Right!

Why would anyone ever write "this state" instead of the state's name. It's just too click baity. Is "West Virginia" that hard to type?

I don't think I can name 5 current CEOs. Nor do I have knowledge of their business tactics.

Zero landfill is not zero trash. It's just that the waste has to be recyclable or incinerated.

gathering the initial deposit

In the USA, you no longer need a large deposit. Many lenders will go all low as 3% down. You pay extra fees each month when you are under 20% down though. Since most people can't afford the 20% down, they're stuck paying more each month.

Yes, generally in the USA you pay less to own than to rent if you put the 20% down. The other cost of ownership (maintenance and repairs). If you add those in, owning us still usually a bit cheaper. Renting, however, stabilizes the monthly cost.

They don't need your DNA to connect you to solve a cold case. They determine we shares tiny chunks of DNA with a sample from a crime. With that, they find the family tree of the known person and can often determine who the guilty party is.

As in they know the suspect shares a paternal great grandfather with this person and a maternal great great grandmother with that person so we know it's one of these people. Then the police collect trash to find who from the limited pool the crime DNA belongs to.

Paxton takes being a piece of shit politican to the next level.

When you are literally the person who determines what cases get prosecuted, somehow you never suggest prosecuting yourself or your wife.

Power lines.

You'd still owe that debt. Unless you go to prison for live than the debt's statute length. Generally 7 years.

Also some jurisdictions make you pay for the privilege of going to prison.

Ymmv, choose your state of jurisdiction very carefully.

Also crypto is a bubble IMO.

Is that different from the anarchist's cookbook?

We stopped doing gift exchanges. We were just getting things we didn't want. Ymmv, that doesn't work in all families.

Lock him up! Lock him up! Lock him up!

The health system as whole is messed up.

Pharmacy seems to take it to the next level. I'm baffled how a coupon printed from some random website gives me a cheaper prescription than my generally good employer sponsored health insurance.

My doctor prints these coupons (no login just a regular website) at the visit and tells me to make sure my insurance is actually cheaper than this stupid piece of paper makes the drug. Wtf man, how did we get here?

The one sane spot is Costco. The drugs are always cheap there. It's just Costco is a pain in the ass to get in and out of quickly.

If this were a small country, yes that is what would happen. In the second most populous country, I suspect that's too huge of a market to just accept as a loss.

Once a customer leaves the apple ecosystem they're unlikely to return to it. So they would lose those customers forever.

He did accomplish a thing. He single-handedly managed to compromise national security. With all the open positions, work wasn't able to get done and some people legit burnt out trying to do the work of many people.

Sorry, but your dream also died when they closed all of their stores earlier this year.

You don't want video capture. It'll use RFID chips.

It can happen as soon as there's a use for it.

OMG that was terrible. I usually proof read before posting. I'll get that cleaned up. Thanks for pointing that out.

Oh, and you‘ll help your family members to be jailed, if somehow involved in criminal acts.

The police have been using that data to solve crimes for years. That's how they found the golden state killer and others.

Public genealogy databases, which contain information from people who have obtained their DNA profiles from companies like 23andMe and Ancestry.com, have become a powerful police tool...

The wire was put there by Texas. It's not the property of the land owner.

Texas is pouring on a theatrical production to say the border isn't being controlled by the Biden administration. The Biden administration is removing the props for the theater production.

Yesterday there was literally an article about how China was building more coal power plants than anyone else.

They've got a lot of people and need a huge amount of electricity.
