Countless??? I bet you could really count them all if you tried hard enough.

Reply to Do you judge a book by its cover? What do you look at when deciding whether to rent or buy a book? by KittyLord0824
If they made a movie from the book and then the book cover has a picture from that movie I will absolutely be put off.

Exactly. It's not uplifting at all. It's quite disastrous actually.

So they must cut emissions but actually they don't have to because we gave them a loophole.

What is the point of having a secret peace treaty? Isn’t the benefit of a peace treaty that other nation states know about it and thus influence their decision to invade?

Reply to comment by PoissonPen in TIL Marcus Aemilius Lepidus, the "forgettable third guy" of the Second Triumvirate, was the senior member when the Triumvirate was formed by Hrtzy
I like how important aspects and turning points in this part of history are portrayed as misunderstandings and accidents occurring to the two protagonists rather than the historical narrative we otherwise know. Because they could indeed have happened this way. We don’t actually know.

Reply to LPT: After you've flown in to an airport and need a ride, consider a taxi service rather than Uber or Lyft. by firkin_slang_whanger
I think this must be region specific. Where I am taxi drivers will refuse to use the meter and demand twice as much compared to using something like uber.
