Scratch my previous summary. Yours wins the cake.

Thank you for doing this.

The article is a little weird. This is my interpretation, need to look for other sources.

President says that the ambassador is “taken hostage, literally”.
Military in Niger wants him out of the country, but French government says that his work is too valuable, he must stay.
Military says " OK, but he can’t leave the embassy, Persona Non Grata".

Technically the ambassador has either choice of leaving the country or staying inside the embassy. Food is not delivered anymore, leaving him with military rations to eat.

The French variant of the article says that there is only military rations left to eat at the embassy.
But your post kind of implies that the French embassador is “force fed” military rations? This is a very weird way to translate it.

Nope, autistic burnout. Is the reason I stayed, for someone genuinely struggling.
But now I’m out, never ever again.

I didn’t like the situation, but I still did it because I liked the relationship. I see where is the misunderstanding now. My bad, and thank you

They would stop replying to any message, be overall unreachable, ghosting me when we planned a getaway at that date.
I assumed they needed space. I’m fine with respecting boundaries, even if it stings nonetheless when you miss them.

But stopping literally existing out of the blue?
How much time do you need? Days, weeks? Should I wait for you to contact me? Should we cancel this weekend?
No way to get an answer. No, nothing.
Just toss a coin and try to find out.

This is an interesting take, and I learnt from it. Would you mind sharing one or two of your references?
I had a heated discussion the other day on this topic, and I wish to know more.
On the other hand, I don’t really understand your statement that nobody is seriously building reactor lately.
China has started building new reactors. They are not planning but effectively doing it. Am I missing something?

Just google it.

Edit: Not Safe For Life

I’d play the hell out of this videogame.

I don’t remember which, but on one of my flights, we were distributed eye masks with different colors on each side. If you were wearing the red color on the outside, it meant that you wanted to be left alone. Smart and yey, free eye mask!

You also need to provide the kid that must be saved last minute, because they stupidly ran after their soccer ball, and their dumb ass is now in the middle of the road.

Easy to say, for areas where drinkable water is scarce

In Muay Thai, when your opponent tries to throw a knee, they hold the back of your neck and pull you.
A knee to the stomach or plexus is really powerful, so you have to act fast.
The best defense in those cases is to hold the back of their neck in return, pull them closer so that they cannot strike, and try to throw a knee first.
It ends up with a play of the two opponents holding each other and trying to throw a knee while closing the distance.
And most likely ends up in the dead lock or “hugging” that we see in match.

I’m sure there are other techniques that involve this holding in MMA. Forbidding it would remove those techniques from the game.

I get your point but I wouldn’t choose bitcoin for the sake of its popularity, when there are a thousand times better solutions out there.

You are correct, there are many solutions for cryptocurrencies.
I’ve considered the ETH safe wallet for a while https://safe.global/wallet
I would rather prefer Eth2.0 over Bitcoin, though. Bitcoin is limited, clogged and polluting.

However, the general sentiment this year is so heavily aggressive against any cryptocurrency solution, it is getting weird.
I am worried that if I put any cryptocurrency solution, people would automatically close my page, without even giving it a read.

This is gold advice. Thank you.

You are right. Maybe we should simply give it time.

Speaking of which, I don’t anymore. Any volunteer?
