Allowing for profit healthcare is very much economic policy too.

Yes, but the economic policy too, they don’t even have universal healthcare.

Isn’t it “funny” how LGBT is “degenerate western propaganda” in communist dictatorships and “Marxist propaganda” for capitalistic autocrats.

You are right about USB, thunderbolt 3+PCI Express on the other hand allows very low level memory access, and in older implementations there’s nothing the operating system can do. But then again even if they force a specific thunderbolt configuration to prevent DMA it will still leave the “normal” PCIe ports as a way to access the memory outside the purview of the OS.

That and Geralt’s story got a natural end in Blood and Wine, and it would be stupid to bulldoze that.

Well that depends on much you want the media and the internet to analyse your favourite Pokémon or your opinion on the merits of the Lorax vis-a-vis the Unabomber Manifesto.

Thou shalt use proper pronouns and not be lazy recycling plural pronouns in the singular. What next, are thou planing to use a singular “we” like inbred royalty?

What issue? I fail to see how that impacts you negatively in any way.

Hunting for ISIS rats.

That’s because the costs are negotiated centrally, so healthcare is relatively cheap even if you have to pay for it. Some European countries are even having problems because some Americans found out that it’s often much cheaper to pay for a plane ticket, a nice hotel, and the treatment costs fully out of their own pocket in Europe than having the same treatment in the US even with insurance.

Potayto-Potahto, despite rivalries here and there the oligarchs are a big worldwide friends club, and Russia just happens to be one of the places where they have a tighter grip.

It happens to everyone, once a doctor prescribed a medicine off-label and my Krankenkasse (german non-profit health insurance) refused to cover all of it. I had to pay 10 euros out of my own pocket.The pharmacist was super apologetic about the whole thing. /s

Like some professional investors are not breathing in more cocaine than air to trade 24h around the globe. The current gap is on weekends.

You know Nazi concentration camp was once a smoke screen/euphemism for something far worse, right? Concentration camp was a warm and fuzzy enough of a term to be used by other countries, US included.

Of course Trump is not going to call his camps concentration camps, we are just going to have yet another euphemistic term that no one will dare to use outside of historical context 20 years from now.

To a large extent yes. The only exception I know is, like @dont_lemmee_down@lemm.ee mentioned, Portugal that used the 100$00 format and now uses the 0,5€ format - which is still the closest to the previous standard without looking horrible.

The key point is what liberties do they mean. And usually they mean the liberty to have sex with minor and/or effectively owning people.

The actual standard for English language (as well as Irish, Maltese and Dutch) is € first: https://style-guide.europa.eu/en/content/-/isg/topic?identifier=7.3.3-rules-for-expressing-monetary-units

For all other languages it’s value first.

Luckily no one remembered to put it in the middle yet, which I assume is only because 50€10 looks cursed.

But there’s also the part where, canonically, the transporter takes some shortcuts and reuses some allegedly common data for your species potentially modifying your DNA. Who knows what else it simplifies for efficiency.

Except it doesn’t, the most popular order is nonsensical and Ted was right about it.

If someone asks you what you did yesterday, do you usually list events at random, or do you list them in chronological order? Sentences with multiple clauses are ordered by timeline by default.

So, of course you can have a cake and eat it too, you just won’t have a cake anymore at end of the sentence. What’s impossible is to eat the cake and still have if after that.

That’s not true in any big city. While the laws keep the landlord madness limited, real estate and rent prices are out of control because of speculation, and there are tons of horror stories to go around - and by experience, I would say they are even more common with individual landlords than with large companies, at least large companies don’t usually do anything obviously illegal and have less venues to make their tenants homeless.
