I can’t speak about all Asians, but I know that in Japan anorexia is considered a virtue. There is a lot of social pressure not to get fat, especially for women. I think the pressure has decreased, but not disappeared.
And the Japanese government actually fines companies if two large a proportion of their workers is overweight, so I would imagine that being overweight makes it harder to get a job as well.
Maybe because, while they are both stimulants, they are chemically extremely different.
We are in the process of severing a half acre lot, and had to pay about $8,000 for an archaeological survey. It also delayed the process by almost a full year (and we have been waiting 5 months – and counting – of that for the ministry to accept the archaeologist’s report).
That was about $3,000 for the archaeologist to do a literature survey of land use for our area, then $5,000 to dig some small holes.
If he had found any remains or artifacts, I’m sure that the cost would have ballooned to something like the original story. There is no way we could have done the severance then.
And all three of the above: sounds like a perfectly reasonable target for deportation (minus the long detention, poor conditions, and cruelty). The problem is that we don’t want him back!
Formal training in health and science would be good, but even more important is to listen to the experts who are world leaders in those things.
So he has a drug charge on his record, along with a weapons charge and a DUI. And yet somehow, he thinks that they should be trying to get rid of the criminals, not him.
I’ve never even had a speeding ticket, in over 40 years of driving, and I still wouldn’t go to the States.
This is a load of crap, putting today’s unaffordability issues at the feet of the workers. The real problem is that all profit from improved productivity is going up to the top.
If our productivity did match the G7 average, do you actually think that it would have gone to higher wages and better conditions for workers? Of course not.
There’s also the issue that around once a year the two planets will be on opposite sides of the sun. Not only would you have a lag of close to 3 hours, but communication would be completely impossible for a month or so at a time.
Not only that, but saying that they delivered a joke but never even saying what the joke was about makes this a complete waste of time.
Yes, but the two-and-a-half hour lag each way would be a killer.
You could check out FolderFort. Sometimes they have lifetime pricing. I paid something like $170 for 3TB lifetime.
They have SFTP access in beta.
Maybe she used the words “sexually abused” when speaking to agents. Then this would simply be accurate reporting.
Or maybe she said “raped” or use different words. Without saying the original it’s impossible to know.
Not to mention that the current royal family was originally named Saxe-Coburg, changing it to a more palatable “Windsor” during the first World war (which was fought against subjects of the German Kaiser, who was a cousin of the British king).
I heard a very interesting argument that if the Royal family can remove Andrew from the line of succession, then the line itself can be manipulated, and anyone else could be added. In that case, what is the point of having a royal family?
There’s no chance that I would travel to Qatar or Russia, but living in Canada there’s a good chance I would have traveled to the US (I’ve probably gone there between 5 and 10 times in my life).
Now there is little chance that I will visit the US in the foreseeable future.
I don’t understand what you’re saying. Hydro Quebec pays royalties of $2-3 billion per year to the Government of Quebec.
Or do you mean that the government of Quebec subsidizes electricity consumers?
Smart move on their part. He would have stolen all of their medals.
People are bastard-coated bastards with bastard filling.
As a Canadian, there is a small but nonzero chance that I would go to an event in the US, in normal times. These are not normal times, and I will not set foot in the country.
That is the difference between Qatar, Russia, and the US.
I sent in a donation immediately to The Tyee, because of the power and importance of this article. I’m considering a recurring donation as well.
All too often, we think “what can I do?”. Well, supporting this kind of courageous journalism is a start.
