Where is this the case? Unimaginable here in Canada.

As with most sci-fi the author gets loopier in the later books. That being said:
- Dune: masterpiece of philosophy, one of the best books ever put to print
- Dune Messiah: a worthy sequel and must read after the first book; completes Paul's arc
- Children of Dune: more plot driven than the first, but still thematically rich and entertaining.
- God Emperor of Dune: the most divisive of the books: you love it or you hate it. I am in the love it camp, the book is unhinged and the themes are marvelous. This is where I'd stop a read of the series.
- Chapterhouse and the other (Heretics?): forgettable in my opinion, simply because I've forgotten them. Later book fan opinions welcome.
- anything Brian Herbert: not terrible but not awfully good either. Makes for decent light reading I guess, and there's good lore building in some of the books despite some unforgivable retcons (Agemmemnon, sigh)
Yeah that topology is probably better described as burrito
The last day is a dedicated new year's celebration day, two on leap years.
Read the source more carefully
Tesla drivers have the highest accident rate. From Nov. 14, 2022, through Nov. 14, 2023, Tesla drivers had 23.54 accidents per 1,000 drivers. Ram (22.76)
Accidents only. Worst driver counts DUIs a d fines as well.
Nobody's life is in any real danger here. They and all their equipment are roped in on at least 3 redundant anchors (probably a number more). Rock climbing looks scary but with proper precautions and training it is not significantly riskier than other outdoor sports.
The level of ignorance from these commenters who know nothing of the sport but speak with such authority on it really reminds me of the worst of reddit.
Saying maths is absolutely out of place here. Also taxes here aren't nearly as complicated as the US and there are a number of free tools available to file by yourself.
In a word, yes. Subsides to the tune of 100s of billions of dollars a year across the USA.
I think a more fair take is that we need growth in underdeveloped places and degrowth in highly developed places. It's less about changing the total economic output and more about changing how that output is distributed.
Connect is a great android app where you can block instances. Though I agree this should be a site wide feature.
Luo Ji isn't even introduced until book 2. Season 1 is only book 1. I hate D&D for what they did go GOT as much as anyone else, but find something real to critique.
