No contest.

Unfortunately, we live in a society

Headline says tuition. Nothing else.

I didn't downvote you.

Many homes are being sold very fast, and very competitively. You need to be pre-approved AND have a down payment before the target house is even listed. If you don't put enough down, you have mortgage insurance which makes the monthly payment go up quite a bit.

Some very competitive places homes are being bought for cash, then often remortgaged to free up the cash you put in, but, you have to have it in the first place.

many buyers are telling their broker/agent "If a house comes up in xyz neighborhood, and it has these basic criteria, get my bid in sight unseen". It's going that fast. Your normal work a day, save your pennies home buyer doesn't stand a chance.

This doesn't even touch on investment firms doing this at an enterprise scale.

It sucks but you have to do what you think is best maybe the savings allow for some road trips to visit.

I think we're generally aligned.

They are capable of understanding what climate change is but refuse any action on it. Even towards their own detriment.

(Shit pants, roll coal)

I'm saying millions of adults haven't moved beyond pant shitting.

People are dumb. I once saw a kid on a field trip shit his pants out of spite because we had to leave a petting zoo. It wasn't an accident. He looked the teacher in the eye and letterrip

I thought there was report of a breach

Damn that post pizza clarity must be crazy

How's that relevant to the bald thing?

Not defending it, but what's it have to do with Dave liking the gesture or not

No one is disputing the danger mines pose.

From the article:

The U.S. official said late Tuesday the United States sought commitments from Ukraine on how it will use the antipersonnel mines, with the expectation they will be deployed only on Ukrainian territory in areas where Ukrainian civilians are not living.

The official also pointed to the function of the mines, which they said require a battery for operation and will not detonate once the battery runs out after a period of a few hours to a few weeks.

That does not completely remove the risk, as there is still a blob of explosive in the ground. But this is overall an improvement on the improvised mines they are currently building.

Reading this, it's pretty clear that until landmines can be fully removed from warfare, (which isn't happening in the foreseeable future), that the emphasis is on how they are used.

Namely:

Rule 81. When landmines are used, particular care must be taken to minimize their indiscriminate effects.

Also of interest is that Russia (and the US) are not signed on to the anti personnel section , making things complicated. That's no excuse to use them carte blanche but it complicates things.

But I'm just one dude, I'm not a pro on this. I'm happy to see them used defensively, with modern tracking and disarmament techniques, rather than old school or home built devices that have no such precautions.

What did Dave think of it? None of us matter if Dave actually appreciated the (albeit minimal, noncommittal) gesture

I was told this is not an issue in China. /S

But actually this is a serious issue and as far as western readers are concerned, this perception issue speaks to the filtered way media / news makes it out of the region

To deploy in your own country?

Many users describe an end to cravings and a reduction of consumption too.

Mind this only persists while using the drug, but it may actually keep you from eating the "sort of diet"

Federation speed is a serious backbone concern. It aligns with perceived reliability. If it seems like comments votes or posts aren't "going where they're supposed to" then people can lose faith in the platform

Contemplate how close to total collapse we are every day

I just witnessed a murder lol

Not voting also means they didn't contribute to down ticket races and ballot initiatives which are often more competitive, and very consequential.
