Yep, I'm also afraid of taking airplanes because a handful of them have crashed. But per TWh produced, nuclear is statistically the safest method... just like that it's statistically safer to fly across the country than to drive there, but I'm too scared for that :/

the proposed settlement gave merchants the ability to impose surcharges on customers depending on what kind of Visa or Mastercard card they use.

Good that the settlement was rejected then. Passing card fees onto the end-customer doesn't fix the problem.

I don't think rural towns are depopulating due to hate or discrimination... it's mostly because of job prospects, no?

It's unconstitutional to deny a US citizen entry to the US. It's the same in most other countries. But it still happens in many countries; Sweden for example has had a lot of problems deporting convicted criminals to their homelands, because their homeland refuses to accept them back.

She tried to cremate the stillborn fetus, and when she realized it's not easy to do cremations at home, she buried it. What's the problem, other than she should have considered flushing it to reduce the risk of evidence? And yeah, she should have also done the abortion much earlier, as well as under the guidance of a doctor, but obviously that's difficult in many states.

Has "cloud computing" ever been cheaper for most kinds of established businesses? Other than for some specific workflows, or very unpredictable workloads, the only cost-saving I've ever seen is avoiding the initial costs and avoiding the need for a real ops/obs team.
