To all my other American citizens in here, I'd definitely recommend paying attention to the current news with the railroad union strike. This is gonna be a massive event that's going to effect the New Labor Movement for years to come, so I'd definitely say this is something worth keeping your eye on

Just out of curiosity, what kind of issue answers tend to affect pizza scores? It’s usually obvious if something will affect civil rights or the economy as a whole, but I don’t think I’ve read too many answers that screamed “more pizza”.

I'm in favor as well. By and large, the original resolution was vague in its wording, so it's best for the repeal to go through so a better "Protections of Sexual Assault Victims" can be made. Plus, the strength of it should have been much higher than mild.

RRS 3 note; Vylixan Gaea ejected and barred via RRS 2(a).

Delta Vega Iv, Chacapoya, Junitaki-Cho, Liphia, Jazur, Antimai, Chong Qing

A barrel or cask is a hollow cylindrical container with a bulging center, longer than it is wide. They are traditionally made of wooden staves and bound by wooden or metal hoops. The word vat is often used for large containers for liquids, usually alcoholic beverages; a small barrel or cask is known as a keg.

Modern wooden barrels for wine-making are made of French common oak (Quercus robur), white oak (Quercus petraea), American white oak (Quercus alba), more exotic is Mizunara Oak all typically have standard sizes: Recently Oregon Oak (Quercus Garryana) has been used.

"Bordeaux type" 225 litres (59 US gal; 49 imp gal),

"Burgundy type" 228 litres (60 US gal; 50 imp gal) and

"Cognac type" 300 litres (79 US gal; 66 imp gal).

Modern barrels and casks can also be made of aluminum, stainless steel, and different types of plastic, such as HDPE.

Someone who makes barrels is called a "barrel maker" or cooper (coopers also make buckets, vats, tubs, butter churns, hogsheads, firkins, kegs, kilderkins, tierces, rundlets, puncheons, pipes, tuns, butts, pins, troughs and breakers).

Barrels have a variety of uses, including storage of liquids such as water, oil, and alcohol arrack, and sake. They are also employed to hold maturing beverages such as wine, cognac, armagnac, sherry, port, whiskey, and beer. Other commodities once stored in wooden casks include gunpowder, meat, fish, paint, honey, nails and tallow.

Part 2 coming soon.

straight facts

Jazur, Chong Qing

Libervillea wrote:straight facts

Early casks were bound with wooden hoops and in the 19th century these were gradually replaced by metal hoops that were stronger, more durable and took up less space. The term barrel can also refer to roughly cylindrical containers or drums made of modern materials like plastic, steel or aluminium.

The barrel has also been used as a standard size of measure referring to a set capacity or weight of a given commodity. For example, in the UK a barrel of beer refers to a quantity of 36 imperial gallons (160 L; 43 US gal). Wine was shipped in barrels of 119 litres (31 US gal; 26 imp gal). A barrel of oil, defined as 42 US gallons (35 imp gal; 160 L), is still used as a measure of volume for oil, although oil is no longer shipped in barrels. The barrel has also come into use as a generic term for a wooden cask of any size.

I've noticed that there are some that scream pizza, especially this funny thread that runs through the issues about pizza cults (I think it's a play on the Flying Spaghetti Monster). Those handful of issues can seriously boost your pizza industry, but often alongside some other stats which might be rather less desirable. And there's definitely a few issues that give you the option to expressly subsidize some minor pizza company. But there's also some "surprise" pizza issues out there, often to do with the promotion of colleges, student life, fraternities, or stereotypical "computer nerd" culture, such as techies and hackers. The joke being, I guess, that computer science people and college students order lots of pizza, especially because the beverage industry will usually improve too.

A Blitzkrieg (/ˈblɪtskriːɡ/ BLITS-kreeg, German: [ˈblɪtskʁiːk] (listen); from Blitz 'lightning' + Krieg 'war') is a word used to describe a surprise attack using a rapid, overwhelming force concentration that may consist of armored and motorized or mechanized infantry formations, together with close air support, that has the intent to break through the opponent's lines of defense, then dislocate the defenders, unbalance the enemy by making it difficult to respond to the continuously changing front, and defeat them in a decisive Vernichtungsschlacht: a battle of annihilation.

