There's considerable academic debate back-and-forth over how much they worked.

They didn't get Saturday off: six-day wokweek + Sabbath. But to make up with that they had all the St. Swithin's Day and St. Brice's Day and all that stuff stereotypical mediæval peasants talk about.

and Aldous Huxley died while on LSD

Fun day.

Also, I learned that Doctor Who is considered a single TV series that has run for 60 years, not a bunch of remakes. (That might be common knowledge, I've never watched it.)

Will we mine He3 on the moon?

Will we just do deuterium-deuterium fusion because the fuel is abundant and the output is good-enough?

e.g. [@Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net](https://hexbear.net/u/Dirt_Owl) would mention a hexbear user on hexbear

But if I'm posting on Instance A, tagging a user with an account on Instance B, do I change the first part of the link only? Or both? What is the correct syntax please and thank you.

North Korea: Undemocratically ruled

North Korea is ruled by the Supreme People's Assembly (최고인민회의) which is directly elected.


Cuba..... Why couldn't they've use machinery imported from the Soviet Union to develop their agriculture and fishery?

No reason not to. Lots of Soviet farm machinery there.


I can give a longer response when I'm not on mobile, but so I know where to start: what have you read? What sources have you read about China's economy, for instance?

This is easily looked-up. China, Vietnam, Laos, DPRK

Diplomacy isn't cozying up to nations that are your friends and and insulting others

Yes it is.

it's having cordial relations with all nations.

No it's not.
