These packets sometimes just disclose every risk in life that ever existed, which means they don't tell you anything...

Here in CA the disclosure packets that I've seen all included the FEMA map and you had to initial it. The risk of failing to disclose something is way too high. I've even seen a lot of things like "while we think there's

A lot of the castles and palaces have been donated to "the public" that maintains them as tourist attractions or museums. Also Europe is not like the US, where you can just build in a lot of unincorporated areas, so building a new

If you ever happen to run into a seller that's motivated to fight your claim, you'll actually realize that Amazon is the new eBay. They now play the exact same game where they sit in the middle, giving each party time to respond,

That's good, one less "we are just a market place" scam.

This is standard practice at Amazon and it's very annoying. Even defective items just get sent out until someone doesn't return them and items that were clearly used get sold again as new without even being cleaned.

Is there a Twilio page that's confirming this?

The problem with that is, judging by our own behavior, an unknown ancient structure makes humans investigate it, try to dig it up, etc. Placing a marker isn't the problem, the hard part is communicating "nothing interesting, only

"the Chinese Communist Party very much believes that Marxism is the means by which that must be accomplished" This is BS, the economic system in China is in no way Marxist, nor is it going in that direction. It's worse, lol.

Native apps always win, except in the race to the bottom.

I will use a native desktop app over the other alternatives every time given the chance.

I dislike sunscreen and I dislike having to use it all the time, but the reality is that if I'm under the full sun here in California for more than 10 minutes I'll get a sunburn and after a few more we're talking bubbles and

Don't get too excited, borrowers have been more thoroughly vetted since the subprime crisis and everyone is familiar enough with the cycle by now that they'll hang on to their houses at all costs, to enjoy the recovery. Barring fo

Fi customer service is actually excellent. First level support is actually knowledgeable and trying to help you, as opposed to just being a wall trying to prevent you from reaching second level support. Also the wait times have never been m

This is a disappointment. I've been a Fi customer since the early days, but the last year or so I was mostly just staying on Fi because I was hoping they'd announce better pricing. Everything uses so much more data than 3 years ag

The electoral college was just a kludge to allow elections before modern instant long distance communication became a thing. The gold standard for democracy was always "one person, one vote", but nowadays there's a lot of peo

A foreign state actor is using a platform maintained by a US-based company to spread anti-democratic propaganda that goes against the values of the US. They got blocked and called out. Sounds like a no-brainer to me, especially after the 20

"dilemma"? - give me a break! As if this is some kind of crisis nobody saw coming. This is a homemade problem, a dictator facing the results of dictatorship. It's sad the world isn't much louder in its support for Hong K

There's only one company whose recruiting emails ALWAYS get deleted sight unseen: Amazon. Who in their right mind would want to work for a company that encourages union busting?

What they are really scared about is that Hong Kong and Taiwan demonstrate that other systems than an authoritarian one party dictatorship can work well in a "Chinese" society. The mainland party line is that democracy wouldn&#x27
