{{{{{{JoeP}}}}} RIP liz, what a candle in the wind

So now Charles has the Trident codes. My question is: does Camilla also have independent launch authority, or no because she is Queen Consort and not Queen Regnant.

Well, as a citizen of a country monarched by whoever straddles the British throne, let me just say, "Fuck the monarchy. Bollocks to the whole felching lot of them. Get. Fucked."

This could probably go in the trivial pet peeves thread but,

“Some counties such as Humboldt, Trinity, Mendocino and Nevada saw 100 percent of cannabis farm area located in hot spots.”

Nevada County California touches Nevada but is not in Nevada, making it possible to leave Nevada and enter Nevada at the same time, and this doesn’t get confusing at all!

Thrad continues.

You can't hold your place in the queue, you can't rest, you have to keep moving at an average 0.1 miles per hour.

There's a government-provided queue tracker.


As of just now:

That's what they want you to think. The apparatus of the Royal Family is perfectly up to dealing with this. Check for a dark car heading back to Balmoral some days after the funeral.

I had to draw some cash yesterday. It still had the old Queen's face on it. What is this, some kind of time warp? Get with it, banking people!

God save the Queue: how the wait to see the Queen’s coffin transformed people | Stephen Reicher | The Guardian

Quote:
The idea of the British as a nation of queuers dates back to the second world war. The government feared that food shortages, rationing and long queues would lead to social disorder – so there was a concerted propaganda drive to make orderly queueing into a national duty and a symbol of being British. Controlled crowds were not a reflection of “Britishness”. Rather “Britishness” was a device invoked to control the crowds.

That's really interesting. The whole British obsession with queueing (what we in the United States call "standing in line") is a thing of which I wasn't aware. I have noticed that many Americans have a very hard time with standing in line patiently, but I have found it a lot easier to tolerate since my time in the Army. I had to stand in line at the chow hall for every meal every day of the week during basic training and most every meal at my active duty station too. To this day it bothers me less than it appears to bother most others.

It demonstrates the ability to see yourself as no more important than the next guy.
