Do you know how I can tell when I have an incoming call or message? My phone, which is in my pocket, makes a noise and vibrates. Why the absolute hell would I want my vacuum cleaner to notify me of a call?
And the washer too? Do they seriously think people just sit around at home taking calls every 5 minutes that they need every appliance to be able to make/take phonecalls?
There are. It's just the US is a large car-centric country which makes travel difficult and the ruling party controls almost all of the media and thus there is a media blackout on protests.
She went into prison in 2023 so she will be there for a while yet.
I don't think her wealth is known exactly but she and her company lost billions during the scandal.
Elizabeth Holmes comes to mind. She manoeuvred herself into a position of wealth and power by defrauding other rich people and got herself 11 years in prison for it. That's 11 years more than most other rich scumbags get.
How is this even a deal? Ukraine gets basically nothing in return.
This is just extortion.
And this is where some of the worst long-term damage to the US is going to be felt.
The world seeks reliable trade partnerships and the US is willing throwing them away to empower its biggest rival.
Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
Is it missing ROPs too?
Fish do too. Fish have pressure sensors down the lengths of their bodies they use for navigation, sensing prey and predators, and communicating.
My gouramis are making clicking noises in their tank as I type this. Love those things.
Myths like this have always made me kinda angry. Anybody that has owned fish for more than a few days could easily say that this isn't true at all.
But aside from that - animals simply wouldn't exist if they were that stupid. The world is a dangerous place, especially underwater. Not having even basic memory and pattern recognition would be a one-way flight to extinction.
Depends on by whom and how long. The US produces a lot of things but also imports a lot of critical goods and materials as well.
If Canada, Mexico, China, and the EU & UK all banded together for sanctions or embargoes? The US economy would be pushing daisies pretty quick. Especially if the actions were coordinated and did not give the US time to react and adjust.
But the countries issuing those actions wouldn't be in good shape either. Trade wars are a 2-way street.
I've noticed a few intersections around me have put up "Yield to bicycles when turning right" signs.
Sad that a basic fundamental rule of driving needs its own dedicated sign. It'd be like having a sign that says "Proceed on green".
