A close shave.

I must have worded it wrong, it's my opinion that they are in practical terms the same thing.

It will be your fight if you wish to engage, I will be long dead by then .

Zero Day could happen tomorrow, which may lead to a lot of us being dead sooner than we had planned.

The vast majority of humanity dies sooner than they plan. In the grand scheme, they don't give a fuck about the grand scheme. They want to live as long as they can with the ones they love as long as they can, its a pretty simple plan. Humanity, interestingly enough, probably owes its existence to humans that really don't give a shit about personal longevity……thats what religion does

Zero day your debt will no longer exist. Money will no longer be sucked up into the hands of a few overly rich families. I wonder in who's interests might it be to tell stories of frightful Armageddon?

When the western Roman Empire failed. over the next fifty years the average hight increased probably meaning the average person was more healthy. Without the burden of a vast centralised control system things started to be built again in western Europe. And although there were petty war lords their armies were so small they had to arrange where to meet for a fight otherwise with so few men in arms they just did not have ability to find each other.

Zero day, you know you might just like it.

Alright, that makes sense.

I will say that I think national empires are on the borderline of death, I think an almost imperial system of more regional communities and corporations as the two main players are rising.

Rollerball.  But really, having bankers rule is as old as the Medici of Florence.

Jonb ... "Zero day, you know you might just like it." ... I have already seen the future, in those old Capital One credit card adverts featuring barbarians ;-)

Fortunately there will still be Mini Coopers ;-)

I can remember before credit cards when we had crossed cheques that could only be used once, and you were not reliant on the receiver to be honest, Unlike now where the usual scam is to record the transaction and then change the amount and make repeat withdrawals from an account without the owner knowing until it is too late.

Vikings in horned helmets, German Volkswagens with British names, no those to are images of now, I am looking at a different beach.

"All the girls in France wear tissue-paper pants"?  No wonder the Vikings did their R&R there, again and again ...

They shouldn't be studying any religion in any public school at all.  I agree with French laicity ... in the public domain.

In French Republic or "République Française" in French. Religions are studied in Collège during history courses (Junior High School).
Of course it is taught as belief in the way of laïcité or laicity in English even if many facts are ignored.
It is possible to speak about Christian violence (In theses courses conflict between Catholics and Protestants are described like religious conflict even if there were also politic. The political and social context are ignored).  Islamic Violence during Mohammedan time is described as self-defense (Because in these courses about Islam we learn a bit of mainstream Islamic point of view and not historical fact).

Oui.  Très bonne.  Le résultat de la révolution étudiant de 1968?  La désinformation politique.
