The problem is that cable subsidized streaming for a long time and no one really knows how much television can be sustained on streaming only budgets, including Netflix.
Of course, the big production companies thought the best way going forward would be make premium content, but the market doesn’t seem large enough for that.
Look at others when talking in conversation. Keep at least half your eye contact on the person talking, but look at others for their reactions as well.
If there is something interesting between two people, rest your eyes there for a while.
People will notice long term staring more than short shifts
The point right now is determining what the sticking points are and why. This may not matter to Israel, but it does matter to the larger international community including the USA.
Israel has benefited in this conflict by having good enough diplomatic support to prevent a major escalation in the region. However, it is going to be a lot harder for countries like Egypt and Jordan to continue supporting Israeli security in the region as the counterattack looks more like a genocide. The issue is even becoming a pain point for Biden, who needs this issue to go away before the election.
I don’t see Israel changing its mind because of this, but I see the other countries in the region doing so.
The theory is simple: instead of buying a household item or a piece of clothing or some equipment you might use once or twice, you take it out and return it.
Not exactly. The type of rental discussed in the article is short term, not long term like an apartment.
Also, there will probably be a response in the industry, but it could end up being better overall. For instance, an appliance may end up being designed more for repair and have a longer design lifespan as there are fewer, but more educated, consumers of the appliances. I would expect a steam cleaner that has to run two times a week to be more expensive than one that has to run two times a year.
But there is a difference in design philosophy between pro tools and amateur tools. I would expect that, if the market shifts to more kinds of tools, the design of those tools will shift as well.

Most European cities try to keep their historic cores intact, with Amsterdam being no exception. Amsterdam has nodes around the city that can facilitate denser construction, but those nodes are probably not enough and don’t give residents the historic character of living in the center city.

I find it funny when the EU adopts a trade position similar to China and then all the Chinese Tankies get mad that the EU isn’t doing a full capitalism.
It is similar to how the US and China treated Taiwan. There is a fundamental disagreement with the territory, but it isn’t worth the cost of trying to resolve the issue over maintaining the status quo.
A similar thing happened in Vietnam. News agencies went against the DoD narrative, causing the war to become wildly unpopular. A huge effort went into preventing that on television, which is why people who mainly get their news from TV find the Israeli counterattack justified.
I thought more recent studies have placed the missing mass as the collective mass of the Oort Cloud, especially as the plutinos have been found to have wildly different orbits than the inner rocky planets and the gas giants.
