If they can set precedences with some churches, it will be easier to go after the rest.

Ever had spaghetti ice cream with strawberry sauce and grazed white chocolate as “parmesan”

Now compare that to civilized western countries, where policemen take training of between three and five years.

Could be. Key fobs use button cells.

American Keystone-Cops at work. Can’t the American police afford any professionals?

Are those churches tax-exempt? Well, if they do this, they shouldn’t. Time for the IRS to earn some tax dollars!

The dumber the voters, the more likely they are to vote for fashism. The elite has no problems sending their kids to private schools and overpriced “elite-forming” universities that are out of reach for the mob, i.e. to lower 99%.

Either they are Expats, then any Mexican coming to the US is an Expat, too. Or they are refugees.

Normal AA or AAA battery, or a CR<something> button? If it is a button cell, try wiping it with alcohol before you insert it. Many modern button cells have a coating that tastes horrible to prevent people (children) from taking them into the mouth. I’ve noticed that on some brands, this coating measurably increases the resistance of the cell, not only reducing the the power it can deliver, but als making it appear “emptier” than they are ofor the measuring circuits. Wiping off the coating with alcohol (90% isopropanol) expanded the cells’ life (in a kitchen scale to boot!) significantly.

In the US, white, rich and influential people don’t get arrested just because they committed a crime!

Depends. There is an airport not too far from here, but when we moved in 20 years ago, they were closed from 22:00 to 06:00. Passenger counts declined, and to become an air freight hub, they pressured politicians to be able to fly all night.

I can understand everyone who sues under these changing circumstances.

I once read a SciFi story where people lived in a way-post-scarcity world. There must have been machines somewhere, but they did not play a role worth mentioning.

Regarding comprehensive knowledge: there might be a lot of topics where you lack the knowledge to write a good and detailed answer. There might even be topics where you don’t even have a clue what they are actually asking about.

But I am sure there are topics where you are the person in the know. And someday, someone will ask a question where you are the person perfectly qualified to answer it.

That’s how I got a free netbook. The netbook had 32GB flash with windows and office occupying 27+GB. Then windows wanted to do an update - with an 8+GB file. Spot the problem. And windows can get quite annoying with updates. As the netbook could not be expanded, and attempts to redirect the update to a USB stick did not work, a newer netbook was bought, and I got the old one. Linux plus libreoffice plus a bunch of extras happily sat in 4GB…

Weirdo. Through and through.

Don’t worry, the money is not gone. It is just with someone else, probably one of the billionaires.

That platform is the nationwide assembly of nutjobs in the first place.

A friend of ours was approaching her 40th birthday. But she only admitted to having a “round” birthday, and even forbade her kids to talk about mommys age, even though we made a big production to learn her age with trick questions and all. And then we told her that if she keeps mum about her age, we’ll just guesstimate it.

That’s how she got sent loads of cards for her 50th birthday. She was a bit pissed when we arrived for the party. And then we handed her the real cards for her 40th.

OK, I also think “subordinate” or “subject” is even more correct.

I was about to post it. Can you imagine, there is actually a DVD with that film - and a load of extras from the creators.
