To be fair, it is both a religious and ethnic term. There are a lot of Jewish people that do not practice Judaism. And they follow a matrilineal lineage, regardless of their religious beliefs.

So it is actually a legitimate defense, even though we know it’s a crock of shit to try and cover being caught with all of his lies. Especially because he’s not using the actual ethnic vs religion distinction, but instead trying to claim a play on words.

We’ve got a cat like that. Anything dairy.

Everything gets washed on permanent press as well. Nearly everything you buy is synthetic fibers or polyester blends now anyway.

So 90% of the self-proclaimed “power users”.

Probably the wording in the article that seems to say exactly that?

The Singapore Government’s Factually website states that all goods brought into Singapore are subject to goods and services tax, currently pegged at 9 per cent. However, travellers are granted GST import relief based on the duration of their trip.

Those who have been overseas for 48 hours or more are entitled to GST relief of up to $500. For trips under 48 hours, the value is capped at $100. The GST rate is currently pegged at 9 per cent.

These amounts apply to the total value of goods bought overseas, excluding liquor and tobacco. Any value above the relief limit is taxable, and travellers are required to declare it upon or prior to arrival.

Singapore work permit, employment pass, student pass, dependent pass or long-term pass holders, as well as crew, are not entitled to GST import relief.

The term goods isn’t specified, but could easily be interpreted to mean absolutely anything they want potentially.

Conditions are now so bad, the methods used are not even allowed in war.

We’ve allowed the government to do way more to our citizens that the international community, including us, has agreed shouldn’t be allowed.

Tear Gas is a banned chemical weapon. There is a specific carve out in the ban allowing for domestic use. And that’s not the only one.

They’re the same thing. A small oven heats up faster than a big oven. It’s only faster because it’s 1/10th the size.

Seems like he’s worried that if the military isn’t getting paid for an extended period, that they might directly turn on him. Probably an accurate assumption.

The way to make a big dent in that is to tax unused housing, with peogressivwly increasing amounts as they continue unoccupied. And limit or outright deny ownership by companies and investment firms.

We have more than enough housing for everyone, but a large portion of it sits unused. In many cases only because no one will/can pay what some of these companies are demanding monthly for them.

They’re not talking third-party as in political party. Third-party just references an outside individual or group they don’t directly control. The third-party auditor won’t be an independent third-party. It will 100% be a GOP-aligned group.

Just need another adapter.

That scale should be very steep. I’ve always advocated for a limit around 3 independent homes. That gives you a primary, a vacation home and a potential rental. Beyond that, you would need to operate as a business.

And even that would be limited to something like 5, across all related businesses, no loophole by creating a ton of shell companies under a parent company to operate them. You want to be a larger scale landlord? You’re doing that with higher density apartments, not single family homes. Single family homes should be owned by families. Not hedge funds.

Likewise, empty residences should be taxed higher as well. None of this bullshit where there are a bunch of empty places operating as capital holdings for big business. Sometimes even intentionally creating housing scarcity in large cities to jack up rental prices across the board. Your rental isn’t going at the price you want? You’re priced too high, lower the price until they do. If that rental is fit for habitation, and unfilled after say a year on the market, then it gets taxed at an extremely high rate.

Disincentivize businesses sitting on housing as a means of cash storage with no intention of it being used.

The single biggest piece of evidence that Apollo 11 landed on the moon is really simple. The Soviet Union accepted it.

There is a zero percent chance they would be in on that conspiracy. They had every reason in the world to expose that as a lie. But they didn’t, because it happened.

That’s what happens when servers either shut down or instance admins end up being insufferable to the point that entire communities choosing to abandon the instance.

Not sure what would be an alternative solution given how federation works.

You mean the Honda Del Sol? Which may or may not be a CR-X variant, Civic variant, or its own thing depending on year and region.

I’ve never heard it referred to just as a Soul.

Pepsi also never left Russia after they invaded Ukraine. In fact they’ve increased their business in the country to fill the gap left by companies like Coca-Cola pulling back.

Ah, you made the dog whistle connection. That wasn’t supposed to happen, you weren’t supposed to notice that, it was only for them.

Church towers being used for cell sites are extremely common. Usually they’re designed to blend on a bit more though.

A lot cheaper than building a separate tower, and the church usually gets a reliable lease payment for providing the space.

Pretty sure most of them by now.

I know Summit, Connect, and Voyager all do. Summit is my primary app.

Google Maps reports are just for “police”, which is a generic term that ICE would be either way.
