They don't care. They're trying to indicate how unwelcome Sarah McBride, the first trans woman elected to Congress, is.

What percentage of Gen Z voted for Trump, though? Everyone seems focused on the election numbers as of they represent all voters when they don't.

I wonder if Somaliland will ever get recognized.

Yes. The conditions of maintaining a veto doesn't relate to being a member in good standing.

There is also the loss of mental acuity with age. I've seen a lot of people mentally regress as they hit their 60's.

You also have people who may not be aware of how some systems work because they've never had to deal with them while the rest of the world has. I've seen people this year struggle using my car because they didn't know you have to press the brake when you push the start button, as their cars still use keys.

It is more that both browsers are by their respective companies to create the Internet they want.

IE intentionally gimped higher level browser usage as a way to defend the Windows monopoly. Web apps in IE would never be developed to the quality they could compete against natively run programs in Windows.

Chromium works to keep the Internet open and platform agnostic, but keeps tracking and cookies because Google makes money on the Internet by serving ads online.

Given that supply is being removed, it is likely that demand will adjust to the new hotel supply.

Cruises are usually worse for a city than hotels economically.

At least with hotels and short term rental, tourists will linger and spend money on the room and dining. That money isn't spent on the community when people cruise in while tourists still use the tourist facilities.

It depends.

If you rely only on tourism, you're commuting to a low wage economy. However, some cities have used tourism as the base economy to springboard to high value industries as the tourism amenities end up getting used by high earning locals.

The commercial is heard better in its original Klingon.

I'm not that surprised. French farmers hate competition.

Major powers in direct conflict with each other.

For instance, the Spanish Civil War is seen as a precursor to World War II, but it isn't considered a part of World War II because different sides supported different belligerents, including direct military action, the conflict remained in Spain.

This is part of the reason why NATO nations have not provided direct military action to support Ukraine, as it would lead to a likely escalation to World War III.

 

One person, with their AI, can create a fully animated show with audio and different voices done with the combination of the creator and AI.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

I'm used to the usual "remember me" text messages, but is there a reason they are trying to include the metro area in the message as well?

 

They are supposed to be grown from spores, so what use are ork nipples?
