The use of Russian engines on the Atlas dates back to a Clinton program after the collapse of the USSR. With the Soviet Union no longer able to pay its rocket scientists, it was thought that it was better that the United States pay them for their expertise rather than some other more hostile government gain access to their knowledge.
She plays big stadiums & arenas. There aren’t really any slight lines to the stage that aren’t inside the facility. Trump was giving a speech in a field, with neighboring buildings outside the security perimeter.
TL;DR: Taylor Swift draws bigger crowds than Donald Trump, and is probably safer for it.
Something he and Nikki Haley have in common. Trump was happy to have her, despite earlier saying anyone who voted for her was permanently banned from MAGA, so really it’s the perfect match.
The way this usually works out is you loose all the good employees and you’re left with the dregs who were unable to find another remote position in time.
The 90’s Star Wars arcade game would be nice, but it’d require a licensing deal with Disney, so it’s probably never going to happen as a Yakuza minigame.
This thread reminds me I need to get over to Funspot. They’ve got a great collection of classic arcade and pinball machines. Web site claimed 600 games, but some of that is newer stuff, or mechanical games like Skiball and Wack-a-mole, which aren’t video games. Probably 300 vintage units, though. Haven’t made a pilgrimage this calendar year, though, so it doesn’t count.
I think this policy is a mistake. I think the US should be moving away with tipping, and this will just make it harder. European restaurants work this way and don’t seem to be suffering.
I hate having to judge a waitress, barber, or driver after receiving service then doing math on the bill. Worse yet is housekeeping at a hotel; you’re expected to leave them a tip when you don’t even know what kind of job they’re going to do. Just charge me on the bill whatever it costs to pay these people fairly and stop making me make up the difference.
This action will probably reduce pressure on the defensive lines in Ukraine, too, as Putin has to redeploy troops the defend Kursk and any supply lines that run through it.
I swear the people in unit 402 are illegally subletting their place on AirBnB.
