If someone believes in a god that implements eternal torture, they believe in a god everyone should despise, and should at least be honest about that part. Don’t call it love, call it fear and terror.
Barely. They were in the G8. Even after being kicked out trade kept going as normal, new pipelines were being built, nuclear power plants were being shut down because who needs a fallback?
Saudi Arabia gets full honors on the international stage, despite publicly executing people for criticizing the government or having independent thought, and cutting up a journalist in a consulate abroad.
People are kept in prison without a conviction, for not affording bail. Owing a thousand times the lifetime earnings of other people should at the very least mean all your accounts and holdings are frozen, and you can’t spend anything without getting independent approval every time.
Being able to admit you were wrong when faced with the facts would be the better position.
If it was truly about believing that there was fraud, and not just that they had to take action because their guy lost, they should’ve broken away at some point with loss after loss after loss in trying to uncover that fraud.
I assumed it was for the sake of the passengers (and customers choosing their preference isn’t that big of a deal), but if it’s about the employees of the company not being safe, then the company’s not doing enough. For one, male drivers shouldn’t be left on their own to deal with assaulters.
This sounds like a PR move rather than dealing with the problems.
Main issue with a domain like that, is there are links to it everywhere. Very exploitable. Most of which Musk might not care about, but it would be a way of getting a lot of people’s login information.
Shows how broken the internet was and still is, basically the homeland of the internet is incapable of building pages that comply with basic regulation.
Even if you had like no morals at all, that type of behavior has to disqualify someone from being a surgeon. They’re sabotaging the work they’re supposed to be doing.
Microsoft is done supporting the original Surface Duo, three years after it first launched on September 10. The company has stated from the very start that the Surface Duo would receive just three years of OS updates, meaning today is the last day that Microsoft has to stay true to its word....
I still use my 2016 SE despite having a never phone. But I need pockets to carry that around, custom fit pockets if I want to be able to run with it without it being obstructive, because of how big even that old phone is.
A moonbow is a rare and stunning natural phenomenon that occurs when moonlight is refracted and reflected off water droplets in the air, creating a colorful arc of light in the night sky. Similar to a rainbow, moonbows are formed when light is dispersed into its various colors, but they are much rarer and more elusive, as they...
“let the machines” is the problem. They decide how it all works, and what it’s for. If there was an opt-in virtual world, with an independently certified logging out option, maybe manually checking in with everyone at regular intervals, then probably a whole lot of people would choose to be there.
Germany went 8-0 in the tournament, becoming the fifth consecutive champion to go unbeaten.
Sounds like that’s inherent to the structure of the games. Either you win all your matches, or you don’t win the world cup.
A notable outlier is Serbia/FR Yugoslavia/Yugoslavia. Serbia is the only team in the last 5 tournaments to go into the final with losses (and then lost). In 2002 and 1998, FR Yugoslavia went into the final with losses, and won. In 1994, the USA was unbeaten. In 1990, Yugoslavia won with one loss. Past that they’re no longer an outlier, in 1986 the USA won with one loss.
Who owns a company doesn’t matter as much as where the resource is. Foreigners can’t cut you off from your own country, and they can’t sell anything without following national laws.
Definitely the wrong thing to do, but also something that could be dealt with with a financial penalty and a sincere apology. When Masterson isn’t even admitting to his crimes, celebrities advocating for him is akin to what Will Smith did, using a position of privilege against the victims.
The summit has sought to reframe the African continent, which has enormous amounts of clean energy minerals and renewable energy sources, as less of a victim of climate change driven by the world’s biggest economies and more of the solution....
There should be no offsets. Either don’t pollute or pay a hefty tax proportional to the amount of pollution, those should be the options. If there are quotas, massively increased taxes past the quota, with no way of raising the quota.
Carbon storage should be an entirely separate matter, not something companies can buy into to excuse not optimizing what they’re doing.
DRM is what keeps me from buying. And makes we want to wait until there are significant discounts, to not do too much to help them pay for the implementation of DRM.
