Top Russian economist dies after falling out of window
  • but liquidating in the "regular" way would have the same effect wouldn't it?

  • How Gina Rinehart and her backers pressured the NGA to remove her portrait
  • I've seen this portrait so many times by now, and still not sure who she is. If she had just shrugged over it, I may never have seen it. It's the new Barbra Streisand effect on steroids

  • Monsanto agrees to $160 million settlement with Seattle over pollution in the Duwamish River
  • So... they simply settled on a pricetag for breaking the law

  • My Uncle Donald Trump Told Me Disabled Americans Like My Son ‘Should Just Die’
  • Maybe I shouldn’t have been surprised to hear Donald say that. It wasn’t far off from what he’d said that day in the Oval Office after our meeting with the advocates. Only that time, it was other people’s children who should die. This time, it was my son.

    What did he expect? At least he sticks to his terrible standards even when it's (distant) family

  • Top Russian economist dies after falling out of window
  • They must get on with it now.. find some other way of accidentally dying. If this proves one thing it is either the total lack of imagination in Russia, or the total lack of education on the risks of heights

  • US Small Business Owners - What streaming platform do you use for music in your business?
  • The streaming platform does not matter. You can use anything you want. Its the actual act of playing music that often requires a licence depending on where you are. I live in a scandinavian country and have to pay a fee depending on the store size. 100 square meters would cost $60

    (Interestingly i subconsciously converted to $... if you've worked retail in a tourist destination you must have heard 'how much is this in dollars?' but not really the same question for any other currency

  • Chicken wings advertised as 'boneless' can have bones, Ohio Supreme Court decides
  • Ah! I didn't get that far. I must have gotten lost in the ads or missed the 'read more' and thought that the article was finished

  • [Kind of weekly thread] Men over 30, how is your week going?
  • I'm down with what i assume is covid. Its been a tough few days but seems to be getting better. Hope that i can be ok for work sunday. took a day off today though.

  • Chicken wings advertised as 'boneless' can have bones, Ohio Supreme Court decides
  • What is the difference between chicken nuggets and boneless wings? The article mentions that boneless wings are 'of course' nuggets of breast meat.

    I wonder if they'd have agreed that nuggets can have bones too?

  • Chinese students arrested over drone footage of U.S. aircraft carrier
  • I rember being allowed on to Theodore Roosevelt as a teen in the early 90s when they had a stop close to one of the islands in Greece. Its a huge ship!

  • Cheetham Australia
  • I believe so yes!

  • Thousands of cars waiting to be exported from Yantai port China

    The Charlotte Dujardin horse-whipping scandal puts dressage’s Olympic future at risk
  • Ah my bad. I assumed it was that case. In pentathlon they get assigned a horse that they don't know and need to perform more or less with a stranger. There was a case of an athlete whipping that horse like crazy last Olympic because it wouldn't do what she wanted

  • The Charlotte Dujardin horse-whipping scandal puts dressage’s Olympic future at risk
  • I thought they removed the part with the horses since the pentathlon incident during the last olympics

    What's the cutest animal that you'd be terrified to get close to?
  • I don't think that OP meant 'close to' the same way you do

  • [Opinion] Israeli Soldiers Flaunt War Crimes on Social Media. Why Aren’t They Held Accountable?
  • Of course its a choice but not voting shows your choice of not being interested. Voting blank shows your engagement but your unwillingness to choose between the options given.

    Basically and oversimplified.
    no vote = i am ok with whoever wins.
    Blank vote = i am not ok with any of the choices

  • Hardware issue

    Today, i turned on my Mint pc and it wouldn't let me type in a passpowrd. Even the mouse was not reacting.

    So i rebooted, got a massive text wall that mentioned something about not syncing

    When i rebooted again, it wouldn't start up only a few rotations with the fans and then it restarts and repeats this loop

    I assume that this is a hardware issue but what should i be looking into and how do i make the recovery as smooth as possible?

    Elongated plots in Hungary

    I was randomly browsing Google Earth and had drifted into Hungary when I noticed that many plots there, are elongated. They have a short front towards a road, where a house or structure usually is located, but then extend a pretty long way behind that!

    Rimini - Italy

    I only noticed today, due to the Tour de France finishing there, but Rimini has some huge beaches! Also they seem to have constructed some sort of wave breaker, to give calmer waters for visitors (?). It does look amazin from a distance

    Slightly furhter north, still in Rimini, but on the other side of "Porto di Rimini" the beaches get even larger!

    what is the worst case scenario that can happen at the presidential debate?

    Waiting for the presidential debate feels like waiting for a train to crash. But how bad can it be?

    What are your guesses at what will happen? I am curious to compare the answers to what actually happens tonight
