I’m surprised that nobody else has mentioned how far off the 20 year estimate is.

Thanks for the explanation.

1690 CHF ?!?!?!

Wow. I did not know that!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lehi_(militant_group)

Lehi split from the Irgun militant group in 1940 in order to continue fighting the British during World War II. It initially sought an alliance with Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany.[20] Believing that Nazi Germany was a lesser enemy of the Jews than Britain, Lehi twice attempted to form an alliance with the Nazis, proposing a Jewish state based on “nationalist and totalitarian principles, and linked to the German Reich by an alliance”.[20][21]

Read the whole article. It’s fills in a lot of the gaps.

I can probably manage the Bowie parts. But there’s no way I can do that three octave crescendo that Freddie Mercury comes in on.

Remember when we used to worry about paper weight and surface for our CVs?

Is there some utility to all that?

Unless you can provide a real example this is just conjecture.

More than vaguely. The man was prescient.

Why are those passenger numbers for the train so low? Here at least the railway moves something like 2000 passengers per vehicle on average. Over 3000 at peak times.

I’m sorry, can somebody explain what’s wrong with her that could potentially need to be fixed?

The biggest part of that is social insurance. It’s called a tax (FICA) in America to make people hate it.

And here’s the fun part: there’s an annual cap which is about the same as a construction worker’s salary. Once the cap app is reached they stop deducting it. So high earners only pay it for the first few pay periods of the year.

I remember the first time I earned more than the cap. I thought somebody had made a mistake when my take-home pay went up mysteriously in the middle of the year. So imagine: Bezos and friends are all done paying FICA in the first ten or fifteen minutes of the year.

Totally tangential, but does anybody else feel old when people use them simple past of “to run” as it’s past participle?

It was still irregular even in American English when I last lived there.

I think they’ve been through several rounds of repaving since 1967.

OK. My bad. I was going by the headline. Now I see that there’s nothing to substantiate it.

Why would Iran claim it then?
