While this is true, it is also true that fines that are small relative to your wealth essentially mean those activities come with a convenience fee for the wealthy. Having fines that scale with income or similar maintains the severity of the infraction for people of all incomes.
I didn’t see anything saying he’d parked in handicapped spots outside of the Apple car park.
This makes it no less egregious.
There have never been lung issues caused by inhaling very small dust particles, right?
Looking at the 5 year chart on that link doesn’t make it look like Milei has improved things, that’s for sure.
There was a shell game with aluminum a number of years back where truckload ofbit just…moved around…to raise stock prices. It wouldn’t surprise me if the same things happened with oil.
I don’t know a lot about recreational drugs or street drugs, but aren’t they made less pure at the final destination?
Edit: very cursory reading puts cocaine at around 65% pure, which means about $600 per ounce?
or face
unforseen consequences.
FTFY
We’ll have to disagree with the ribbon being an improvement, but the rest definitely count.
If MS had put any focus on allowing skins/themes for Windows, the touch market would have just been an extra feature. There is no technical reason they couldn’t have, as evidenced by the third-party apps that allowed legacy skins on previous versions, such as 8 and 10. But they needed that lock-in and forced experience, rather than giving people the choice.
There are decent GUI installers for most, if not all, major Linux distros. They may not be as full-featured as the CLI versions, but they are sufficient for average users.
Yes, Win2k, WinXP, and Win7 were all major leaps forward in various areas. Imagine if 8 had been just a major cleanup of Windows 7 and unifying the various settings paradigms, how much better that would have been.
It was a pretty good game a year or so in, and has only gotten better. I haven’t played for a while, but I put over 100 hours in first.
How am I supposed to take this seriously when it leads with “followed the Israeli regime’s defeats against resistance in … the Palestinian territories”? The only Israeli defeats I’ve been hearing about in Gaza are against their PR department.
There is a difference between nations and ethnicities, and there are many people whose homeland is ruled by others, or whose homeland is part of an amalgamation of different different ethnicities under the umbrella of a single nation. I’m pretty at least some of these countries that don’t recognize the country of Palestine recognize Palestinians as a distinct ethnicity.
None of that detracts from the general sentiments you raised, touches on whether or not Palestinians (or other ethnicities) should have their own nation, or excuses what I believe to be the Palestinian genocide being perpetrated by Israel.
The synopsis says the cables are already repaired, and it take more than a random merchant vessel to repair underwater cables.
Given acidity is one of the 5 basic characteristics of wine, I suspect people, even adults, have been enjoying sour flavors for a few thousand years. Also, preserves have tended to be sweet, salty, or, you guessed it, sour for a long time, as well. They only thing that has really changed is our delivery vehicle for sour snacks.
I’ll let you in on something else. We spend as much taxes per capita on healthcare as America does.
I used to think there was nothing more stupid in zombie movies than uninfected humans just leaving each other alone and killing off the zombies. Why would you bother taking guns from other people when you have so many just lying around after 90% of the people died? If everyone just killed 10 zombies, the whole thing would be cleared up. I don’t think that anymore.
I’m pretty sure even Farage doesn’t want to fly to America to get his ass kicked. He might to suck some billionaire cock, though.
I think a lot of it is feelings of helplessness. You’re on a freight train that appears to be running straight at a cliff, you can’t stop it, you can’t even make it change course, and even with that looming in the distance, it feels increasingly hard to make the situation any better before you hit that wall. Even having proof that you can improve your circumstances can remove that feeling of helplessness, and that seems to be very much unavailable for people living their relatively comfortable, if stagnant, lives in much of the developed world. If your life isn’t where you want it to be and you don’t see a path to achieve that, it’s very hard to feel happy.
