I think this post would do good having a small text telling what it's point is. It is apparently here to tell that its map shows Crimea as part of the Russia?
They are the locals. They are indigenous New Zealanders and they are doing something that is customary in their culture in the kind of situation they were in during that session.
The New Zealand lawmakers were trying to pass a bill that would have severely reduced the rights of the locals, and this reaction is part of how the local culture demands people to act.
True that. And I understand it was impolite of me to not correct this.
I would still like to remind that the claim "he has Parkinson's" is not by me. What is known is that he has tremors, and people jump the gun and assume that's Parkinson's. No, it is not necessarily Parkinson's.
It can also be just some other – strong – drugs having tremor as a side effect. And then what those medications might be (partially?) healing is more relevant than whether one can live long with Parkinson's or not.
I added a bit of text to my comment above, so that people won't be misled. Thank you for the correction!
Okay, true, technically not Parkinsons. But medicines can cause symptoms that are the same as those of the most visible symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Hands shaking, difficulty in walking, mind not working completely. No idea of the pharmacology behind it. All I know that I've seen it happen.
Tabasco's owners have been supporting the Russia in its war of genocide.
A company doing that is no way "good dudes".
Uh, the Russia is doing that on every possible platform. Why would ours be an exception? What makes Lemmy so special?
Mathematics and languages have different rules.
In languages it is possible for one century to be a yewa shorter than all the others. Other centuries begin on a year divisible by hundred, but centuries 1–99 and -1–-99 don't. They are both missing a year, and outside mathematics that's just fine.
If almost all native speakers of a language say that a century begins in a year divisible by hundred then that's how it goes in that language.
On working days before 16 o'clock bank transfers inside EU are instantaneous. After that, next working day. If the shop has the same bank as the customer, it's always instantaneous.
But, the shop receives immediate confirmation that the money has been successfully taken from the customer's account and will arrive soon.
...which is actually how it works with card payments as well. With card payments, the shop receives the money about a week later, but gets an immediate confirmation that the money is on the way.
Handling cash costs money as well.
I'd like to know who got the idea to name the system with a word meaning "tax" in Finnish, one of the official languages of EU... Both are related to money, so there is a possibility for confusion.
(We used to always use w, and had a reform some ~century ago to allow using v instead. Therefore, w is considered another form of v in Finnish, and thereby wero equals vero)
Online you pay by bank transfer. Instead of "credit card", I choose "online bank", click my bank's name, enter my online banking login and password, give one of the single-use codes and press "transfer". A bank transfer from my account to the bank account number defined by the shop is made, no money goes to USA.
Breaking anti-bribery laws of a country is illegal, no matter whether they are enforced in some other country or not. Of course Microsoft can break the law and then keep paying large fines until they decide to no longer break the law.
