Good for him! He may actually see the money since it'll be paid out of withheld funds and I hope he has family and other people helping him to assemble a good care team and getting the money set up to last him the rest of his life.

McNally posted:I did a little bit of digging and came up with a couple explanations, one of which was "these young men belong to a particular orthodoxy that requires strict gender segregation and the tunnels were dug under the women's section so they could see naked women," another was "one Hasidic sect wanted to control more space than another sect, hence the tunnels." Someone else had a good one liner, "no telling how deep this rabbi hole goes".

Platystemon posted:The Two Chinas situation has been such a joke for so long that ˇJeb!, who is not a young man, grew up hearing his dad refer to his tennis serve as “unleashing Chang”. Looking back at it the world would be a better place if someone 60 years ago had persuaded the Kuomintang to give up on the mainland and just make their own China with blackjack and hookers on the island.

facialimpediment posted:Until ~2019-ish, China let Hong Kong basically self-rule itself. Then they didn't: Beijing had also said they'd let "one country two systems" keep going for fifty years before fully integrating HK but Pooh Bear decided he wanted his signature accomplishment to be bringing HK, Macao, and Taiwan back under the full control of Beijing so they jumped it forward a couple of decades.

My Spirit Otter posted:i thought they werent loving with macao for money printing reasons Similar poo poo is happening there with bullshit disqualifying of candidates for office but HK has always enjoyed much stronger brand recognition. Macao has also generally had fewer protests than its neighbor so there have been fewer attention catching crackdowns there.

AreWeDrunkYet posted:Aside from the humane option of not executing anyone not convicted of documented corruption, seems like we could have some fun by letting prisoners choose their own execution method if a doctor is reasonably sure it would be lethal. Want to sit on top of a few tons of ammonium perchlorate as it cooks off? We let them choose the last meal, so why not. Death by snoo snoo.

AreWeDrunkYet posted:It's difficult to put a hard line on it, and it is easily abusable which is why there is a historical precedent for diplomatic immunity. But at least among countries that are nominally allies it seems reasonable to have reciprocal agreements that lets an ambassador that chokes a prostitute face consequences without damaging diplomatic relations. The country that owns the person accredited to the host county can waive immunity if they want. In practice this almost never happens but the option exists if a person granted immunity does something especially heinous.

Lmao those data centers maybe have that many people working on them during construction but it's a tiny number of computer janitors and facility maintenance people there on a daily basis once they're up and running.
