Because brianbury is legal in the US. You just have to call it a campaign donation and then you can do whatever you want.

The map is just wrong. How did they gather this data, it just what the map maker has decided is the case rather than objective reality.

If you come in my house and you're wearing shoes you're gonna get told to take them off. I don't want dirt on my carpet.

The the international Olympics committee is an absolute joke. They claim they don't want to be political and that's why Israel is allowed to compete and expect not to get backlash.

They have to be taking bribes, that's the only reason they would be making these otherwise insane decisions.

Nuclear power plants circulate their water they don't just dump it into the river so droughts don't have an effect on them.

Honestly I think that any community that objects to wind farms or solar panels just on irrational bases like that should get an oil derek built in the centre of town, even if it's just for show. Just to make the point.

A lot of it is NIMBYism, it's not that they don't want wind farms it's that they don't want wind farms here. Because they think that if you don't build a wind farm in their community you'll also not build a cold burning power station in their community. Often this is correct because what is a good location for wind farm is a bad location for a power station.

Well they're not zombies, since they actively hate the concept of brains.

I don't see how they could kill birds anymore than trees do. Birds have pretty good eyesight in many cases better than humans I can't reasonably see why wind turbines would be any more of a threat than any other structure natural or organic.

When I bought my house one of the things that I was warned about was that they were going to make the nearby wind farm larger. Some of the locals got up in arms about them building a new wind farm until they pointed out that they are just enlarging the current wind farm.

None of the residents could tell me where the current wind farm was, because you literally cannot see it, it's behind a hill. If they hadn't told anyone they were enlarging it I don't think anyone would have noticed. Even if you go around the hill so you can actually see it, it just blends into the background. I do wonder why they don't just paint them blue though.

It's a bad store more than a bad launcher (although it's also a bad launcher that lacks basic features)

Well going for a cop isn't going to help them is it? If the cops and ICE end up shooting each other I think most people will consider that to be a fairly acceptable outcome.

Honestly you will. You probably never compared the two side by side.

It's incredibly apparent, you think it's smooth but then when you go over to 120 Hz and then go back the difference is very apparent.

 

When you reveal a spoiler the black rectangles go away and it then renders the text in white, but on a white background (light coloured theme) The text renders is exactly the same colour as the background and so you can not see it unless you highlight the post, this renders the background of the post as light grey and there is just about enough contrast difference to now read the text.

When spoiler text is revealed it should render in the same colour as normal text. I'm not sure why it's white.

See images below for demonstration.

spoiler text is hidden

spoiler text has been revealed but is invisible

text post is highlighted and now you can see the spoiler text rendered in white
