My question was more whether the listing was due to one of the previous dictatorships ending due to a war. I need to study Argentinian history at some point.

When you say "Argentina", what do you mean precisely? It's had a lot of militaristic dictatorships followed by at least nominal democracy, but I assume you're referring to the most recent one. However, the Falklands war was more a symptom of the collapse than the cause, and didn't lead to an invasion of territory controlled by Argentina before the outbreak of war. I can't understand why you consider it a "clear example". I'd put it in a third category: militaristic dictatorships which collapse involuntarily under domestic popular pressure. Salazar's Portugal would also go in that category, whereas post-Franco Spain is a missing example from your second category.
They already do require visas to stay longer than 90 days.
Programming isn't coding. Programming is the activity of making programs: coding is expressing data in the form expected by a process. While it's true that programs are data, coding is a pretty small part of programming and a much larger part of certain data entry jobs. (To take an extreme example, there are jobs advertised which primarily consist of coding medical records in HL7).

For those, like me, who were crying out for the summary to say what DMT is, it's the main active psychedelic of ayahuasca.
I grew up in a village with four pubs for about 3000 people. My parents have moved, so I haven't been back for about 15 years, but it was down to one pub then. I think a big factor was the bypass, which also killed off the local antique shops. Back in the day people driving through the village might stop to browse the shops and have lunch: now they barely realise it's there.
It is. And the sport is named after a public* school which is named after its town.
* I.e. fee-paying. In England the term predates the existence of state schools by centuries, and denotes a school to which anyone with money could send their son, in distinction with private schools which might be one master teaching the children of one family.
Unfortunately the only perjury possible in a take-down notice is for not actually being an authorized agent of the copyright holder
Of a copyright holder. Maybe things have improved, but it used to be that you couldn't upload a recording of your own performance of classical music by a long-dead composer without getting takedown notices relating to other, commercial, recordings of the same work.
/. belongs to the days when people who knew about møøse bites also knew about HTML entities.
It usually means it's full of aspartame or sucralose.
Potato crisps/chips can be minimally processed, but commercial ones are sprayed with a mix of flavourings, colourings, emulsifiers to keep the spray from splitting, etc. That's where they become ultra-processed.
I watch a chess player with a calm voice and style, and when I'm starting to fall asleep I sometimes pause the video but sometimes just turn off the screen.
Depends on context. There are some videos I watch because I'm interested, and other videos I watch to go to sleep. With the latter it's quite nice to be able to turn the screen off and still listen to the audio.
