If it crashes the line would decapitate him

That would mean all taxes are theft.

You’re welcome to have that perspective, but it doesn’t map well onto any modern legal framework for ownership.

It’s not meaningless, it’s about who controls a thing. What makes you think ownership must not have conditions?

I don’t think taxes negate ownership.

If you rent you need permission for every modification, every pet, even for something like planting a garden.

Ownership can be conditional; you can own a domain, but if you don’t pay the renewal fee it can be taken away; you can own a car, but if you drive it without paying your registration it can be impounded; you can own a business, but if you don’t pay your license renewal it can be revoked.

Owning something doesn’t mean it can never be taken away or that you don’t need to do anything to keep it.

Like 10% of all housing sits vacant, the lack of supply in the market is not just a lack of units, it’s also a strategy by investors to keep prices high.

There’s more protests on Monday, and we’re only getting more angry.

Well, if someone changes their name you’d add a new record with the same SSN to hold their new name, that way it keeps the records consistent with the paperwork; old papers say their old name and reference the retired record, new papers use their new name and reference the new record.

You can use the SSN as the key to find all records associated with a person, it doesn’t have to be a single row per SSN, in fact that would make the data harder to manage and less accurate.

E.g. if someone changes their last name after getting married, it could be useful to be able to have their current and former name in the database for reference.

Same cable, same port, I don’t really care what it’s called if the capabilities are the same.

3D is important for stuff like VR, there’s a reason it’s the predominant cable for headsets.

Maybe, but I could see thunderbolt replacing HDMI and display port over time. It can carry video, audio, data, and power simultaneously, and has more bandwidth for additional information like HDR or 3D.

Actually a lot of it is made in the US. Shin Ramen, for example, is from Korea, but all the packages I’ve seen are made in a factory in California.

What do they gain by continuing the war?

It’s hardly in Russia’s interest for their sons to die, their equipment to explode, and their economy to crumble. It’s self destructive, which it has in common with capitalism, but worse than that it’s a genocide of the Ukrainian people.

Russia could foil all those plans by simply ceasing the invasion and going home.

There are people who are categorically opposed to forcefully compelling people, and many of them use the word ‘authoritarian’.

It can be a useful term, not all systems are equally authoritarian. It’s a spectrum.

What habits?

Could LNG tankers be retrofit to move Hydrogen? I could see some potential there.

Also sometimes their spouses, like a lot more than the average amount.

I love black humor, but this is weak. A good black joke uses dark subjects to amplify effective humor, it’s not just funny because it’s crude. This is more akin to shock humor. The place it really falls short is the punchline imo.

Frankly I think the amount I’ve suffered probably detracts from it if anything; I’ve been there for two different friends after they lost a sister to suicide, both had been aggressively sexualized during their depression.

What even is the joke here? She decided to kill herself at home to reduce the likelihood of someone raping her corpse?

Or is it funny because the guy on the bridge saw her attempt at suicide as a sexual opportunity?

It’s almost like an anti-joke, where the humor comes from how offensive it is. It’s sad to think there are people who live this sort of experience, being seen as a sex object more than a human being, even in the darkest hours of their life. That’s gotta fuck someone up.

Xiaomi Pad 6 is a good price and is compatible with plenty of custom roms. Some people don’t trust them because it’s a Chinese brand, but I figure the odds are about the same that it’s got hardware level spying as a Google or Microsoft tablet. At least it’s easy to root or reformat.

Eating clocks is very time consuming.
