Define support.
They’re not devoid of allies beyond the US and in general have vocal support of most of the western world.
But only 13 countries recognize them as a country, but not even the US is on that list of 13. Interestingly however, the Vatican does recognize them.
Which is why, they’re remain a nice political chess price for China.
Just because you opted in, doesn’t make their statement untrue.
The simplicity of use in the walled garden, caters to people who aren’t techy. It’s a huge reason for their success.
But just like “nontechy” people like my husband can use an android, “techy” people can opt into a system that caters to the opposite.
Us, never. Just like with China you can’t win a land war over here, and a home attack has a greater risk of uniting is against a common enemy.
Taiwan possibly. Though I don’t think so. Taiwan is much more useful as a political chess piece that China can beat their chests about. They can invoke the island and be offended about support for it whenever they need leverage right now.
Not to mention it isn’t just the US alone that needs Taiwan and movement there risks a global response.
Oh someone mentioned it under Washington, but cash n carry is gold too. It’s a restaurant supply store and is better for bulk imo than Costco because it’s just food and kitchen supplies. Easier to walk in and buy what you need then leave than Costco.
Also, no membership needed
Also sorry if I seemed like a dick. The poppycock thing sounded funny in my head but on reread came across condescending.
Oh poppy cock. Oregon has some pretty diverse grocery options most of them cheaper than Kroger and Albertsons.
For example, corvallis, has a winco, Walmart market, grocery outlet, and traders Joe’s, all of which I can easily spend less at than Safeway or Fred Meyer, which is the big Kroger brand in Oregon.
Then there’s also, university market and natural grocers, 15 minutes down 22 there’s an iga, locally owned chains designed to be close to certain housing, smaller, a little more expensive.
Then there’s the Asian (like HK) and Indian (like Desi) markets. There used to be a Mexican grocery they’re but it shut down. I’m certain you’ll have one in Portland though. These places have amazing specialty ingredients as well as some great deals on standard stuff.
Finally there’s a market of choice which is traditionally expensive, but occasionally has some seriously good deals.
Most museums rely on donations. While they likely could afford it there’s 0 reason to buy one if a patreon is willing to gift one
My husband had a nasty cold and the self scan he was using we later found out should have had an out of order sign on it. After missing the fact that it wasn’t dinging for every item because he couldn’t hear well, they pulled him and had him arrested. His total was off by $100 and he should’ve realized it, admittedly, but he just wanted to get home. We were able to get them to drop the charges because the self check out was malfunctioning but he’s still banned from Walmart.
I’m in Oregon. Straight down the i-5 from Portland, which is where I understand it to have started
I can say that all 4 of my dogs caught it.
They’re still alive, but my 13 year old has not and probably won’t return to full function. He’s got some pretty significant scarring on his lungs. We are in one of the affected states, and they caught it from the neighbors’ dogs who brought it home from the groomers.
It’s definitely in my area.
If you make a product and want to claim that it or its ingredients are organic, your final product probably needs to be certified.
That word probably exists in the same article you originally linked.
But many actually don’t do it which is why they don’t use the USDA certified
Do you know how many companies use just organic, and not “usda certified organic”
Most
It’s always funny when people make bad jokes, and insist it’s everyone else who has a shitty sense of humor.
Jokes are funny
The company I work for now has very much this attitude for the last 50 years.
As a result they have 3 locations, no sops, and no accountability.
Over the last 6 months is been my job to put us back in compliance with local and federal reporting requirements and develop SOPs. The feedback from the bottom up is that it’s wonderful to have consistency, different bosses giving the same answers to questions, auditors being able to complete audits in expected and appropriate times, and in compliance with reporting regulations.
Can companies go overboard and employ people like me who do busy unnecessary work? Absolutely. But it is definitely appropriate to have a couple of administrators.
No company holds themselves back from viable improvement because of a timeline thrown out at the beginning. What a weird take.
What is more likely “nope wecan’t make a change yet, this better product is out on every other peice of tech we and our competitors used, but someone said 10 years 2 years ago so we’re gonna wait another 6 to begin development”
Or
“This product is so serviceable enough for charging a phone and as long as we keep it we can continue to make significant money off of proprietary connectors”
They upgraded the iPad because the lightening was no longer a viable charging cable, the tech couldn’t keep up. And the EU has been threatening to establish a standard since the 30pin was in service, because it locked out competition back then. It became a serious issue to deal with after dongles became standard.
Edit: Oh God it’s you. 4 days later and another hot shit take. Apparently I need to block you to improve my lemmy experience.
Honestly, it’s worth skipping season 7 if you do make it that far. The leviathan are one of the worst television plots in history imo. That said it gets pretty decent again for a few seasons.
Cross stitching.
I must have $700 worth of floss a 200$ custom stand and then accessories, I just gave away 82 skeins of off brand that advertised dmc dye standards, but WEREN’T. Don’t buy floss from Amazon kids, it’s worth it to do a custom order from joanns or Michael’s mid project.
It started with wanting to do a fun little Christmas ornament project with the Littles and now I have 7 mid finished projects including a massive LOTR project I’ve restated 3 times, that has 1 of 12 8×11 pages done on this beast l nearly 3’x2’ Aida cloth.
Wasn’t he in Belarus recently, threatening to take a large contingent of the Wagner group to “sightsee” in Poland?
Last I looked he was in financial ruin which is why he had to sell the gun on ebay. He filed multiple failed lawsuits that were dismissed. His wife divorced him. Accused of intellectual property theft.
He does seem to have an “uncanny” ability to avoid criminal liability though.
