Reply to comment by Mississimia in ‘My whole bed shook’: south Wales hit by 3.7 magnitude earthquake | Wales by vanquisher1985
I’ve lived here 33 years. I think they’re fun, the rock back and forth is cool. Worst thing that’s ever happened to me from an earthquake was that I got out of work early once.

Reply to HK socialite’s murder: Police say former father-in-law plotted killing; ex-husband arrested by pcl87
“We are still looking for the head,” Superintendent Alan Chung told reporters, after announcing that a woman’s limbs had been found in a refrigerator.”
Jesus, that was a wild read. How the hell can people do this crazy shit?

Nothing to do with us? Do you really think letting Russia run rough-shod over all their old territories not a part of NATO wouldn’t come back to hurt us? Or the West in general? Dammed if you do, dammed if you don’t. I’d rather help Ukraine and send a message to Russia that they can’t just invade their neighbors without consequence. And that they can’t just expect the world to capitulate to their every demand when threatened with nukes.

Her parents "supported her detransition".
Clearly they want to use their child as a political pawn.

The question is on what side do we need transparency? On operation side? Sure, absolutely but on winners side in-regards to their ID? Not really, it has been doing more harm than good.
A waitress who was tipped with a lottery ticket, which won, ended up losing most of the prize money going from one lawsuit to another: The cheapskate client who tipped her the ticket sued her, her colleague sued her, etc.
Money that is supposed to change a person's life by getting them out of financial problems, should not invite new financial and legal problems to their life!

That’s what it sounds like too! Anytime I’m in one this is exactly what I think it is.

Power corrupts -- and not having any power certainly reduces corruption.
This is one way to ensure cleaner politics in Michigan.

Californian here. 3.7 is kind of indistinguishable from a heavy truck driving up my street.

>Crushed? They're putting up a good fight and holding onto a great deal of their country.
Exactly BECAUSE we are sending them aid.

The answers say it's for transparency. But don't they show the drawings on TV? How much more transparent can you get than that? Don't they show them in real time? Do they show them setting up the drawing, in real time, so people watching it on TV could see anything that gets done to rig it? Do they also have live audiences?
Note that I haven't actually seen the drawings on TV, so correct me if I don't understand how they do it.

Reply to comment by kslusherplantman in Measles case tied to Asbury University revival by Loverlee
That claim was never made here though? They literally stated multiple times they were used as a meditative tool. There are people that think stones replace science but that's not the sole belief. The majority use them just as the commenter does, as meditative tools. Physical objects to focus on to direct intention, totems during the self improvement process. It's fine if you don't believe that's needed but don't shit on someone else's practice, especially when you're operating under your own bias.
Edit to add a direct quote from the commenter, in a comment above, "Are the stones realistically having an impact on reality, or me? No!" This is the common use and view of these stones. You're assuming everyone who uses them in their practice believes they heal all and have magical powers, which is entirely untrue for the majority of those who use them.

That is nonsense thinking.

We are sending weapons, though... It's hard to keep a country that is being invaded somewhat functional without an influx of money as well. Ukraine is one of the largest grain producers in Europe, if I remember correctly, which is pretty important.
I am sure there is some corruption at some level as would be with any system, but we can clearly see the outcome of our investment. Ukraine is holding its own against Russia, and the Ukrainian people are still holding strong thanks to a coordinated effort from the US and our allies.

I don't think it's a legality thing it's just store policy. The profit on selling lottery tickets is only 5.5%. Many credit cards charge more than that as a service fee to the store. It's just a financial decision.

Can we see this list before going through the process. And if we do still want a new air fryer do you have a list of what replacements they're offering
