Just to add:
One reason the Hospitallers and the Pope REPEATEDLY butt heads is many English sailed as corsairs for the Knights.
The Venetians would grab them off ships and yeet them to the Pope to be burned as protestant heretics.
Then the Knights would rock up and be all RELEASE HIM NOW OR ELSE.

Absolutely.
Last thing the Hospitallers wanted was shitty pirates operating under their letters of marque.
You gotta know the key bits of maritime law to cite, how to record your seizures properly, the best ways to approach a target etc. etc.

In a crowded field, woke may now be the single most meaningless word in the modern lexicon. Its usage long ago departed the realm of sanity into some kind of lunatic deepspace.

Have you ever noticed that when shit goes down, people demand that minorities be held responsible for their entire ethnic group? White folks are exempt from that demand.
When a Black person does something bad, the entire Black community must answer for it. Why is that?

From my home state — proof that every vote counts!
One county reported canvass results to the @ncsbe site last night, so we now have a NC State Supreme Court justice election with a margin of [checks notes] 24 votes.
That's a margin of .00043329% of the votes cast.
A few counties will not complete canvass until Monday.

The EU gets called “socialist” a lot for an institution that has the “free movement of capital” as one of its founding principles.

You have to be richer than almost everyone in the country to ever pay inheritance tax. Even if you own a farm.
And if you do own a farm, and are rich enough to pay inheritance tax on it, you still get a massive discount.
