That breeding programme called natural selection is what got us all here.

No, not only Russians, but at least the Ukrainians fight for their homeland. Anyway, it is a game of power and ordinary people are on the bottom of the shit stack. At either side.

Many countries have tied the vehicle tax to the 'weight' of the car. Most of them use power to determine the weight, but still.

You could get taxed on traveled distance pdr year but the poses a problem with people who travel outside of the countries limits.

Toll systems seem to be quite effective.

If everyone goes in lockdown a few weeks should suffice but that's the ideal scenario. Containment and immobility are the best ways to smother an outbreak.

Oh yeah. I'm pretty new to all of this but just mentioning the fact that the CCP is doing raunchy stuff got me downvoted to hell. Even when those replies were provided with links to articles and facts I am being called racist.

Nicolas Cage is one of my guilty pleasures..

  • I love his character in Matchstick men
  • He was my favourite Travolta in Face/Off
  • Vampire's kiss... Chef's kiss
  • Leaving Las Vegas. Come on... Brilliant!

I've been using the same set of bags for 8 years now. That's a whole lot of plastic reduced.

They've got bears and Northern lights! I'm looking for some property right away!

Yes, you can run as a single item candidate. Affordable and qualitative housing sort of is a human right so you have a very valid point.

Yes, but people will be starting to react or act to get 'score'. It incentivises certain behaviour.

I can't remember which episode it was but in the Cautionary Tales podcast by Tim Harford a guest once explained that cars are too safe. Through the years we blamed cars for not being safe when people get hurt but few alterations were made to our behaviour if you campagne it to the advances they've made in car safety. If imminent death would follow everytime we made a mistake people would be more careful. That's how I feel about the roads in Wales. The lack of oversight made me be more cautious. That and the fact that I normally drive at the other side of the road.
