The problem is that the judges often use their decisions to campaign instead of simply applying the law. So they might give an unpopular criminal defendant a harsher sentence to look tough on crime or even tilt a trial against an innocent defendant. Not that doesn’t happen with judges that are appointed by the executive, but it’s usually not as bad.
The power bowl is nice combined with other stuff. During Hatch chili season, I roasted up some Hatch chilies and removed the skin, stem, and seeds. Chop one or two up and stick them in the bowl. Combine with a heated tortilla.
Though that varies by country. It is also maybe not meat based but milk based.
And many items can be customized to be vegan or vegetarian with some simple substitutions or exclusions. The only problem is when the kitchen makes a mistake. Not a calamity for someone who is just trying to get a lot less meat in their diet, but a reason to be pissed when a vegan wanders into a region of reduced fat sour cream.
During the US occupation, the Taliban absolutely did attack civilian targets to further political goals. They attacked everything from restaurants to embassies to a university.
Well, it’s going through my head right now, so I will count it.
Ceilings in my ass
I just started looking up the different ways to order beers. Wow. Even if it’s based on the metric system, each country really did go and reinvent the wheel.

Housing: supply is artificially constrained by various laws, often of the NIMBY type.
Fortunately, I have a Charge 4. And there has been some enshittification since Google bought them up.
Fitbit for fitness trackers. I had one of their smartwatches and never found it useful. The trackers are stripped down versions that do everything I need and have a week of battery life.
Obviously no. I’ve been in an environment where I was expected to be breaking my concentration to check my email every 15 minutes and, yes, it was miserable. But that is not what this email signature is suggesting. Four days of silence is ridiculous.
I usually just scan through my email for anything important while switching tasks. If there’s something time sensitive or trivial, respond immediately. Otherwise, I put a response on my to do list and get back to them usually later that day. Gmail also has a feature to “snooze” an email to show up at a later time. And of course email filtering helps keep the clutter down.
Then give a preliminary response, don’t leave them hanging around. Easy!
Or hold his hand through looking at the reference material. The first time, be very nice about it, being sure to conceal any impatience. As time goes on, hint more and more that he should know how to RTFM.
