Yeah, my experience has been the same which is why I wanted to clarify.

Most of those electronics are new though, and we don’t have a way to compare apples to apples. It’d be nice if manufacturers still offered a truly base model like they did decades ago.

is one of the main reasons why new cars today aren’t as reliable as ones from the early 2000’s.

I’m curious about the data that supports this claim? I’ve often heard people lament how cars have “gotten worse” or aren’t “as reliable” as they used to be but I recently read an article from Worse on Purpose that highlights how cars are better manufactured than they used to be.

Or are you using reliability to refer to the accessories and features newer cars have that can fail or require more difficult repair without actually impacting a modern vehicles primary function of transport?

Why are they a rube?

Per the link in your screenshot OSM is following the standard of using the GNIS official name, while also keeping the displayed name as the common name until and if common usage on both sides of the border begins to reflect the official name in GNIS.

Precedent from the Gulf of Mexico/“Gulf of America” discussion as well as accepted OSM convention would suggest that once GNIS is updated (which it appears it is already), official_name:en-US=* should be added/changed to Lake America, but name=*left as is unless and until common usage on the ground on both sides of the border shifts to prefer the “Lake America” name (which seems very unlikely).

Note: emphasis is mine

The regular Costco members can still shop at a business center but the merchandise is not targeted towards them.

The business centers sell things like cases of cups, plates, disposable silverware, legs, shoulders and other large cuts of meat, cases of common restaurant ingredients, salt and pepper shakers in bulk for tables etc.

We go to the business center by us every so often because they carry real American cheese in bulk, not the Kraft garbage the regular Costco has.

Hyperkalemia is rare among those who are otherwise healthy.

Let’s it happen? I regularly see the police where I live do the kinds of things they pull people over for; speeding, rolling stops, distracted driving, failure to signal etc.

Tough to maintain credibility when those charged with enforcement don’t follow the rules either.

Not really, no.

Let’s say your name is John and for 200+ years everybody called you John. Then, along came a person we’ll call Captain Kiddiefucker.

Now Captain Kiddiefucker is a moron who wields significant power and directs everyone who’s too chickenshit to stand up to him that they should start calling you Guy.

Your name is still John, except now you have the advantage of easily recognizing Captain Kiddiefucker and his cult of pedophiles and idiots because they’ll all call you Guy.

That’s basically what this EO does.

Switched to an alt to shill some more?

Why does this feel like Buc-ee’s decided to try and cash in on MAGA appeal. Wonder how that will work out long term.

The only time I’ve visited a 7-11 was on vacation in Virginia Beach and this was my exact experience.

Why is it not surprising a shill for the wealthy gets combative and resorts to insults?

The wealthiest person in America in the 1950s was JP Getty.

His worth was about $1 billion. Which would equate to $13.86 billion today.

1. There were way more deductions available. Basically, nobody ever paid any taxes at such a high rate.

Ok, maybe, I’d be interested in seeing a source on this, but what qualified them for those deductions? Dumping huge sums of money back into the country and the community? There was a time the wealthy built libraries and parks and voluntarily gave some back.

2. The primary reason for the post-war “golden age” that MAGA waxes nostalgia about is because almost the entire manufacturing sector of most European countries was wiped out. By comparison, the US was almost fully intact, and had a massive new base of workers trained in manufacturing. We went from a nation of farmers to a nation of city-dwelling industrialists almost overnight.

Not at all accurate. Yes, much manufacturing has left because it’s cheaper to off shore it to developing nations, but America isn’t less prosperous now. That prosperity has just been consolidated to the top 1% more and more.

Not a uniquely American problem:

Might make more sense for people across the globe to support each other against right-wing extremism rather than tear each other down and point fingers.

But you do you, I guess…

Yes, just a few things:

My great-great-grandfather’s portrait, bayonet and a copy of his discharge papers from his Civil War service.

The flag from my grandfather’s coffin.

There are things I’d like to have/keep in the family when my parents pass.

I’m willing to bet that the BBC will PAY Trump money at the end of this

I’ll take your bet. What do you want to wager?

GDPR is a law with real legal consequences that protects EU citizens (EU as in European Union).

Do European citizens frequently turn to an “affiliate for the Duluth-Superior broadcast area, which covers northeastern Minnesota, northwestern Wisconsin, and the western portion of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula” for their news?

Do you spouse it’s easier for a local or regional organization to set policy to block warn GDPR covered connections or have someone spend time ensuring the site is GDPR compliant for the 1s? 10s? 100s? of hits they get?

they don’t need to retrofit their entire website.

Except they do, because even if they’re pretty certain their site is compliant with GDPR they’d still have to review the code to make certain it is or risk legal liability if anything isn’t.

Many small to medium organizations that aren’t operating outside of the USA chose to just block connections instead.

Is there a lot of people outside the US checking an “affiliate for the Duluth-Superior broadcast area, which covers northeastern Minnesota, northwestern Wisconsin, and the western portion of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula” regularly for their news?
