POLLS. DON’T. MATTER!!!
This. They are a lie attempting to convince you voting is a waste of time. Vote. It isn't just about the count, it's about the margin needed to overcome legal BS after the fact.
F Polls. All they are at this point is an attempt to get you to not bother voting. Vote even if your candidate is up by 20 points because it isn't just about the count it is also about the margin needed to overcome legal BS.
F Polls. Vote.
Depends how much it snows and how cold it gets. Much of this may sound over-cautious if your winters are mild.
-
Most cities/towns have by-laws regulating property owners clear and rock-salt their walkways within a set amount of time after snow has ceased falling,
-
If you use a shovel, get an ergonomic one. It is very easy to hurt your back clearing snow. No matter how long you wait, the plow always comes AFTER you've cleared your driveway,
-
If you have kids, get into the routine of checking local news for 'snow days', or in other words the schools have announced they are closed due to poor road conditions,
If you drive:
-
Wiper fluid needs to be swapped out for winter fluid or it may freeze in the reservoir,
-
Get a windshield ice-scraper/brush,
-
Your vehicle should have a good emergency kit including first aid, a candle/matches, and blanket in case you get stuck in the boonies during a winter storm,
-
Expect black-ice and snow drifts while driving. Both love to cause you to lose control. Rain freezing on the trees, while absolutely gorgeous, is a sign to take the day off work to avoid driving,
-
If it gets really cold and/or you're in an area with high seasonal precipitation you'll want to have a vehicle that is equipped with a block heater (if it is gas combustion engine ofc), and have an extra set of winter tires (sometimes a legislated requirement too) to change for the season.
- Keep an eye on your (and I guess your neighbours if you want to be helpful) house' roof and make sure the snow doesn't build up too much as this can cause damage/leaks/collapses if it gets too heavy
Article forgets to discuss how a removal of sanctions due to withdrawing would help alleviate the economic crisis.
Continuing the war means the economy faces stagnation, while ending it would shut off the massive defense spending that's driven growth, Alexander Mertens writes.

> Summary > > Regardless of Putin’s decision regarding the war in Ukraine, Russia’s economy is facing a crisis due to factors such as sanctions, a shrinking sovereign wealth fund, and a labor shortage. The war has boosted growth, but Russia cannot sustain it without significant economic consequences.
Police also found dozens of handguns, AR-15-style rifles and submachine-guns -- "many of which were loaded and ready to be used."

> Summary: Canadian police dismantled the largest drug “super lab” in the country, seizing a record amount of fentanyl, methamphetamine, and firearms. The operation was linked to organized crime and had been mass-producing and distributing drugs across Canada and internationally.
Russian Central Bank Governor Elvira Nabiullina warned Thursday that “more drastic changes” in monetary policy may be needed as the country’s rumbling war economy drives inflation far above target levels.

> Russian Central Bank Governor Elvira Nabiullinawarned comments, made to a group of State Duma lawmakers, come a week after the Central Bank hiked its key rate to a record-high 21%, taking it even further than the emergency rate of 20% initially introduced after the February 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
No, in the whole sense. It could very easily be interpreted that He gave Baal-rogs what would in modern days be described as a 'jetpack'. 2 flames jutting out from the rear. Baal-rog is dark-speech for "breaks sound barrier". We are talking about supernatural creatures that by definition transcend expectations and as such verisimilitude doesn't apply.
It's even worse than that I believe. They've all probably been instructed to never show any doubt regarding the election outcome in any hard correspondence to prevent rebuttal evidence in court.
They're not even yes-men. They are simply obedient little bitches.
None of them could go 400 mph. That’s just silly
And completely in keeping with every other facet of fantasy if you want to be that way. A Baalrog can go 400mph just as easily as Gandalf could teleport. All it takes is the stroke of a pen.

Our judicial system is based on what we can prove, and we can’t prove things that didn’t happen.
Hooo boy, do I have some bad news for you...
It biases them towards catering to public demand instead of being a neutral arbiter of justice.
Want to keep your job as judge? Better not be 'weak on crime' etc...
Yup. Or in other words "spikes".

Didn't think you were defending .ml admins. I was curious how my statement could be construed as judgmental. I was genuinely trying to be neutral in my statement and your criticism helps me see how I could improve it in the future.
You’re clearly casting a value judgment over the Cuban political system
I don't see how. Please elaborate.
