And a neighbor insulted by having his lawn resodded

With a billion dollars you can afford lawyers they don't want to fight.

Even at 2% annual interest you might be on the hook for $50k per day.

Considering his "meh" when he hears that a billion dollars is on the line, probably.

The outrage of the day isn't elevating, and doesn't have much to with a classical well-rounded education that is intended ennoble its students.

Prhaps this superficial news item has some generalizable theme beyond the typical trite treatment found in the news? Some argument of real substance and made in good faith?

You're in the wrong subreddit

I don't think it looks as bad as you do, but it looks like the subject's face is less symmetrical than you meant it to be.

Perhaps study some photographs of people looking in different directions. To me it looks like her ears indicate a different direction than her mouth and nose, and her chin is pointed in a third direction. None of these orientations match the eyes where being same-sized, same-shaped indicates the head is straight on.

For the same reason that most mass shootings and really most violent crime is committed by men.

Despite the veneer of courtly manners and fictions like divine rights, monarchies aren't genteel and you don't get that type of concentration of absolute power without extreme levels of aggression and violence.

There are violent and aggressive women, too, it just seems to have a lower prevalence.

If you value capitalism and profits there's no reason you would support the recall either.

The recall is great if you value a top-heavy, plutocratic dystopia. If you want economic growth and political leaders who don't gain power by splitting the electorate and pitting the middle class against the destitute then stick with what we have for now.

If you don't think Gavin Newsom is the best person for governor then the best use of your energy would be to get involved now in helping choose the candidates for the next regular election.

I imagine Antartica has logistical challenges.

edit: It looks like Africa is nearly 4,000 km from Antartica

I don't trust him at all as the narrarator that his chemical business was "stolen" from him. I'm pretty sure it was the personality defects we see throughout the show that disrupted his role in that business.

Are you implying that the transitions of power in royal lines going back 1000+ years are based on honest claims with the exception of William the Conqueror?

Royal transitions of power looked at on an individual basis always seem to involve varying amounts of violence and fraud backed up by raw power and sanitized by an official narrative that people chose to believe out of safety, convenience or their own opportunistic needs.

I speak English and Italian, and was asking a lady for help in a Paris train station. My French isn't great and her English wasn't much better so I asked if she spoke Italian. She was very offended, but that just says something about her to think that me implying she is Italian would be an insult.

Skiing in the Dolomites people would immediately start speaking to me in German even if I was in Italian territory. I don't know any German at all, so I'd just ask if they spoke English or Italian, but I didn't find it insulting

the media loves exploiting the royals

Tabloid journalism always chooses the higher ranked royal person or faction when deciding on its favorites, and it is the media too that writes the stories about the media exploiting royals.

There are exceptions where independent journalists report real corruption such as the highly inappropriate influence of parliament on laws regarding property and the ability to disguise their immense hidden wealth. However, the main role the media plays in that country's weird hyper-regimented class system is to stablish narratives for a large number of people at the lowest rungs to think they know these individuals with all of their dramas while always sticking to the unifying principle that the very top, top part of the hierarchy is where you find the heroes of the story.

For something that is exploiting the royals, the media's reporting does an excellent job resembling what a PR firm would choose as a strategy for strengthening an institution through brand engagement and preserving it's official internal ranking that is divorced from individual merit or virtue.

Don's entire identity was dependent on his work. For him the money was a necessary certification of his value and status as a creative genius.

Obviously he does not want to acknowledge that even Don Draper doesn't always have a sufficiently good idea, and that is why there is an entire department of creatives. Really this was as big a lie as when Don told Ginsberg "I don't think about you all" after he had been fixating on him all day and feeling self-doubt for the first time in probably years.

I've heard people say that Rush Limbaugh has gotten a lot better over the past five or six months. I guess people can change.

Their $1b investment in Alibaba was eventually worth more than $40b. That investment was worth so much that it made the rest of the enterprise negative valued on paper. Selling that stake ended up tanking any possibility of Yahoo! revitalizing itself. On the other hand given the later changes in China's political and economic environment, that value might have evaporated if they had waited longer to sell.

Most of the keyboards I have seen have the "A" type of contacts. Could there also be something related to the expected performance and responsiveness of different busses assigned to different groups of buttons?

For example, a cheap keyboard only has circuitry to accept a small number of simultaneous keypresses, and might not be very responsive when it comes to rapid keypresses.

In regards to your edit, it is highly irresponsible to advocate medical practices that contradict the ovwhelming consensus among other healthcare professionals. You can read literature if you choose to, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=acetaminophen+alcohol and it is your choice to continue playing with fire. I understand you are just trying to defend yourself by saying that it is safe, but this approach puts other people in danger.

N-acetyl-cysteine taken in advance will aid complete breakdown so that you suffer less from the intermediate byproducts.

It is worth noting that susceptibility to hangovers is negatively correlated with alcoholism.

Edit: since a few people have asked. In the second part I was merely stating that observational studies have noticed that different people are more or less susceptible to hangovers and that people/populations that get bad hangovers have lower incidence of alcoholism, and people relatively immune to hangovers have higher incidence of alcoholism.

I don't know if there have been studies to control for the experience of having hangovers. I would guess that disliking hangovers discourages heavy drinking, and you would need the hangovers for that discouragement. However that is an untested supposition, so maybe there is some other mechanism, too. Maybe the people with the genes to make them susceptible to alcoholism tend to have genes that make hangovers less severe.

Anyway, the reason that I brought it up is that I suspect that there is an ethical dimension to the lack of research into hangover prevention. Serious researchers probably don't want to contribute to a new public health epidemic.

How about business owners? Is it part of regulation to prevent competition with other bulk suppliers that businesses use?

You could wear the clothes, and hide the liquor in your belly.

Just a note, there are people who will die if they are not let in everyday. Lost in the mountains during a winter storm is just one example. Since many more people are killed by other people than other parts of nature (excluding health) escaping violence is an even larger component of how hospitality can be a life or death distinction. Speaking of which, there is even at least one case of someone being killed merely for knocking on a door and asking to use a phone to request assistance for car trouble.
