> Did Ukraine invade Russia? Was Ukraine a threat to Russia in any way? What did the Russians claim? Do you even know? Why are you asking me these questions?

Depends on the fine print. Usually, you allow brokers to lend your securities to others. If your broker goes belly up, your shares might have been lent and resold to others. You're now a creditor, and you'll share in the losses

The people on here absolutely will not, for any reason, consider both sides of the situation. They literally think Ukraine did nothing wrong.

This is one of those rare time google actually returns 0 results. 0. Well played.

No, they liquidated those positions at a loss because of outflows. They are actually short the cash.

The 'shareholders' are all 401k fund managers. They make sure their CEO friends come in and get paid. It doesn't matter to the 'shareholders' if one or two companies go bust, they collect the fees anyway, and the

It's okay for banks and trains to crash. If you have more than $250k in a single bank, you should have insurance on that cash. If a train spills chemicals, they should be liable for a satisfactory resolution, including buying a proper

If there are less working age adults, there should be less demand for goods and services, so some businesses need to close. Boomers and their offspring loved to give away extra free labor. Younger generations have learned that's a fru

I'm not interested in maintaining societal institutions that are objectively failures. But if you're worried about precedent, there's centuries of precedent that juries can not convict for any reason, or no reason whatsoever.

With a straight development role, you're going up against people with 4 year degrees. For the 'devops' side, these are skills that aren't typically achieved by university students. While there might be 1000 front end jo

Going straight to 'software engineer' is hard IMO. Unless you graduate from a 4 year degree in CS or have an internship or some other real professional software design experience, I think it's a hard field to break into. You

When you consider the fact that police are lying sacks of garbage, you don't need to nullify anything. You just find the state's witnesses non-credible. I think most will admit, they have a bias to believe agents of the state. T

That's why it's always important the jury be educated on their rights to decide verdicts however they see fit.

The 'machines' may have been maintained, it doesn't mean the filters installed on the waterline before the machines were. Properly functioning UV filters kill bacteria, there would be no way to introduce bacteria into the sy

The UV bulbs need to be replaced periodically. This was most likely negligence.

Sounds like you could remove the leftover toner from the first canister and add it to a second one after some use, reducing waste and not having the darkness issues. But they're not refillable, you might say. Usually they're thin

The SEC prosecutes people for this type of thing. Much safer approach is to let your buddies buy first, then pump one of them. Lot's of plausible deniability. "Hey, every major fund has some XYZ, I just like the stock right now

There's lots of biofuel produced, it's called 'trees' and the UK burns them for power. North American logging operations pelletize the scraps and the UK burns it. None of this is sustainable whatsoever, but it's b

Western Europe isn't mining iron ore and making the raw steel. They're most likely importing steel ingots and finishing them. Everything has to be shipped in: the energy, the iron and raw steel. And then everything has to be sh

I fail to see how western Europe survives another 20 years. They don't have energy resources, they don't really produce industrial raw materials like iron and steel. They don't produce enough food for themselves. The engin
