You are allowed to personally like one city over the other. It just seems silly to base your opinion on living in one and a few days in another, and then argue when people point out that it seems like you haven't really done or gone to the places that make a place interesting.
Ballard, Capitol Hill, Alki, University, Sunset Hill... The list goes on. Every single one of those neighborhoods has a completely different vibe (many of them used to be different cities). Incredible restaurants if you put in the slightest amount of effort to finding them. Tons of fun and interesting activities. The city is on a hill above the ocean (JUST like SF), the views are hard to avoid. Year round running weather. It may be that you just like SF more, and that's fine.
Hell, the whole concept of a jury trial is that the most critical function of a court is reserved for people with no legal education.
In the 90s and earlier it was hard to be in a city and not be breathing cigarette smoke pretty much constantly. Offices had ashtrays in the elevator waiting areas for people who couldn't wait to get to their office, restaurants had half the seating reserved for smokers, there were ashtrays in the armrest of every single seat on an airplane.
Its kind of crazy how much norms have changed around smoking in public. It's not "rare" to see a smoker, its that it is much rarer than it was in the past.
He bankrolled the Hulk Hogan lawsuit against Gawker as revenge because they reported on him being gay. The judgement forced gawker into bankruptcy where it was scooped up by private equity. The new managers gutted the place and forced the writers and editors to publish clickbait garbage instead of doing journalism.
That’s why Gizmodo looks nothing like what you remember.
Normally it doesn’t get to that point though. CPAs do not want to be known as the person that misfiled taxes and got a court to rule them negligent. They carry insurance for errors so mostly just end up queitly making it right when there is an error.
You could just run any other OS if any of the free OS upgrades that Apple provides aren’t good enough.
They must conclude the stop in a reasonable amount of time, without delay, and if the drug dog hasn’t arrived in the time that it takes them to write you a ticket, you can not be detained any longer.
The existence of Credit Unions and small banks that offer similar but limited service does not negate the pricing power of Canadian banks. E.g. in most other modern countries paying $17-$35/mo for a checking account is not normal. In Canada that is just what every major bank charges for a checking account.
its also worth highlighting that many of the "options" in Canada are just online only brands of the big 6.
Continuing to patronize a business that will not sell you a product you want is being a pushover. The flip side is if a business is in the custom of only providing certain services to those who threaten to leave, then they shouldn't be surprised when people threaten to leave in order to receive good service.
I suspect that you live in Canada, which has the banking oligopoly that leads to banks not giving a shit, and customers that are used to banks not trying. If more people were willing to take their money and walk, Canadian banking would probably suck less ass.
In your example no one is going to dig a rival pipe because you can't just go around installing pipes under other people's roads and land. The permission to do that is granted to a single entity by the government, further reinforcing the natural monopoly. There is no situation where it is economically feasible to lay more pipe when you have no right to do that.
Why in the world would the cost of electricity be a factor in wanting to separate federally by anyone with the slightest amount of brain tissue?
I just said that the evidence that you are picking from tells a more complex story than "their stock is near an ATH" when it hasn't even recovered to where it was the day before the disaster.
Its kind of deceptive to talk about nearing an all time high without mentioning that the current all time high was 2 decades ago.
Scientists should not change the scientific method so morons can continue to ignore or cherrypick their studies.
If you can get any drones through at all, it still comes out assymetrical. If you shoot 9/10 of my drones down with magically free munitions, but I blow up a refinery or take out a fighter sitting on the ground I still win. Right now there just isn't a system that can guarantee 100% intercept rates over the long run.
Ukraine, Russia and Iran have all proved that there is no foolproof interceptor. Right now, the drone gets through.
That said: how many APKWS missiles does it take to eliminate a full wave of Shaheds? If the answer is not 1:1 shot to kill ratio (it isn't), the match still works out in favor of the drones. If a single drone gets through it works out massively. If my defense platform is an F-15 or F-35 for cheap missiles, I also have to eat the cost and readiness loss of operating that jet ($30k per hour). We see this exact math in incidents like the Prince Sulatan Air Base attack which was defended by patriots, and where several planes were damaged or destroyed on the ground.
Its also worth pointing out that Patriots are reportedly getting used to defend against Shaheds in the gulf and Ukraine, especially the newer generations that are faster and higher flying.
Sure the US needs to prevent that sort of attack, but one way to prevent it is to avoid the situation in the first place. I don't need to worry about Iran or North Korea nuking me because I live in a country that hasn't had a war of choice with either of them. The price of installing the Shah is still being paid in the need to defend from Iranian retaliation.
You cannot "just quit" the military as an employer.
