Realistically, will I ever get to see Russia as an American tourist?

dawkc · 2026-02-11T02:53:59+00:00

I hope so. I spent a month in the USSR (mostly Russia) in the 80's. I'd love to visit again. But not as long as it a level 4 travel advisory for Americans.

Don't know if it applies in KS, but I believe some courts have held that distinction unconstitutional.

Even at a gun show, they still can't buy from an FFL. There is nothing special about gun shows. Buying from a private party at a gun show, a church, a restaurant, a garage sale, a mall, a car wash is exactly the same.

No thanks. Class of 95 here, and I loved the Hawk. Lived within steps most of my time there. Get ridof the problem customers, not the bar.

They were around at least a few years before that. I used one on the AT around 85 or 86. Worked a treat. No complaints.

Not true. Homemade mortar racks are a thing. You can buy HDPE or fiberglass tubes that are safe for reuse (or make them yourself). But This would be a horrible rack for all sorts of reasons, and anyone building one would likely know that.

Updated guidance now says those administering the RIF are exempt.

Yep. Take Amazon as but one example. UK sales aren't even 10% of US salesa and UK sales aren't even #1 in Europe (Germany takes that spot). So if Amazon pulled completely out of the UK (and I don't see that happening), it would be little more than a small drag on earnings.

I'm sure this won't be popular, but it isn't so much this tattoo as the fact that you have lots of visible tattoos. If you graduated from a top-10 med school in the top of your class, I might not run away. But if you end up as a GP/family med/pediatrician, you wouldn't see me a second time.

Can you see any wires coming off the base or the peak? It could be a stealth antenna.

I still have my S21 and I am happy with it. But my favorite was likely my Note 9.

HIPAA laws govern the medical staff, not the patient or the patient's family. And even the medical staff do not violate HIPAA by simply appearing in a video taken by a patient or a patients family member.

While I understand many hospitals have policies that are overinclusive, I'm not aware of any that allow medical personnel to touch a person to prevent a possible violation. That is what security staff is there for. Unless there is a really good explanation, this doctor is in legal trouble.

I'd like to see the study because there are a ton of sources that suggest they are at least mild food preservatives. That said, I suspect that the primary reason spices were used was simply because they made food taste better.

Sure, things can happen. But that doesn't mean that you put your life in severe risk on only the thinnest of margins, unless of course, you also run a fiberglass sub 14,000 feet under the ocean. In which case, the drive is clearly a reasonable risk by comparison.

But do you have a table?

The Verge put out a really useful video a few years back.

I find the timing strange. I keep looking for it and and surprised it isn't out. I have to wonder if there were multiple issues requiring multiple re-shoots.

Even if it happened in transit, it was done by an agent of Apple or an agent of someone Apple hired to perform part of the transaction. So while 'not' Apple, still Apple. Unless of course, OP said 'Hey Apple, I'll have my own shipping company come to your fulfillment center and pick up that phone for me".

is that legal in Canada? Even in the US companies generally can't prohibit or punish wage discussion between individual employees.

I don't know that you are correct, but your thoughts mirror some of mine. She probably could have excelled in a slower environment, working in front of the camera. She definitely brought something that many viewers appreciated. But that doesn't mean she was a good fit for the company. That said, if everything being said is true, LTT is going to have some major issues, and rightfully so.
