"Rollenden Königlich"? Ist das wie "Rolls Royce" auf Deutsch heißen soll?

Article says the ceasefire was originally planned for 4 days, so they made the hunger strike coincide with the end of the ceasefire. But then the ceasefire was extended. But they went ahead with hunger strike anyway? Ok…

Is this news current? Isn’t the conflict in like day 3 of ceasefire? Are they still on hunger strike?

Here’s wiktionary:

Although sometimes used, normalcy is less common than normality in American English. It is very rarely used in the UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. It is frequent in India and Zimbabwe however.

So it’s a regional thing.

Although the claim that in US English the “normality” form is more common does not match my experience as a speaker of US English.

I did not recognize that form and assumed it was not a word. I stand corrected.

Do people not remember back in the 2010s when bit.ly was the main link shortener used everywhere on the internet, and then Ghadafi, the then dictator of Libya, declared the site to be incompatible with Muslin decency norms because it was used for porn? And then all bit.ly links were just dead links?

How many times do we have to learn this lesson? Domain name hacks are fun but just not worth it. And in 2023, now we have all the new TLDs. This was a dumb decision

Modern conceptions of medieval warfare drastically overestimate the amount of usage that swords saw in battle. At least that’s a thing I’ve heard.

For the record, I don’t think safari works this way. Every incognito window has its own session I believe

but the encryption keys are not stored on the 1password cloud systems

1password user data is encrypted, right? so even if a hack had allowed a bad actor access to user pw databases, it's not like they would've just scored everyone's passwords.. right?

I guess a guy who would block a POTUS’s constitutional task to appoint a SCOTUS justice would not be above doing the same thing to a dem Kentucky governor over a senate seat.
