Sanctions don’t mean you cant trade. It just means you can’t use the sanctioning body’s infrastructure to do so. Just because you don’t agree with the trade doesn’t mean it is illegal or even illicit. Or do you think the US should have full control over global trade?

Is it smuggling when Cuban cigars are sold in the EU or Canada? Would the Saudi government call it smuggling when Irish Whiskey is shipped to Nigeria? Countries have no control over what other countries can trade with each other, especially if both countries have already been effectively cuttoff from saod country’s financial institutions

Doesn’t change the fact that mutual trade between neighboring countries is the opposite of smuggling.

Everything is PDF flow for printing. Typically i just export the word doc out as a PDF and tell the customer that we will print it as is unless they want to pay a $20 set up fee

I work at a print shop and o have had multiple customers ask if i can orint a brochure for them, and they then send me a word document. It makes me wish they just sent a dog shit canva file instead

Yeah, every recipe i find online has a “jump to recipe” button that takes you past all the background and information straight to the ingredients and directions.

It’s at dock so it is very much still recoverable, although repairs are likely to be expensive. Only three of the US ships that were damaged/sunk at Pearl Harbor were damaged beyind repair. Idk how long this will be out of commission or if the Russians have the necessary parts to repair it, but it is technically salvageable

My dad an en excellent 24" Panasonic he got a few years agter he died. We moved it across the Midwest 6 times from 95-2010 until we finally replaced it with a 42" led after moving to Kansas City. So my brother and i got to take it downstairs and play Halo Reach and Black Ops on it. They might have been heavy and a bitch to move, but they were awesome TV’s that could take a beating.

Intel has had longer than that to get their Ohio ppant up and running and they have made fuck all progress.

Gibraltar is about the same latitude as the Virgina/North Carolina state line. So southern Europe essentially ends halfway down the US Eastern seaboard

I like to point out that New York to LA os essentially the same distance as Moscow to Lisbon, while Seattle to Miami os about the same as London to Baghdad. That’s why St. Louis was the furthest west MLB team until the 50’s. The logistics for US sports are insane

Which way? Because it gets incredibly hot in the Canadian prairie. There is no body of water to regulate temperature so the summers can get serious heat waves while the winter is absolutely frigid. Granted, Edmonton is still considerably further south than Stockholm.

Every factory i have ever worked at had automated systems that broke and management decided it would just be cheaper to hire someone to perform the task rather than properly fix and then maintain their automated systems.

And Jake sure does love Bajoran women. And Riker and Paris chased every bit of alien tail they could find until settling down with a half human. And Dax seems to have mostly gotten bored with dating Trills after a few hosts and was interested in mating with other species.

The point is that there are a TON of interspecies relationships throughout all of Star Trek.

Not sure if you have noticed, but your government has already started the armed combat against the people

I saw once that the reason Kristen Stewart was so hated in the Twilight movies is because all the young women who grew up reading the books imagined themselves as Bella. They were never going to like whichever actress was cast into the role since they would no longer be able to project their own likeness onto the protagonist.

I’m looking forward to when a Nigerian prince emails me to let me know about the delicious taste of Wolf cola

Hey, you can be paying attention and hateful of the rich fucers and corporations that are ruining society no problem

Ohio passed a law this year banning state funds to any municipality that implemented ranked choise voting. Only one or two representatives voted against it. The only bi-partisan bill they passed thos year

You were up late last night because your kid was sick, but you still had to be up at 5:30 to take your other kid to day care before driving an hour to work. You get to the office and it looks like your computer had an update last night and so you need to verify your login credentials. You’ve been on about 4 hours of sleep a night for the past week and just want to get on with your day.

People are overworked and exhausted, so stuff like that is bound to work on someone

They are going to pivot all that processing to the next snale oil scheme. Do you think its a coincidence that rhe AI hype came immediately after crypto crashed?
