I’ve always wondered about this. There are absolutely no strings attached? Even if I’m terrible academically and barely passed school I can still get the state to pay for me to likely just fail university?

This seems like an odd conclusion given how easy it is to get loans even if you are not the strongest academically.

Were you generally fit before hand? I’m in my early 30s and I’ve tried starting couch to 5k but inevitably give up after repeating week 2 like 7 times because my legs and feet are in pain. Tried changing how I run, shoes I wear, etc… Any ti

That doesn’t sound like _the_ purpose of the acquisition, it was one of the arguments in the conversation but not the sole reason. Given that YouTube has not been killed and Google has heavily invested in it and there were some legal minefi

I’ve had similar experiences across multiple different Bluetooth chipsets in several different motherboards. I’ve never been able to get AirPods to work and it took several hours and some custom code to get my Bose headphones to work. It’s

I’m sorry that happened but that sounds like a problem with PG&E rather than a banking problem, surely they can accept other forms of payment —- For example, I just pay my utility bills on auto pay from a credit card each month. For ren

The perceived wrong doing isn’t that they sold drugs, but rather that they intentionally lied about the properties of their drugs. You can run a pot shop legally in Washington state but you cannot lie about what you are selling. Is that not

How can a bankruptcy case for a company result in immunity for individuals from being sued in future lawsuits pertaining to the opioid crisis? Is this a common thing that happens in bankruptcy cases? Is this really justice?

What are the problems you had in the US? From my perspective none of the things you list are really problems in my life. * I don’t even own checks and if I get one I take a photo from my banking app and have it deposited. * I only use my de

If you need to show proof of vaccination and negative tests at the individual level, then blanket banning a country from entry is pointless political theater, no?

Just to play devils advocate but isn’t this already possible? Who is forcing people to buy Apple phones? Doesn’t Android already allow other app stores? Isnt it possible that Apples users like the fact that apps are curated on an App Stor

He’s not a citizen, he willingly chose to bring his kid to a fairly remote part of the world for a long term stay. That’s not irresponsible to you? Bringing your children places where you cannot get them adequate care?

Taking your kid to Fiji in the middle of a pandemic just seems negligent to me. Sure, accept them for treatment but charge the parents with abuse.

But why? The post box is presumably run by the USPS, not Amazon.

I don't buy the authors testing argument for a couple of reasons: 1. Verification is automated - From my perspective, tests predominantly serve to document AND verify the behavior of code. You don't have to follow TDD to buy into

I don’t know if it’s changed but when I was applying for colleges in 2007 many of them used the same application process called the “common app”. Any university using that meant you only had to fill out information once, including essays, a

Would it matter if minimum wage can’t afford you any two bedroom apartments? It’s not clear that it’s truly necessary to me.

I won’t claim to understand your situation but as someone whose parents both died before I hit puberty, I can assure you it’s possible to find love on your own — I say this as someone currently happily married and expecting a child. I wish

It’s probably even worse than that because I’d be willing to wager that no smart company wants to risk litigation against one of the biggest companies in the world. Disney doesn’t even need to threaten them because it’s clear that Disney ca
