Government should set up a site where companies using loot boxes have to open a tax box to know what tax they’ll pay that month, to keep things exiting, with the option to buy more tax boxes for a few million per box.

Another 1-in-a-100 year weather event hits. They’re getting quite common for once per century disasters.

Easier said than done. They basically need infrastructure to handle months (average month before 2000) of rain falling in a few days over several countries. Huge storm canals, dams and water basins that can divert and hold up to half a year of rain and that’s assuming climate change doesn’t make it even much worse in a decade.

Understaffing and long waiting lists are the main reasons behind patients’ frustration with health workers

Italy’s legislation has kept wages low, leading to overworked and burned out staff at hospitals

many health workers to leave Italy in search of better opportunities abroad

Add some violence and the death spiral of the health care system accelerates.

Sounds exactly like Boris Johnson, prime minister in the UK and notorious for making up stories. He basically steered the UK economy in a dive and parachuted out so another imbecile was at the wheel when all the warnings began to blare. Stories don’t make for good policies.

It’ was a status thing. Those with manual labor jobs usually can’t have long nails, so long nails means they’re above manual labor. So the rich in the past did that, and now everybody wants to do that so and it becomes a beauty thing.

They’ll follow Google maps anywhere blindly. Rational thinking is turned off.

That’s how people drove into a lake, under a train, het themselves stuck in too narrow streets, arrive on the wrong country and so on.

“Do you want to turn on sticky keys?”

Every time with each new PC I use and you’re thinking how to phrase the sentence while already holding shift

Non automated tasks remain in the inbox for a week, so spending 2 days automating them means they’re finished earlier.

I’lp make it a point to discuss other car brands when in a Ford from now on

Peace with Putin in practice means removing his means of attacking

To reuse that old joke

“Libertarians Doomsday preppers are like house cats: absolutely convinced of their fierce independence while utterly dependent on a system they don’t appreciate or understand”

Damn…

Nor is it the first battery powered train in the world or even first in Germany where this giga-train operates.

Only if the ones being killed are sworn enemies would there be a positive sentiment but that isn’t the case. At best the atrocities are not mentioned If there is a big advantage in trade, economics or military advantage. In this case it’s the military advantage for the USA that’s the key. If not they’d be known as genocidal maniacs until the current leader dies and memories fade after a few decades.

The bigger the genocide, the bigger the “anti” becomes. It’s not a mystery.

public transit is how you get around without a car

Except later in the evening when many lines stop or get very infrequent. Catching that late movie? Walk home.

Getting the kids in public transportation in a hassle. Teaching them to bike and have a safe environment for them to bike in is more fun.

Cargo bikes to move groceries, little kids and other stuff is easy enough. Getting those groceries on public transportation is not that easy.

Both public transportation and bikes have their use.
