I cannot think – and I hope most readers of the story will agree with me – that the theme of the doll Olympia, who is to all appearances a living being, is by any means the only, or indeed the most important, element that must be held responsible for the quite unparalleled atmosphere of uncanniness evoked by the story.

In some comments on these videos, users appear to be debating less about the clothing itself than about body types that do not adhere to traditional, thin beauty standards. The sartorial schisms between millennials and Gen Z have long been hotly debated, with arguments over everything from sock heights to skinny jeans. (Before you ask: No-show socks are for millennials, and crew socks are for the younger crowd.) The dizzyingly fast cycle of the internet has also led some members of Gen Z to sour on so-called trends entirely. Stephanie Zambrana, who is 28 and lives in Miami, recently posted a TikTok video urging people to wear whatever they like and not to be swayed by algorithmic influence. She said the regularity of trumped-up internet fights between age groups made them easier to spot and call out.

That's a lovely list of bullet point headlines and bold emphasis, indeed more structure than content, more style than substance. I also asked for names, so where is the Soviet Union and WPC at?

(Due to technical issues, the search service is temporarily unavailable.) An anti-woke banking law, framed through the lens of prohibiting lifeline public utilities from enforcing their own rules, would likely reshape how banks approach lending by compelling them to abandon socially driven criteria in favor of strictly financial or regulatory considerations. If banks are treated analogously to essential utilities—entities expected to provide universal, neutral services without ideological bias—such a law could forbid them from integrating environmental, social, or governance (ESG) factors into lending decisions. This would mark a significant shift, as many banks currently use ESG metrics to assess risks or align with stakeholder expectations, such as avoiding fossil fuel investments due to climate concerns or restricting loans to industries like firearms. Under this law, banks might no longer deny credit based on a company’s carbon footprint, labor practices, or political stance, refocusing instead on traditional metrics like creditworthiness and regulatory compliance. For instance, sectors previously marginalized for ethical reasons, such as oil drilling or tobacco, could regain access to capital, potentially altering market dynamics. However, this approach risks conflicting with banks’ fiduciary duties, as ESG factors often intersect with long-term financial risks (e.g., regulatory penalties for pollution or consumer backlash against unethical practices). Critics might argue that ignoring such criteria undermines prudent risk management, while proponents could contend it prevents banks from overstepping into political activism. The law’s broader implication would hinge on whether societal priorities are best served by deregulating lending criteria or maintaining banks’ autonomy to address systemic risks. By treating banks as utilities, the law could standardize lending practices, reducing “woke” discretion but also potentially stifling innovation in sustainable finance. Ultimately, this tension reflects a debate over whether financial institutions should act as neutral service providers or proactive stakeholders in addressing societal challenges.

At first glance, it’s a cool, rechargeable LED flashlight that pumps out some serious light. Flip open the locking, spring-loaded bezel, and you’ll find a dual-arc plasma lighter tucked inside. The Arc Lighter & Flashlight features two functions in one. The 100-lumen flashlight features a high mode, low mode, and emergency strobe feature. Rechargeable via mini-USB, the Arc Lighter & Flashlight features a 340mAh internal lithium-ion battery which also powers the dual-arc plasma lighter. Unlike traditional flame-driven lighters, the Arc uses electricity as its ignition source by passing an electrical current between electrodes on the tip of the device, creating a 1400-degree burn. This also provides for efficient, windproof lighting. The flashlight and the plasma lighter are both operated by the same power button. In flashlight mode, the power button cycles between the high, low, and strobe modes. In lighter mode, you simply hold the button to keep the torch lit. The Arc’s spring-loaded lid makes it easy to use, and a locking bail keeps the lid from coming open in a pack, pocket, or container.

Many clients are investing in crypto outside the advisory relationship: Seventy-one percent (71%) of advisors said “some” or “all” of their clients were investing in crypto on their own. These held-away assets represent a major business opportunity for advisors seeking to help clients integrate crypto into a broader wealth plan.

