handwritten cheques—an archaic system for transferring money that I want to underscore I believe is nevertheless perfectly ordinary and fine—and will no doubt be with us until money itself is somehow abolished.
Well, in the US. As a consumer in Europe (at least the countries I've lived in), getting a cheque book from your bank is in most cases impossible, and I'd say that's probably for the better.
Still, fun article.
Are you mocking my efforts of pasting random links into an app and pressing a button? Appalling.
I think that assuming that editorial decisions are never influenced by financial interests would be naive, but they're such a big organisation that covers such a breadth of topics that it would also seem foolish to assume a douplicitous intent behind every story. It might just be journalist covering a currently relatively widely discussed topic.
Also, Reuters generally does quite well in remaining relatively neutral in their coverage (though that impression might of course just be based on my biases).
That's a whole lot of words to say almost nothing.
I love how everyone is debating "Sells that information to companies", but no one's talking about "knows everything you do".
You have an island governed by a democratically elected government, with a population that from what I remember mostly doesn't want to be assimilated into the PRC. The PRC taking it by force would, in my eyes, be rather imperialistic.
How so? I mean, they seem to have been successful, in a sense, and nothing bad seems to have happened, but when you say 'nothing happened' I feel like you want to say that literally nothing else of significance happened, neither good nor bad. Seems like a rather boring, depressing life.
My players once almost killed a cleaner because he had the same first name as the bad guy.
Great for seeing a headline and then finding an article yourself. Less great for finding articles. Half of you people here have a penchant for linking super weird news sources.
Hallo und hereinspaziert, junger Mensch.
Hmh, not my cup of tea, but more variety is good, I think. Though hosting a popular instance might get pretty expensive.
All credible reporting I've seen is relatively certain that it was a small amount of military grade explosives.
If you have the device in front of you, and are prepping it for your secret operation, that also seems like a much more straightforward solution than trying to manipulate a lithium ion battery in a way that both allows it to work normally for years, but then explode violently enough to kill someone holding it.
