Ok so go through all of that and ask yourself: “are these reasons serious in light of our own behavior”

I mean of course our good friend and ally, Saudi Arabia. Where would you rather be gay? Jeddah or Moscow?

I mean of course our 60 year alliance w/ Turkey. Who has occupied half of Cyprus for 40 years.

Olympics? Talk about hypocrisy! I remember when there some cancer boy beating all the dopped up Europeans on the Tour. But he wasn’t on drugs, the Europeans were jealous.

Magnistky. What about him? However, in the land of the free, can I please be allowed to see the “The Magnitsky Act – Behind the Scenes,“? Or give me a good argument why I should consider Nekrasov a Putin agent.

Illiberal government? Thats a joke. Do you know the friends we keep?

Poisoning journalists? Do you know what J. Assange’s original sin was?

Ukraine? How many countries are we illegally in right now? (Obama boasted bombing 11)

komprobat? Isn’t that what J. Edgar Hoover collected?

Look, you don’t have to like the Ruskies. Lord knows they’re annoying. But don’t be a hypocrite. It’s unbecoming.

And how well is this legally distinct philanthropic institution doing now that Hillary lost?

you saved his life.

How were you supposed to know a tiered guy was at death’s door?

You got lucky, but in the end you did well.

True, no one of consequence is offended by belittling fly over Americans.

The sealing is annoying, cause the courts are doing that.

But dragging discovery or not doing it honestly... that’s what Uber is doing right now (judge is peeved about it too)

1) they don’t have to re-tool getting more profit from the production line.

2) the tyre was probably just barely not good enough for RV use - but a lot cheaper to manufacture.

Mix obvious profit with an FU attitude in management, and it goes to market.

?? The OP simply argued theres a good-vs-evil in Christianity and therefore it’s not a recent political creation.

He hardly used language that excludes non biblical sources

Jesus associates with “bad” people is a gross simplification. Rejects is a better term.

Jesus teaches two points. One that “bad” people are bad because they are rejects.

Two. You must repent. He never tells an adulterer, tax collector or prostitute “live and let live”. He orders them to sin no more.

The ones thrashed in hell (and he’s graphic here) are the ones who don’t repent on time.

Well the temptations of Christ for one.

The various demons Christ casts away.

The Passion has references to the Evil Spirit entering Judas.

The Nicean Creed mentions the harrowing of hell (can’t get more God vs. Devil than first asserting Christ is God. Then he dies and goes to Hell for our salvation. Then he arises from the dead to join the Father).

And that’s sticking to material almost 100% of Christianity agrees on. If I’d limited myself to the Apostolic churches (Orthodox/Catholic) I could add from their rich history (they don’t agree w/ sola scritura)

But it existed! And it was hardly the only good vs evil story line.

Furthermore, even if St. Augustine claims that the Manichaeans are wrong for saying that evil is a fundamentally existing entity, he doesn’t claim evil doesn’t exist! Quite the contrary, he asks how can an omniscient, omnipotent and benevolent God create evil?

Some claimed that there was no evil.

St. Augustine resolved that evil exists in the absence of good. It feeds off good. But it exists.

So a good vs. evil dynamic still exists

It has nothing to do with dems vs gop. The group of people in charge of anything jealously guard their turf.

The Dems are all for state rights now, particularly in California. Some have even become secessionists!

Trump and friends now control the WH and want to use that to drive their agenda.

The truest rare politician is the one, from principle, goes against his advantage.

They’ll certainly have enough time to decide which proc to kill!

Donald rumsfeld’s demographic live in the beltway.

It’s no surprise to me that the pols I respect, R. Pauls, R. Wyden, and the like come from more rural states (Texas, Kentucky, Oregon) .

The cities are the problem, I fear

Ten years ago I read that it was a net loss everywhere except Brazil (tons of sun plus water -> sugar cane). Subsidies makes it work.

I don’t know if that’s still true and as to Brazil, that land could be used for something else.

You can do the same by buying stocks and not paying taxes on earnings (including dividend) until you sell.

Go to a bank and they’ll give you significantly more money than 1000 euros. At a certain point you’ll be expected to explain what you need the money for (anti-laundry efforts).

For safety reasons, you might not want to carry around cash. So banks provide cash-like instruments that are safer to walk around with.

Also, often “cash only” includes debit cards. In which case you debit card limit is probably an order of magnitude higher than your daily withdrawal limit.

Finally, do what I’d do as a poor grad student unwilling to pay bank fees: start withdrawing a week in advance ;)

Why cesium? Why not tritium? Or any other of the thousands of radioactive isotopes?

Heck, the decay of an excited electron is unpredictable by heisenburg’ Uncertainty principle (delta(E) delta(t) > planks constant) which means any excited state, including an excited e-h pair can be made into an RNG

Your comparing apple displacing a lumber company and a 10 year old startup in a rapidly changing field to companies that are over 100 years old in a field where a mistake isn’t an OTA fix away, but a recall costing hundreds of millions.
