You don't want to manage a decimal point but you are fine adding two set of units? Like in 6'3?

Are you American? A country that is using something called civil forfeiture? I think the joke is on you.

He has been selling a lot of Tesla stocks through the life of the company (not that it matters to him as other shareholders are giving him load of free shares all the time).

The flagging system on HN is really not efficient and often abused.

Oh really the same usual bullshit about EU? Can you tell me who is voting for a French or UK prime minister or a German chancellor? Who is voting for the federal council member in Switzerland? Yeah all this countries are governed by unelected people like the EU… EU commission is confirmed by the EU parliament in the same as most of the executive of the EU countries.

You cannot have free trade without a common legal framework otherwise countries will just drop all norms to compete. If you think that you can have fred trade in Europe without this legal alignment I have a bridge to sell you.

My wife grandmother made it to 102 and when she died (from an infection)it was a surprise as she was still very active and was walking everyday. Genetics and luck play also a big role.

In Saudi Arabia they just disappear or are even executed in total secrecy. They even execute women that were raped… https://reprieve.org/uk/2023/01/31/saudi-arabia-and-the-deat... And please have a look at your index, if there a broken one it is this one https://hdr.undp.org/data-center/thematic-composite-indices/... In 2013 Saudi Arabia went from almost last to ahead of countries like Cuba… Cuba may not be a great country but female don’t need a perpetual male tutor to do anything.

3 years ago Saudi Arabia set into its law (on the international women’s day) that a male relative always have control on a woman. A few years ago only, women were allowed to drive but as of today they are very few female drivers. But that’s not the point, the point is the hypocrisy to point at a political regime because he his not aligned with your views while having as a best friend the worst absolute monarchy.

They don’t care about the regime, they only want it to be aligned with the US and Israel. The Saudi absolute monarchy regime (something that is way worst than the Iranian one) that is directly coming from middle ages, doesn’t get the same journalistic treatment in the US. Women rights in Iran are lightyears ahead of what is happening in Saudi Arabia. But who cares? Talking about Iran regime change only is pure hypocrisy when your best friend in the region can kill anyone by just deciding it.
