....kind of. It's got a deductible for accidental damage, and the deductible can be fairly significant. You're going to be out an additional $99 if you only damaged the display or only damaged the top case. But if you had a liquid

I tape (audio) fairly openly at a lot of shows, most venues (or at least those who work for the venues) don't appear to care these days as long as it's not taking up space/getting in the way. And a lot of artists are also pre

We're actively building new nuclear weapons anyway, I don't see how reprocessing changes any of that calculation?

Not at all. Most of CA's agriculture is distributed nationally (or internationally), not growing staple foods for local consumption.

Streetcars in the modern "done right" sense - with a dedicated right of way, signal priority, and other similar treatments for efficiency can be great for local getting around. Streetcars in the sense of what they were at the time

I don't feel like 18 months and not currently on the Billboard charts is a particularly reasonable cutoff for "new vs old" music. I listen to tons of new music - current, young artists, who've released all or nearly all

In the event of a full nuclear war, whoever is on board the sub has probably just had their family, friends, and home vaporized. Further, they are trapped in a small metal tube with 100 other people in similar condition, and who will probab

Short-term at least, the US is relatively limited on LNG export capacity (and the facility that had an equipment failure basically cancels out the projected increases for this year until it's fixed). https://www.eia.gov&#x2F

It really doesn't here IMO. They can both afford top-tier legal teams. Delaware courts are known for dealing with these sorts of cases rapidly - there isn't likely to be any opportunity for dragging it out for years.

Saw them live a few months ago - fantastic performance. Also, for anyone who is checking them out I'd generally recommend starting with the Apex/Abyss albums - their earlier stuff (like Time Stands Still) is absolutely worth liste

The job of psychiatrists in the US is in large part diagnosis and prescriptions, at least when it comes to the more routine mental health conditions. If therapy is part of the treatment plan, they're often referred down to a psychologi

They've claimed to be doing those heavy changes for the last ten years and this is what they have to show for it. Being cut off from nearly all advanced technology and with a terrible economy doesn't sound like a recipe for impr

Hero Cosmetics's line has worked pretty well for me (for a face sunscreen). Zinc oxide only, doesn't make me (a white guy) look ghostly.

I do most of my drinking in high cost environments (NYC + Boston) and that still seems way too high of an estimate. $12+ for a beer is typically the high end of craft beer, not Bud Light.

The most concrete thing I read in the article seems to be: "These trains exceed the coupler and drawbar limits of the very cars themselves." This seems like something that can be explicitly proven true or false, so I would be inte

That'll probably expand over time. I would imagine they don't know what demand for this will be like, and parts for older devices are probably not in production at this point - so they probably don't have inventory to support

1. There's no ban on the Russian language. 2. Yes? Maybe Russia shouldn't have been engaged in heavy-handed meddling in the country before that and the population wouldn't be pissed off at them and want the military base to g

NATO can't admit anyone with a territorial dispute. Short of Ukraine officially ceding Crimea and the other occupied areas, Ukraine would never be able to be admitted to NATO in it's post-2014 status.

They're not really comparable. 1.) Kyiv is 50mi from the border, Baghdad is 200mi. 2.) Iraq was a numerically far superior force to the coalition, with >500,000 active soldiers and >1.3 million total. Clearing out that many peopl

One obvious answer is that the US massively overproduces food on a scale that's hard to fathom, which is part of why we make extremely inefficient biofuels (corn ethanol) out of a big chunk of it and use it for inefficient meat product

I mean, that was changed with massive forced relocations of the population (in both directions) by the Soviets. It's not that the "people of Lviv" at the time stopped seeing themselves as Polish, it's that nearly the ent

> When the NYPD have a guess at who did around 30% of murders This is false. NYC homicide clearance rates for 2021 look to be over 70% for the year, with Q4 2021 at 78%. (worst quarter - 55%, best - 86%). https://www1.nyc.gov&

I don't believe this is correct. You can't launder money with a safe deposit box, so it makes no sense to have to conduct money laundering checks on one. Standard rental agreements explicitly state that the bank does not retain a

Commenting on the latter point: The Battle of Okinawa seems like an example - Both willingly and by coercion, a large portion of the civilian population was sent into the battle to die with minimal training or equipment, including children.

You'd probably just see a large uptick in people obfuscating their plates (which is much easier with US-style plates than European-style ones). That's what's happened in NYC. All the drivers who go out intending to blatantly

While I don't think they should exist at all and are blatant corruption, that's wildly overstating the level of "discretion" you're likely to receive for a PBA card. They might get you out of a minor ticket, in the
