Powered exoskeletons do exist. IDK if most prosthesises are particularly sturdy, the connection to the body (i.e. arm/leg stump) would be a weak point that’s difficult to overcome and most people are probably more interested in fine control.
Wirtschaftlich ergibt es keinen Sinn
Klimaschutz bringt nur dann wirklich was, wenn die meisten Großverschmutzer-Länder mitziehen, ansonsten schießt man seiner Wirtschaft quasi für nichts in den Fuß. Insofern ergibt es schon Sinn, wenn man pessimistisch bzw. realistisch auf andere Länder schaut. Wobei es natürlich so oder so dann Sinn machen würde, für verbindliche, weltweite und effektive Klimaschutzregeln zu lobbyieren, was die deutschen Wirtschaftslobbys natürlich nicht tun.
Why would that land anyone in jail? No one is going to run an illicit coffee shop.
If Seattle is like most places, they only have so many public employees for regulating businesses, and there are many types of usually under-regulated businesses that are actually essential.
That seems really difficult to make sure of, and it doesn’t really seem worth the effort compared to other things that the regulation manpower could be used on.
What does it say about me that I’m not interested in any of the stuff that a lot of money could buy on the black market?
I already pay for most things in cash where possible. But you’re right, not doing regular cash withdrawals might raise suspicions. Looks like for the most part, I’d just use the money for spending more money on groceries, clothes etc.; waste of time TBH, might as well start handing it all out to homeless and charities that take cash donations if I can’t find a way to make a sham business work without putting me in prison.
Interesting thought experiment, actually.
That’s for sure the kind of thing that you don’t want generally known where you got the money from, you don’t want the original owners knocking at your door.
In my parts, cash payment is pretty well-accepted for day-to-day stuff, but bigger stuff is likely going to raise suspicions, and you probably won’t want to involve banks at all so depending on your pre-bush money finances, paying doctors out of pocket is not going to be (easily) possible. So I could use the bush money for shopping (groceries, clothes etc.), get a psychotherapist. Maybe buy illicit drugs, see if that does anything for my issues.
TBH it wouldn’t even improve my general living situation much unless I find a reasonably non-suspicious way to get a relatively large amount of money into a banking account. IDK, start a sham business?
USA: half “serves them right”, half “oh shit”

Bills don’t go away just because you don’t open your letters, they just get more expensive. TBF I knew that from the start, but turning that into action can be a bit difficult.
Also, I’m saving a LOT of money by almost never buying food or drink anywhere other than supermarkets. This happened by accident, but at some point I started wondering why I seem to have so much more money available than most people with a similar income as me.
ty, and dang
That part is definitely great! I wonder if it’s really necessary to have espresso-Hooters, though - seems much easier to eradicate by banning than “classic” prostitution.
I do, but it doesn’t work for either the specific syntax or host they chose.

My desire to own a car is at an all-time low, and it wasn’t that high to begin with.
This looks so annoying to eat. Make it wider, not taller!
Not that shocking. It’s Serbia, after all.
In a shocking twist, company that has sexual objectification of people’s bodies as business model acts unethically in other ways, too.
To expand on this, most stat-raising moves in Pokémon are a complete waste of time, but not this one…
