Also, dynamite doesn't last forever -- so if you are a municipality with excess dynamite that is approaching its end of shelf life, and disposing of it unused is tantamount to admitting you wasted money buying it ...
Y chromosomes and mitochondria don't have crossover, so you need unbroken patrilineal and matrilineal descent from a particular ancestor to inherit it.
So if you are Ugg, son of Ugg, son of Ugg, son of Ugg, you have ur-Ugg's Neanderthal Y chromosome, but if you are Ugg, son of Ugg, son of Uggette, daughter of Ugg, you have neither ur-Ugg's Y nor X chromosome (Uggette inherits Ugg's X, which gets crossed over with Maggie's [Ugg's Cro-Magnon missus] X's and passed on to Ugg II, but Ugg II doesn't pass on his X to you, he passed on Magnus's [Uggette's Cro-Magnon mister] Y).
Thru-hikers are often expecting to burn like 6000 calories a day.
Arctic explorers burned up to something like 10,000.
Would Neanderthals burn 30-50,000 calories in the same situation, or is that just "what Neanderthals did all day", as opposed to me, a guy sitting at a desk, burning 2000-2500 when I get my steps in?
Besides the logical "sending a message" reasons other's mentioned, I would also like to point out that dictators, crime lords, and other "strong man" types are often acting emotionally rather than rationally.
Navalny crossed him. Of course he had to die. Pride would allow nothing else.
One of the greatest features of western democracies is that our political losers, who came at the not-a-king and missed, largely still die of old age in bed surrounded by loved ones.
I _suspect_ that those 8 door-dashers were not compensated for being sent to a restaurant to pick up an already-delivered order, because they failed to complete the delivery.
Irrelevant. The law would mandate requirements for printers sold in the territory. If it's non-compliant, it can't legally be sold.
Doesn't matter if HP is an American company, their products would be illegal to sell in the EU. They have to produce a compliant product or just not sell anything.
If 90% of printers in the EU are manufactured by foreign companies that's more in line with their consumer-friendly regulations targeting US tech companies, than if there's a local printer monopoly benefiting from outrageous ink prices.
Honestly, if you want to give it another try, beyond donating plasma, I recommend feeling smug about it.
No, really; it's not like a lot of work to donate blood, if there's a blood drive at your workplace or somewhere else convenient, it's just a little uncomfortable and maybe you take it easy for a couple of days after.
So just reveling in the vainglorious satisfaction of feeling better than all those other selfish people who didn't SAVE ANY LIVES that day can be enough to outweigh the mild discomfort and bit of time you spent on the process, so the next time you see the blood drive you can look forward to the impending smugness rather than dreading the inconvenient obligation.
