What’s up with all these posts that try to normalize the current admins turning ice into the gestapo, waging a war against the environment, and blatant overt corruption like pardoning every white collar criminal and fraudster they can. Beca

“10-15 minute walk” A quaintly American complaint. A 10 minute walk being an issue is very a learned helplessness my fellow Americans suffer from. But unfortunately the 10-15 min walk is only possible in a couple cities. most Americans day

Throwing out cent coins doesn’t seem like an environmental waste to you, like throwing out aluminum cans? Yes they’re impractical to carry and use but does anyone actually do that? Why not do the standard practice of accumulate them in a j

From inside the USA, I don’t know. It’s baffling how even in 2015 people expected anything different from the crassest man alive. Perhaps they thought the grift and corruption would benefit them, and not harm them and thus were okay with it

So what happens if someone posts a fraudulent listing of one’s property and then reports it to the city?

Well that summary is curiously ignoring the glaring elephant in the room - selective context is useful for propaganda I suppose - a clean resolution is an utterly meaningless concept in the context of an administration that is already arbit

You source never says anything about being “solved”… If I had to guess, after the fact, after your posts you googled around hoping to find a page that would back up your earlier statements about it being solved - a misrepresentation that yo

You’re surprised a virus with reservoirs in local wild animals has periodic outbreaks? And seem want to imply it’s some conspiracy or lie? Okay you do you.

If you saw an guy on the floor gasping for someone to help with his asthma inhaler while other people simply walked by, would you walk by thinking yeah I could help him but other people aren’t so tough cookies, I’m not either. Fill in any s

> a triple shot 20oz drink This isn’t something any coffee shop should be serving. It’s like a big gulp 64 ounce soda, it shouldn’t exist.

Sorry are we pretending that hurricane last year, or was it earlier this year, didn’t cause havoc hundreds of miles inland?

Well yes if we’re arbitrary limiting our choice to car based transportation that makes sense for mild climate cities. But why are we insisting on cars being the backbone?

Well to the extent it draws people from public transit, yes because traffic makes being a pedestrian more unpleasant and waymos still are traffic. And increased traffic adds friction to crossing streets and they park obnoxiously, among othe

Is that why the trains and trams are crowded around commute? Because people find them impractical?

Well That’s certainly not been my experience when visiting Europe. In fact, it many cases it’s been the opposite - having a car would have been restrictive in any major city and a source of friction.

That’s a huge misconception of how insurance works. And those disasters are geographically off. Hurricanes are not a coastal thing for the whole nation, west coast does not get them. Tornadoes are not a desert thing. All those sound like be

Well there’s overhead like cost of administering the claims etc etc so actually if it were literally replacing the house every 20 years the annual premium would be like house$ / 10 not 20. But if it gets even remotely close to that poi

Okay so to recap your rebuttal is coming from the context of “my last two cars were high end luxury vehicles with plentiful sound dampening” and “one of my cars is an extremely fast sports car”. Okay… yes from the standpoint of the 1% in t

US trade policy acting like it’s inspired by 17th century China sure is something isn’t it.

It may depend on skin type, body composition and wrist hair - perhaps the validation work used a skewed sample? I’ve found the sensor to give stable results, with repeated measurements always within 2 percentage points. And the results give
