For countries that issue their own currency, such as the USA, taxes don’t really pay for governments’s spending, as the governments control the issue of money. Governments create money when they spend and taxes cancel money out of existence (and force the currency into use).
All this to say, not paying taxes will never stop the US government from spending money. However, it could have strong symbolic power!
Isn’t just a case of being scared of what you don’t know?
Counterpoint: pistachios. Just the shell without the pistachio nut would be a lot less interesting.
AAA and Link80 are very much not “the most ska”, they are very hardcore leanleaning ska, which is really a few steps too farfar from The Specials or Toots and the Maytals to be a good introduction to ska.
The article you mention states:
The strongest interpretation of the linguistic relativity hypothesis, also known as the Sapir–Whorf hypothesis or “Whorfianism”, posits that a language’s vocabulary (among other features) shapes or limits its speakers’ view of the world. This interpretation is widely criticized by
I’d add you don’t think in any language. You express yourself in a language.
The BUS, the barely united states.
It’s pretty clear to me this was intentional.
Yeah, that much is obvious.
And deprive everyone else of a choice tweet like this? Certainly not.
It’s really about balance and what you hope you to get out of it (easier to set up again next time? less fragile setup? learning?).
A mitre saw is more dangerous than a handsaw and requires you to learn to use it properly and safely. It also enables you to do more and faster. It’s a tradeoff :)
Thank you for saying this. Revenge is not rehabilitation or even reparation towards society.
Prison already punishes people by removing one of the most fundamental freedoms: movement.
I think it’s just meant as a way to reverse the usual assumption that it’s a desirable state, it puts it in terms that imply you have too much and it’s not good for you.
It makes zero sense to say we had “all the solar, wind and renewable energy we have now”. Electricity wasn’t discovered until 500 years ago and made useful much more recently, in the early 1800s.
Sure we had windmills and watermills, but surely anyone can see that harnessing the power of the wind or water for a dedicated task is a very different proposition to generating energy that can be directed to nearly anything.
Renewables can’t replace fossil fuels everywhere they are used, but they can directly in an awful lot of cases and more cases can be adapted to use electricity rather than fossil fuel (trains going from diesel to electric, etc.)
So more to the point, what are you on about?
Amusingly, Ubuntu Cola is pretty good.
Lots of smaller, independent brands make nice cola, like Fritz-Kola in Germany or Breizh Cola in France. Don’t expect to find them at your local hole in the wall though.
Shit, Kodi isn’t mentioned once in the article. That’s a sign of the times.
I’m assuming you’re 14, so I’ll explain in simple terms: the game is a success, the game is French, the president of France is celebrating that the game of the year is French. In the process, he is trying to make himself look good.
And pro police violence. Repeatedly.
Sure, you have walking simulators and Bomberman. There you go.
I agree with you on numbersnumbers, but someone needs to build these things “for the nerds, by the nerds” before they can become adopted more broadly. It may take years, it may not happen, but before anything else you need a bunch of highly motivated folks and must recognise and nurture that.
The alternative is the big tech approach of binding until it’s mostly there, then dropping it on tonnes of people at once (or startups and growth hacking).
