At uni, the go-to liquor at our events was made from malört and we would have shots of it served up. The taste is awful and it sticks in your mouth, I hated every single one but I have never passed it up either.

She's mighty, mighty, just letting it all hang out.

While voter apathy is widespread in the US, note that voter disenfranchisement has been honed over decades so many people either didn't get to vote or could not vote because the impact to them short-term was too great to afford making decisions for the long term (e.g. people losing their jobs while living paycheck-to-paycheck).

Thank you. I feel like people either think "Stalin was a socialist/communist and a horrible leader" or "Stalin was a socialist/communist and good, actually" instead of considering that maybe the socialist branding was just the propaganda they used to justify the dictatorship.

Rogue One was leaps and bounds above the sequel trilogy but I would still say it's not a great movie. Once it gets up to speed and the whole cast has been properly introduced, it's fantastic, but it takes so much of the movie until it gets to that point. Even as a fan, the first half of the movie is a slog where the main character has very little agency or drive, and they're basically just being brought along instead of driving the plot. It's a movie that, in my opinion, starts poorly and ends amazingly.

There is also a Swedish stereotype that Finnish people always have knives and that they take them out when they're drunk.

But cycle life is a central parameter for the cost of a battery, the longer it lasts the more rarely you have to replace it. In the longer term, a battery that lasts twice as long can be practically half as expensive.

I kind of foresee this ending with rooms getting spammed with posts that break the rules since the people doing it don't have any sort of barrier of reentry.

I understand the intention but it's important to be realistic about what the actual outcomes are. Is there anything stopping extremists from basically just flooding all rooms with hate?

The network effect is one reason, if users are responsible for the content then there will be a shortage of content until enough users join.

Beyond that, humans are social creatures and want to fit in. If your community mainly hangs out on one platform, people will want to be a part of that platform. What helps is if people with a large enough following or entire communities make the decision to change platform, but that can be tricky.

Icelandic says hello (save for a few exceptions).

I get more of a reddish brown.

I don't have any of those either, but if I try to think of the letter and then just "feel" a color, what pops up is green. I'm not sure if it's the shape or the sound, or that green has two Es in its name, but that's the color that appears for me.

LCOE also does not account completely for time effects associated with matching electricity production to demand

I am unsure why you bring this up seeing as how nuclear power can not react due to load demand and instead only provides base load power, which means other power sources are required to keep up with transient demand.
