Well, I’m not saying that they’re only remembered for the good things. But you’ve almost certainly heard about the good things that Ford’s done as well. What notable good thing will Elon be known for? I can’t think of anything at all.
Let’s see what the great American magnates of the past are remembered for:
All these men were also known as ruthless barons of industry who stamped out those who opposed them without second thought, but at least they also did a fair bit of good to at least try to offset their ills. Elon is just openly a horrible person. History will not be kind to his memory.
Return Merchandise Authorisation. It means to return a product to the seller or to the manufacturer because it is defective, and ask for a replacement.
But OP would still get something.
I know many people think Trump is the best thing that’s happened since sliced bread, but I think it will still be hard to find someone who likes Trump more than they like money. Trump is merely supposed to be a conduit to the money.
UFC fighters might play the part of morons, but they aren’t actually idiots. There’s no way they would allow for that in their contracts.
Urban Dictionary for people who actually want to know what words mean
In my opinion Wiktionary is probably the best English dictionary on the planet and probably the best English to other language dictionary as well.
It seems like others have already given the definition, but I do want to introduce you to the wonderful thing that is Wiktionary.
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/haul_ass
It’s part of the same project as Wikipedia, and it has a very comprehensive compendium of definitions for slang terms.

I’m late, but BK is Burger King, an American fast food hamburger restaurant. They are known for giving foldable cardboard crowns to kids who eat there (see picture).
I don’t believe most people who actually have a driving licence have ever driven a car at its top speed (or if they have, maybe only once or twice on a long, straight stretch of rural motorway with no traffic).
However, my personal observation, at least in my city, is that given the opportunity, people will ride their bikes as fast as their equipment will allow. On straight sections of the bike path which I mentioned in the previous post, bicycle riders will kick their bikes into seventh gear and e-bike riders go full throttle. That path has no legal speed limit, and even if it did, there is no way to enforce it.
45 km/h is still freakishly fast for all but professional cyclists. I do not agree that more restrictions are unnecessary. A simple, paperwork-minimal registration scheme would allow proper accountability for reckless bicycle-riding (which is uncommon but still happens) and would deter theft, especially since e-bikes cost hundreds to thousands of dollars, pounds, or euros. The problem with fast e-bikes (especially those which can accelerate without pedalling) is that they let anyone’s grandmother reach the speeds of professionals without actually being an experienced cyclist. Ideally, there should be three levels:
In the United States, we have a tool to deal with fragmentation in state laws: uniform acts.
They’re not the same as motorcycles though. They’re comparable to motorcycles, but they are not quite the same. There’s no reason to have a binary system. There is a class of bikes which are more than recreational e-bikes but less than full-on motorcycles. There needs to be a class of regulation in between bicycles and slow e-bikes (which should require no registration at all) and motorcycles (which require a special driving licence to operate).
The fact that we don’t “speed cap” any other vehicles isn’t a good argument for not limiting the speed of e-bikes. All arguments for why ordinary personal vehicles shouldn’t have speed governors limiting them to, say, 160 km/h, basically boil down to “It makes me feel bad” or “I think it’s fun to drive fast”.
I’m a bicyclist and I think this is not a bad idea. Class 3 e-bikes have engines which can accelerate to a top speed of nearly 50 km/h which makes them practically slow motorcycles at that point. A collision between a pedestrian and an e-bike accelerated to top speed will send at least one person to the hospital. And the risk of cyclists who blatantly flaunt traffic laws is also present, even though most people in my city tend to follow the law. There’s a bike path in my city which is used as both a commuter route and a recreational route, and some people ride their e-bikes at crazy speeds just centimetres away from children riding their tricycles.
What I wouldn’t support is the extra paperwork burden. Opponents of this law are right when they say that it should be made easier to switch from driving to using an e-bike, not harder. But minimal registration formalities are probably fine, as long as they are made relatively easy. Maybe something like a registration plate which is affixed at the factory and which you have to register using the DMV website or an app. This would also make tracking down stolen bikes easier.
Contabo is cheap but has some weird quirks. I pay about five euros a month. My server got mysteriously rolled by two days and they denied anything happened to it. I restored from backups but it was odd.
I initially thought this was Wikipe-tan. The design is quite similar.
We already have that. In many parts of the developed world, you can get a roof over your head at a homeless shelter free of charge, and soup kitchens will give you enough calories to prevent you from starving to death. You’ll just have to accept a much lower standard of living.
I agree with you on that. Intelligence isn’t a stat point that someone is assigned at character creation. It’s the result of the educational opportunities and support that they had access to growing up.
It’s funny to see this happening to data centres but if we all are honest with ourselves, copper thieves are one of the biggest scourges of the 21st century. I mean, there’s a reason why internet companies write “FIBRE OPTIC NO COPPER” on their equipment.