During the interwar period, aircraft and tank technologies matured and were combined with systematic application of the traditional German tactic of Bewegungskrieg (maneuver warfare), deep penetrations and the bypassing of enemy strong points to encircle and destroy enemy forces in a Kesselschlacht (cauldron battle). During the Invasion of Poland, Western journalists adopted the term blitzkrieg to describe this form of armored warfare. The term had appeared in 1935, in a German military periodical Deutsche Wehr (German Defense), in connection to quick or lightning warfare. German maneuver operations were successful in the campaigns of 1939–1941 and by 1940 the term blitzkrieg was extensively used in Western media. Blitzkrieg operations capitalized on surprise penetrations (e.g., the penetration of the Ardennes forest region), general enemy unreadiness and their inability to match the pace of the German attack. During the Battle of France, the French made attempts to reform defensive lines along rivers but were frustrated when German forces arrived first and pressed on.

Despite being common in German and English-language journalism during World War II, the word Blitzkrieg was never used by the Wehrmacht as an official military term, except for propaganda. According to David Reynolds, "Hitler himself called the term Blitzkrieg 'A completely idiotic word' (ein ganz blödsinniges Wort)". Some senior officers, including Kurt Student, Franz Halder and Johann Adolf von Kielmansegg, even disputed the idea that it was a military concept. Kielmansegg asserted that what many regarded as blitzkrieg was nothing more than "ad hoc solutions that simply popped out of the prevailing situation". Student described it as ideas that "naturally emerged from the existing circumstances" as a response to operational challenges. The Wehrmacht never officially adopted it as a concept or doctrine.

In 2005, the historian Karl-Heinz Frieser summarized blitzkrieg as the result of German commanders using the latest technology in the most advantageous way according to traditional military principles and employing "the right units in the right place at the right time". Modern historians now understand blitzkrieg as the combination of the traditional German military principles, methods and doctrines of the 19th century with the military technology of the interwar period. Modern historians use the term casually as a generic description for the style of maneuver warfare practiced by Germany during the early part of World War II, rather than as an explanation. According to Frieser, in the context of the thinking of Heinz Guderian on mobile combined arms formations, blitzkrieg can be used as a synonym for modern maneuver warfare on the operational level.

You should get an option to change it back eventually. Seems like whenever I change a policy I get the option to change it within a week, sometimes the very next issue even.

Like I accidentally became hostile to religion a few days ago when I finally hit a billion citizens and became eligible for a national religion. Someone said I shouldn’t take an official stance and endorse on over the others. I’m not sure how that really translates to hostility but I was that. Tanked my civil rights. Today I got the option to change my official stance from atheist to agnostic and that improved things quite a bit.

The government having atheism as an official stance doesn’t necessarily mean no religious freedom it just means secular to me. That’s what I wanted. Everyone can do whatever they want, the govern just isn’t going to show any favoritism towards any of them.

I suppose WESLR doesn't have a "be on the map requirement" to be in the treaty. By the way, I see you take an active part in several different communities. If you want to be part of multiple different regions, something most people on the site do is create different nations, so that they can just sit in the different places they want to participate in instead of having to move so often. You don't have to do that, but it's just a suggestion in case it would be easier.

Also just so you're aware, if you want to be on the map (it seems Waywards Edge is saying you would need to be a Member State in order to be in WESLR), you would have to have a nation reside in Refugia for a solid amount of time while being enrolled in the World Assembly.

Alright, makes sense, I’ll see you next week.

Sylh Alanor wrote:I suppose WESLR doesn't have a "be on the map requirement" to be in the treaty. By the way, I see you take an active part in several different communities. If you want to be part of multiple different regions, something most people on the site do is create different nations, so that they can just sit in the different places they want to participate in instead of having to move so often. You don't have to do that, but it's just a suggestion in case it would be easier.

Also just so you're aware, if you want to be on the map (it seems Waywards Edge is saying you would need to be a Member State in order to be in WESLR), you would have to have a nation reside in Refugia for a solid amount of time while being enrolled in the World Assembly.

I wrote the rules and never thought about it until this happened. So, I ended up having to redo the system to attempt to ensure clarity. I take 100% responsibility as the writer to correct the mistakes I made. I thought that it was one of the things that was unspoken.

[spoiler=So, here's the list:]

Required:

WA unless exempted under RRS 5a (Member State Exemption)

be on the map

7 days+ without leaving

12 Million+

Not banned in Refugia

Decently Active

RP requirements (required for RP, and generally recommended):

Standing Army*

Stable Economy**

Spend atleast 2% or more on defense spending

Integration into WESLR Combat Systems

Taking part in the WESLR Combat Systems Drill hosted every 6 months, starting January 20 and ending February 20

[sub]*WESLR accepts that some nations prefer their citizens not to be combatants. In the event a nation wishes to join but does not meet statue requirements, that nation may elect to have medical ships deployed instead of combatants.[/sub]

[sub]**WESLR acknowledges that some nation's economic situations are in the toilet due to the recent outbreak of Covid-19. As of December 2, this may be waived. [/sub][/spoiler]
