China should have been disqualified. At minimum the offending player should have been banned from playing.

Water once a day is inhumane in that heat.

Found it more expensive and more of a headache than a hotel. Like I don't feel like I should be expected to wash your floors, take out the garbage, etc. when I'm paying a cleaning fee.

Depends, but if it's a panic spiral I'll try to make myself as big as possible for a moment. It's a nice stretch but also helps reign in my brain.

I thought Philip DeFranco was independent? Wikipedia shows Rogue Rocket for his show?

After searching: The Roost is a podcast company but the page for Night lists them as acquiring the show. Podcast and YouTube show with the same name?

They only have a 4 year lifespan in captivity?!?!‽ I don't think I could handle that. Same with rats and mice

I would be trying to encourage chanting of pedophile.

Honestly looking them up now was the first time I'd seen anything good related to them. They made presentations in school as I was growing up that were...off the mark. Pushing for a "child" to be released when they became an adult but had committed some truly heinous crimes was not relatable.

This person is your age or younger and committed multiple murders and rapes. Could you imagine having to spend the rest of your life in jail for a mistake you made as a child?

Maybe if the murder had been accidental or the rape/sexual assault had been done by someone not old enough to understand. E.g. a 5 year old that was being abused and abused another child because that was all they knew. Or someone accidentally making mustard gas while cleaning.

Nope. Not the cases they showed off. These details and such are not exact because it's been decades. I do distinctly remember that the students were horrified and stopped volunteering with them. They brought gems like a teen (15?) murdering a family because the pre-teen daughter didn't want to date him. He then raped her, her mother, and the infant/toddler. Or an older teen that was killing people and eventually poisoned the community water supply. Not by accident. Trial and errored until people stopped just getting indigestion and started dying. Caught when they tried to replicate their "success" at a different water supply.

Otherwise they've shown up for gems like a toxic workplace, screwing over Navalny based on posts from a pro-kremlin source, poor spending practices by an excess of upper management, claiming credit for things they didn't actually contribute to, and trying to throw Ukraine under the bus but being fine with Russia's actions.

"Hey guys! We found the reason we have oxygen in the deep sea! Also we're pretty sure we can sell them for profit so we'll be removing them as fast as we can"

None of the online places even accepted my prescription last time I looked. Mine are about $800 for the lenses during a sale. They generally give me the frames for free when they see the cost of the lenses.

Insurance covers $200 every 2 years.

I miss when they had good hardware for a reasonable price. Some of my cheap original Logitech laser mice are still going, almost 2 decades later. Obviously not super heavy use as the switches have not worn out, but they've been shifted about the house as other mice break. So certainly not 0 use either.

The tasks have been things like our old media centre mouse died, the old Logi mouse "temporarily" replaced it until we replaced the media centre. It's not been unused any longer than a few months at a time.

We tried buying some recently but the new ones are all optical so they had shit performance and died after maybe 3 months of light use.
