- > "The doors remain open for the U.S. to reenter in the future, as it has in the past with the Paris Agreement," [UNFCCC] said in a statement. "Meanwhile, the size of the commercial opportunity in clean energy, climate resilience, and advanced electrotech remains too big for American investors and businesses to ignore"

Have any major US new outlets mentioned this?

- Impediment to Change or Last Resort? The ICC Case Against the Maduro Regime (1yr ago, 2024) https://youtube.com/watch?v=rSYTtDrP99I :
> Can you give us a little bit of the history of the ICC investigation? You and I both worked on the OAS process to investigate the possible Commission of crimes against humanity in Venezuela which led directly to the article 14 referral of the country to the Court by six member states of the Rome Statute back in 2018. That was the first such referral in the Court's history. The ICC prosecutor then formally opened an investigation in November of 2021.
Does the US arrest of Maduro preempt or parallel the ICC investigation of crimes against humanity in Venezuela?
Given the US's history of defiance of ICC, would the US accept evidence collected by ICC for their prosecution of (additional) crimes against humanity?

- Also relevant to note an inconsistent, un-principled approach to pardoning for bribes.
I don't recall Monroe (or Madison?) having been so implicated in extensive grift or graft?
- Monroe doctrine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monroe_Doctrine :
> After 1898, the Monroe Doctrine was reinterpreted by lawyers and intellectuals as promoting multilateralism and non-intervention. In 1933, under President Franklin D. Roosevelt, the United States re-affirmed this new interpretation, through co-founding the Organization of American States.[7] Into the 21st century, the doctrine continues to be variably denounced, reinstated, or reinterpreted.

(It's relevant, though, to note that they maintained their anti- Roe v Wade position only until shortly before the election. Shortly before the election, Trump flip-flopped on abortion; on forcing rape victims to carry to term)
- That creates a lot of work for the next administration.
- trillions of dollars
The defense budget would be larger than the national annual debt interest payment again.

- Dynastic usurpation and illegality of executive orders by a usurper; especially considering their recent offensive action on Biden autopen orders.
- Does obstructing campaign finance prosecutions, obstructing prosecution of one's own non-official criminal actions, and interference in Georgia's presidential elections qualify that Trump (who didn't remember his ex wife in the E Jean Carroll deposition) is a Usurper, in US law?

- But the Trump administration says UNESCO is "woke" and we have no comparable federal legislation for neuro-privacy.

- CSS has font fallback; so its good practice to include serif, sans, or monospace as the last in the list of fonts to try:
But what about monospace text like source code and when line endings should be preserved; this is the default:p, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h7, { font-family: "Times New Roman", "Times", "Liberation Serif", "Noto Serif", serif }code, pre { font-family: monospace } - If a person prepares a document in e.g. OpenOffice with a font that Windows or MacOS don't have (like Liberation Serif or Noto Serif) and saves it as a .doc/.docx, and opens it in MS Word, doesn't it default to Calibri as the font? (Or Aptos since 2023)
IIUC, if you open an OpenOffice .doc/.docx in Word, Word replaces unknown fonts with its default font when you save it?
- Do macos, ios, android, and linux have the Times New Roman font? https://www.google.com/search?q=do+macos%2C+ios%2C+android%2...
- Calibri https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calibri :
> In Microsoft Office 2007, it replaced Times New Roman as the default font in Word and replaced Arial as the default font in PowerPoint, Excel, and Outlook. In Windows 7, it replaced Arial as the default font in WordPad. De Groot described its subtly rounded design as having "a warm and soft character".[3] In January 2024, the font was replaced by Microsoft's new bespoke font, Aptos, as the new default Microsoft Office font, after 17 years
...
> In 2013, Google released a freely-licensed font called Carlito, which is metric-compatible to Calibri, as part of ChromeOS.[20] Carlito's metric-compatibility ensures ChromeOS users can correctly display and print a document designed in Calibri without disrupting its layout. Carlito's glyph shapes are based on the prior open-source typeface Lato. [21]

- Formaldehyde is carcinogenic. We know that because of embalming fluid, for example.
Turns out you have to ask for formaldehyde-free wood when buying building supplies.
Engineered I-beams / I-joists tend to use cheap wood with formaldehyde in it.
If you're building a new home and trying to minimize VOCs (to limit your chance of getting cancer and other conditions), you should use formaldehyde-free wood.

- Given such brazen and flagrant misuse without acquiring the trademark itself or the brand, they must have wanted to lose.
But the US is withdrawing from UNESCO.
