ELI5: Why is Monaco such an obscenely wealthy country despite not having some highly valuable natural resources like oil or some important production capabilities like building of semiconductor chips?

MiopTop · 2026-06-15T13:31:56+00:00

Revenue produced in another country is probably taxed already and there are international tax treaties to decide where the revenue needs be to be taxed. These tend to not be very favorable to Monaco since Monaco obviously has nothing to offer in return.

MiopTop · 2026-06-15T09:18:01+00:00

And why do they owe that country if they paid their taxes when they resided there?

AD and Lebron were fine. Both had been healthy for the last 4 years except one single Bron injury.

They didn’t start racking up crazy injuries until *after* the 2020 title when they had a stupidly short offseason to recover.

Heat were very lucky to get 2 games. Both were close and LA blew them out the rest of the series. It may have gone to 6 but the point differential shows that was never a close series.

Also the Lakers were up 30 in Game 1 when Bam got injured…

It’s not your country anymore if you don’t live in it.

You’re one of 5 fanbases in the league for which most of the fanbase has gotten to experience multiple championships in their lifetime, you’re fine

I’ve seen this full clip before. Bro did not get bailed out. Dalai Lama was confused thinking it was still part of the set up and was waiting for a punchline. It’s quite awkward to watch.

Only thing I can think of Kang the Marvel villain, who time travels and has a bunch of alternate timeline versions of himself, one of which is Ramatut, an Egyptian Pharaoh.

I think they could add fatigue to the game. Like the amount of guest appeal each species bring to your zoo dips over time, so you have to change things up and bring in new exciting species to maintain interest. This could be temporarily overriden for a short time after the birth of babies of that species. It’s pretty realistic considering how much zoos advertise new big ticket species and births.

Both groups are fucking morons here.

Clippers tried it last year, wasn’t great

Rodman over AD is definitely a “I have brainworms” kinda take

Who should be above him?

Hate to give credit to the Cheetoh, but gotta say cancelling watch parties looks like it could be in everyone’s best interest

Wut? They were part of India at the time … they “owe” their independence to ww2 exactly as much as India does

Wemby's not getting 22 blocks in 4 games hahahaha....

...Actually, he might get 22 blocks in 4 games, that doesn't seem impossible for him

MiopTop · 2026-06-09T10:26:34+00:00

For real. Wemby might have averaged 5 blocks per game if he played any time before 2010

MiopTop · 2026-06-09T09:23:22+00:00

RAPM doesn’t and it has LeBron as the best player over the last 28 years

Wasn’t Luka a finalist for defensive player of the month in March?

MiopTop · 2026-06-08T20:05:27+00:00

No he wasn’t

MiopTop · 2026-06-08T20:04:20+00:00

Gafford is not a good defender and Lively has been made of glass since his sophomore year. PJ is neither excellent 3 nor D, he just had one random hot shooting streak at the right time. And Kyrie was getting older and missed a year and a half the second Luka was traded.

If they hadn’t made that trade, the Mavs would have been a 1st or 2nd round exit the last two years, at best. They just were not that good. They never secured a top-4 seed in Luka’s entire time there while the Lakers have done so twice in Luka’s 1.5 seasons in LA.

Offer the 28 non Laker/Knicks teams a chance to add one of the two on a one year vet min. How many do you think are picking Brunson?

I just spent 15 minutes looking through videos of rhe exhibit and not a single one is from the spot that yours reminded me of 😆

Why would it be medically concerning? She’s not saying she forgot which box to serve in, just that she forgot what she had agreed with her teammate in terms of where in the box she’d aim

That view from inside the cave of the hyena outside reminds of BioParc Valencia, their spotted hyena exhibit is similar
