I hate the stock.

This is investment advice.

Patriot isn’t limited to missile interception.

Depends on where you live. Rural areas often don’t get free trash pickup.

FYI that 4.15% is annual not per month. Per month it would be the greatest financial deal in history lol

China has a working HSR system connecting all their major cities. The fact that their population scale is so massive means they also try weird shit to get what they can.

Japan is very narrow but it’s also very long. The actual amount of miles a train much cover from one end to the other is very large.

Yes the EU is not one country (though it is a polity). That should make it harder, not easier to cover it with rail, and yet there’s rail lines connecting all the major cities crossing national borders. Does the “size” counter reset once you cross a line on the map?

It’s not the size, it’s the political organization. You even hint at this when describing how we paved America: the political and economic configuration was aligned to make it happen despite the massive cost. The USA was crisscrossed by passenger rail and street cars, and still is for cargo. We just took a different path later, but it doesn’t actually have to be that way.

China has tons of it.

So does Russia.

Japan isn’t “small” (it’s the length of California) and has tons of it.

The EU is pretty big and all interconnects.

Size isn’t the issue. It certainly hasn’t prevented us from paving half our country.

Apple users do have a choice. Apple isn't the only game in town. If those users disagree with Apple and want Tate shit, they can use a different platform.

You should strive for the body you want, not what others want. If bigger boobs better match how you see yourself, then absolutely go for it. But do it for you, not us. It's like trans people having work done to better match how they feel inside; it's not really about others, it's how about they feel when they look in a mirror and what they see matches their mental model. Do what you feel is right.

apt dist-upgrade will sometimes resolve this.
