Wait, Hades, specially part of Greek mythology, is part of Christianity too? And death?

A single region within a member country can veto an entire block’s will, even if the rest of the country assents? That seems very broken as a voting system, to me.
If God was real / or is real and cared, we would have a perfect 336 day year.
Be mad that income tax is unnecessarily difficult to deal with. As has been pointed out by others online a lot recently, the US makes personal income taxes hard, where other countries you can fill it out in minutes if you have no deductions, and less than an hour if you do (and have kept good records).
No one likes paying taxes (usually) but since the process is so painless I don’t hear people complaining about income tax that much (outside of the right-wing media in my country, Australia)
The rest of the world would like a word. Do you really think only you people in the US exist?
Also the equivalent for psi is Pa (=N/m²), usually as kPa or bar (100 kPa).
Most people don’t really understand either to a great extent, and are just familiar with one or the other.
As always though, metric wins because of its interoperability with all the other metric units.
I’m not saying china doesn’t have problems, but it’s this kind of attitude that sends us down the path of us vs them that I think is toxic and leads to nationalism.
I have no issue with people criticising things in other countries, just not be absolute about it.
There most certainly are many not fake things in China that are great. Friendly people, wonderful food, natural wonders (this and perhaps some others excepted, but still), beautiful villages etc.
Just as there are bad things too, historical and contemporary.
Only a sith deals in absolutes.
“Oh this is whack, the park authority/ Chinese government faking a waterfall? That’s pretty shit.” 👍 An opinion I think many could agree with and is a valid criticism.
“Everything in China is fake” 👎 No it isn’t.
The graphic made me double take this also. I’m like, what new fresh hellish projection are we in for now.
I mean, trump pardoned war criminals. So I do not see why not (IANAL).
Most people would agree yes, they should be pardoned. I’m not against the idea of pardoning completely, just the idea of it being a single person questionable, since it seems a bit risky.
Someone could have a political opponent killed and then just pardon the assassin.
Doesn’t seem like a sensible thing to have around.
How are pardons a thing. Seems incredibly ripe for abuse.
This is a problem I’d very much like governments to sink a bit of money into. Sure, we don’t have 100% efficient energy storage, but we certainly have technology that does the job. Liquid air energy storage, fly wheels, thermal sand batteries etc, can be installed anywhere and are available right now. Not to mention pumped hydro if you have suitable terrain.
There’s a lot of stuff that we could build, and honestly, we just need to build it, now, even if it’s not profitable, or super efficient. There’s a bunch of solar and wind around the world not being built, or curtailed because prices go negative when there’s no one to store it.
The free market sucks. We need government intervention to do the things the profit motive won’t.
The only issue is they have not enough storage capacity for the excess.
This is a solved problem, in other areas of the world.
I would avoid 250g, that just means you have to multiply and divide by 4, which is more of a pain than multiples of 10.
In Australia, all food and grocery products (other than fresh produce by unit, like 1 avocado), must be labelled by weight, volume, or other suitable metric (number of toilet paper sheets, for example) by a suitable multiple of 10.
Spices, x$/10g, vegetables x$/kg, other stuff per 100/g. Whatever results in a reasonable $ number.
Even if it’s different it’s hilariously easy to compare.
This can of tomatoes $0.70/100g, is cheaper than $8/kg fresh tomatoes, easy peasy because you just move the decimal.
It really is nice, sorry to rub salt in the wound 😅
Wait, not only the POTUS can pardon people (to me, already insanity waiting for more abuse), but your state governors TOO?
Jesus Christ.
In most places (in the world other than the US), tax is included in the price. Are you not tired of seeing a price and it not being the price you actually pay?
In Australia all junk fees are expressly prohibited by Australian Consumer Law.
Help, I’m so confused.
(Not to say things are hunky-dory over here, just that their arguments, while already being ridiculous on first inspection, hold no water whatsoever because things work just fine here with hidden fees being illegal)
You can get your sex changed on your birth certificate in NSW according to Wikipedia. Not a lawyer, but I’m gonna guess the app is shit-out-of-luck on this one if their birth certificate indicates they’re a woman.
Only took them 18 major version releases. Maybe one day we’ll get to choose an alarm snooze timer than isn’t 9 minutes something.

Ah I see, many thanks!
