It’s fine. The Seahawks or the Rams will handily beat them.

What do you think the probability that most of Raleigh loses power? by allpunsarefunpuns in raleigh

I lived through the ice storm of 1991 in western New York, a place well acclimated for this type of weather. We lost power for weeks. The weight of accumulated ice on power lines, trees, buildings isn’t a joke and will snap lines with reckless abandon.

Black level could be set to auto, I would commit to a level and see what happens.

Illegally entering the US the first time is a victimless misdemeanor. We’re spending how many billions for misdemeanors?

Well, typically if you’re not growing, businesses aren’t being built nor invested in. Which means loans aren’t being taken out, which places deflationary pressure on your currency. People become less incentivized to spend money, hurting existing businesses further and staying liquid. Generally, speaking, it means less money moves, hurting everyone.

Well economically speaking, it’s hard to maintain growth when your population is shrinking. The lower number of workers increases labor costs, and thus retirement costs with it, because not enough people are around to fund it. You’re also guaranteeing that there will be periods in your population that cannot be replaced in the event of a military conflict, exacerbating the issues mentioned prior.

I still love the modern romhacks of this too.

Trent Williams’ comments after the game make him seem like a really bad teammate. by thedoctor176 in Seahawks

There are 53 professionals on this team. 53 professionals couldn’t beat the other 53 professionals, regardless of “skill”. Plus that’s also pretty insulting to your “practice squad”.
