Get that over-reaching sense of entitlement embedded early.
Back last century, returning to Australia from MacWorld Boston ('97 as it was the infamous Jobs' praising MS-IE),
I presented an empty 'pineapple' grenade, for inspection to the 'anti-hijacking' pre boarding security at Los Angeles.
I had unscrewed the fuse out of the body of the grenade and I presented the two pieces saying: "You may not like this..."
But once they saw the grenade was mounted on a small base board with a small plaque that read:
"Customer Service. Please take a number" with a square tag with the number "1" on the pull ring of the pin,
they laughed and waved me through...

Known for his biting satire and his dedication to Socialism, [dissident East German songwriter Wolf Biermann] chronicled his life under surveillance with a powerful sense of humor, and nowhere better than in the “Stasi Ballad” from 1974, with its classic refrain – “Die Stasi ist mein Eckermann.”
That is a reference to the German poet Johann Peter Eckermann, who patiently chronicled the utterances of that Olympian figure of German literature, Johann Wolfgang Goethe – ultimately published in Goethe’s Conversations With Eckermann in the Last Years of His Life, which Nietzsche called the “greatest work in the German language”. Here is an English rendition:
I feel a common humanity
With the poor Stasi dogs,
Required to sit through snow and downpours of rain
Tediously listening to me through the
Microphone they have installed
Which catches every sound,
Songs, jokes and soft curses
Sitting on the toilet and in the kitchen
Brothers from state security – you alone
Know all my troubles.
You alone can attest,
How my whole human effort
Is committed with passionate tenderness
And zest to Our Great Cause.
Words which otherwise would be lost,
Are captured firmly on your tapes,
And – I’m sure of it – now and again
You sing my songs in bed.
I sing my gratitude to you,
Stasi is my Ecker,
Stasi is my Ecker,
Stasi is my Eckermann.

When I buy oranges that are naturally grown, I know what I'm getting.
RTFA please.
Your naturally grown oranges are suffering an insect-borne bacterial disease that is killing the industry, by stunting/souring the fruit.
The current BAU solution to this problem is: more insecticide. Much more.
Hope you enjoy your orange juice, now you know that it contains 3x as many pesticide residues.
The GMO technology is about saving orange juice as a product, by inserting a gene from spinach.
Monsatan really sucks. More about patent raping for $billions than better food.

I just love the TSA.
And so you should.
The minor annoyances that people seem to want to blow up [joke] into traumatizing life ruining experiences will quickly dissipate,
when the Transportation Security Administration is rebranded to a warmer fuzzier name...
To save issuing new badges etc, the same acronym TSA will be used, so we can have

The cost was just too high for the production offered. Make me the same offer at say $15K for 3K or maybe a little more for 4K and I think I'd have jumped on it.
mean that a 3kW grid connected solar system would cost you $15,000 ?
If so, please wind your calendar forward 5 years to 2103.
I can source grade A solar panels for $0.80 per watt; that's a $2400 panel cost for 3kW, $3200 for 4kW.
Maybe another $4K for inverter and installation.
Solar is so damn cheap now.
A strategy to get them to talk:
Either talk and rat out the rapist brother, or the €1m DNA test is done to confirm the exact perpetrator.
The rapist get time in the big house but the twist is that the innocent brother get fined €1m for obstruction of justice.
