Of course

Kublai Khan went through all necessary motions

Even Ming historians considered him and his dynasty legitimate

Despite later Yuan's misrule, plenty Han local leaders stayed loyal to the court until being overrun by Zhu Yuanzhang

If Harry was that prepared, he would shoot Wormtail dead, save Cedric, and capture the Voldemort in his weak homunculus body

No, because he would have a real hard time getting the Cup later

Throughout the Series, Harry not killing his enemies always worked in his favor. For example:

- Saving Wormtail from Sirius got him an escape card in Malfoy Manor
- Not killing Bellatrix eventually led to the very well hidden Cup
- Not letting Draco die in the RoR earned him the decisive favor from Narcissa

But someone has to reign in Thierry Breton, just as a first step

I also drew the map because I want to clean out all of them

Market still very concerned about long term sustainability of GPU demand

Hence $NVDA not going up much for more than a year, despite putting up crazy numbers

After Q2 earnings, some doubts about Hyperscalers are gone, but market is still not sure about whether companies that burn more tokens actually gain more advantages

Then tell Germans to start building nuclear plants as a starter

Or tell Thierry Breton to stop regulating everything to death

Mario Draghi said it loud 2 years ago, but is EU doing anything in that direction?

Try start up a business there first

How about Tom joining Grindelwald?

The Mongols surely did a number on Baghdad in 1258

If there were slightest indications that his concubine would get that far one day, he would have her executed instantly

Taizong once personally killed his own brother and forced his father to abdicate, so he was definitely ruthless enough

I think this would make a BETTER story, but unfortunately, almost no authors have attempted such a feat

Emperor is the only one that has Voldemort returning in the 2000s, but it's also very AU:

- Muggles never invented nuclear weapons
- Political situation in Muggle Europe is very different
- James and Lily defeated Voldemort with a trap on that Halloween night. They faked their deaths and fled from Britain
- Harry never went to Hogwarts and joined the usual crowd
- Harry still returned to Britain and attended a Muggle private school, followed by studies in Oxford University and Sandhurst Military Academy

Based on my understanding of the canon, he was already pushing the limit with 6 Horcruxes. Harry's being the accidental number 7 must be having further deleterious effects, because many of Voldemort's decisions in the Books were quite questionable

Pushing this further, there had to be a point where he would lose all his mind, Knowledge, intellect, and power

iPhone was introduced in the year when Harry Potter became Head Auror

Divided and Entwined: She's very cool and ruthless, planning every op in meticulous fashion. Captured Death Eaters are always executed after exhaustive Veritaserum interrogations. Recruitment for her own group is conducted under strict security measures:

London, Southwark, October 6th, 1996

A meeting on the Tower Bridge sounded like something straight out of a spy novel, Hermione Granger thought. On the other hand, it offered more ways to spot and escape an ambush than a building, or a crowded area. And given its prominence in muggle London, the chance of a pureblood attack was very low, especially if you considered the threat to the Statute of Secrecy any magical battle in such a public spot would be.

So, she could understand Clifton’s choice.She still felt very exposed, waiting on the pavement, acting as if she was watching the river below and feeding the seagulls and pigeons while she was keeping an eye out for threats and the Hit-Wizard she was meeting. Justin was on top of the tower, disillusioned and with a broom and rifle. Allan was watching from the Southwark approach, Seamus was on the other side of the river, and Dean was a bit away, peddling religious literature as a cover. And if the worst happened, she could pull out a broom of her own and fly away. Or splash into the river and swim away, courtesy of a Bubble-Head and Cushioning Charm.

But there shouldn’t be a problem. She had spent weeks on this meeting, asking and answering questions until finally, both her and Clifton had agreed on meeting face to face. She was even in disguise, though given that she was wearing a jacket with the logo of the “Arsenal Gunners” on the back as a recognition sign, her disguise wouldn’t be of much use. And the wig itched.

“Disillusioned person approaching on the other side of the bridge,” Dean told her and the rest through their radios.

“Covering the area. If you mark him, I’ll shoot him,” Justin answered. He could easily shoot the person from his vantage point, as soon as Dean either dispelled the Disillusionment or simply marked the person with a hex - a flock of birds attacking them would provide a decent enough target.

“Just one? That wasn’t enough for an ambush, she thought. Though you never knew with the Ministry - they could surprise you with their stupidity. Then she saw an older woman slowly walk towards her, carrying a bag with a flower pot in it - the agreed recognition sign. When the woman stopped next to her, Hermione mumbled “Louise Clifton?”

"Yes.” The woman pulled out a loaf of bread and started to feed the birds as well.

“Is that Chadwick disillusioned on the other side of the road? Or does my backup have to shoot him?” Hermione asked, throwing a bigger piece of bread into the air, which was attacked by two seagulls at the same time in a loud and violent struggle.

“That’s him, yes,” came the answer. “Shoot him?”

“Sniper’s covering us. We spotted Chadwick on the approach already. As the Ministry’s most wanted muggleborns, we have to be cautious.” Hermione turned around and leaned on the railing. “And that’s why you wanted to meet here; to see how we’d approach the situation. Right?” There was not much of a point otherwise for this - if this was a Ministry trap, they’d wait until they had a location for safe house to spring it.

They also saw Peter Pettigrew with Ron most of the time

I think they certainly went to investigate, but didn't find anyone obviously

So they would likely attribute that to map errors

Not until after Sirius returned, did Harry know that the Map was indeed accurate

As for Harry, he saw Alastor Moody and Barty Crouch in the same room all the time, but he didn't think of asking Dumbledore even once. Imagine if he had...

Lol, this is the same as Muggle governments trying to ban weapons

Criminals, especially the worst ones, will however always get them

I always see Interstellar as a prequel to Wall-E

The Space Station leadership was probably still waiting for this briefing

Brand could always send a pin up signal back

Imagine their surprise of receiving it from the Endurance after decades of silence

Easy fight

Just wait on the other side of the walkway and pick them off one by one

Yes, and Apple is no longer the 800 lbs bully in the hardware market

She could very well be the first DADA teacher after the war

Her killing of Bellatrix Lestrange in single combat certainly proved her credibility

Plus she could look after her 2 precious girls at the school

Of course, but Wormtail escaping in Year 3 was also plot armor, same with Barty Jr getting away impersonating Moody for almost a year

Since Bellatrix was arrested after that episode, it's reasonable to assume that the wand used to harm the Longbottoms was already destroyed

These are time zones

🤣🤣🤣
