Only one oil country switched to Euros and an invasion switched it back to dollars.

A lot of the international banking structure was built on American systems of banking, so the dollar got baked into a lot.

Until Trump, the dollar was generally seen as more stable given its longevity and being the currency of the largest superpower.

Also, compared to the Euro and Yuan, the American dollar has an internal hedge when it comes to energy prices given that the USA can supply most of its energy needs by itself. It is hard to handle an oil shock when the currency’s value drops because the internal market can’t afford oil.

It is a homebrew story, so I don’t expect a clean mechanical answer.

Ok

I would say my question is more lore than belief related; my question is tied to an RPG campaign that I’m playing.

I find I get better responses if I don’t have a gigantic wall of text explaining the question.

There is usually some guidance, although the regulations are usually written with more wiggle room than structural standards because of varying site conditions.

However, the hill causing an increase to the speed of the car and that the area has a known pedestrian draw to it would tip the scales more towards installing a stop sign.

I don’t know, my question doesn’t seem that smart to me.

Great answer. Thanks.

I don’t care if they want to keep retelling his story. There are interesting things that happen when people do that.

I take it by “true name”, that means their given name?

The closest to “time off to vote” is vote by mail. It is really popular, but the current political party in charge federally really doesn’t want everyone to vote and is taking significant action to try to supress the vote.

You could have done that in English at one point, but then we changed all the vowels and added in a ton of words from a different language type.

This is why ICE was deployed to several airports.

Breaking up with someone doesn’t require a well thought out argument, it can just be a deep feeling that the relationship can’t continue. You also will never get the full mindset of what the other person was thinking when they broke up with you.

And in the end, a breakup doesn’t mean you’re a bad person, but that the two of you may not be a good match. And that is fine.

For a lot of people, money isn’t a number but an on/off switch. Self control in choosing to not buy something isn’t developed, so people who come into money start spending extravagantly since they don’t have the economic limitations keeping their spending in check.

There is also social pressure to spend, since that person is likely surrounded by others with the same mindset.

It depends on what job it is. I don’t see a bank having a problem with it unless they have a uniform. If you were doing any field or machine work, I could see a safety issue.

A good chunk of early undergraduate education was designed as a filter for students. Can students, in a system that doesn’t care if they fail, make it through the system? A lot of the rest of it was leadership training with some technical classes bolted on.

No, but it is more a sign of what a restaurant or store will focus on. If the raw ingredients are of lower costs than rent and labor, it may make more sense to provide more food.

For restaurant culture in the USA, there is generally a focus on large portions, free tap water, few courses, and turning tables over quickly. A lot of early fast food chains were effectively food factories, skimping out in rent and reducing labor costs because those are the major costs.

There can still be value in some old things like maintaining old equipment or preserving old media. The demand may have collapsed, but it didn’t collapse to zero.

Pot is rarely laced.

Harder drugs typically have some form of dilution because it is worth it to stretch supply.

The only recent lacing I can think of is fentanyl, which was generally used in pre-existing opioids.

Food is relatively cheap in the USA compared to other countries. You also had a lot of immigrant waves come to the USA, find that food was so cheap, and celebrated by creating larger meals.
