Am American, my advice? Just use communities/instances that don't use English as their primary language. If you want to be extra safe avoid Spanish too.
The only pharmaceutical option available for cystic fibrosis has for years been a combination treatment called ETI (elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor) priced between $300,000 and $370,000.
They also have to content with the possibility that they lose their investment after Trump is out of office. Or possibly after the midterms if Democrats win enough in both houses and actually curtail his war powers. I'm not naive enough to think that companies who participate in this theft will ever actually be punished but there legitimately is a possibility that they lose their access to Venezuelan oil before they recover their investment.
Intensity is also important. One symptom of autism for me is compulsive tendencies. The things on the shelf have a correct order and it bothers me if they aren't in that order. Food has a correct order to eat it in and I don't go back and forth between things or mix things together. Various daily tasks have to be done in a certain order.
I don't have OCD. The difference is that I can still function if these things are done wrong, it causes anxiety and agitation but not beyond a level that I can deal with. Someone with OCD might have the exact same tendencies but not be able to move forward without "fixing" whatever is wrong even if fixing it causes them injury or prevents them from dealing with more important things. Everyone wants to wash their hands sometimes. People without strong compulsions stop before their hands bleed.
This is off topic and I hope that you take it in the spirit offered. I can never decide if it's rude or helpful but the intent is to be helpful.
Teach is one of a handful of words in English that doesn't follow the normal rules for it's past tense form. The past tense for teach is taught. I honestly can't tell you how to identify which words use a different form for their past tense. I think it's just something that you learn through experience.
That's legal in the US so a guide to internet piracy certainly would be.
If you want to be overly cautious you can write it as a guide to using the exact same process to download media that's already passed into the public domain. Nothing illegal about downloading things that aren't protected by copyright. That the same process can be used to download pirated media is just a coincidence.
I don't know anything about relevant laws in the EU, Czech Republic, or Germany.
It's a twenty-five point short essay that really only asks the student to show that they read and understood the article. I'd be surprised if this assignment was more than about 2% of the final grade.
I bet with some diligent searching someone could find a biblefaq type website from an ultraconservative organization that has a suspiciously similar answer to a question like "What does the Bible say about gender roles?"
Trucks are generally useful for lots of people. I would love if there was a cheap, basic two seater with a six foot bed. Even something like a kei truck would be great as long as I could get a camper for it.
Shapes don't actually exist. They are abstract concepts that we use to describe and make predictions about the material world. We know that the ratio between the circumference and diameter of a circle are always the same because that's part of how we define a circle.
Plato blamed democracy for the death of Socrates. It was a sore spot for him. I think that having a ruling class that effectively made decisions democratically within their class was his compromise. I think that he would say that there are so many more people ruled by their stomachs (base desires) than by their hearts (honor and duty) or their heads (reason) that by giving everyone a vote democracy guarantees that the state is ruled by its stomach. His system places the responsibility of voting in the hands of those that have demonstrated that they are ruled by their heads and who have been trained to place the good of the state above all else. Restricting the vote means that the state will be ruled by its head and democratizing decisions among the ruling class defuses power to safeguards against corruption.
Who watches the watchmen is a universal critique that no system seems to have a good answer to. In Plato's system the answer is primarily the military class. They are responsible for upholding the laws and ensuring that the state is a just system. It's been years since I last read The Republic but if I remember correctly anyone had the right to inspect the philosophers for corruption. Any charges of corruption would ultimately be judged by the ruling class though so there is the problem of no clear way of controlling systemic corruption.
Plato's system was theoretical and untested by application. We also have the benefit of looking back on it with the accumulated knowledge and experience of 2,500 years. I don't argue that it's perfect or that there aren't valid criticisms. I interpreted your meme to say that Plato just wanted to put himself in charge. I don't think that particular criticism is valid.
Plato was well aware of sophistry and corruption. That's part of why he diffused power among the entire class of philosophers requiring decisions to be made broadly instead of by any individual and why he limited the personal rights and freedoms of the ruling class. Trump would never want to be a philosopher in Plato's Republic because he would have to give up the majority of his right to own property and would have to submit to inspections of his living space and property on demand to ensure that he wasn't acting corruptly.
His political system was based on his concept of the tripartite soul. The base hunger, ruled by the stomach, was the merchant and worker class at the bottom and contained the bulk of the people. The spirit of honor and glory, ruled by the heart, was the military class between the people and the rulers who enforced laws. And the reason, ruled by the head, made the laws and served as judges. So the military class was between the philosophers and the rest of the people and were responsible for getting shit done.
Plato's understanding of the word philosopher was much closer to "educated person" than our concept of the word today. In addition he didn't trust anyone with power so it was a whole class of people with power and their decisions would be based on debate and general agreement within the class to limit any individual's power. Plato also made being a member of the ruling class undesirable for most people by making a person's rights and freedoms inversely related to their political power. The state provided for the ruling class but they had almost no right to own property and their living spaces and possessions were subject to inspection at any time to ensure that they weren't being bribed or acting corruptly. I think that there are some insights there that could be useful to modern thinking. Someone like Trump would never want to be a philosopher king.
These totals include both those killed and severely wounded who will never return to combat—hence the classification as “irrecoverable losses.” Sources within Ukraine’s General Staff told UNITED24 Media that the proportion of killed Russian soldiers is rising each year. Early in the war, more troops were wounded than killed. That trend has now reversed.
From the article. It doesn't count sprained ankles but does count things like foot blown off.
Yeah but they didn't limit the buffer. You had to wait 15min for it to load but once it did you could watch a whole low quality video file straight through with no shuddering or stopping.
