Sorry about that, I just had done a quick check on Wikipedia which declared (and I quickly accepted):

joined the Prussian-led German Empire in 1871 while retaining its title of kingdom, and finally became a state of the Federal Republic of Germany in 1949.

I feel this isn't quite the same though. When a country has a complete change in politics/ruling of the nation, then it really isn't the same country anymore. (French Revolution ending in 1799 shouldn't be still considered the same country, even though the name is the same. England still allowed the royal family to have power over the people and politics until 1957 so wasn't a "full" democracy, Bavaria I became part of Germany in 1949, etc....) The US has for its entire time listed has always been an elected government that followed the constitution, meaning it's been the same country.

Forcing employees to rely on tips to get above slave wage is generally not a thing in Europe

It is in England (which while not in the EU, it is in Europe). And unlike the US, they will try to guilt you into a big auto tip.

their right mind

Those on the political right

It could, but it might also lead to something harmful for the deer at the same time. I'm not sure if the gene affecting the deer's eyesight is known, but it could be a pleiotropic gene (a gene that influences multiple traits at once).

If that's the case, and the other effect is negative and somehow spreads through the population, it could become a future issue for the deer. Think about humans—we lost the ability to produce our own vitamin C. Almost every other mammal can produce their own (except for hamsters). When this happened, it didn’t harm us right away, so it spread through the population. But over time, it led to issues that weren’t a problem before, like scurvy.

Same could happen to the deer.

Playing older games means you are not contributing to today's quarterly results.

It's the digital/video game version of forced obsolescence.

Comics don't have to be funny, they can be used to show a message/point of view. A great example I can think of is "Maus".

And if you don't like/get the message, that's fine. To each their own.

From the article: "In October, students at Assumption University in Massachusetts allegedly lured a 22-year-old man to campus, called him a predator and chased and attacked him when he tried to escape, according to a police report. After reviewing the man’s Tinder messages, officers said the man had thought he was meeting an 18-year-old student, not a 17-year-old, as the students had alleged."

Thats how. You lie.

Yeah, no one wants to buy a swasticar or a deploreon anymore.

Possibly the fact many customers don't want it. According to three Apple CarPlay site:

With digital car keys and the already seamless experience of Apple CarPlay, there are more ways than ever to take your iPhone on the road. With car keys, you can unlock and start your car with iPhone. And CarPlay gives you the ability to safely use what you love about your iPhone while you drive.

I don't have an iPhone, so from all the marketing blurbs, it's pretty much saying "Spend a ton of extra money for something you can never use." I'll pass on spending $1000+ on that useless"upgrade". And since Apple is notorious about locking iThings to Apple only hardware (or just not having full functionality when they do allow it), I doubt I'm alone in this thought.

It's "sudo yum".

So you went from a 10 year upgrade cycle to a 7 year upgrade cycle?

I remember seeing an article on these houses. The biggest issue is this house was built before the 1980's, so it was built before modern earthquake (?) proofing standards. This makes the house unlivable and technically condemned, and the Japanese government won't let anyone (including owner) from being able to live there until it's been modernized to the standards.

While this sounds easy, you need to get the supplies and crew out there (no easy road access), which is expensive, and possibly not a real option (again, remote area and trucks might not be able to reach it).

So you end up with a house no one can legally live in, in an area that can't be reached to repair/build anything. It's just a lose/lose situation and causes the value of the property to be very low.

Hey, when it's literally different, then it's different. This isn't both sides are the same.

This tired whataboutism... Really? Just stop.

It's the same answer as always, the iPhone/iPad was marketed and sold as a "do all" device ("IPhone, there's an app for that" and the iPads "What's a PC?"). Game consoles are sold as a limited functionality device. These aren't the same at all.

Musk bought the US presidency for over $250 million, that's why.

When it falls into false advertising in every market that the iPhone is sold, it is.

A bit of raw flour dusting on my cake.

While they did get released when they said, they didn't get released in the state that was stated/indicated though.
