Some people claimed this came from Kiev, however if so it feels like invented "proof" that neo-nazis and rightwing extremists are in the Kiev goverment which is something Russia has been asserting (although they call anyone who is not pro-Russia is called a nazi).

Even after Japan attacked, the German issue had only little to do with the US, but it was enough to tip the balance since there was always a segment who wanted to go to war with Germany directly instead of just sending economic support. Also the German conflict slowly grew, and it was initially a problem in eastern Europe where Russia appeared to be what was going to slow or stop them. When the conflict grew to France and England then there really started to be popular support in the US for entering the war. Remember at the time that the US had not taken on any sort of world policeman role.

But US can not really do anything. We've got troops still in Afghanistan, the people are sick and tired of over a decade of "pretend nothing is happening" war stance, it's been tremendously expensive and increased the debt to crisis levels. And when we have intervened militarily in the last few decades, especially when being in charge, it's been horribly planned and executed. It's impractical to take on another war, especially a war that is guaranteed to spread to multiple countries.

Like the Yugoslavia break up, this needs to be handled by Europe with America only there as a NATO ally. We don't need to be charging in shouting "We're in charge!"

It's only temporary refuge though. Russia has not granted him asylum. If I were Snowden I'd have made it a goal to not ask difficult questions of the czar.

Office 95 was actually their best version I think. It really started to go downhill after that point.

The "standard" is basically to do whatever the Microsoft product does.

This applies to multiple standards. It's even common for many cheap products to skimp on the standards and only implement a subset that works on Windows even if the standard mandates certain functionality that they leave out.

You probably also get Word and Excel files that can not be accurately read by Word and Excel (if they're not the same version the files were created with). Even Microsoft is incapable of being compatible with Office.

I never figured out Excel. Lotus 123 was easy to use and learn, but Excel is obtuse.

So let's look at what other primates due during their working hours. Guess what, they sit down and lie down a lot.

And many of those workers who stand all day definitely have troubles doing that after 30 years. And surprise, they still get arthritis even without the desk chairs.

Except that in this particular case in southern Nevada, it involved threat of violence and property crime.

This party sadly came true.

And every individual citizen allowed to make their own private laws.

You can barely find stuff from 5 years ago on the web. Some stuff yes, but most of it vanishes or becomes very difficult to locate using modern search tools which are oriented towards serving up ads and hits for what's popular and current.

I can read a magazine on the toilet, I refuse to take a laptop in there (I don't even own my own, it's a work laptop and it stays at the office). I can't read anything on a smartphone period, the text is too tiny and the interface is awful, smartphones are badly designed nuisances. Similarly, I can read a book or magazine in bed, but not the smartphone and not my desktop computer and I will never own a tablet. I can read the paper or a magazine on a train or plane, but electronic substitutes fail badly there for me (and the books never run out of batteries).
