Because there were two world wars that mainly took place in Europe. America was never subjected to bombing or invasion, meaning their industrial capacity was never crippled. They came out on top each time and used their influence and strength to become the new superpower.

This is overly simplified of course.

Perhaps I’m a cynic, but a hell of a lot of us do want that apparently. I’m stoked about the lib minority, but saddened by how many of us still voted conservative.

I never said they needed one space per unit, but say, 10 spaces for the 50 units would have likely been enough to dissuade fears of the local residents.

Downvote me all you like but the place isn’t being built now because of this decision, so the area gets nothing.

Wheeep whoop wooop, Cart Narcs!

Look, as much as I think people should be taking transit and bikes as much as possible, for the developer not to provide a single parking lot for a building that size is silly.

Edit: I meant to say “single parking spot” not lot.

Like I said, I’m sensitive to low frame rates and really notice it. Like I’m watching video that is stuttery.

I know people have a “feel” to cinema that they enjoy and I have no issue with that, but I like the feel of smooth motion. It’s something you should absolutely be able to turn off though.

I will be downvoted but I must stand up for my friend. I LIKE MOTION SMOOTHING!

There, I said it. I’m glad it’s a feature you can disable so everyone can be happy, but I find 30fps choppy and distracting. Maybe I play too many video games, but high frame rates are the norm on PC. Hell, frame generation is a big feature now, but that’s a topic for another day.

Those basic safe driving techniques are based on ideal conditions. Take the three second lead for example, that’s on dry roads with good visibility. You wouldn’t follow that close if it was icy, because now your reaction time is not going to be enough, you have less control over the road so you must increase your follow distance.

Driving drunk is the same, your reaction time is now slower so again three seconds isn’t enough. You don’t have the same control over your body and alertness, so you need to drive even slower and more cautiously.

Now you’re the odd one out. Your overly cautious driving will confuse the people driving around you because it’ll be less predictable and odd. They’ll try to pass you causing the chance of accidents to increase.

This is long winded, but the point is you simply aren’t at your prime when you’re driving impared. Be it high, drunk, sleep deprived, etc, you shouldn’t on the road in that state as you increase the risk for everyone else. I urge you to reconsoder before you hurt yourself or someone else.

I agree with some of your points, but I you should try rewriting your age gap paragraph. It’s very hard to understand and in your 15/18 year old example I think you end up saying the opposite of what you intend.

Also pedophilia has a specific definition and is not interchangeable with underage. It’s specifically for prepubescent attractions.

Do you differentiate between people who purchased their pets vs rescue, or do you see all pet owners as the same?

I think owning pets in our modern urban lives doesn’t make sense like it used to, but I have always had pets and do enjoy them. Every single one has been a rescue though. I could not personally justify supporting breeders and pets as an industry.

If you’re into, or don’t ming getting into self hosting, I use iSponsorBlockTV. It keeps tabs on all the Chromecast or smart TVs in your house and automatically sends skip commands when you get to in segment ads.

I have Premium so I don’t have regular ads, but I belive it can do that as well and if not, pairing it with a traditional DNS blocker like a piehole should do the job.

She doesn’t want to be them, this just suits her current interests. Conservatives are opportunists who aren’t slowed down by pesky things like firm ideals or good faith arguments. Flip flopping is of no concern to them.

Yup, Valve is still in it for the money of course, but the customer really does come first. I’ve used their support a few times and they’ve always been stellar. I will always buy Valve products.

There are a few, the sofabaton is probably the closest to the cheaper harmony remotes, but it’s configured via an app that requires login so not sure how long that will last.

There are other companies that are targeting the high end remotes too ($300+) but they all appear to be based on android and get very poor battery life.

I love Thunder. Have it set up with the small UI, feels like I never left Relay.

How can you be in the society and not be a royal?

I largely agree with you and have always voted thusly, however I think this election is different. There’s too much at stake with the US right now to have the Cons in power, so I will vote strategically in my riding this time.

I used to volunteer for Fair Vote, and I should really pick up that torch again.

I wish you all the best. I’m not intimately familiar with Germany’s social systems but I assume they’re better than most of North America’s. See if there is government assistance you can get or what you might qualify for. Maybe you’re not there yet, but maybe some is available to you.

Good luck and keep your head up.

I personally would not give up my pets unless things were incredibly dire. Cancelling the insurance sounds like the right move, and if they have to eat cheaper food that’s unfortunate but understandable given the situation.

When we get pets we take them under our care and they are a responsibility. I say this not in your position, so I understand it might actually be out of your control, but we’re still talking about snacks so you can’t be at the point of not being able to afford dry cat food.

Thanks for the link. The basics of that article are eggs are nutritious, and people don’t like when prices increase.

This article implies eggs are a litmus test for instability in every day life, but I’d argue the US should already at red alert and eggs are the last of their issues.

Stupid.
