I agree, especially if it's not in a built up area. There definitely something about being able to see the horizon.

I had my first root canal recently. Honestly it was no worse than a filling, the most painful part was simply having to lie still with my mouth open for so long.

(I hate the injections, but I always hate injections, worth it to go through the procedure pain free though)

Apparently the fastest known winds in the solar system are 1,100mph and on Neptune.

It was you saying that they were turning the adverts off, now you're saying they can't. So to call my research "armchair" is quite ironic.

The article you shared said that it's only creators not in the YPP that don't receive revenue but you either didn't read it or just decided to omit that information based upon your predetermined conclusion.

A quick Google says you're wrong, I'm not an accountant for YouTube so I couldn't prove otherwise. Presumably if there was zero benefit to creators, they would all turn the adverts off, rather than just some of them.

I'm aware that they only get a small percentage of the ad revenue but it's like that in every business unfortunately. When I buy a loaf of bread at the supermarket, I know that only a tiny fraction of a percent the price will go in to the checkout worker's or farmer's, or the baker's paycheck, but I'm not going to boycott supermarkets because of that.

A couple of ads isn't the end of the world for most people. Whilst I understand that they are undersirable, I also want the creators I enjoy to be able to get paid.

Some of the creators I enjoy are quite niche and they put their time, effort and money in to making the content. I don't think a couple of ads is too much to ask to help pay them back.

It's not a new thing, I remember something called the anarchists cookbook (I think) that wasn't too hard to find twenty years ago which is illegal to possess.

Edit: it is illegal to possess in the UK, apparently it's legal in some other countries

Most of the obvious choices will be posted so I'd like to give a shout-out to tuna and red onion, it sounds wrong but is surprisingly moreish!

Right. I'll take a ham and pineapple pizza (not my first choice, but fine by me), but I still know it's relatively unpopular.

I just wanted to say that you shouldn't be getting downvoted. You've asked a question that isn't editorialised, appears to made in good faith and asks the opinions of others.

You've prompted some very good answers here.

Good point well made. In the UK Down's syndrome is now commonly screened for with an option for the parents to abort and there's very few people that see a problem with that, is that eugenics?

Most people would agree "I only want a child with blonde hair" is too far, but as for preventing suffering, as you say, it's a tough line to draw.

It's an uncomfortable question, but a question that appears to be made in good faith and OP shouldn't be getting downvoted. I do not see the benefit of "burying" this question and the many well written answers in this thread show that.

Pedant

This is an engineering question and engineering questions almost always come down to "do you have enough time and money?"

Since the time scale is two weeks, we only need to know if the Israel had enough resources (bull dozers, wrecking balls, bombs, personnel etc. I don't have that information, but it doesn't sound impossible. If a man can be put on the moon, a city could be bulldozed in two weeks.

I can only speak for the UK but since the 2009 banking crisis the poor have gotten poorer and the rich have gotten richer. Meanwhile the press have very successfully focused attention on to migrants.

A lot of people truly believe that they are poor, not because the richest are picking their pockets, but because the poorest are.

foiled again by quick lemmers

There's a post from two days ago saying tomatoes, you weren't foiled, you just didn't bother to read the comments before posting.

Right. Blocking people for no other reason than "I disagree" or "I don't like that" turns the place in to an echo chamber. Like, if that's what you want, fine, but one reason I left Reddit was to get out of the echo chamber.

There are loads of vegans that are lovely, reasonable people, but unfortunately they get shadowed by the much less reasonable outspoken ones.

I'm a "carny" btw

One of my favourite things about super was to see the original Goku character come back. A goofy and loveable guy that's a savant when it comes to fighting and just wants a bigger challenge.

Hercule. Not only is he fucking hilarious but without him the fights against Cell and Buu would have been lost.

In the Cell games he showed incredible bravery to throw 16's head over to Gohan, enabling Gohan to hear the words he needed to go super sayin 2.

In the Buu saga, he befriended a monster, he showed kindness and compassion that was nearly able to end the fight before it even started. This later caused the good and evil buu's to split. Without Hercule, Goku would not have been able to power up the spirit bomb that finishes Kid Buu.
