What's wrong with Charles?

He's old! We will have to go thru the BS how changing everything again in a decade because he'll be dead. Ever looked into the protocol when the Monarch dies? Hundreds of millions of dollars will be spent.

Millions are also spent when they live to see jubilees, it's the price for having a monarch.

I think Charles would make a fine king, the kids are too young anyway.

We will still get a good decade out of Deuce by that time William will be 47, Old enough.
Colonel Caliga is Awesome.

Apparently, there's a lake in Siberia made bright blue by the tremendous amount of industrial waste dumped into it by the nearby coal power plant.

It is so dangerous that even the bloody Russian authorities (of Siberia no less) warn people not to visit.

But it has become a hit with "influencers" and common mortals as well:

It is odd to want to take a photo with toxic waste even if beautiful.

There's a similar lake in my region, with turquoise waters because of mining waste, where they've had to put up signs so that people wouldn't swim on it.

Damn it. I want trees for my vast estate. I just bought one last month....a tree not a vast estate.

Aren't all estates vast in Texas?  ;)

Hopefully they'll have their life expectancy influenced by it.

Fucking paper wasp built a nest on my front door.  I walk out and one of the little bastards stings me in the neck.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Maybe if they did that here the trains wouldn't always be delayed :D
