What people are speculating is that Magnus' prep got leaked to Hans leading to him researching this line. Of course just speculation, no hard proof. I tend to be of the mindset of "innocent until proven guilty".

Well, pianos are not as easy to tune as some other instruments. But you're right that it could be done.

Anything under the inflation rate, which was 10% annual during that period, is free money.

The federal reserve buys a lot of them actually. This was a big part of what "COVID relief" money that was printed was spent on.

Well, no luck there, I'm an American. But I'm sympathetic to those across the pond that hold similar ideals as me.

I and many other believe that the government should not have the power to interview, detain, or do anything else to a person based on the contents of "offensive tweets".
Just because something is codified in law doesn't make it right.

They're not giving you permission, they're defending their own beliefs. "You" here could be replaced by "one" or "a person", similar to the French pronoun "on".

Censorship should be criticized in all forms. Two wrongs don't make a right. It's not a dichotomy.

What is the replacement for IRC that the world is moving on to? Matrix? XMPP?
Personally all the people I want to talk to still use IRC, so I'll use it to.

The key difference here is that most CCTV up to this point has not been high resolution enough to run facial detection on.

Do you have a source for this? Every resource I look at online says that decarboxylation is required for making edibles and this matches my personal experience.

I am part of the minority that would not mind at all if my neighbor had a rusted out car in their lawn. I recognize that this isn't a very common opinion though.

This depends on how many options you have. If you have many options it can be a good thing to filter out companies that would not be a good match for you.
