In the OG Andersen story she’s 15, not sure where 14 came from. Seems a little silly to only choose the age as a sticking point, the whole original story is nowhere near as happy as the Disney-ified version. She’s tortured by pain in her human feet and is forced to choose between killing the prince so she can go back to the ocean or marrying him and dying from a much shorter human life, but instead commits suicide.
Because engagement bait.
Kakistocracy, too.
They are exactly like every shitty warlord dictator that pillages their home country and then runs away to some other country with all the money they stole.
“blasts.”
How about “charges with fraud, orders Tesla to replace any inoperative panels sold with working models and have them installed for the customer free of charge, refunds the customer the original cost charged for said panels, and pays the customer interest on calculated electric service KWh savings lost while panels were inoperative/not installed by Tesla.”
The petroleum market is very complex and I don’t have the brains to dig into it. Suffice to say that thanks to all the bombs and missiles flying around and hitting oil infrastructure right now the markets have become unhinged as far as what oil costs and what refined products cost and the reltaionships between those and market/future prices. IOW per bbl cost can be down and gas prices up, or vice versa. For now though just know that it’s going to be years before proces could start coming back down thanks to the destroyed refining and shipping capabilities.
But anyway, you already answered your question…they pocket the difference. And odds are that even if refining capability catches back up, consumers won’t see a commensurate drop in price. “Record profits”, y’know.
Because context matters. Why don’t you care about the distinction that Italy wasn’t actually Italy in Columbus’ time but a collection of city states, republics, and kingdoms? Columbus shopped his idea around until he found buyers for his plans. We have to be skeptical of the canned history we’re fed, it always leaves important details out. We’re not 6 years old anymore and learning about George Washigton cutting down the Cherry Tree, we’re grown up and should know the story is bullshit.
September and claims it has already rerouted 180 flights for average savings of 10 minutes and 80 gallons of fuel, Ars wrote (that’s just shy of $345 per flight, at jet fuel rates of $4.31/gallon as of Thursday).
A tool that cost a little under a BILLION dollars…so far…saved $62,000? That’s the stupidest waste of taxpayer money in the last 5 minutes with this administration. And of course it saved airlines the money, while taxpayers got stuck with the $800 million dollar bill for the WalMart brand airplane route planner.
Bill Burr, the King of Ambivalence.
He says a lot of stuff that’s dead on right, then he turns around and says some beleif that makes him a dick.
THAT’S A HEADACHE FOR A DIFFERENT REASON.
That’s a headache for a different reason.
Might be the sulfites in wine giving you the headache. Not that I’m encouraging anyone to drink more, but if you want to, try out sulfite-free wine and see if that alleviates any problems.
Overwhelm the system with so many criminals, just like their Gish Gallop of continouously telling lies every time they speak, they make it impossible to expend the effort to punish them all. Especially seeing as they hold the traitorous SCotUS who will let them off the hook for just about anything.
Turning the White House into a sidekick for this gilded monstrosity.
No more folding after acting like they accomplished something.
Summoned to testify. How often do any of these investigations result in people going to jail? He’s rich af, so odds are nothing will happen to him.
Overcompensating so hard you can tell they don’t mean it.
All any decent person would have done would be to call the soldier personally and apologize, then issue a public apology acknowledging what they f’d up and why they were wrong.
Instead it’s a meaningless medal and they’ll probably still screw with thia soldier’s career.
Why the f does that matter? They existed as they did, killed multiple millons, so don’t butwhatabout and redirect.
Good riddance.
The epitome of corporate “help” uselessness.
Questions and critcisms were largely ignored. If you did get an answer it was some canned copypasta like “did you turn it off and on again?” while completely ignoring any obvious or detailed steps you’d already described in your request for assistance. Any help usually resolved into “pay us to fix it” or “nuke your phone, lose everything not saved in the cloud, and start from scratch.”
