"Nuclear explosions are inherently unsafe"

Well, he warns about it.

Keep in mind that Greenland and Canada are both members of NATO, and thus the US would be forced to intervene...

Oh, well...

You mean seriously? Who knows? Both sides have nuclear weapons, don't they? This is not something that ever happened. Would the US armed forces go along with the plan or will there be a coup? Will everybody keep their heads leveled and avoid exchange nuclear explosions even with people dying at home / on the front? Will somebody just put a bullet on Trump's head and stop the madness?

But the thing I can tell is that if you are expecting country lines and military treaties to be immutable, that's not how they work.

Well, I'm sure controlled slow-paced mining is more energy efficient and will emit less carbon to create...

But I'm not stopping that guy. Go on. I'll just watch from a safe distance.

Remember, people, it's only aliens if the structure points at random places on the sky.

Because ancient people could never grasp the idea of pointing at random places in the sky...

Running fully into fan-fiction territory, isn't you?

When you find one of those that is also democratic, yeah, we can discuss the details.

"People owning the means of production" versus "the State owning everything and dictating the life of everybody" is a semantics test now?

Hum... Did they change the name of the North-America's South-West like the Mexico president requested too?

They have clear rules for contested areas... that they follow in an as clear way as their user support rules.

Where is that "it's real communism if" flowchart with the "do the workers own the means of production" test? It's needed here.

Well, if you find it, please tell :)

It's a clear Microsoft paradox: is the support person right, or did Teams do something reasonable?

Yes, assholes are common in lots of places.

You know, last time I've reached the MS forum, there was a support person there answering "No, there's no way to disable the Teams pop-up that appears over your shared screen when you mute the microphone. Lots of people ask the same question, and the developers have no plans of changing this".

The answer was complete, helpful, and completely out of the normal for the forum. The only thing more out of character would be if Teams actually had an option to make it work as any sane person would expect, but then, this is not on the forum people.
