Oh, how I love reading deeply reasoned analysis of the electoral system for the Venetian Doge, which conveniently omit that IT FAILED AT ITS STATED PURPOSE. Not with time, not with degradation of customs, but on day one.
They even robbed from us what Futurism is...
I am aware that North American infrastructure is solidly XX century, I am sorry about that
With modern tap and ride terminals it takes like two seconds per passenger.
Having officers that check tickets is actually a good thing that reduces anti social behaviour, makes users feel safer, and increases ridership.
Making public transit free is so much not an obviously good governance from the toolbox of leftist solutions that not even socialdemocratic or communist countries have done it, only hypercapitalist tax haven Luxembourg (and Malta, i am learning)
That was pretty clear of some older McConnel declarations. Five years ago I compared him to Daniel Francois Malan, but i don't remember specifically why.

I would not have expected such a small difference.
The Finns love to pretend that they have always been progressive socialist, and it is funny to ask them about the civil war and its protagonists
This strongly looks like a GURPS 1st edition cover manual
It is actually a very nice piece of industrial design.
Which I know realise is just a far bleaker "The Two Georges"
After discussing it with friends: we would read an Evans/Turtledove collab about a low rent drug dealer who tries to move some Imperial Canada Fentanyl which "fell off a truck" to the desolate and impoverished provinces of Midwest, and gets involved in a Weathermen plot to bomb the Viceroy motorcade
I agree with that, but I disagree with your first statement about the importance of physical fitness.
There is a major land war fought by industrial powers with bleeding edge weaponry, and lots of soldiers are conscripts in their 40s
I legitimately do not understand how people who do not read spend their time. I guess they sleep a lot.
Don't think so. When it came out it was hailed as revolutionary, pun intended, as disruptive as Evangelion. Such high praise might have been forgotten, but it's alright. Watch the movie when you're done with the series.
Dear North American friends: "best of seven" is not a serious way to decide a sports competition. Do better.
Good for them, but what about the entertainment value and the community-building?
Quaaludes is not one of them, clearly
The fascists did that. Reminds me of a scene in Il Federale.
For a sufficiently low bar of "worked", sure

"It is more enjoyable if you know nothing about the genre" is unfortunately true of many popular pieces of media.
