Presumably hijackers would just go to the next nearest country with no extradition policy. Honestly though I’ve never heard of “preventing hijackers” proposed as a reason for wanting to normalize relations with communist Cuba. You realize t

Miami Beach has been doing this for a couple of decades now. In a few places the street is 1 or 2 feet higher than the buildings. https://maps.app.goo.gl/eRJZvDHCgWQ73KZLA

Sorry but you’re assuming that “real” content is devoid of flawed reasoning, misjudgments, etc?

You pretty much listed all the examples where that’s done (x-ing is also a big one, on signs), but there are way more cases where no one would ever use the letter X like that. I think parsing that kind of “syntax sugar” takes more cycles th

The ads on Prime Video are the worst. At first they seem like your typical TV ads, but they have that uncanny valley / gen AI vibe that gives me a weird icky feeling. They have ads for movies on Prime, which are composed of totally ra