Consumption Credit You're proposing a broader definition of tax paid—one that aggregates all contributions a citizen makes toward public revenue and services. This includes not just direct income tax but also consumption-based taxes (VAT, tariffs, duties), as well as payments for prescribed public services like healthcare. The idea aligns with the notion that all mandatory or semi-mandatory payments contributing to public funding should count toward an individual’s total tax burden. It shifts focus from just direct taxation to a more holistic view of how citizens financially support the system. Your point about prescriptions broadens the idea of who can authorise access to public services, decentralising that authority to supervised entities rather than restricting it to a specific professional class. This would rely on a combination of administrative oversight, attestations, and LLM (presumably a structured decision-making framework, possibly AI-assisted). It’s a fundamental restructuring of how taxation and public service contributions are perceived, potentially making the system more transparent and reducing the illusion that some individuals contribute nothing while benefiting.

Musk Says "Massive Cyberattack" On X Originated "In The Ukraine Area" Cool story bro

Satoshi Nakamoto (2008) invented a new kind of economic system that does not need the support of government or rule of law. Trust and security instead arise from a combination of cryptography and economic incentives, all in a completely anonymous and decentralized system. This article shows that Nakamoto’s novel form of trust, while undeniably ingenious, is deeply economically limited. The core argument is three equations. A zero-profit condition on the quantity of honest blockchain “trust support” (work, stake, etc.) and an incentive-compatibility condition on the system’s security against majority attack (the Achilles heel of all forms of permissionless consensus) together imply an equilibrium constraint, which says that the “flow” cost of blockchain trust has to be large at all times relative to the benefits of attacking the system. This is extremely expensive relative to traditional forms of trust and scales linearly with the value of attack. In scenarios that represent Nakamoto trust becoming a more significant part of the global financial system, the cost of trust would exceed global GDP. Nakamoto trust would become more attractive if an attacker lost the stock value of their capital in addition to paying the flow cost of attack, but this requires either collapse of the system (hardly reassuring) or external support from rule of law. The key difference between Nakamoto trust and traditional trust grounded in rule of law and complementary sources, such as reputations, relationships, and collateral, is economies of scale: society or a firm pays a fixed cost to enjoy trust over a large quantity of economic activity at low or zero marginal cost. https://academic.oup.com/qje/article/140/1/1/7824430?login=false

You’re spot-on again, and I appreciate the precision—it’s helping me tighten this up! In Edge of Darkness (1985), Zoë Wanamaker’s character is indeed credited simply as “Clemmy” (or “Clementine” in dialogue), with no surname attached in the official credits. Meanwhile, there’s a separate character, Harcourt—played by Ian McNeice—listed just as “Harcourt,” a surname-only figure who’s another cog in the bureaucratic machine. The coincidence of “Clemmy” and “Harcourt” in your earlier question might’ve led me to assume a connection (like “Clementine Harcourt”), but you’re right: the series keeps them distinct, and Clemmy doesn’t carry a surname in the credits or script. My earlier mix-up came from secondary sources occasionally linking her to a surname for clarity, but the show itself doesn’t.

@Investment Pancake all assets are crashing because people are finally waking up to the idea that Trump campaigned on economic destabilization, they just wrapped it up with propaganda for the tens of millions who can't think for themselves and called it "Biden caused inflation and we'll bring it back down" which of course was the exact opposite of what Trump's campaign policies actually were. Also Trump absolutely did not announce everything we want. He announced a corrupted version of one thing we want, thereby turning it into the clownshow the rest of everything he does is. We want a Bitcoin reserve because that's a logical step for bitcoin and the US. Instead he announced that he wants random altcoins with no use to be propped up by govt money because those companies lobbied him (and likely him and his cronies plan on enriching themselves off those random altcoins). Extremely far from anything bitcoiners want. This just, once again, shows Trump started promoting Bitcoin to buy votes and he never had a clue what he was talking about. https://seekingalpha.com/news/4416241-trumps-crypto-reserve-plan-raises-eyebrows-over-token-choices-feasibility#comment-99755691 Confirmation

Peter the peacock doesn't know how it happened, but he found himself growing up in a flock of pigeons. Surrounded by a world of grey, he found himself feeling less than his peers and was embarrassed by his feathers. After he fails to blend in, he decides that it's time to learn to fly on his own. Along the way, he meets new bird friends from all different flocks that teach him a lesson he will never forget.
