The US? Nothing.

But if you read the classic fascist playbook, a military conflict is an essential stage in grabbing and especially in securing power. A conflict with a near peer like China is too dangerous and costly, but a series of minor to medium conflicts – like war with Panama to “secure” the canal or “liberating” Greenland or Canada might suffice.

It’s totally worth it. But be aware that you might get some :w sprinkled over your documents you are forced to write in other editors or word processors which does not speak vim…

No, that’s just brace expansion.

No, I don’t get the joke of conflating Yiddish and Russian. Would you be so kind to enlighten me?

I’m pretty sure that “Oy wey” is Yiddish, not Russian.

Tesla sells their EVs as technical avantgarde and elitist sports cars. When EVs become commonplace, they’ll face serious competition. People won’t be content with their mediocre build quality and terrible ergonomics any longer. Musk countering EV subsidies is deeply based in reality.

Tbf, that was not only smoke from cigarettes. Combustion engines and furnaces used to add a lot of smoke, too, before the use of catalysators and filters became compulsory.

Maybe the glycoalkaloid content differs between potatoe sorts? I have used sprouted potatoes my whole life without any issues whatsoever. Might have been just lucky that our potatoes are low on glycoalkakoids?

Ok – this is the official statement of the German Federal Agency for Risk Assessment.

TL;DR

• there have been only a couple of reports of glycoalkaloid poisoning through potatoe consumption during the last 100 years.
• sprouts, green parts and the skin of potatoes contain glycoalcaloids.
• cooking reduces glycoalcaloids.
• peeled and cooked potatoes are safe to eat.

Culinary preferences might make the difference: in Germany potatoes are eaten peeled = very low risk of poisoning, while my Canadian host family ate potatoes with their skin = slightly higher risk of poisoning, especially if you cut out sprouts but leave the skin.

It’s not a meme.
