Nono, see this was totally normal procedure. It was just a wild accident that the kid was sealed inside completely inverted. Not their fault. Clearly. For some reason. If they’d left him the right way round, he might have set off the alarm?
I thought this was a bit absurd until I looked up what a “bivy” is, as I’d been assuming it was just a tent.
Yeah, not hard to see how a kid could suffocate by getting turned around in what is basically a watertight sack with two sticks added. Wtf? who puts kids, let alone kids with anxiety, into one of those things unattended? holy shit.
If cows made tools, they’d probably suck.
Sticks and stones may break my drones…
I’m just commenting to get your hopes up that you might have gotten an answer, but I don’t know either. Please, someone tell me what it means :(
I’m not sure you know what a fact is…
AI SCHMA-I, WHERE’S THE LOVE FOR DEBIAN?
This is Auschwitz I, right? AFAIK the nazis demolished all of Auschwitz II, which was the industrial (and larger) death factory facility, not the much more tame and palatable casual death factory… I am wrong!
Those are some real weird beads, is this AI?
Well damn, alright. I rescind my previous snark, that makes a lot of sense!
I know these videos always have watermarks, but holy shit is this one excessive. Wtf.
We’re slut shaming now? Fuck off with this…
TL;DR - Uhhhh… russia has been the #1 source of firmware jailbreaks and torrents for industrial software for 20+ years. Their government is so awful that their people had to figure out how to work around the world hating them.
Oh and capitalists are traitors. Burn the rich.
Yeah, I honestly doubt he’s going to lose. It would be nice to have faith in this country, but…
As generally used, “overhead” doesn’t address the topic with a degree of granularity that takes the difficulty of preparation into account. It simply means the operating expenses associated with the business - wages, facilities and utilities are by far the three largest aspects, raw materials, consumables and related equipment costs are (depending on the industry) anywhere from a minor line item to little more than a rounding error. This is true for essentially every industry you care to name (I actually can’t think of an exception. Maybe NFTs or some related crypto nonsense? Though even those famously have to factor in utilities).
TL;GTTP: The type of food you’re preparing matters comically less than where your restaurant is located and the size of your staff.
Sorry but… no, my point absolutely stands. I’m just pulling my data from HappyCow and TripAdvisor, but Jamaica has way more than thirty vegan restaurants. 141 that have enough of an internet presence that I can find them before this hangover forced me to stop looking. Happycow has an extremely convenient breakdown by area, too, which shows the regional concentration of veggie/vegan restaurants. And, if you do the math, ~90% of them are in high population density coastal towns with heavily tourism-dependent economies, which is what I’d expect to find (I didn’t control for the obvious potential sampling bias, but it’s a small enough country we can probably assume we’re working with a population here). “Specialty” restaurants, which category unfortunately vegan/veggie venues fall into in the western meme, are even more at risk of failing than the average due to the restricted market appeal, and so require a larger population (and economic base) to support them.
I feel like my comment has touched a nerve with people due to my own inelegance while stating my point. I’m not saying that eating morally has a fee associated with it, I’m well aware of how much cheaper it can be to eat a veggie-heavy or full vegan diet. I am saying that dining out has fees associated with it, and that the cost of dining out has very little to do with the price of the ingredients (even for perceived ‘luxury’ meals like in steakhouses or hotpot) and almost everything to do with the operational overhead of running a restaurant (wages, facilities, utilities). Vegetarian dishes at mixed meat/veggie locations are a ‘money maker’ for the restaurant, because those dishes can be priced similarly to more-expensive ones but cost less to produce. But even that expanded profit margin is always going to be a much smaller percentage than the base cost of the meal, which is defined by the aforesaid overhead.
I’m quite sorry that I didn’t make that clearer in my initial drunken 3am comment!
Overhead, really. The margins on restaurants are knife-edge thin already. Most of the cost of a meal goes to wages, rent, utilities and then the tiny sliver left over goes to ingredients and profit. Any savings from cooking all veg meals is thus completely absorbed by the losses from having such a smaller market, thus prices have to go up to make up the shortfall. It helps that most people are willing to shell out a little more to support their principles, though the cost is why you never see vegan restaurants in poor areas - people can’t afford the fee to eat morally.
capitalism: it sucks!
What the fuck.
He has been chastised for calling opposing counsel a “fucktard” in court, and was accused of performing the “mangina” in front of employees—a crude act in a which he lowered his underwear, “tucked his penis between his legs, and waddled around the office.”
Pro tip, if you’re rich enough to be able to afford psych meds, don’t stop taking them.
A lot of it comes from the complete lack of faith that the US police services can/will do anything, and how incredibly poor most of the country is. Someone stealing parts from your car, which is stupidly common here, means you can wind up homeless in a month, easily.
And there’s nothing you can really do to prevent it except beating the shit out of enough people that word gets out to not mess with your stuff (because padlocks are a joke). I don’t condone it, just a really high level summary of where it comes from.
(Also american exceptionalism and extreme self-reliance are a big factor. Fucked up cultural shit we have here…)
