Might sound stupid, but perhaps then they shouldn’t be offering services like Disney Plus and instead simply offer a car that lets you download any streaming app you have your own subscription for.

Products that change the service they offer after you purchase it should also be eligible for a full refund (plus a % on top for the hassle). Such as offering a service through the product for free at the time of purchase but then moving it being a monthly subscription paywall later on, or just removing the feature completely.
There should almost be some sort of technological transfer to nearby empires, like cultural influence. If your neighbour is at 10000 tech points or whatever while you are at 1000, you should be able to leech some tech points from your neighbour to develop faster.
Transfer rate increases with the disparity between nations and decreases with distance.
So a super advanced empire on continent A will contribute to nations on continent A and B, but those on continent A get more of a bonus than those on B.
This aligns fairly well with reality as neighbouring countries would transfer students to universities all the time, less so the further the nations are apart.
Depends on the location. Mosquito control is done all over, but I’m only somewhat familiar with north america.
It’s pretty widespread in the United States where it’s done by government employees at the municipal and county level I believe. They do use a fair bit of aerial spraying in certain areas though as I understand since there is a high concern of certain diseases being spread in certain areas.
In Canada it’s mostly done by private companies (ironic I know) with a few areas being done by the government, and it’s mostly done just because of nuisance and negative economic effects from outdoor workers and tourism so aerial spraying of chemicals is pretty much not done at all except for one major city which is phasing it out.
If you live anywhere in north America that’s nearby a river, coast, swampland, or significant snowmelt into he spring, you may have a local mosquito control program.
I never even knew the control programs existed until I came across the job postings and got hired, but they are fairly wide spread.
Do you use an entire avocado for your toast?
Where I live it’s $5 a gallon for milk (let’s assume 1/10 gallon for breakfast cereal so $0.50 per bowl)
Then it’s like $1.00 /100g of cereal, so you’re probably looking at $1.50 for a bowl of cheerios.
Where I live I can get avocados for $1.20 each and a loaf of bread for $4.50 (14 slices?) so if I use half an avocado for my slice of toast that’s less than $1.
Where I live I’m looking at a possible $1600 mortgage for a 750sq ft. apartment if I live in a shitty part of town where I may need to replace a window due to stray bullets at some point.
We don’t use aerial spraying, which can cause harm to other insects.
We only use a bacteria that’s put in standing water which only harms mosquitos in their larval form (or biting black flies) and is totally safe for pretty much everything else since it needs very specific biological conditions for it to become toxic, which is only found in the stomachs of mosquitos and black flies.
If you average it out over the year it’s probably a few million per day.
(I work in mosquito control)
Plus I prefer to have things in writing so I don’t forget a small detail, or if someone fucks up and I can point out exactly what I told them needed to be done.
Such a wasted opportunity to design the mine like an ancient underground dwarven city to then use as a major tourist destination after the mine closes down or even sell as a usable and livable underground city.
Is there no worry that a tank can be tracked with GPS?
Like what if they left a tank as bait with an airtag equivalent and then later bomb wherever it gets brought to? Assuming it’s a camp or storage location with other vehicles?
I don’t even understand why I need to make a password for some sites anymore. They send a code to my phone everytime.to make.sure it’s me so it seems like there’s practically no point.
Every update with these new UI changes seems to increase empty wasted space each time
I can see why they no longer call it a planet, what’s the cutoff for asteroid size?
Because that’s where they trick you. They sell you something as if it’s a good deal when really it’s not, and they make a ton of money by selling the same thing to 50 other people.

“LOOK AT THIS ODD COLOURED BEAR POOP YOU TOOK A PHOTO OF 3 YEARS AGO”
Eh, it’s just a service in exchange for money. Just like a massage parlour or spa or doctor or chiropractor or hair stylist. Sex isn’t special.
You need to book it because you are not the only person who “owns” it. Many people do, and usually you can only book like 1-2 weeks a year or something.
Despite paying the full price of an apartment you’re only really buying 1/52 of an apartment
Plus they have you pay a bunch of maintenance fees which can be a few hundred to thousands a year.

Was there a reason it had to be in Manhattan and not like, fuckin Idaho or something?
