It’s crap. I’ve listened to a little of it. Generic, predictable, and full of issues like “singers” rapping out 30 seconds of high volume lyrics without a single intake of breath. But it fits in with the general overall quality of available music on Spotify. A sea of boring and low-effort junk.

You could shit into a open pit latrine or something.

I mean, there’s only so many ways to contain water and catch waste efficiently.

Some online booksellers will let you download a few pages of a book to read before purchase.

You can do that and decide if you want to buy the physical copy.

That said, fuck this place. The joy of opening a new book and reading some of it is part of the process. I’d never come back.

Please. There are many places in the world with no posted or higher speed limits and far more deadly traffic related accidents than Americans with their “humongous death machines.” Want to bash Americans for stupidly large, numerous, and wasteful cars? Sure. But we’re nowhere near the top of the list for deaths or speed.

Been playing Electronic Arts games since the 1980’s.

Even if they are a shit company, Nice knowing ya.

Why waste the money on paying people to not drive instead of using money to make the reasons they don’t use public transportation better?

Because it’s hard or impossible to fit the grinders in some spaces like inside corners because the guards hit structure. I keep my guards on but it’s a pain in the ass to have to keep swiveling the guard to get into some spots, if it will fit at all. Either way, wearing a full face shield ppe is the minimum when using one of these. Guard or not they do a lot of damage when they let go.

Difference is people in the US are generally not defending negative US history or actions, whereas .ml/hex never admit to Russian or Chinese issues and their entire argument is “No, u suck, imperialist west” and inject it everywhere unsolicited.

E: ah, here comes the brigade.

Which only makes sense if you view it as “nobody wants to change.”

We just “Star Wars’d” it. The first episode is episode 3, but it’s not the first in the storyline.

1,800? Who the F needs that many?

I am this old.

Not helicopter parents. They are part of the problem, but that’s not it. I have kids, and the reason they’re not outside is that most everything can be done inside now to meet with friends. Video calls, gaming with Discord, etc. They regularly just phone up and hang out. For us “old people” we had a household landline, that’s it, and meeting up with bicycles or stickball in the street or whatever was the only way we could hang out.

That’s why. Times change.

We already pay for that parking with the taxes that paid for the paving of the roads. This is double-dipping. They aren’t “losing” anything.

More rent seeking. Some company convinced cities that pay for parking would make the city money…with a nice cut for the company.

Edit: the parking is already paid for because taxes paid to pave the roads where the parking is. Paid parking is an additional tax with a corporate middleman skimming off the top.

The people are what makes the continent.

If you stop defending the people, what are you defending?

Wealth. The wealth of companies and individuals that have no loyalty except to themselves.

Done. Totally worth it.

No way to make more rich people richer than to sacrifice the underclasses benefits.

And it was the painter’s job to make them look reasonably good…so whatever he looked like in reality was probably worse.

And this is why they get rid of oversight. A Simple inspection of the plans or work to be done would have showed these turbines before they were ever built.

I doubt they’ll be removed.

For a country obsessed with guns everyone is a lousy shot. Unless it’s a school.
