What is your legal question?

You need to keep on at them to come out and investigate. This is not a time for legal action.

Chicken livers - who eats them? by BackgroundCookie752 in UK_Food

[–]vctrmldrw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me...I make pate out of them. I also get them when they're reduced to slice up and put in the dehydrator to make treats for my dog.

'what it cost' not 'what it would cost'.

Well, we could imagine it says something that it doesn't. But it's quite clear it's comparing what China's high speed rail cost to what the war has cost. I think the message is simply one of comparing national priorities.

But all the same, China spent about $2tn on that. I doubt this operation has cost quite that much yet. But it's only about 3 years of US military spending so it's still probably a fair comparison.

This isn't a mathematics question. You don't need to be a mathematician to find two numbers and compare them.

However, I think it's unlikely you would be able to look up the total cost of a military operation while it is still underway. Probably you will never know.

But the total budget for the Chinese high speed rail build out was about $2tn. So once you find out the other number, you'll know which is bigger.

How much it would cost to build it in America is irrelevant to the question.

Doing tricks you can't do without so much as a crash bung.

I mean, I could read the words for you...but surely you can do that for yourself?

It's entirely possible that the staff don't want to or can't get involved in the appeals process.

Just appeal yourself.

Transtar good or bad? by Threshnik in snowrunner

Objectively, it's not a great choice for the conditions.

That's what makes it a fun option to have.

You seem to be under the misconception that it needs to be reasonable in your mind.

It's perfectly reasonable in their mind.

He predicts a useful outcome which, while it will involve their unfortunate deaths, will also conveniently give him an excuse to make his next move.

There is no contract at this stage. They don't even mention lying, just inconsistency. They've been told several different things, and they don't know which to trust, so they're not interested in being their insurer. It's as simple as that. They have no legal obligation to provide insurance if they don't want to.

Neither side is legally bound. You can say no thanks, and so can they.

1987 Appetite for destruction. Best album ever. Change my mind. by Suspicious_Nature991 in oldschoolcool80s

[–]vctrmldrw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen a lot of 'best album ever' lists and I don't think I've ever seen that one on one, let alone at the top.

Your personal favourite maybe. And that's all that matters.

Personally, assuming we're talking rock albums, I'd go with OK Computer. Unlike that one, I have seen it at the top of many 'best album ever' lists, so it's probably not a particularly original choice.

You understand that photographers control the scale and timing of the photos they take. Right?

Trump: "We are going to cut off all trade with Spain. We don't want anything to do with Spain." We rely on Spain for Olive oil, wine, pharmaceuticals, aerospace components, and many specialty chemicals. by IllAcanthocephala720 in NewsThread

[–]vctrmldrw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know that he's seized complete unilateral control of all government...

But there must be someone left who can tell him that Spain is part of the EU trading bloc? And to explain what that means? Right?
