A bullpub revolver would eliminate at least horrible antifeature of bullpub designs, it doesn't eject hot cartridges into your face.

The story with the hot coffee is a capitalist trope. Serving 88°C coffee to someone who than suffers third degree burns (prognosis: Scarring, contractures, amputation (early excision recommended)) due to a spill is a valid law suit. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liebeck_v._McDonald%27s_Restaurants

I'm not sure if I understand right, but I think that is the default behavior of apt to install the version available via repository over externally installed packages even if it is a version downgrad.

Long time since I used Ubuntu or other Deb based Linux distributions, but you can pin packages at a specific version with apt. Quick search says apt-mark hold package-name should do the trick. Maybe consult the man page of apt-mark or search a little more by yourself. this link suggests using dpkg for pinning the package version.

I think that the important perspective here is the phase of the land grab operation and the perceived statelessness of Syria. When Russian troops walked into Crimea the press wasn't ready to call it an outright invasion and it certainly didn't feel like one. Syria currently is not in the situation of enforcing their territorial integrity and the military strikes at military targets in Syria have some kind of international legitimation, independent of if those are valid. Same goes for Turkey. So while it would be appropriate to call out Israel and Turkey for their opportunistic raids into Syria, I can see while the press struggles to name it appropriately. Again, not because it's right, but because the circumstances are favorable to remain cautious about the language.

The lack of the model's name unnerves me.

I think that the us perspective on politics is surprising self-centered. If millions will die remains to be seen, but an unpredictable us leadership will certainly shift power dynamics on an international scale. The trump administration might randomly decide to side with land grabbing dictators, might embolden Israel, or switch to Doge Coin as the main currency. Those things might not directly cause death, but will disrupt the world stage to a degree which might overpower currently stable institutions. Which in turn might lead to death and suffering as a consequence. I'm not trying to say that everything should remain as is. Things are awful in a lot of places, but one of the biggest and most powerful nations with a "leader" that might throw a world ending tantrum over a Twitter thread is nothing anybody, but the most nihilistic acclerationists want. Also Trump's plans to withdraw from climate change mitigation will certainly add to the pile of dead bodies which we will inherit in the next 50 year as a consequence of our actions today.

If I remember correct there is a [Edit] video recording from a [/Edit] Chaos communication Congress on the failure of democracies in which this is discussed. I'll see if I can dig it up. Might be in German though, but we'll see...

[Edit] Yeah sorry it is in German https://media.ccc.de/v/37c3-12056-ist_die_demokratie_noch_zu_retten

Selk, the presenter also has seemingly published mostly or exclusively in German, but I guess one can find similar researcher with publications in English.

Edit3 there is a English translation audio track available
