This profile belongs to a Finnish-Swedish/Norwegian (culturally pan-Nordic) legal "professional", who likes British comedy, sciency stuff, rugby union (All Blacks!), rowing/sailing/maritime stuff/etc. and being a know-it-all in things he knows hardly anything about.

Spacetime intervals are included in AdS/CFT and the broader holographic principle. In other words: no.

Do you mean the wah pedal? That’s separate. The bar seems to do only bends/vibrato, which do line up at least to my ear.

Which, funnily enough, is a fairly valid description of what it means to be in orbit.

Come to think of it, these are more or less all the jobs that exist for wizards in the HP universe. They even had to repeat one. Depressing.

It's possible to get a tan in Norway in the summer. Unless you're in Bergen. In that case, you'll just come home soaking wet.

Pretty much like the nation state equivalent of saying "who's a good boy?!"

Not to disagree with you, but as someone who's been there several times during the summer, I have one word for you: mosquitoes.

You really don't know how the EU works, do you?

Eg. Poland is currently re-hauling its motorways, which is mostly financed by the EU, as evidenced by huge-ass info plaques along the roads.

Essentially it means that Poland will temporarily lose its say in new EU legislation, with no effect on existing rights and obligations.

The EU has subsidized the fuck out of both Polish agriculture and infrastructure, so they'd be destroying their economy by doing so.

As a lawyer: Nope. The Council (not the same as Commission) is thinking of barring Poland from voting (Art. 7 TEU). Maaajor difference.

In general, the further a dialect is from the standard, the less intelligent it's perceived to be. Just listen to Appalachian English.

That's what's done off bigger boats. On dinghies it's easier to roll backwards, as you're not exactly that agile with your gear on + waves.

His policies are a secret ploy to create a perpetual motion machine by having Atatürk spin in his grave like a steam turbine.

Yeah, anti-GMO people seem to forget that his GMO's basically provided sustenance for a billion people acutely threatened by starvation.

Conservatives get gloriously pranked and one shows up to complain how liberals are crybabies? I must ask; are you impervious to the irony?

That would apply to criminalistics quite a bit better than criminology. The latter is about the sociological causes of criminal behavior.

ABoFaL is likely the best British sketch show of all time. Python is legendary, but in regards to general quality, ABoFaL takes the cake.

The approach is based mostly on American criminological studies, so that argument of homogeneity does not hold.

In that case, the fact that you wrote "it's 'an'" makes absolutely no sense.
