The Price of this Candy Bar
Any amount of money for most US 'chocolate' is too much.

That was built in 1570 or so. I do not live there.

If a 1 L lama is a holy man and a 2 L llama is an animal, what is a 3L lllama?
Reply in thread
Car isn't in the sentence, and llama doesn't have the ar suffix, so I'm not sure that helps in any way.
What does llama have to do with a big fire in that accent?

The engine isn't turned on based on the key position, so that's getting ahead of yourself.

People who dress "nicely" to travel through airports, why?
They probably dress nicely most of the time.

These wonderful people are behind LibreOffice, offering a free alternative to Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and Excel. Remarkably, most of them contribute on a completely unpaid volunteer basis

Nor have I. I've also not paid to use office once.

That's literally the mandela effect. It's collective false memory. All archives, including TV commercials do not have a cornucopia as the logo never had one. It's the shaded brown leaves on versions of the logo that people misconstrued. Your brain can easily include a false detail or overwrite a visual memory with a reinforced false one.

Those are bootlegs though, with a logo design likely based on the collective misremembering. They certainly didn't copy the real logo, as it objectively never had a cornucopia.

Is it creepy when lemmings go digging through post votes to see who voted how on different posts and comments?
It's certainly a waste of time.

People who get "happy ending" massages, is there like a common keyword or process?
I mean, you could just book one of the many normal licensed sports therapists instead of the shady wanky ones maybe?

If I see the same post spamming more than two other threads, user gets blocked. Anyone get annoyed seeing 4+ cross posts or more on their feed?

Why would you unsubscribe from a community you like when blocking a single user and still using the community makes much more sense?

China, India, Russia reject EU's carbon tariff as 'punitive measure'
Reply in thread
My job is import and exports of industrial machinery & spares and customs compliance, and I can tell you from experience that the data is not known in most instances. A piece of steel that came from raw material mined in one country, sold by an agent to another, formed and processed in another, and made into a final product in yet another, before being combined with some other parts with similarly contrived history will often have a poor paper trail or estimated figures the closer to source you go. It's a tax the EU has made for not using their raw materials and products.

CBAM is a waste of time. It takes an inordinate amount of time to manage, and the exact data they want is often unobtainable. It simply puts the onus onto developing countries that the EU has benefitted from for many decades. It's a regulatory cartel and slow surreptitious price fixing.

If we flipped the script, and the people working the shittiest jobs in America got Elon Musk money for working what would happen? Then gave the rich the same wage the lowly worker would earn?
It'd probably end up much the same in the system we're in.
