If Crimea has no air defense, why is the Kerch bridge still standing?

Portugal is pretty great. And, Italy.
Great if you want to be born poor into a country with limited upward monolito. No place beats the USA. Make your money here and then vacation or retire in one of these economic midgets with a string cafe cultura.
No love for Maison Mètier in this thread.

That’s a load of bull. There is no bigger judicial hellhole in the south than Harris county Texas.

For Rome, it’s not well known that the Vatican Necropolis is open to tours. It’s been very limited for decades. You can also get a tour that pairs it with the Museums and the Basilica.
You can also tour the archaeological dig for Nero’s palace, the Domus Aurea. It’s next to the Colosseum and very easy to visit.
On the other side of the forum is Le Domus Romanus di Palazzo Valentini, giving a multimedia walkthrough of a first century Roman Domus and ends with a unique view of Trajan’s column.
Next to the Trevi Fountain is La Vicus dell’Acqua, the ancient Roman cistern from which the fountain gets its water. An excellent way to get the history of the area.

You could apply any groupthink to the theme of the show but the last episode definitely seemed to me to trend toward religion with the girl in Peru taking what could be interpreted as a Eucharist and Zosia/the Hive's insistence on converting Carol.
I thought this all was powerfully shown in contrast to post-joining. All that show and pretense was dropped the moment she was joined. The life she thought they would lead was no longer needed.

That seems like a lot. I feel like $2M is plenty for most professionals. Why are you evaluating your exposure based on your assets and income? Those don’t make you any more likely to be subject to a big claim.
It’s possible that people might be inclined to pursue an excess judgment because they perceive you to be wealthy, but I think that’s being a little paranoid.
I would also look at the premiums. I certainly wouldn’t pay a whole lot for a high limit.
N.B., the Hive Mind promised not to harvest stem cells “from her body”.
Is it possible they come up with a new way to harvest stem cells from spit or saliva?

I can’t think of anything more impactful than paying for school, especially college. The return on investment and quality of life will pay dividends for the rest of the beneficiary’s life.

Of course, if the stories remain as politically motivated as they have, it won't matter.
As long as the story is good, I generally don’t care, but wow, this finale was just weighed down by political messaging. No subtlety or nuance to it. I hated it.

Easy. You just need to bill 3000 hours a year.

I guarantee there was more than a football team’s worth of sailors on the bridge. A dozen of them watching it unfold with collision alarms screeching.
This happens all the time and it’s shameful. Read the accident investigation from the John McCain collision and you can see the level of competence the USN puts to sea. There are others, but that one shows almost comical errors.
I am guessing, but if you spelled it out La Passe Christianne, and you pronounced it with a french accident you would land pretty close to the target.
