Even Iran has it. Well had it. Pretty sure it's gotten zeroed as of the past few weeks. It was not a large amount (you'd have to look up the amount, I think it is about $10 a month). Anyway the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Ariabia, Kuwait etc. have it. It's just a matter of how much they provide. The UAE provides enough to live on without a job (about $2,900 a month for an individual citizen). I think Saudi Arabia does too.

"We're confident an unbiased court will overturn the original certification, and we look forward to the opportunity for our team to fairly voice their opinions."

Yes, a fair voicing of "opinions" on labor conditions between one human and one globe-spanning immortal megacorporation. Very fair.

and not great for those buying the companies products because those higher costs will be passed on to the customers in higher prices.

Only true for goods and services where there is perfectly inelastic demand, which kind of doesn't exist. Even demand for fuel is somewhat elastic. Health care has about the least elastic demand. Junk from Amazon has highly elastic demand.

But maybe Bezos and the other execs will take a pay cut to come up with more money for the warehouse workers and prices will not increase.

This would certainly happen to a large degree, otherwise Amazon could price themselves out of competitiveness fairly easily.

... update "was to bring 'production-ready improvements' ...

As opposed to half-assed improvements? Obviously updates/patches pushed to end-users should be "production ready". It's sad that it had to be specifically stated that Microsoft actually worked on these. I imagine people will remain dubious anyway.

... and generally ensure system stability by optimizing different Windows services."

So much better than those updates designed to do the opposite. /s

So it's ironic that some (but not all) users reported instead that the update "blocks users at the door, refusing to install or crashing midway through the process."

Ironic? Yes. Surprising? No.

I guess it is more complex then:
- eat once a month
- have special hormones/peptides

After all, the snake has energy and is pretty vital again after a few days of digesting. No one would assume the rest of the meal is just shitted out again, it is stored somehow, and can be accessed later. So the interesting question is: how does the snake store energy for 2 or 3 weeks until it hunts again.

On top of that, Pythons are pretty clever. For example they recognize their owner, or house hold people around them. If they are fed, they do not hunt your pets, they know what feeding time is, and what/where to eat.

Personally, I've noticed myself suddenly getting naggingly hungry upon just seeing food...I was fine seconds earlier.
That can happen easy if you have a deficit of some sort and your body "thinks" what you are seeing is helpful.

I had a pretty badly injury about 2 years ago. I am not really such a chicken fan (well, kind of I am, but I am not running around eating chicken from char coal every day), but at that time: I ate nearly every day the whole thing. Including the bones that I could chew, and definitely all the "jelly" around the joints.

My body simply demanded that I eat that. Sometimes I ate 2 half chickens same day, one as lunch and one as dinner.

So for months I only ate meat and fruits, lol. Or very meat heavy Thai dishes (kind of salads) like Tab Wan or Mhu Manau.

Does not really matter what "kind of balanced diet" you eat.
If you spice up your meal with ketchup, drink eat stuff with artificial sweetener ...
Mix the "correct food" together in the wrong way ... and so on.

It does not help to eat healthy stuff over the course of the day: every meal has to be healthy.

You eat fat and sugar same time, with to much sugar, or to much carbs that quickly converted into sugar: your body converts the sugar to fat, more or less instantly. And it stores the fat in your blood, in the fat cells: more or less instantly.

So, your healthy steak with a fatty edge, perfect nutrition, and the oven potatoes - which would not harm: become a fat bomb with a little bit of ketchup. Ooops, the sugar in the ketchup makes the potatoes become sugar faster, spike the fat and sugar levels in your blood, and the insulin makes your body store the nice and healthy fat edge of the steak in to your fat cells.
