Arguably, that’s what happened. The three estates (noble/clergy/commoner) were summoned by the king to an Estates General to discuss political changes, which led to the establishment of revolutionary government.

Melllvar@startrek.websiteto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is it ethical for a parent to raise their children in their faith tradition?English2·2 months agoEach teaching has to be evaluated on its own merits, its basis in reality, and its effect on the child and how they relate to others. Whether it’s religious in origin is ultimately beside the point.
I can scratch any point on my own back.

So I followed the refugees from

Melllvar@startrek.websiteto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If United States invaded Greenland, would the other NATO countries be obliged to defend it?English36·2 months agoArticle 5 doesn’t oblige members to take any particular action. It only says that an attack on one is an attack on all, and leaves it to each member to decide what actions, if any, they will take in response.

Melllvar@startrek.websiteto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are wheelchair-bound people to do when a building alarm disables elevators?English0·11 months agoThe building manager should (and may be legally required to) have a fire department approved emergency plan that specifically addresses this question. Usually, the plan will be for you to await rescue.
A modern, up-to-code high rise building will have designated “places of refuge” that are designed to withstand heat and smoke, such as a pressurized stairwell with fire doors. In older buildings that don’t have something like that, the plan might call for disabled people to go to the nearest (unprotected) stairway, or it might call for them to remain in their office/apartment and “defend in place”. If possible, call 911 (or equivalent) to notify rescuers of your location.
Melllvar@startrek.websiteto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Programmer tries to explain binary search to the policeEnglish1·2 years agoPart of my job is to review security footage for reported incidents.
If there is a long-lasting visual cue that the event has or has not happened yet (e.g. a window is either broken or not), then a binary search is very useful.
If the event lasts only a moment and leaves no visual cue (e.g. an assault), then binary search is practically useless.
