Not typically, as serving wine (and I think any drink above 5% ABV) in Utah requires a liquor license. Some resorts like Snowbasin have actual full bars at them, and so can serve cocktails and wine, but most ski resorts for anyone who isn’t rich probably only serve beers.
It’s 5% ABV that’s the limit for most grocery/convenience stores, with higher content being available at liquor stores and licensed establishments (like bars). I always bring my own alcohol if I’m skiing, so idk which category a resort would fall under.
It used to be limited to 4% ABV for beers outside liquor stores, but they changed that a few years ago when beer producers decided they didn’t wanna make a special kind for Utah anymore and threatened to just leave the Utah market outright.
Wait ‘til they learn about South Korea And the Chaebol. Samsung alone is responsible for ~13% of SK’s GDP.
How so? It’s a physically demanding job, and pay also has to be scaled with the fact that NYC is one of the most expensive cities to live in.
An 8th century peasant probably wouldn’t immediately call you a witch, and even if they did, they probably wouldn’t execute you for it, so long as nothing suspicious happens afterwards. So long as you don’t literally show up in your Time Machine in the middle of the day directly in front of them, you’ll be fine. Keep a low profile and people will write a lot of things off as exotic goods. You could just say these are a candy from somewhere far away and they would have no way of knowing.
The real risk they should be worried about is the resource commitment required to run a nuclear program in the first place (to say nothing of their ballistic missiles which have consumed incredible resources over time only for them to have underperformed in the Twelve Day War).
Their domestic situation remains incredibly fragile, and every bit of money committed to a war machine is money that can’t be committed to domestic priorities like keeping the people from wanting to forcefully interface you with a piece of lighting infrastructure Mussolini-style.
Extremely understandable. I just have turbo autism and a frankly embarrassing playtime in OSRS 😭
Also, I can’t believe you would point out to me that the quest is two decades old. In a single moment I straight up withered away into dust
I believe you may be thinking of My Arm from the quests “My Arm’s Big Adventure” and “Making Friends With My Arm”, unless I’m forgetting about a troll named My Finger.
There’s a kid named finger joke there somewhere, I just know it.
The perfection of my ass could only be crafted by autistic hyperfixation. This is known.
Ukraine deploying drones from trucks in Operation Spiderweb was arguably also a drone carrier, just a terrestrial one.
Impressive. Not just anybody can cut mid stream like that on a hydrated, full bladder.
Homie got a stream so clear and a kegel so rock-hard that they’re just pissing out mineral water at this point.
Honestly, I don’t even need the group pee, I be judging even at the urinal. If I’m pissing at a urinal and someone walks up next to me, completes their entire piss, and then leaves before I’m done, I’m gonna be just a little smug about it in my head.
Smh. Should’ve been born in Rome. I could’ve been critiquing Publius on both piss duration and log volume.
Remarkably clear streams. These dudes are out there chugging water to make sure they’re not showing up dehydrated for the communal sink piss.
Idk man it maybe sounds kinda nice though?
Like, I could go for a little death (no, not that one, France) right now. Just a little, as a treat.
Sorry I’m late, but is this even true, though? My understanding is that their population is only endangered due to human mass deforestation, and that the reproductive difficulties we see with Pandas are specific to captivity.
It’s not that they’re not trying to exist, it’s just that we took away their natural environments and they’re just not made for an artificial environment. There are plenty of animals that can’t live/reproduce in captivity, and it’s not because they’re not trying.
Idk, I’m not an expert on Pandas, but imo it feels incredibly arrogant for us to decimate their habitats, imprison them in artificial environments, blame them for being unable to adapt to the conditions that we inflicted on them, and then allow them to die as if that was somehow their desire or predetermined end.
Exactly, a Philosophy Major.
Hit the nail on the head. I’m not proud to admit that I’m absolutely okay with execution purely for the reason of retribution in the face of truly unforgivable acts (I’m talking the Epsteins of the world; beyond any doubt guilty of years of atrocity). I acknowledge that this isn’t justice, it’s vengeance, but my ape brain admittedly doesn’t really view the two separately - a relic of our evolutionary past, I’m sure.
However, I absolutely don’t trust the state to be the one setting the requirements for what meets the definition of unforgivable, and I certainly don’t trust them to do their due diligence, so the whole thing has to go. As it stands, capital punishment isn’t about what you did, so much as it is the state proving to you and everyone else that only they have a monopoly on violence. That they can, if they so choose, end your life and nobody can do anything about it. It’s about proving that they, at the end of the day, own you.
Trigger warning: this is about to get fairly gruesome; I’ll be going in depth on botched hangings.
But short answer: 100%. Hanging can be botched in a variety of ways. More detailed explanation below.
The ways that it can go wrong tend to be fairly unpleasant as well. The ideal is that you get the perfect height relative to your weight that it breaks your neck, but if that gets messed up, you’re likely going to end up slowly suffocating instead (too short a drop) or having your head literally pulled straight from your body (too long a drop). There are (potentially apocryphal) accounts of people being hanged who weren’t actually heavy enough for it to effectively suffocate them or break the neck, so others would have to get involved and literally grab them by the legs to pull them down to add more weight. If the noose isn’t tight enough, it could come loose and wrap partially around the face instead, leading to a slow strangulation and/or severe lacerations. Skin can be fully or partially degloved as a consequence as well.
All in all, if we’re going for classic execution methods, I’m personally going guillotine.
I love this being framed as inhumane as if lethal injection isn’t the most consistently botched method of execution and as if firing squad isn’t by far the most effective and painless. People are shocked by it, and they want to abstract away from the barbarism inherent in the taking of a human life, but no matter the method, the end result is always the same.
Capital punishment shouldn’t exist in my opinion, not because I have any moral issues with it in principle, but because the burden of proof is simply too high to be met by the legal system as it exists now. Given that it does exist, however, I would personally choose firing squad as my way to go ten times out of ten. Better that than the paralytic working, the anesthetic not working, and feeling lava in your veins for the final minutes of your life as you can’t even scream.
I would counter that this is a borderline impossible task, but likely the wrong question, as if you create a system that includes people who see the trees, people who see the forests, people who see both, and people who see neither (or, alternatively, people who see the whole equation fundamentally differently; the aforementioned neurodivergent category), then of course you’re going to include all of humanity. It’s like saying “there are twelve kinds of people: those born in January, those born in February, those born in March…”; true by definition, debatably useful due to the broadness of the categorization.
I’m still not entirely certain I understand the point you were making in the original post, so I can’t really comment on the validity of the point itself, but I am certainly familiar with the Type A/Type B categorizations, and I’ve never found it to be that useful, simply because a person is not static across the board. Someone can be biased by their own personal experience to view the world in contradictory ways on a per-issue basis. In my experience, very few people are truly “type A” or “type B” all the time, as the viewpoints are inherently subjective and humans are seldom perfectly logically consistent. Indeed, the people I find to be the most often internally consistent are those who are outside of the classification (neurodivergent). Speaking from a personal perspective, I’d guess it’s likely because there is often a lot of manual reasoning involved in adapting new information to worldview/behavior.
