I don't think there were allegations that you couldn't type Free Tibet?

That act of communal mourning can also serve to reinforce social bonds among the living members of the group, at least in my estimation. I recently held a memorial service for my father (shakes fist at Parkinson's) but the thing that

Personally, it's because I know other people. Having gone through artificial panics and unreasonable demand-based shortages based entirely on fear I know that my fellow human being is often irrational, selfish and short-sighted when l

Why have an inflatable goatskin that you're inhaling from for swimming on the surface? Considering the fish next to him it seems more likely the artist left out the boring aspects of holding rocks or whatever to reduce buoyancy.

I can't speak to whether it's normal but it's a red flag for me. One of the companies I've worked for was pre-IPO and went IPO while I was there and when they hired me two years before that IPO they laid out the vesting

I disagree that they're excellent examples when you consider the difference in terrain, infrastructure, the cultural and religious differences between the combatants and the status of one side as foreign occupying force.

It doesn't seem that the OP is referring to their own heirs.

The problem is that we tried to allow people to be "personally responsible" and we ended up with a worse wave of the pandemic than the original one. People were not responsible, and they were definitely not "personally respo

I worked the grill at McDonalds for a while (admittedly two decades ago) and I disagree. They were frozen when retrieved for cooking and I just don't think those frozen pucks compare to fresher ground chuck hamburgers that occasionall

Whataburger was recently purchased by a Chicago-based private equity firm so you may get your wish for an expansion.

Facebook was created to rate young women on their looks so... yes?

I am somewhat happy to see this. I have been thinking recently about what will happen to all the small mechanic businesses that currently employ so many with the advent of "manufacturer limited" electric vehicles.

I agree, they should be treated like the rest of us.

Yes that's exactly the point I am making.

>there has been no form of slavery in the Western world anywhere near as brutal as American slavery Absolutist statements like this rarely seem to hold true.[0] American slavery is European slavery as well. Europeans (both countries and

The original article mentions that there were "tropes" in Roman, recurring characters in different jokes playing the same roles. In the examples it seems to be a character who takes things quite literally either in a serious manne

That seems like a second-order of complexity over simply buying Canadian dollars with US dollars and vice versa. Is there a benefit I'm missing?

There's a lot of overhead in the traditional finance system which leads to gatekeeping by those interested parties. I'd rather pay some crypto fees "to the system" than pay fees that ultimately end up in the pockets of

Police officers are civilians. I know it's a pedantic point but I think it's important to reiterate this whenever I see non-police officers described as civilians. American society at least has started to elevate them to a speci

Dallas is very different than Houston and I made no claims about Dallas.

I tell people from outside Texas that Houston is the most diverse city in the US and they act like I'm shamelessly lying. With all the stuff there is about Texas government and politics to criticize, it's a very unique part of th

These regressive voters are mostly concentrated in suburban environments. It's not a huge ordeal for most people to live in suburban Austin or Dallas or San Antonio or etc.

I believe that's for criminal offenses, which this Texas legislation does not contain. I am not a lawyer, just what I read from actual lawyers. Qui tam lawsuits allow a private citizen to bring suit on behalf of the government but I

I don't mind plugging mine in (it's corded). I even use it to clean the gutters every fall. Even better than batteries unless you really need that mobility.

That's rich coming from a HUAC flunky like Ronnie Raygun. He could certainly deliver a line, even if he didn't believe it himself.

Does it have to be "all?" "All" seems unlikely. "Some" seems very likely.
