Don't really mind them, they look bad if just viewing by themselves but in a screen shot are not that bad.
Comparing them to Windows 7 the artist that did those was a lot more skilled, throwing in reflections and shading.

Most states that allow non-compete had requirements that you be compensated about the normal amount, that there be a time limit and resonable geographical limitation and that your job be have responsibilities that make major changes for the business.
So a cook at a restaurant would not have a valid non-compete but if you were the head cook who designed all the recipes and the menu and were paid above what the other cooks made and were limited from working with-in 100 miles of the restaurant for the next two years then most states would accept that agreement. Some allow some consideration so if you were getting a whole lot of money that 100 miles range could be extended alot further.
If these are just regular workers then few states are going to accept the non-compete besides this is in california which outlaws all non-competes except for some very strict allowances.

What is the difference, for these small toys, of them being remote control vehicle vs a drone?

I live in a smaller village in the Rheinland-Pfalz; and if I lived a few streets over I could get Kabel Deutschland. Not as bad as some other around here, 3 km from me the village did not get broadband until around 7 years ago, and villages out from there still deal with ADSL.

The embargo against cuba did nto really start until the 1960s, before then there were arms embargoes.
It did start as you mentioned after Cuba seized a few US companies assets, US did a minor embargo, Cuba went in seized all other companies and the US started embargoing most trade.
Since then the embargo has been attempted to be lifted but the political backlash from Florida and a decent amount of voters in the rest of the US has stopped it. With Fidel gone and the communist threat basically dead it is now just the voters in florida, and sugar producers who really care about it.
As for all those properties that is something that is being discussed now and will have to be decided upon. Another major problem is going to be who owns the trademark names to various products. For example Bacardi, now USA but originally cubian, has trademarks they say they own while a company in Cuba also claims it; while there is an embargo and neither company can sell in other place it is meanless legal fight once the embargo is gone now it is a major international legal dispute.

There is a saying in the US "All politics is local" it is not really that those people value the outside country more it is that they know the money will be spent and the local voters have an personal interest in some policy dealing with that country. Since the money will be spend no matter what why not fight for what you think the money should be spend on.
If a large body of voters have a problem with it the Congressman and Senators will most likely vote for/against unless it is major contradiction to their own beliefs.

It stays because there is a large group of voters in Florida who still want it and the rest of the country that could care less if it is there or not. Then on the Cuba side they have always done what they can to keep it because it gave Fidel a ralleying cry on why Cuba is in so bad of shape.
With current talks will have to see what happens.

I really need to move, here in Germany I am paying around 75 Euro for 2/2Mbps with phone.

As for walking dead the farm season was bad, skip it and go with the following season.

They tried that at work and after a few weeks people figured they could just start parking in them no matter what and the parking lot would fill up over time.

Depending on how they word the "paid for" portion this could be a better bills then most of the other bills. Provided that it allow customers to pay for and allow the ISPs to block some types of traffic.

What a bunch of historic garbage.
There are are couple of reason for the why there were laws against images of animals or human.
The first was a law against idolatry.
Then you have had an edict that came out later that drawings where a challenge to allah and that creation was unique to him. There is also some text dealing with artists breathing life into their creations and have to deal with that at the end days. This came out after mohammad death so you find artwork in building, books, statues,etc that was produced between that time.
Some additional restriction have come out just because of tradition.

What does the gold trim actually mean. They got a good deal on flags with gold trim on them or they looked how it looked.
Beyond that nothing it means nothing, the flag I have for hanging outside has the same thing, I needed a flag and I found it for cheap.

Not this garbage again.
If this is true please answer this.
Where are Hearst vast forests? Plesae give coordinates so far there is more proof of the elephant graveyard. However you can easily find receipts of his newspaper companies purchasing large quantities of paper and of the paper companies purchasing wood.
Since there are no vast Hearst forests he then had to be the stupidest business man in history since he was throwing away a resource that would of resulted in cheaper production costs for him.
The reason later laws, the 1937 was a taxation law, passed was not some mythical Hearst stopping it but that the public got upset with the stories and effect on people it was causing.
