This feels like the murder equivalent of using porn, but considering porn makers beneath you.
When patients are denied necessary care, they suffer. I would argue that this was not an act of revenge, because that would have been much more gruesome.
He basically abandoned a baby. Frankenstein is the real monster
Holy fuck that seems like a tedious, difficult, messy job. I’ve also never heard of it, and I feel like the homeowners I know would have bitched about it to me before if they had to do it. I looked it up, and there’s all sorts of scenarios in which they might not have to do that (anode rods and tankless water heaters both seem pretty cool and there are services for it), but I might just send out a couple of texts. Water heaters are nothing to fuck with.
There’s a proposed law for nyc to require licenses for them, but I think that was already in motion
Tbf, that’s the largest pool of potential suspects, so it makes sense that they’d want to call police attention in that direction regardless of the actual motive. I do think it’s genuine, but it’s a smart move either way
It would only make sense for him to turn himself in while accompanied by his lawyer after releasing a statement that he will be doing so. Even so, eventually he’s going to be alone in police custody and I’d be surprised if he survives that for long.
Birds? Dang, that one I haven’t heard yet
It’s insane to me, how many people think that “bugs” aren’t animals. Sponges or barnacles, I can understand, but everyone knows that mosquitoes feed off of blood and spiders lay eggs, so how is it even a question?
Absolutely all good on my end. Yeah, I very much react differently to the idea of saying “found the trans woman,” but I think that’s just because it seems like it could reasonably be taken as a threat or, even if not intended as one, still endanger the recipient. But yeah, that’s a great example of something where shame/judgment is uninvolved and it’s still not a good thing to say at all.
Germany is incredibly vegan friendly, to the degree that I haven’t been to a grocery store without at least tofu, various milk options, vegan yogurt and cream cheese, along with a bunch of traditionally vegan spreads (I currently have “spicy chickpea, tomato and bell pepper” and “pea and edamame”), no matter how rural the town is. There’s also the fact that good bread is a staple food here, so whole grains are really accessible. I don’t think the vegan friendliness applies to Bavaria, and I know it didn’t in Baden-Württemberg about 15 years ago (I had trouble then as a vegetarian in a student city, but I was also a lot less resourceful then). It definitely does not apply to Switzerland or rural Austria.
The hummus you find in vegan restaurants tends to be made with vinegar instead of lemon juice (but that’s not the case if you go to a Mediterranean or Middle Eastern restaurant or make it yourself) and slow cookers for dry beans cost a lot more money than they do in the US. Those are literally my only vegan-related complaints though.
Edit: also you can buy six Maultaschen (~600 kcal worth) for around 2€ basically everywhere. They can be eaten raw, sautéed, or in broth and they’re delicious and honestly pretty good for you.
Well of course they’re poor, they put a higher value on the happiness of their population than on their capital generation. The country can only sustainably support so many people, so they can’t let a large number of people immigrate unless they want to sacrifice their wildlife or impose reproduction limits on residents (directly or through reduced support for families), both of which would be fucked up.
I didn’t realize they had zero billionaires though, now I’m even more impressed by them!
