It looks like every world cup but perhaps a couple has had a different stitch pattern on the ball.
No, it doesn't. They were all somewhat different up until the Telstar introduced the 32-panel, pentagon-and-hexagon stitching pattern, but it appears to me that remained unchanged for almost 40 years, from 1970 to 2006. The balls in between appear to have the same stitching pattern, just different printed designs.
I dunno.. my LEAF's maintenance schedule for the first 150K miles is pretty much "rotate tires, every 7500 miles, check brakes every 15,000". Checking the brakes, of course, involves checking the brake fluid levels, so there is a fluid. At 150K miles you do have to replace the oil used to cool the battery charger.
But, in general, EVs are very close to maintenance-free.
Yeah, but see, you can have your cake and eat it too. Eject someone if you don't get what you want, once you have the pretense to defy the US.
It's never about the moral high-ground. It's always about diplomatic leverage.
This excludes actions by populist elected bodies or particularly fickle monarchs. But in general if one nation is doing something to another nation, it's maneuvering by state and intelligence departments.
No, a surprise would be throwing US agents in jail. This is definitely regular international diplomacy stuff.
The occasional persona non grata happens.
If you look at the reviews, they actually have several 4- and 5-star ones, but they look more canned.
Hell there was a case where police raided a home looking for someone who wasn't even there. In the process tossed a flashbang in a kids crib....then disclaimed all responsibility and said it might even lead to charges against the...PERSON WHO WASN'T THERE!
Thats right, if the police have reason to suspect you of something, they are of the opinion its your fault they are investigating and you are responsible for any harm they cause to anyone else by their own actions.
They give some examples of businesses that claim to be having problems because of incorrect data Google Maps. But then one of those examples just has abysmal reviews in general (which, to their credit, they note in the article).

Except that assumes that the law is always correct. Privacy is, fundamentally, a restriction on the reach of the law; an a necessary and right one. Why, not too long ago privacy was the best defense homosexuals had from persecution.
Society has always been full of people who disagree with the law, and break it to little consequence. Why shouldn't they? The law is just a few rules written by aristocrats....it needs serious limits on its reach, more so than we have.
Thailand
can't tell if she's a human or a robot.
I think you've got the wrong success criteria there. It's if you can't tell she's a she or not.
Actually most of America would applaud the SWAT team entering banks with shotguns and tasers.
Only if I can get there and withdraw my savings first.
All of you haters underestimate the extent to which our economy depends on the unimpeded flow of capital and assets facilitated by these legal loopholes. Plug them and 1929 and 2008 will look like good times by comparison.
What I object to is the two tiered system that results from this. Any one of us plebes tries to move more than $10K across a border without doing the paperwork and its off to the rebar Hilton. A company moves assets worth billions from a high to low tax rate regime and nobody notices. Its not that I think the latter is evil. I just want the ability to participate as well. Equal protection under the law and all that.
Now, replace the term 'Bitcoin' in that sentence with 'unregistered securities'. Then ask Wall Street's dark markets, the banking and investment community what their opinion is on that and they will 1) shit themselves, and 2) run to Congress for an exemption to monetary reporting regulations.
De-facto money, yes. But money for the purposes of FINCEN and IRS regulations?
Money and 'property' are subject to different federal regulations. So if Bitcoin is considered money, then a whole bunch of addtional reporting requirements and controls apply to it.
