This was very common in old-school Hollywood. It’s why we have the term Movie Stars. People would go out of their way to watch an Arnold Schwarzenegger, Cary Grant, whoever movie, when the people who were really good character actors slipped in the background just making movies better.
My county changed the sheriff position from elected to appointed by the county council a few years back. A bunch of people flipped out over it but I think it has been great.
As a side note, why do counties tend to have councils running them instead of an executive, who would get the title “Count”. We need more Counts in America.
It’s pretty obvious she has a career writing magazine articles complaining about her life, so she should have some sort of income, and alimony shouldn’t count. Never mind all of the infidelity that everyone else is mentioning.
I have an anecdote that says the opposite. I got the same fridge, washer, and dryer from LG when we moved in our house 10 years ago and have had no problems with any one of them. My wife hates that we got a model with the freezer as a drawer on the bottom and would have preferred a side by side but no problems with anything breaking.
Our Bosch dishwasher on the other hand had a gasket start leaking during the pandemic and it took the repair people 4 or 5 months to get a replacement in. I think they were redesigning a faulty part at the same time as all the supply chain issues so we had a really bad time with that. It was only a couple years old at the time and has worked ever since.
Flat earthers are so adamant about their beliefs BECAUSE of religion. They believe the earth is the center of the universe because why else would god put humans here, so they need to justify that with stupid, verifiably false claims.
Does this include sales tax? If you see a burger on the menu for $8, will it really be $8, or will it be that plus tax? I love that this is across the board, yes there will be some sticker shock once it goes into effect, but that will affect all restaurants, and consumers will adapt quickly.
With the whitelist/priority filters and other circuit connection stuff, I kinda want to be able to adjust the range as well. I guess we will see when they playtest it. If all the nukes do is blow up your wall, they will adjust it.
I’m fascinated how British English uses “revise” where American English uses “study”. I wonder how this came about. In America, you would say “I’m studying for an exam”, but use “I’m revising my paper” to mean you already have a draft of the paper done and you are looking it over to make improvements.
