Those children who were at the ice skating rink were also attacking Ukraine? Quite precocious!

Is there a judiciary that determines whether the mob was within their rights to light your restaurant on fire, and can stop the mob from lighting the restaurant on fire?

Even if you think the FCC is just an extension of trump(fair) at this moment, their rulings aren't the final word. They still need to follow the law. If the FCC improperly attempts to withhold a license from the affiliate, the affiliate can sue and let federal judges, who are not an extension of trump, decide on the matter.

Sheesh, good thing G-d decided to take a chill pill somewhere between the Old and New Testaments.

If you look at the graph, life expectancy didn't really diverge until the 90s, 40 years after the bombing campaign.

And, any way, the North Koreans started it.

I'm glad you're getting healthier, but what are the odds that all of your theories have any basis in reality, after spending , I'm guessing, years or decades living an unhealthy lifestyle.

Like, do you really think your tongue position is affecting your facial and jaw structure? I'm guessing you believe in "mewing", and every before/after image I have seen has just been a joke.

By "a period in the nineties", you mean "since the nineties", right? So basically for the past 35 years North Korea has been heavily lagging in life expectancy.

Another way to put that is it's been 75 years since Korea split, and half that time North Korea has been much worse than south Korea.

Let's not even get into what that chart would look like if humanitarian aid wasn't shipped during those famines.

Activity might not be a directly efficient way to lose weight, but (imo) increased activity leads to increased willpower to make healthy eating choices.

Waste of space: Not really? The plot of land the building is on is ~ 1/3rd of an acre. Immediately adjacent to it are multiple street level-only parking lots that have a larger footprint. I guess providing parking to 60 cars is more useful than an empty building, but not by much, especially considering the building will probably be rehabbed eventually. For reference the LACC 1 block away has parking for 6000 cars, and done in a reasonable, space-efficient manner (multilevel underground parking).

Waste of money: Whose money? The developers? Sure. But it isn't like random tax paying citizens of LA had any kind of stake in it.

What exactly is the story? "These people suck at building buildings"? Surely, the incompetent managers wish they didn't screw it up and turn their idea into a money pit.

Sure, and that's because you(or some previous owner of your property) gave away certain rights relating to the property to the HOA.

I thought with the rollout of STIR/SHAKEN it wouldn't be possible to spoof called ID anymore?

Shouldn't it be up for grabs then?

According to the logic of "you don't call retarded people retarded. You call your friends retarded when they're acting retarded."

I don't accept that premise. I've certainly downloaded things that I also considered buying, but just didn't because of some small hurdle.
