The only place a white person may have a problem is if they go to the ghettos. Stay in the tourist areas or suburbs and you won't have a problem. You won't have a problem in 99.9% of the country.
It isn't about you being white, it is you being an easy target to get robbed and going to areas with more poor desperate people who would rob someone who clearly has no business being there.
What do you mean by bright skin? Are you white and pale?
High stretch paintable silicone with low shrink. Tape on the ceiling and the bookcase revealing the gap and an appropriate sized fondant tool can minimize the transition and give a clean look but the tape and a wet finger can do well enough.
Like I said, scale at check-in.
I don't. I stopped flying a few years after 9/11 because I despise the TSA, being confined with inconsiderate people, and love road trips. If flying was what it was like in the 90s, I would be more inclined to fly.
Stand on a scale with all your bags at check-in. No issue.
The only viable option to maintain the look is to seal up the flue and then you have to coat over the firebox if you don't want the soot stained brickwork exposed.
That is probably a coal burning fireplace so it is very shallow, most I have seen are 14" or less deep. It is kind of silly to have a little nook fake real fireplace. I would have just walled it off and been glad to lose an inch on one wall if I couldn't afford to renovate my century house.
That is true, but if her plus her luggage weights the same as him and his luggage, they should pay the same. If they don't, their ticket price should reflect that.
Being overweight is not a protected class in the US, EU, or England. Some states and cities have laws that do prohibit weight based discrimination.
There is no discrimination going on anyways when charging based on weight. You are contributing 300lbs of cargo and that cargo cost more than 200lbs of cargo to transport.
Here is the thing about the fireplace.
On an old house like that where they burned wood and coal, it probably isn't lined in any way. So it is raw brick without a ceramic "tile" going through it. Over time the mortar between the bricks deteriorate and creosote builds in the gaps between the bricks. That is a fire hazard and there is no way to remove that creosote. Using chemicals can dissolve the creosote, but then you also remove what is holding the bricks in place, which means the chimney structure is even more compromised and can cause collapse.
Selling a house with a known compromised chimney that is open and appears functional without disclosing the state of the chimney can open you up to legal issues. You can't really feature the chimney/fireplace as part of the listing either, even if you disclose the state of it, because you will be dealing with lower offers.
So a gas burner, even a high efficiency one, can cause a fire hazard.
Leaving it open and just putting decorative wood on a log holder is a nightmare because creosote will fall down as the temperature changes and you may be constantly cleaning creosote or staining your carpet with difficult to remove stains. A lot of those old fireplaces are shallow and have the flue opening towards the front instead of being set back with a "smoke shelf" under it with a modern fireplace, so creosote can easily fall feet into the room.
Your options are to tear down the entire fireplace and chimney, ripping apart walls and spending tens of thousands of dollars, possibly reaching to the 5 figure range on a house like that. Alternatively you cap the top, throw some slate over the opening or wall it off and let some poor bastard in the future spend the money on getting a functioning chimney.
They made the practical choice, and I support it, even if it is not pretty.
There is a time to reap and a time to sow.
No it wouldn't, if the industry as a whole started pricing based on weight, travellers aren't going to start taking trains and ships.
If a minority of airlines didn't switch, they would get more passengers that would save money by going with them and would ultimately fail in the market.
If a minority of airlines switched, they would decrease costs and very few people would decide against saving money on airfair on principle.
The big airlines switching would have a new means to increase profits and decrease costs, which they love.
Yes, the media will drag them through the mud and social media would have a tantrum, but the airlines would profit because nobody is going to decide 3 days on a train is better than 6 hours on a plane.
I expect him to link obesity and diabetes to autism because of the studies from Hopkins, and others, that have seen a 4x increased likelihood of autism if both parents are obese and have diabetes. A NIH study seems to refute that conclusion, but they didn't take into account diabetes and only looked at obesity.
What he would suggest being done about that is anybody's guess, but I would like to see HFCS to be greatly reduced from our diets.
Airlines should charge a passenger based on weight. More weight means more fuel and more wear and tear, meaning higher costs.
They would make more money in America and the UK, how they don't capitalize on those untapped profits makes no sense.
This. Now they will move to another chan and Reddit, until they banned there.
It was definitely a fun movie. The premise has plenty to work with, but I expect them to trope the sequel.
Lemonparty.org if you are in the US.
Bluewaffle.tech if EU.
They also are the dumbest generation with a COVID education handicap and the least technological literacy in terms of mechanics comprehension. They have grown up with technology that is refined enough to not need to learn troubleshooting skills past "reboot it".
How they don't understand that a LLM can't be conscious is not surprising. LLMs are a neat trick, but far from anything close to consciousness or intelligence.
Define "clean".
