Exactly. It is potential debt and it goes against getting new loan/debt from banks. No matter if you have used the credit card or not. The banks look at the available limit on an your credit cards or available credit and view that as debt when they calculate how much they can loan you.

In Norway having loads of credit cards is negative for getting a house loan as it is potential debt that goes against your payment ability for the house loan.

Meaning we do have a credit score system for getting loans and more stuff on various credit solutions, but credit cards works against larger loans.

Which can be a pain in the ass when you want to buy a house/apartment and have credit cards that might deny you the last bit of money to win the bidding war...

It's always fun to listen to some Americans labelling Dems as commies.

This is obviously not the same view as OP, but based upon the comments I thought I could throw a light on where "the world" places Dems and Republicans on the wold political scene. Ish...

There's loads of comments mentioning this site https://metric-time.com/

I'm sure the artist intended to be smart and use metric time as something silly.

The problem is he used regular time.

60 * 60 * 24=86400=>86.4 kseconds where k stands for 1000. Like kilo for 1000 grams. Kilometer for 1000 meters etc.

The comic doesn't make sense...

Early termination fees are not that horrible. They can give you a monthly cost where some of the costs for installing it might be distributed over they contact period. Fine and ok

But i should still be able to cancel my contract without jumping through 11 loops and queues.

If you sign up for a given contract, that's what you have agreed upon. It sucks if you only have one option and they can set a ridiculous price. So if you want to regulate pricing, that's a different matter. Cancelling is something else altogether.

I hope it was a genious piece of code that was miles ahead of what it replaced.

And still it got rejected 😄

The more you walk or run, the more breaths you make. What's your pulse/breath while walking? What about "any other form of activity" that could introduce sweat? Skimming, cycling, skiing, fucking.. hell even hopping wood and lifting weights make you breathe faster if you strain yourself.

I'll be take breaths

Well... How do you define what a group of ppl look like? Are all Japanese of the same descent? Can an immigrant not become Japanese? How would this play out in the US? Only native Americans could represent the country? Or are you inferring that a given number of years must pass before a new skin tone can represent a country?

Just curious, you do know that such a rule would eventually reduce the human race to nill? Natural and unnatural deaths requires 2,X to remain at same level.

Btw, you should watch the British series Utopia

It's a false comparison. Government are not trying to be innovative. They said but trying to invent new form of governing the state.

At best, a restructure of a department is an RnD for a state. Hell, even elections could be considered RnD...
