I believe it was implemented during covid when everything was weird and then they agreed to just keep it officially.

I have no idea, but if there is such a rule, it doesn’t matter when the car costs this much. Rich people are gonna do rich things.

Because it would be more complicated to develop US only and EU only variants. Speaking from direct professional experience.

And how would you describe a wired keyboard or web cam with a hard wired connection to the device and only a USB-A end?

Your nitpick is not warranted. He never said charge with A.

New Jersey is glaringly bad

Well, then maybe we will be cured of the republican problem when boomers die and younger conservatives sacrifice their children to their emperor via antivaxxing.

Nature always finds a way.

Very few manufacturing facilities for the US would not also carry European approval. Generally speaking you can expect the medication to be as safe as it was before.

Obviously some firms perform better than others at inspections and not all drugs are in all markets… But it won’t be the wild west.

Imagine you’re a deer bear. You’re prancing along, you get thirsty, you spot a little brook, you put your little deer bear lips down to the cool clear water… BAM! A fuckin bullet rips off part of your head!

I naturally draw a distinction between city employees and elected officials.

I’m sort of the school of thought that transparency of who they are and conflicts of interest should be a given. Release of tax returns, etc.

Why are we worried about doxxing elected officials? Shouldn’t they self-doxx as a matter of principle?

Or Radical Christian Terrorists

Still doesn’t feel good to get fired and get an unemployment check with all sort of conditions attached, just because some company decided to clean up operations after hiring way too much.

Non sequitur to my point, but to what you wrote… I would support that any bailouts come with the condition that 50%+ of the share capital is given to a Sovereign Fund. There should be no corporate welfare… Only investment opportunities.

I’m curious about something.

I fully understand your sentiment of things that don’t need to be smart, being “smart”. I have never connected my TV to the internet, because fuck that. I think there’s a bunch of things that are getting crap they don’t need layered on, all to mine more data

That said, what’s the issue with the TV not updating to the latest software? Isn’t that basically the same as a TV that never needed updates? No chance of a new feature, ever?

The key difference is the spyware, but that wasn’t what frustrated you, specifically.

You must fly domestic?

Had a situation where an alliance partner got me to the long haul carrier late, missed the flight. The alliance partner (united) was responsible for rebooking-- offered me a downgrade in service class that same day and an added connection or next day on the original airline, class, and number of connections.

Note the “next day, maintain service” option was not coming with a hotel voucher. Work trip, they paid the hotel, but god forbid it was someone who didn’t work for a large mnc…

This was also due to weather so, “deal with it, because Jesus wanted it this way” prevailed in the contract of carriage.

US Citizens that reside in Puerto Rico.

France will review your company’s ledger if you want to fire people en masse. If you can afford to keep them you can’t fire them

Sure, but that’s only because you can’t drive to Europe. Not because England is an island?

You aren’t correct. https://www.fvap.gov/citizen-voter/voting-residence

You generally need to have established residency in a state at some point in your life, but there is zero requirement to spend any time there if you live abroad in order to retain your voting rights. Several states allow children who have been born overseas the right to vote at their parents last US address.

However, because Puerto Rico is part of the United States, residents there (even if you retired there after living in New York your entire life) fall under the rules for Puerto Rico.

So, you can live in Mexico as a US Citizen, permanently, and retain voting rights in your last state… Or you can live in Puerto Rico and lose the ability to vote for president.

Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses
