Those are likely suites of rooms. You can kind of see the partitions of larger areas before it becomes maze like.

As a palace, accommodations for residents and guests would need to account for entire family size, as well as potential retinue.

No company holds themselves back from viable improvement because of a timeline thrown out at the beginning. What a weird take.

What is more likely "nope wecan't make a change yet, this better product is out on every other peice of tech we and our competitors used, but someone said 10 years 2 years ago so we're gonna wait another 6 to begin development"

Or

"This product is so serviceable enough for charging a phone and as long as we keep it we can continue to make significant money off of proprietary connectors"

They upgraded the iPad because the lightening was no longer a viable charging cable, the tech couldn't keep up. And the EU has been threatening to establish a standard since the 30pin was in service, because it locked out competition back then. It became a serious issue to deal with after dongles became standard.

Edit: Oh God it's you. 4 days later and another hot shit take. Apparently I need to block you to improve my lemmy experience.

Honestly, it's worth skipping season 7 if you do make it that far. The leviathan are one of the worst television plots in history imo. That said it gets pretty decent again for a few seasons.

It's literally the title of the post my dude.

That was said in response to the context of Danny Masterson being sentenced to jail for rape.

It is relevant, and you are choosing to die on the hill of pedantry on a point no one but you is actually asserting. You choose to take a figure of speech, that was a juxtaposition of the title of the article and apply an absolute. It doesn't read that easy to anyone who isn't making a choice to omit the context.

The juxtaposition of "anyone he wants without raping them" against "sentenced to 30 years for rape" has a pretty clear contextual implication that you intentionally ignored.

Honestly too, they have undercover cars. This what they should be used for rather than popping speed traps

Cross stitching.

I must have $700 worth of floss a 200$ custom stand and then accessories, I just gave away 82 skeins of off brand that advertised dmc dye standards, but WEREN'T. Don't buy floss from Amazon kids, it's worth it to do a custom order from joanns or Michael's mid project.

It started with wanting to do a fun little Christmas ornament project with the Littles and now I have 7 mid finished projects including a massive LOTR project I've restated 3 times, that has 1 of 12 8×11 pages done on this beast l nearly 3'x2' Aida cloth.

Wasn't he in Belarus recently, threatening to take a large contingent of the Wagner group to "sightsee" in Poland?

There's an inherent negative connotation with third world, and that's why usage is transitioning to developing. If it didn't have a negative connotation, a softer term wouldn't be necessary.

If you're going to be this pedantic about the use of a term, then you should know that you're talking about a developing country. And that the usage of the term "third world" at this point is inherently disparaging because it's deviated from the original meaning to be used in exactly the context you're complaining about. Because the term "third world country" in its original context has nothing to do with economic status, position in global politics, or large scale national problems it was originally used in context to their position in WW2. It only exists in that connotation as a derogatory term.

Every person who goes by an American name because their real name is just to hard for their American friends, Co workers and neighbors to pronounce. Pretty much everyone in the US who says Cordon blue, Ganache, bolognese, prosciutto, Bon Marché, Coq au Vin, Verde, the name Guy, and dozens of other things I can name off the top of my head.
