If they could remember they wouldn't keep making the same mistake multiple times. But I guess no danger of that.

I can think a moving buzzsaw is dangerous, but also think your plan to stop it with your hands is gonna make things worse.

I may be in the market for a new car soon, which I hope to keep for at least a decade, so this kind of thing bothers me. I don't want to buy something that's already years behind on efficiency.

I think that's the point - to discourage (certain) people from living there at all. Except it turns out people are capable of never-ending suffering and persevering through it.

You would think Israelis would already know this very well.


Grieving for a pet is totally a thing. Comparing its importance to that of a child might be taking it a little far. Nothing would compare to losing a child.


I agree with you. I can imagine that people without children that have pets might feel like it's similar, but there's definitely quite a few several hundreds of thousand of years of evolution driving very distinct reactions.

Losing a child must, by force of nature, be much more difficult to handle than even a 20+ year relationship with one's dearest horse or Galapagos turtle or tiger cub or something.

It is interesting to think about, in any case.


We also don't allow cloning children, no matter how much you miss them. It's an ethical quagmire, and doesn't really address the problem (dealing with grief is hard, transplanting that grief onto a surrogate creates more problems)


Been using Zoho for years with no issues. Both via the web interface and IMAP.


Putin is a traitor to Russia but there he is still, 25 years on with no end in sight. The public is too easy to manipulate.


A couple of tiny steps between the likes of Venezuela and Greenland and China though, eh?

Not exactly a sentence you would hope to hear...


This is ridiculous. A burger is a construct.

Sure, you can't call a veggie patty a beef patty, but how does the meat industry own the word burger?


So they sold their account to a fraudster who also moved into their old address? Sure, it's possible but now verging on the ridiculous.

They can use common sense for the refund. They are just choosing not to.


the real reason is that adding friction to returns decreases them in general - even legitimate ones.


You don't know they sold their account to a fraudster. You only know that the delivery address changed. That's a very weak signal.
