Were they real or just shit novelty, scams, or rebadges and sister brands of those multi brand companies like BBK?

Typically PoA is instated before someone has a mental decline.

But at 90, that's probably already begun.

There are places in the world with a standard practice of forever plots.

For example, I don't think it's common in NZ for plots to be a time period before disinterment.

Eh, lots of companies use gmail it's just masked by being their own domain and part of g suite.

Calling it verified is the only problem for a paid service. Name it Premium, +, anything else that implies a value added experience. But pay for verification is stupid.

Any hyper focused group, especially one that has an excluded "other", will form a totem idea of that other and unreasonably become extremely against that totem. So hate spirals out of control. This occurs on either ends of the political spectrum. It can happen with sports teams vs their rivals.

CGP Grey made a video a number of years ago explaining such things better. https://youtu.be/rE3j_RHkqJc.

Divination with maths is statistics.

Cynicism: also primes for the need to bring work home and be available off the clock.

I read this a few weeks ago about it.

It's an abundant resource curse; land is the resource that is wasted.

Nothing will top the r/nostupidquestions favourite of [Is Stephen pronounced like Stephen?](https://www.reddit.com/r/NoStupidQuestions/comments/3bmo28/is_stephen_pronounced_the_same_as_stephen/]

And yet it's still ripped and on torrent sites. Not sure how they do it.

It's still Google's mail server. The mail client is irrelevant.

If this is music from Cosmos, then look up Vangelis.

Human languages: the words are made up and the rules don't matter.

Especially true for English.

Ten years ago sure, the days I'd suggest matrix instead.

The ~ has an error of +/- 50 percentage points.

Hogget for in between.

A sheep in its first year is a lamb and its meat is also lamb. The meat from sheep in their second year is hogget. Older sheep meat is mutton.

Oh.., maybe not.

Generally, "hogget" and "sheep meat" are not used by consumers outside Norway, New Zealand, South Africa, Scotland, and Australia.

Bear in mind he's doing it with a very specific performance characteristic in mind, and not as a standard EV conversion.

Perhaps more accurate would be the Hummer conversion by Jerry Rig Everything and iirc EV Doctor channels.

But in general, same stuff involved.

I imagine that theoretical speed could only be used for drone planes.

Also, often can right click -> loop.

Presumably to disable that hot linking from other websites/apps. Especially if they use scrapers.

But yeah, bad ux.

There already exists lemmynsfw.com for a bunch of the obvious.

They can't fix the bug because it'll affect the outcome of any experiments.

Is it better than a helicopter?

That is, probably limited to comfort, price, operating costs, and fuel efficiency.

Heh, I joined a company that used 1Password. Loved it. I set up a personal account to replace my use of browser built in password management.

The company got acquired and the acquirer replaced it with their corporate solution, LastPass. Then the LP breach happened and they switched to Keeper. Still prefer 1Password.

Is that a picture of a straw man?

Nah it's still their concern too. They're mostly just on the beneficial side of it.

They might try make them harder to skip.

tbh I don't care.

But there's no mention of any sort of time limits on Auckland Council's website about their cemeteries. Only one is an exclusive right prior to burial over use of the plot of 60 years which is intended to allow people to reserve a plot near family members.

But it appears correct to assume a burial has no specific term length and doesn't expire. Disinterment after even 100 years not being a standard procedure. That said, the country is only about 200 years old.

An unlikely pairing, but one that matches my own tastes.

In what way?
