@IterIntellectus The shot with the partially assembled Raptors is great too.

@jogothy @MiriVinni You have to make sure you frame it not as "how could I win you?" but as "how could I do better in general?"

If there's something really specific and off-putting that you're doing, hopefully they'll be willing to tell you

@Empty_America And because of his shitty drawing skills, he's left both the Nile delta and Carthage on the outside of the circle.

@IterIntellectus @augusteprompt "Northern Italy" is a funny way of spelling Gaul.

This is the most realistic imagining of future life on Mars that I've done yet. Complete with heavy windows and overhang for cosmic ray protection.

And even with all that, it can still be a beautiful place.

@swizze_gfrank @deerghoul @mattyglesias No phonics curriculum is going to require kids to learn "religion" or "region" before they learn about soft gs or the "ion" ending.

[Laurier @WilfirdLaurier]

@swizze_gfrank @deerghoul @mattyglesias That's not a sight word failure. Sight words are words that need to be added to the child's vocabulary before they learn all the rules needed to sound it out. Kids need to learn "the" before they learn about the sounds of "th".

@KirkegaardEmil I'd add nationality to the post-quiz survey.

[Laurier @WilfirdLaurier]

@Areopagitic146 I doubt that's the only thing he cares about.

He probably also wants to direct as much government funding to his family and people as possible.

@Northernmon @Johnmcternan @whazell The first point is the status quo. The second point could be more easily accomplished by Parliament passing a bill stating Mauritius has no legal right to the Chagos Islands. On the third point, a non-binding advisory opinion of the ICJ is not international law.

[Laurier @WilfirdLaurier]

@Johnmcternan @whazell What did England get from the deal? Everything in it is either a giveaway to Mauritius or maintaining the status quo.

A Boy Scouts booklet from 1964 explaining how to properly fly and display the Canadian Red Ensign, along with its history and meaning.

@julianboolean_ People mostly don't use reason and cost benefit analyses to make decisions, they just do what everyone else is doing.

[Laurier @WilfirdLaurier]

@doodhcha @redpilledhawk Saying that the income has already been taxed has no bearing on whether a form of spending (remittances) should be taxed.

@RizomaSchool I just don't think efficiency matters here. If the energy wasn't being used to create methanol, it would be heating up sand instead. Is that useful?

[Laurier @WilfirdLaurier]

@RizomaSchool The energy payback time of a solar panel was about one year in 2013. It's probably lower now. No idea what the energy cost of the machinery is; as a prototype I'm sure it's very high.

@relatively_easy @yuanyi_z @Kpopggstan1 Ryerson's been a university for 33 years. That's old enough to have a good idea what happens to its alumni.

You're right to push back, you did not want to play a game of thermonuclear war.
