Russia isn't listed.

Nope they should have realised that even though they "own" this government, the president is communicating with a foreign server they don't own.

Ok, but in general so can any organisation/institution become corrupted. So can your local authority or the upper management of where you work or the local school board or the organisers of your favourite activity club.

Your statement is tantamount to saying "corruption exists and is bad". Well yeah, it has since people put a name to greed.

Its good to keep an eye out for it, but unless there's growing evidence for the case that French courts have been corrupted, like how there's now a mountain's worth for the US supreme court, then it's not being skeptical it's being very cynical.

And your evidence for the bold claim that the French justice system has been corrupted enough to fabricate and enter false evidence and land a conviction?

What about evidence that french media freedoms have been suppressed so badly that every single news agency has been intimidated into not revealing leaked evidence of fabrication?

Mathematically yes. Practically, right now? No.

So you need a resistor of this value for your widget.

For that many places of precision you're looking at a potentiometer with a 10 nano-ohm precision.

I am not aware of any commercially available resistor that can do that but you could create one using microelectronic structures used for ICs and derive a 10 nano-ohm resistor by design and then chain enough of these elements into a resistor network or potentiometer to create the super precise resistance value you want.

Cool, congratulations.

Now how are you going to use this 10 nano-ohm resistor? What voltage will you be applying across it? What current do you expect it to handle? And therefore what are your power requirements? What are your tolerances, how much can the true value deviate from the designed ideal?

Because power generates heat through losses, and that will affect the resistance value so how tightly do you need to manage the power dissipation?

How will you connect to this resistor to other circuit components? Because a super precise resistor on it's own is nothing but an over-engineered heating element.

If you tried connecting other surface mount devices (SMDs) from the E24 or even E96 series to this super precise resistor then the several orders of magnitude wider tolerances of these other components alone will swallow any of the precision from your super accurate resistor.

So now your entire circuit has to be made to the same precision else all of your design work has been wasted.

Speaking of which, now your heat management solution now needs to be super precise as well and before you know it you've built the world's most accurate widget that probably took billions of dollars/euros/schmeckles and collaboration from the worlds leading engineers and scientists that probably cost more time and money than the Large Hadron Collider.

Send in the fucking Swedes.

Absolutely no shit taken by Swedish peacekeepers when either side of a conflict shoots at them.

It'd still be something. Bemoaning "oh there's no point because it's hopeless" gives these fuckers more fuel because the opposition is just etting it happen without any complaints.

It'd be like a cop kneeling on your neck and not bothering to scream "help I can't breathe! they're killing me!" because you've just accepted that they're going to suffocate you to death.

Well if he ever feels inclined to study the effects of it properly, all he needs to do is try to re-enter and get detained by ICE. Though depending on how bad it gets in the US in the near future, that might be a one-way trip.

This isn't your mother's cottage pie, this is an epic two and a half hour culinary quest to conjure the most tastiest comfort humanity has discovered so far.

The pie is layered with beef or veggie mince, then crispy onions soaked with garlic, tomato, and chilli puree, butter soaked mixed vegetables, slathered in a vegetable and red wine gravy, and topped with a cheesy and creamy smooth potato and carrot mash.

My aunt and uncle now lie in a food coma whilst I have shed a single solitary manly tear as I fear this might be my peak, though I will never stop climbing to greater heights of taste!

Title picture shows a large beef mince portion for myself and my uncle. The picture in the body text below shows a small meat-free portion for my aunt.
