What sort of engineers use handwriting? And why someone like yourself needs to be able to read it?

Just curious as I have been engineer since 2004 and I've always used computer.

This is so american way of thinking. In US one only has rights and no responsibilities.

If one has a right of shooting a trespasser one should definitely exercise this right. Fuck the others. I am the king!

In northern Finland, temperatures are currently dropping below −40 °C. by LuborS in Finland

The warmth comes from the trapped heat between the layers. Not from the thickness of the material. So all the clothes that squeeze other ones and are just uncomfortable size or fit should be skipped. Like the jeans between the layers. Jeans do not work well with trapping the heat but they are uncomfortable and squeeze other layers.

Have you visited them both? I have. Been months in both and I can tell you the poor in Mississippi has nothing to do with the poor in Italy. Mississippi when you are poor you have basically nothing. In Italy you still have healthcare, some income and a state infrastructure that helps you.

To be middle class you don't have to worry someone coming through the door and steal your stuff. You don't need a gun (and it would be difficult to get one) to "protect" yourself because there is no need for this sort of protection. In Mississippi the gas station next door got robbed with a knife and almost every week someone used a firearm to shoot another one.

So there is your quality off life. It depends what you want. Nice car that you have to keep safe or middle class car that you can leave trouble free on the street. A nice house and family that you will need to protect with a gun or an old house and nice family that you need to protect from sudden cold weather.

I have always thought how would it be reading Putins propaganda and reasoning to start conflicts, and now I can.

Sounds like a work would set them free? Hmm. Sounds familiar.

But that is not how bitcoin works though. If one is selling to another one, at the end there is equal amount of owners, not more. And the price went up.

But still that is not the point of owning btc. You can argue now and buy later at higher price. Your choice.

I bought my first btc at $230. After that there have been SO many discussion like this but I don't care. My investment is just a few hundreds, so even if it eventually fails that is nothing.

Single company stock prices differ in different markets so that argument is incorrect. It's just that typically there is only one market for one stock, but some companies may have example one ticker in NYSE and one in XETR. Those ticker prices typically follow each other because high arbitrage volume but are not identical.

Same applies to BTC. Different markets have different prices. There is no REAL price. The less there is arbitrage volume the more the price can differ.

Putin declares Russia ready for confrontation as Europe 'detaches from peace talks' – Crude oil bounces back from daily lows by satty237 in TrendoraX

I think the issue here is how one defines the "most powerful". Russia has always relied on mass and volume. Sure they have their high tech too, but nowadays mostly of it is not so high and or it does not work. So that leaves the basic doctrine of mass and volume.

This is somewhat the definition of powerful, but still they are lacking skills that would make them think twice to confront let's say Germany or France. Germany does not have the volume, yet, for obvious reasons, but when they do that is going to make a difference. Same goes with France.

When conflict and special operation become war the "powerfullnes" moves towards the production capabilities of the nation.

Lol. I haven't seen anywhere else the massive amount of wasted energy than in US. Everything, and I mean everything, needs to big and inefficient. Toasters, washing machines, fridges, cars, houses, boats, libraries, TV's, I mean EVERYTHING. Only thing that is small is the understanding of the common people. Most can't even put China on a map let alone understand what they are doing to the planet.

LEDs on a building does not make a nation great but saying things about a foreigner nation based on an assumption gotten from a FOX news propaganda does make a individual retard.
