That is remarkably cost-effective.
The government has spent more than $200 million to advertise CBP Home — and nearly 38,000 people have used the app to leave the U.S.
But it sounds like they’re not including the amortized advertisement costs in that number. This would add $5,263 per person.
Is that Selma in a corset of sorts and Patty in thigh-high socks?
Clearly he’s out of practice.
Meanwhile on Lemmy…
I once had a package marked as having arrived despite never moving past the “shipping label printed” stage. But the company did send me a second one, and then a week later the first one arrived too and they told me to keep it.
The advantage of that last approach is that it has side effects and cannot therefore be optimized out by the compiler.
Any true Roman Empire appreciator would happily be devoured by lions for the amusement of Emperor Nero.
The USA was in no danger of losing the Civil War by that point.
Please, don’t make me choose between Rome and libertarianism. I love them both too much.
I can think of no one I would rather see in bed with me when I wake up than Darth Vader.
Not really archaic - if this was valuable stuff washing up on shore, the law would still be relevant.
Members of the British government have been calling for strong efforts to ensure the shipping company and its insurers will pay the costs of the cleanup. Seatrade, which operates the vessel, said its insurers are fully engaged in the process, and in the meantime, volunteers are scouring the beaches, aiding in the cleanup (and possibly taking a few bananas home as a reward).
I don’t think the 1/e strategy changes just because candidates have a chance of rejecting you.
Is that a haiku?
I seem to recall reading that some gladiators had a layer of fat, perhaps because that way in fights not intended to end in death, shallow wounds would bleed a lot and entertain the crowd without causing serious injury.
It doesn’t look like the first explosions penetrated the hull. I suppose that the intent was to knock out the rudder but this outcome is still surprising to me.
I would often use both the title and the person’s nickname, but never just the name. So, for example, “Papa Mike” but not “Mike” or “Michael”. It made more sense for grandparents because I had two of each, but I did it for my parents too.
I’m really annoyed by this as well, but why do you jump from that to concluding that the government should ban it? I don’t see any reason why the stores should not in principle be allowed to do it.
