I need the ruling/source on that, because I am very curious and my Polish wife would love to have more fuel for her nationalist fire.

The population pyramid that was last published is about as bad as it could be without the country being totally depopulated.

Ukraine will never replenish their manpower. They aren't having babies, nearly all of their young women fled to the west and their young men are dead or lonely or in hiding. The Demographic crisis that Ukraine is facing is a catastrophe.

Eh, there were tribes in the area when the Dutch rolled up. The bushpeople and the Xhosa were kickin' around across the region. The thing that matters is that the population density was very low until the Dutch do what the dutch and farmed a metric fuck-tonne of food on terrain that isn't supposed to be farmable.

Ocean in the way? The Dutch can farm it.

Desert? The Dutch can farm on that too.

No Atmosphere? Send the Dutch.

I'm pretty sure that's a nodachi, not an odachi. Shorter, more similar to how europeans used Zweihändern than the craziness going on with odachi's.

Alternatively, I'm bloviating and there isn't a real difference.

no 12 year old deserves anything of the sort, regardless of her parentage. She is a child, you gibbering lunatic.

We definitely have the capacity to rebuild it. What we lack is the will.

it's not. It's famously difficult to farm, and africa imports 5x the food that they produce, to the point that if we ever have a global agricultural interruption, Africa is Fucked.

No, I tell him he is too young to know anything about himself and to wait 10 years before making grand declarations about his identity. The thing about children is that they are ignorant by definition. By definition!

I have no clue which way this will go when it goes to the supreme court. Tusk and his minions haven't actually stacked the supreme court yet, but they sure will try.

It's hilarious that women think this is a behavior exclusive to men arguing with women. As if every man (a) knows exactly the sex of the other person on the internet and (b) only elevates his language when addressing a woman. People, not just men, do this all the time and a part of argument. It's a not a personal attack lady, get over yourself.

oh yes I saw some reports of "exceedingly high" redshift values. The current press explanation seems to be "the universe isn't just expanding, it's accelerating at a rate higher than previously thought!". Followed by mutterings about dark matter. Astronomy seems to be in a bad state right now, I wonder what the real explanation is.

the gravitational attraction towards the universal center of mass would gradually slow the expansion, but we haven't seen uch a thing.
