I certainly do not trust the state's justice, therefore I can't trust them to execute someone even if we entertain he idea that executing someone is justified.

The extra stupid part of CV is that improvements wear out and depreciate... yet the house I live was probably built for $40k in the 80's and is CV'd at ten time that.
Apparently I'm taxed based on the replacement cost, which is only of practical importance to my insurer.

Oh, totally OK with that idea.
I'll still mourn the loss of what could have been though.

I'm starting to unironically like Tarot
But drawing three at the end of the day and seeing how I’ll interpret them has been very meditative and actually kind of a good way to figure out the things that weigh on my mind without realizing.
Whatever tools work.
I often think that, sometimes, any (voluntary) structure is better than none.

Wanting to kill someone and wanting someone to be killed are quite different.
Wanting someone to face justice and wanting them dead are also quite different.

Cash-poor, house-rich: The retirement dilemma driving reverse mortgages
the problem was made worse because some of their investments overseas could not be cashed up to cover the deficit – except at a huge loss due to the war in the Middle East.
Boo friggity hoo. Your oil investments are not quite valuable enough to liquidate? Fuck off.
"We live in Wellington and the market’s not good right now."
Oh, so you could sell you house, but not for what you think it's worth? Fuck off.
"But it has given us some time to stay in the house and be able to go overseas to see our family."
You're cash-poor enough to not afford a holiday overseas.
JFC.

which Airbus addressed through design changes on planes produced later.
As opposed to the Boeing's assassinations.
... before their thirteenth flight, that is, 25 cycles, with one cycle consisting of a flight, a takeoff, and a landing.

The Lux episode was bad enough.
But, by all means, enshittify one of the few TV shows I actually enjoy.

shouldn’t officially be labeled as a fascist country?
There's no 'official' registry of fascist states.
To be clear, it's still a fascist shit hole.

About $1AUD per share for ANZ and Westpac for their upcoming dividend.
Obviously the RoI is more complicated. But a S&P 500 index ETF is about a 12th of that per share.
