it would take a lot of people to change the "culture" overnight. likely a prohibitively large number, as you said. but it doesn't take so many newcomers to significantly change political outcomes. even in red states, republic

yes, you can buy a single glass of wine at many bars and restaurants. while somewhat triggering to the oenophiles, you can also buy wine packaged in 12 oz cans, which is close to a standard pour if split between two people. I get that this

I too will miss manual transmissions, but I would prefer for manufacturers to lean into the strengths of the new tech, rather than make compromises to emulate the old. this kinda reminds me of how CVTs are often tuned to emulate a conventio

fwiw, I do think the labeling issue is a fair point. I just doubt it would have much impact. as for the rest, it reads much like the rest of the sensationalism typically heard when the general public funds out about a new drug of abuse for

I mostly agree, but a 367 year old contract kinda stresses the concept of "other side" and "willingly". I may be missing some subtleties of how dutch water boards work, but they seem to be a sort of quasi-governmental or

if by "cash" you mean physical currency, that kinda makes sense to me. they have to get their parents to drive them to the store to actually buy the Nikes, and there's no guarantee the store has the specific pair in stock. no

it means accept the offer but no call no show on your first day. this could be a serious inconvenience for a small business, but it's not going to impact the operations of an FC unless a lot of people do it.
