IiRC it was more so that the Church got actual fiefdoms and wanted control so that potential priestly families wouldn’t just distance themselves into secular noble houses, taking lands with them.
Fiefdoms and related duties originated from kings, so the church wanted similar parallel rights over their vassal priests.

Flevoland was a national scale pseudo conscript construction project on the scale of the Great Wall. Bit more useful though.
The Dutch in the 70s oil crisis told all their freshly unemployed people to grab a shovel or they don’t get unemployment, and now their country is a tenth bigger.

We have a similar system, every party gets X amount, which has to be paid back by parties who don’t get 1% of the vote.

No it doesn’t unfortunately, chat control is literally a loophole for big tech to gather data. They call it a “derogation”.

Nah, you can’t fire people via AI. Or if you want to be pedantic, you can’t make automated decisions about people via AI.

So a company can feed oil tankers to Iran and the US pays?
If the payout is small, it’s a shitty insurance and does nothing.
If the payout is big, it’s free money since you’re pretty much guaranteed to be droned.

Lol. You have to study it just enough to get hooked, but not enough to notice the inconsistencies.

That’s just the usual routine of externalising costs while extracting benefits, maybe it’s just a very blatant example.

Is it made in the US though? It seems kinda silly to ship the parts from predominantly China to the US back to Europe.
Especially since IIRC the US PC market is smaller that that of Europe.
And also, tariffs.
- Comment on 2 months ago:
The point is that in Europe sticker price always includes tax, you pay the exact amount there, while reputedly in the US it does not work that way.

In the NL, there are signs literally spelling it out for you. There is a sign saying “start merging here” at the right spot.
Everyone talks how the NL has so good bike infra, but the car infra is top notch as well.

The sticks were digitally driven for quite a while as well. Managed to short circuit a 2004 VW Passat’s electronics, the sticks started to point in random directions all over the place while the car was in motion. And I don’t mean shaking, just going to a random value and settling on it every 1.5 seconds.
Was very spooky.
