Right. Well, yeah, I guess your pedantic response is a lot more logical than the intended answer that other people have pointed out. Have a nice day!
I'm not saying it's impossible for him to win. Definitely not counting our chickens yet. But many people in Romania vote for familiar names, for the big parties. He's an independent and most people have never heard of him. In your case, that was the incumbent. It's a big difference.
He somehow managed to get 2.1 million votes. That's huge and a major surprise as everyone is saying. But it's another thing to get 4-5 million votes. Yes, he'll get more votes in the second round, but in order to win, he'll need to more than double his votes. (He got 2.1 million out of almost 9.5 million votes) Which is unlikely. Not impossible, no. There's still a chance that people will be dumb. But it's unlikely.
It's sad, yes. But, he doesn't have nearly enough votes to win in the second round. Especially since the votes were super split among a bunch of guys. Most people will just vote for his opposition, Lasconi and Romania will have the first female president. Who is also only the 2nd or 3rd worst option, which is better than I expected. All in all, feels like a win to me.
So your argument is that in the list "a, b, c, ..., z" the "..." Bit could be anything and we have no way of knowing what's there and therefore the problem is unsolvable? Or what are you saying exactly?
No, but the point they're trying to make is, I think, that the more you complain, the more other people complain and the more other people start complaining and unless we have enough complainers and people switching, nothing is gonna change.
Our power is imperceptible but not non-existent
Oh, oh. I can pitch in! I've met 5, personally. Every single one of them inherited the position from their parents or had a head start by having wealthy parents.
Out of the ones that inherited the jobs: 1 is the owner of a small hotel for which the general manager and the rest of the staff do all the work and have all the stress. She's 35-ish and hasn't worked a day in the last 4 years.
Second one is top 100 richest person in the country and she has directors and managers doing all the actual work and she just supervises them. Her biggest stress is her younger brother that actually works and is trying to take her businesses away from her. Instead of.. you know.. sharing and being stress-free.
Out of the "self made" ones: one somehow managed under communism, at 36, to be the chief of some government branch. Travelled a lot and shit. At the time, in 1990, he had a house, a car, 1000$ in savings (average, not minimum, salary at the time was 150$). And he got a 20k $ mortgage to start his own business, so that couldn't have been a cheap house. (Google says you could buy a 3 bedroom apartment in the center of the capital for 20k)
Other ones are just more of the same. Parents sent them to study abroad, get a bunch of experience, then they came back, used money most people don't have to start businesses and now at 40 they don't need to work anymore.
So...yeah.. stop licking their butts, please.
Oh, and forgot to mention that 2 of them went to prison for corruption and tax evasion. One of them also beat his wife, but she didn't file any charges afaik cause she was just as crazy as him.
Oh, and he offered me a job abroad, promised to pay my rent for half a year to help me get settled. He fired me after a month when he realized he didn't need me anymore and let me fend for myself. Ofc he also only paid a month of rent. So.. yeah jobless and homeless in a foreign country was fun.
Yep, I've been trying my best to also say thank you to devs that go out of their way when they don't have to. (And also to musicians since I mainly listen to metal and 99.9% of those guys don't get the recognition they deserve)
Just checked. With a population of 40k people and a rate of 2.6 murders per 100k, that comes out to a whopping 1 murder. Interestingly, their homicide rate went up by 98.55% in 2021. So.. yeah.. 2 people murdered.
Also, if you've looked at the same map as I did, that was Guiana with a 10.2, not Paris. Paris is sub 3. All mainland France is sub 3. It's the islands that are bringing up the average, not Paris.
Also, even taken as a whole, the US isn't that well placed when compared to world average. Map that makes it easy to see.
The colour chart in the top right maxes at 12.5. Not the graph. Louisiana passes the 15 mark by a little bit. So that makes it around 700 people up from 571.
Here. This is just one I happened to read 5 minutes before stumbling upon your post and going like "wtf is this guy smoking?" Because, yeah... Go to any post about the invasion and you'll find putin hate comments. Hell, even on trump related stuff you'll find plenty of trump+putin hate comments.
I think you're just dealing with some confirmation bias enforced by the fact that there's been a ton more trump+elon news lately than Ukraine war stuff.
It's easier than even mint. Because I've installed windows dozens of times and it has always worked out of the box. Always.
Friend gave me their old laptop that was sluggish and asked me to reinstall windows. I proposed Linux and promised them it'd work even better, they reluctantly agreed. I install mint. Sound not coming through headphones. I update everything that's there to update, tried a bunch of shit and waste like an hour before I finally find a thread that suggested manually updating to a newer kernel version. That fixes it.
Now I know something extra for next time but if it were someone less stubborn, they'd have given up and went back to windows. Most people don't know and don't care about debloating, trackers and whatnot.
Tldr; Windows is the easiest OS to install because it works right out of the box. Many Linux distros are even easier to install, but don't always work out of the box.
I guess they don't consider it bluesky defeating twitter if twitter is commiting suicide. Sounds like pedantry to me.
The earliest recorded use of an unmanned aerial vehicle for warfighting occurred in July 1849, serving as a balloon carrier (the precursor to the aircraft carrier) is the first offensive use of air power in naval aviation.
If you need something more modern, these for example are from the early 90s
You're confusing the ingredient list with the cooking order. Chili is a chili based recipe because that's the main ingredient, the ingredient that needs to be there, on top of which you can add other stuff.
Those are just used as aromatics, they're not a main ingredient . You can replace them with other stuff or just omit them altogether and you'd still get a Chili. But if you replace the chili, then you just get a stew, can't really call it chili anymore.
Take beef bourguignon, for example. It's a stew as well but its main ingredients, or base, if you will, are the beef and the red wine. Can't replace those and still call it that
I mean.. you can just mail it using a burner email. Simpler. Why go through the trouble of printing it.
According to google (and since the name implies it as well I'm inclined to believe it) it's actually a chili pepper based stew. With or without meat. Tomatoes and beans are common ingredients, but not part of the base.
Hey, look! Mango with yet another shit take. What a surprise!
