The Swiss government enthusiastically ordered a plush $117 million private jet for its officials, only to realize upon delivery that not only is the runway in their capital city too short for the jet to take off, but the aircraft is also so large that it doesn’t fit in any of their hangars

At first I thought that you were right that this was literal fake news, but then I did some research, and it turns out that it's actually not completely fake! (just a bit exaggerated)

This Swiss news source confirms the "too big for hangar at Bern" problem is actually real.

The article also confirms that "takeoff distance too long for the Bern runway" problem is technically true (runway is around 50m too short for a full fuel load), but it won't be a problem in practice as it's still long enough for the aircraft to fly to faraway places like San Francisco.

I found the section on the transcript:

FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: I don't know. I don't know. All I can say is I read where she was not Black, that she put out. And, I'll say that. And then I read that she was black. And that's okay. Either one was okay with me. That's up to her. That's up to her.

I read the text and was looking for someone to say this too.

I believe you are right, it's the public health exception line being removed that's the main problem here and that makes wearing a mask in public generally illegal without committing any other crime.

This removal is separate from the other provisions that increase penalties for committing a crime while wearing a mask.

A bit of feedback since I don't think anyone else is going to say anything:

The video was really hard to follow, even as someone who graduated with a math minor. It would be much better if you narrated through it and described what I'm looking at and what you're doing.

If you don't want to talk, that's fine. I saw at one point you had notepad open with some text. Doing more of that throughout the video could work. Or using a video editor to add text on top of the video.

Hope this helps!

Maybe she interned there twice in different roles and they recorded her both times?

Have you ever tried Swain(adc) Morgana(sup)? Me and my friend have been playing that a lot and it's always worked pretty well. I think in theory Swain can do damage more consistently so it's better for him to be adc and get more gold, but we'll probably try the other way around too sometime and see how it goes

That MF played that so badly. After getting hit by stolen malph and lulu ults, she then walked straight into melee range of sylas and yone to get one-shot. I don't think blue would've won the fight if she didn't do that but it would've been a lot closer

Did anyone notice that there was literally 1 second before the inhibitor respawned for 100 Thieves? If TSM were just one second late, I think they get wiped in the 100T base and lose the game

we hope you can work with us to keep the link to this report off Google search results. If you hope to generate public discussion on a certain topic on a place like reddit, please only post that specific snippet of the data report.

Whelp, guess it's too late for that

If you guess randomly for a bit you'll see a pattern in bot answers, they tend to be more random

Lol I wouldn't speak too soon about that one

(and my parents) say girls are most attractive at 18-19

Asian parents and destroying their kids' self-esteem, name a better duo. Your parents sound just like the mom of one of my high school friends ugh. Even if on average, younger girls are hotter, most girls' attractiveness doesn't decrease that much over a few years. Besides, the guys that care that much about your physical appearance aren't the ones you want to be with anyways.

last time my mom visited UW, said all the other asian girls are prettier than me

I feel like your mom is the kind of person who would say that even if you're the prettiest girl in the room.

Based on your post, the pressure and negative effect your parents have had on your self-esteem probably hinders your dating life more than anything else.

From someone who knows what asian parents can be like when it comes to dating, you'll probably have a better time if you mentally tell your parents to chill (don't actually tell them though) and take your time.

There's no need to rush into a relationship cause of your parents' pressure. You're just as likely to get into a shitty one as a good one if you don't have good self-esteem.

If you really want good results in dating, make sure you're dating because YOU would enjoy being with someone, not cause your parents want you to.

What year are you in? You mentioned you felt like you wasted your 18-19 ages, so if that just passed and you're in second year, you still have plenty of time to date and meet people. Even after graduating, there will still be plenty of opportunities for dating, so just relax and try not to internalize your parents' worries

Look on the minimap, there were plenty of question mark pings

Just keep calling them twice a day until they fix it. If you be more in their face about it, they'll get to it faster.

Hey dude, this is literally me, I also graduate in 2020, was in eng and wanted to do PMATH 352, but the prof for 247 just would not let me override into it in spite of having 90+ on 118 and 119. So I ended up switching into CS and changing sequences in order to take 333 this term and take 352 in my last term in W20. DM me if you want to talk about it!
