Apricots. They're available, but they're always shitty.
I'd kill for apricots like you can get in the EU. Cheaper than here and they were delicious, not mealy and bland.
The TSA is shockingly ineffective. Iirc they had a failure rate between 95-99% every year until they stopped publishing statistics.
I know someone who accidentally flew to Rome with a loaded gun. They disassembled it and threw it in several different trash bins rather than try to ship it or smuggle it back.
A lot of people have a kind of weird fascination with very different societies. I'd love to visit Afghanistan, North Korea, and the Soviet Union (back when it existed), but I know that would be really, really stupid of me.
That's actually exactly my point. We should carefully examine whether the infringement is worth the benefit before blindly letting the government do whatever.
In the case of seatbelt laws, it is worth it because people are really bad at understanding inertia, and wearing a seatbelt isn't a burden to anyone. In the case of raw milk, it's worth it because tuberculosis is fucking horrifying and very contagious.
It is disappointing to me that these hours are legal, but this guy was an analyst at a major financial institution.
Mandatory overtime wouldn't surprise me at all, it is fairly common and something I am subjected to as well. But I can almost guarantee nobody else forced him into 100 hour weeks.
It supposedly tastes much better. I'm sure there's also a few conspiracy nuts who think pasteurization makes you weaker for the jewish takeover or something.
It's also a personal liberty issue. People don't like being told they can't do something, and while I agree with bans on consumption of raw milk, we should critically analyze any law where the government tells private citizens what to do or not do. Especially when there isn't clear harm being done to another person.
I agree. My calc I professor would just silently scribble equations on the board, then turn around, gesture wildly, and shout "You see".
I remember right before the drop date, I had a 34 in the class, and he took time out of class to beg us to study because if too many people failed, he might have consequences.
The only grade left was the final. I did much worse on it than the rest of the course, but my course grade shot up to the low 70s. Sure enough, I had the like 4th highest grade in the class.
The democrats are the liberal party. They support abortion, religious freedom, police reform, civil rights (sometimes), drug decriminalization, etc.
That being said, they are trying to encapsulate and entire half of the political spectrum. There's going to be gaps, disagreements between individual party members, and places where one policy or value has to override another.
Its a retirement vehicle in that it prevents future rent raises from threatening your retirement, not in that you can/should live off of your home's equity. Nobody wants to go back to work at 85 because their rent doubled.
It's a percentage because the $60 steak was assumably at a nicer restaurant where you received more in depth service.
Fine dining servers may only have a couple of tables at once, or even for the entire night. You're paying more for more individual attention.
It also scales in reverse. A server on a shift with a $10 blue plate special will probably have 10 tables before things go off the rails. They'll also put serious work into getting your ass off that table the minute your plate is clean.
That's for 1 year's tuition. I looked up the average for 4 years plus books, supplies, fees, etc.
Average cost of college is under $150k/person. Warrant Buffet is worth $133,500,000,000 (rounded heavily). Warranty buffet could pay for approximately 890,000 people to go to college.
However given the fact that is most of a million people, and how much of a racket education in the US, I think the actual figure is much higher, because he could do several things to drastically reduce the overhead involved.
It's about making it more palatable for observers.
Lethal injection was much, much less humane than the guillotine, but it wasn't as pretty so that's what we switched to.
It likely isn't any different in imported models, flame retardant materials are a very basic and very important safety feature.
Also, it is surprisingly hard to import a car in the US. I'd kill for decent hot hatch that wasn't $40k.
I suspect it varies a lot by area. My rent has gone up by about $150 since I moved to my current place. Significant, but still under 20% in 4 years.
My food costs have increased by well over 50% in the same period, despite drastically restricting my diet and generally eating much worse due to diminished availability of produce.
The fundamental disconnect is that they believe a fetus is a human life.
So to them, you'd be asking for legal permission to do a murder so you don't have to be responsible for a child. I'm not saying it is correct, but it is internally consistent.
There isn't much of an alternative. All major manufacturers have been doing this for a while, we are approaching the point where you'll need to buy and maintain a classic car to avoid this type of data collection. Unfortunately, most people simply do not have the time, money, and expertise to do that. Nor should they have to.
I work in somewhat high-level banking, and while I admit that I assumed a government institution would be better about this than private companies, this sounds very par for the industry.
Things are less fucked at lower levels, like operations or retail, but I've never heard of someone working in high levels of banking that didn't have a laundry list of potentially actionable HR complaints.
