Oh damn, probably I could have claimed that then. Thanks for the tip!

Yeah, just out of warranty unfortunately

65" Hisense TV. Bought it new and 1.5 years later the motherboard died. Scoured the Internet for the part and it turned out Hisense didn’t even sell it, you had to buy secondhand used boards.

But it must have been a common problem b/c over ~6 months even the resellers were permanently sold out. Recycled it in the original packaging.

IMO companies like that should be forced to recycle every scrap of their e-waste themselves.

I always dislike these questions where you’re expected to have the answer partway through the passage to meet time requirements.

What if the last sentence reverses the conclusion and the structure of the exam leads you to miss it?

Also they will arbitrarily decide how much your car was worth. Did proactive maintenance and no accidents? Cool, now it’s assessed to be the same as if you had six unrepaired fender benders and kept raccoons in the back seat.

IDK what instance or community that would be but it sounds like a good idea. Also I can personally send you a cat picture if that would help

They need a treaty that provides for consequences when Israel breaks it.

You could argue that acting as a protector, builder, provider is more male/masculine based on sexual dimorphism.

Protecting in a healthy way might be, for example, going out trick-or-treating with the kids. Other examples might be building a doghouse or inviting an out-of-town friend to stay at your home.

Of course, for an individual the ‘healthy’ in healthy masculinity/feminity is most important. The second part is entirely optional and very subjective.

Unfortunately causing damage is almost always much easier than protecting against it. For a deadly virus this seems especially true because someone could have a lab in their garage and die once it’s created, but to study it afterward would require extreme care.

So say a few bastards release 1000 variants of different super-viruses instead of just one. Then the research and infrastructure needed to counter them multiply potentially to an unrealistic level.

Also if someone can create super-ebola, that doesn’t mean a vaccine could also be created.

I mean he tried. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Mountain_Peace_and_Justice_Party

He was also regarded as independent for many years.

Does this suggest that merchants have added an intermediary country to the China->US supply chain?

Correlation doesn’t imply causation, but it does waggle its eyebrows suggestively and gesture furtively while mouthing ‘look over there’. -Source

Unfortunately whichever party is in power is incentivized to be in favor of biasing the process toward themselves, both parties choose to keep gerrymandering even though it’s obviously voter suppression.

This is also why neither of them will support ranked choice/instant run-off voting.

I think most people would agree that it does matter how rare it is.

Even if imperfect, ranked choice voting would give voters considerably more voice than they have now. That could be used to, for example, vote in another method in the future.

Don’t be too relieved. There’s a bill banning RCV that passed the Texas Senate and is being considered by the House: https://www.billtrack50.com/billdetail/1751192

At least in the US, tipping is the accepted way that we compensate certain people for their time.

If you habitually never tip, you are not paying for the service that you receive in good faith. This is theft of service.

If you don’t like tipping, patronize places that include the tip in the bill. Tell restaurant owners to change their pay structure to avoid it. It won’t be changed by you individually shirking your obligation to pay.

Your choice not to tip will make no difference to the company, but every difference to a person who suffers through customer service for a living.

“I don’t want to subsidize a company” is just you inventing a convenient way to justify what is essentially theft. Why stop at not tipping? You could probably get away with stealing IDK, playground equipment too.

Translation: following time travel, everything resets to exactly as it was before time travel.

Not exactly groundbreaking, considering this is assumed by the premise of a closed timeline curve.
