rmgill Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 By state roads in Texas, that might be further than those distances in Europe...maybe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ssnake Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Texas is big, but not that big. First leg, Edinburgh to Stockholm, is 1,570 miles already (includes a ferry transport). I'll leave the rest as an exercise for the reader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bojan Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 (edited) Google maps says that both Athens - Liverpool and Athens - Stockholm are 37h drive and ~3500km, so that "Europe we have at home" route is almost that big. Edited March 25 by bojan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucklucky Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2024/03/18/have-the-liberal-arts-gone-conservative Leftist magazine worries that Liberal Arts is now Conservative. Quote The first thing you notice when walking into the middle-school classrooms at Brilla, a charter-school network in the South Bronx, is the sense of calm. (...) Brilla is part of the classical-education movement, a fast-growing effort to fundamentally reorient schooling in America. Classical schools offer a traditional liberal-arts education, often focussing on the Western canon and the study of citizenship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivanhoe Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 The Western canon!?! Those people are monsters. Next thing you know, there will be drive-by sonnets, unregulated iambic pentameter, and possibly even the Socratic Method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glenn239 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Every now and again I'll google "Tanknet" just to see where it appears in the Google listings, (invariably within the top 3). But recently, (ie, today) when I google, Tanknet.org does not even appear in the search results. Curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nestle and other confectioners make plenty of Easter themed chocolate, including Kit Kat, already and have forever. Easter eggs, Easter bunnies etc. Same for Christmas including Advent Calendars.

Ssnake Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 ...not that Easter Eggs and Easter Bunnies were Christian religious symbology (look at Lady Ostara/Eostre, and other fertility godesses). But then again you can only imagine the religious shitstorm if companies offered chocolate crucifixes. 🤪 Nestlé, like any other larger corporation, views the world through the lens of customer demographics, clusters, and strata. And then they design a product - confectionary, deodorant, doesn't matter - to target that specific group of customers. Call them sell-outs, call it agnostic capitalism. The default assumption should be that they don't follow a particular political agenda - unless there's clear evidence that they do (Disney, ...).
