

@HickeyjmJack @daringlucile But those institutions only dealt with children that had been born. And none were within 100s of kms from where Anni-Frid was conceived.

I prefer talk about Nazi breeding programs to be about much darker things than this, e.g. Mengele. Or if soldiers were told to rape to breed

[Tor Harald Nævdal @TorVdal]

@HickeyjmJack @daringlucile I prefer Wikipedias way of describing it. The Lebensborn program was a bunch of homes set up to help those babies, as well as adopting some of them to other countries. There were 9 such institutions in Norway, but Anni-Frid was born half a year after the war.

[Tor Harald Nævdal @TorVdal]

@HickeyjmJack @daringlucile These articles also talk about it as children with a German soldier as a father. Sure, the Nazi leadership encouraged having children with pure raced women in occupied countries, particularly Norway, but I wouldn't call that a "program".

[Tor Harald Nævdal @TorVdal]

@HickeyjmJack @daringlucile Yes, that's clear. Like many Norwegians born at the time, she had a German soldier as a father, and that brought great shame on the family. But what has that to do with Lebensborn or any other Nazi program?

@Mofobian @LCDS_2 And by the way, it should never be up to everyone else to prove wild accusations to be false. It's the other way around: If you make serious allegations you must have some kind of evidence. Anyone who spreads this BS can never be taken seriously.

[Tor Harald Nævdal @TorVdal]

@Mofobian @LCDS_2 Did you read your own fact-checking? "convicted and sentenced ... for false reports...", "child testimonies ... were shown to be manipulated, induced, or false", "investigative journalism ... consistently label it a baseless conspiracy theory", "fact-checkers disproved it"

@Emm66Nazarenko @igorsushko It's the OPPOSITE of gerrymandering. In fact, it's one of the things the US badly needs to introduce, to at least reduce the incentives to gerrymander. We've had such leveling seats in Scandinavia since "forever".

[Tor Harald Nævdal @TorVdal]

@GoalBlogs @UnforcedAG @AdamKinzinger Can't believe there still are people doing satire those last years. Real world just keeps "trumping" whatever absurdity anyone can come up with.

[Tor Harald Nævdal @TorVdal]

@GIRUxGIRU @DanNeidle @TomTugendhat Tbh, you don't need to be a software engineer to reach that conclusion..

[Tor Harald Nævdal @TorVdal]

@DanNeidle In Norway, each side presents their legal costs as the final act in the court room. When the ruling comes, it includes a section at the end about the legal costs, so we know immediately whether the judge also awards us the legal costs. Thought it was the same everywhere.

[Tor Harald Nævdal @TorVdal]

@DanNeidle Great to see you got the right decision! There is always some risk a judge misunderstands something crucial, no matter how clearly you're in the right. But in such clear one sided rulings, does not the losing side end up paying the legal costs of the winner in British courts?

[Tor Harald Nævdal @TorVdal]

@MindandEmotion7 Tbh, I'd expect there to be hundreds of James Fitzgeralds in North America.
