Do your landlords not have any requirements to provide even a communal washing machine? In Sweden, and probably most other countries, the law says you have to have it within reasonable distance, otherwise the apartment isn't considered "livable".

Does he really think $500M would significantly change a city? As if the city would get any part of it, or that Dubai is something to desire...

But then I'm going to get even more blood on me?

Am I misunderstanding what pull cords are, or why not have it so the two strings can separate easily? The two strings in my blinds "snap" together so that it's easy to raise/lower the blinds, but the strings separate very easily from each other if applying force in any other kind of way (would be impossible for a child to accidently hang themselves with it for example)

Should, but laws outlawing toplessness are almost always upheld by the courts, unfortunately.

"Protecting the public sensibilities from the public display of areas of the body traditionally viewed as erogenous zones — including female, but not male, breasts — is an important government objective."

We'd see some real trickle-down in that case.

All I see are some hands...? You need to clean your dirty mind!

Well, yeah, because they initiated the code to verify it was you who called them. Better than them asking your "security questions" or such. It's a completely different situation if you got an incoming call who asks for that.

There's nothing illegal about downloading streams, but if the purpose of your downloads is to get fraudulent royalties, then of course it's illegal as wire fraud under 18 U.S.C. § 1343.

but totally fine when so many other media companies do it?

Do other media companies create fake streams?

Fraud is the crime of obtaining money or property by deceiving people. He deceived streaming platforms, as he botted his songs in order to earn royalties.

The whole "AI" thing is irrelevant; it'd be the same situation if he manually produced all his music.

I'm not a rail expert, but I thought for some reason that rails without electricity would be too old/unmaintained to be allowed to serve passenger traffic, lol.

40 minutes? I would have imagined that everyone would hop off at the station, they'd then drive out to a parking junction, and then drive back the electric train to the station for people to load in again. Isn't it also very expensive to take the train (you're from the US I assume)? Not weird that no one wants to take it when it's in such bad situations :/

If you're already laying tracks, why not lay electricity as well?
