It seems this is working as intended i.e., roads are part of the drainage system: https://news3lv.com/news/local/hurricane-hilary-flooding-minimal-in-las-vegas-urban-area

It's hyperbole. You've never been very hungry and said "I'm starving" or been out in very hot weather for a while and said "I'm dying out here"? I'm pretty sure the average reader is able to figure out from context she has not actually been abducted to a black site and waterboarded.

Perhaps, but the prevalence of single family homes is a huge problem itself. They generally bring in less in tax dollars than they cost the city to maintain, since it's more road, sidewalk, sewer, etc. for one household. My tax dollars as someone who lives in a multifamily building subsidize others in my city who have one household on much larger properties. I don't want these people to have more tax breaks and incentivize more of that to be built.

I just gripped my dunks so hard, I squirted iced coffee everywhere. This is sacrilege.

Why I no longer play online multiplayer games in a nutshell.

A key point is that intellectual property law was written to balance the limitations of human memory and intelligence, public interest, and economic incentives. It's certainly never been in perfect balance. But the possibility of a machine being able to consume enormous amounts of information in a very short period of time has never been a variable for legislators. It throws the balance off completely in another direction.

There's no good way to resolve this without amending both our common understanding of how intellectual property should work and serve both producers and consumers fairly, as well as our legal framework. The current laws are simply not fit for purpose in this domain.

Number three can be called gooselighting for short.

Very rarely. Physical intimacy in movies or TV is like a strong seasoning. In the right place, it can accentuate the flavor and bring it to another level. Otherwise, you're just adding curry powder to a cherry danish.

They do to get on the ballot, though I don't think they need to get those themselves physically. It's not exactly practical at the scale of the POTUS due to the number of states and population, since each state party has their own requirements.

I think the best way to get new faces would be a solely public funded campaign process combined with something like ranked choice voting. The current levers are controlled by too few now for any minor rule changes to move the needle.

There's got to be some threshold, though. I agree that new faces need to be able to get on the stage, but it can't just be anyone who wants to. Debates with too many candidates are chaotic.

She's discovered an efficiency. I'm sure she'll eventually figure out how to get the dog to also lie in sun spots.

I'm impressed by the psychopaths, but I don't understand how it's remotely fun banging your head against the wall for days to beat a final boss naked using just a dead fish for a weapon.
