@wrathofgnon Reminds me of a headline in my local paper that surprised me; "Lack of masons can delay new cathedral"
Turns out we were not replacing the local cathedral, its a club building a miniature city that lacked 'mini-masons' to keep the planned reveal date for their cathedral model
@Rasterblath@JadenPMcNeil@Zeezlebop Bricks and Minifigs franchise store takes 200K worth of legos on consignment
BAM corporate takes over store, unilaterally breaks consignment contract, refuse to give consignment legos back (theft by conversion)
Shenanigans ensue. LOTS of shenanigans.
@PukeLiters@wrathofgnon In essence yes. It does depend a bit on local climate and geology, but dry or mortared stone foundations can work in most of the world.
In temperate and cold climates, just make sure it extends deep enough to avoid damage from frost heaves.
Don't trust AI, verify with humans.
@Alex47964382@TatsuyaIshida9 The soviets did historically mass troops in the territories bordering the Axis in 1941.
Anticipation of Operation Barbarossa or intend to strike first, who can say but Stalin? Either way they were caught off guard and lost some 4 million men by years end.
@endinyat@TerribleMaps Come on, separation of powers is like 5th grade social science. Thats not what an executive branch does.
Subject to constitutional limits the Danish king has a veto power on legislation and the power to appoint and dismiss ministers to enforce the laws and administer the realm.
@rzep8 Bulk return machines have a major drawback: theyโre easy to disable unintentionally.
Someone mistakes your bottle bag for trash and tosses in screws or other machine-unfriendly things. When returning one by one you'll likely notice and leave them out, less so when emptying a bag.
@EuropeanPan I'd guess Scots jokes in Hungary are old pre-ww2 jokes about penny-pinching jews, with a new nationality to avoid antisemitism accusations.
Thats where most Danish jokes about Scots come from, so I figure its probably similar.
@JoeRoon73099109@UrbanCourtyard Europe has had copper and lead roofs since roman times, but they were prohibitively expensive so you mostly saw them on churches, castles, and later universities. With developments in metal rolling in the 16th and 17th c. reducing both material and labour costs, its use exploded.
