Wittenberg / Re: Questions about the Cunsta...
Last post by Sir Lüc - Yesterday at 04:14:31 AMAgain, I'm not concerned about the military governor bit; nearly everyone, including me, agrees about repealing that. I'm concerned about the other two provisions you're seeking to repeal. You mentioned one:
I don't see how you'd interpret the provision you're trying to repeal that way:
To me that reads like a safeguard, not an exploitable loophole - an Organic guarantee that any new provincial constitution must go through a provincial referendum. If that was repealed, unless some other bit of the OrgLaw says otherwise, it'd be fair game for provincial governments, assemblies, Cunstaváis, or any combination of the above, to pass a replacement constitution sua sponte without any requirement for a referendum.
Lastly, just noting, as a footnote, that you didn't address why repealing the other provision, "no provincial laws may contradict OrgLaw/national statute", was desirable or necessary.
Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on July 24, 2026, 03:13:07 PMEvery province already has a constitution, so any potential to [...] try to bring in a new one from the outside with a local midterm referenda should be eliminated
I don't see how you'd interpret the provision you're trying to repeal that way:
QuoteThe King or Cunstavál shall not proclaim any provincial constitution which has not been approved by a referendum in which at least either a majority of all citizens of the province or a two-thirds majority of votes actually cast is in favor of the constitution.

La Società Rexhital per l'Avançamaintsch del Säp/The Royal Society for the Advancement of Knowledge / Application for Membership
Last post by Breneir Tzaracomprada - July 25, 2026, 04:52:15 PMSeeing that the Society has been restored to life by S:da Roibeardescu I am applying for membership. I received my Masters in Public Policy from New England College and a dual Bachelors in Political Science and History from Western Kentucky University. My research is mostly focused on global democracy with particular focus on reform of United Nations institutions or eventual replacement.
I am sharing a link to a Masters paper entitled Humanity as Sovereign which explores potential reform paths for the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA). One exciting part of reviewing the paper was recalling use of writings from Andreas Bummel who is now a leading proponent of a United Nations Parliamentary Assembly. I now work directly with him as a member of the World Federalist Movement's Global Congress.

L'Óspileu/The Chat Room / Re: A National Ale?
Last post by Miestră Schivă, UrN-GC - July 25, 2026, 03:40:24 PMQuote from: King Txec on July 25, 2026, 12:09:47 AMQuote from: Miestră Schivă, UrN-GC on July 24, 2026, 11:47:03 PMThis is an ironic conversation, because Zappa's book contains a chapter in which he discusses a theory that beer (as opposed to other forms of alcohol) somehow causes "violent male bonding". In his own idiom: "whiskey might make you want to kill your girlfriend, but beer makes you want to do it with your buddies watching".
I love a good scotch but it's never made me want to kill anything :-)

Quote from: Zappa, same sourceConsumption of (beer) leeds to pseudo-military behavior. Think about it - winos don't march. Whiskey guys don't march either (sometimes they write poetry, which is often more horrible, though).

I will be issuing the call for submissions to Volume 5 later this year. I hope we can get some interesting recipes for this next edition.
As mentioned earlier this year, I am planning to soon open submissions to Volume 5 of the Talossan Book of Cuisine.
@Mximo Malt You submitted an oatmeal recipe some time ago so I wanted to re-confirm your wish to include it.
Also, our friendly visitor @varoneglan enquired on submitting to the Book of Cuisine. You are still welcome to do so!
Yes, please do.
Thanks Mximo

Well there goes some TMT history. Dream On is the last remaining song* that was first voted on by @Eðo Grischun in the 2009 edition, 17(!!!) years ago, before the multiple rounds format was introducted. It survived 13 editions, until now. The end of quite a run.
*If you don't count Bohemian Rhapsody which was never eliminated but elevated to the Hall of Fame instead

Cyclohexane still has Carapaz ahead, but will it be enough with the impact on GC likely limited?
Things are looking good for Menceis.
