Just because things don't turn out how you hoped doesn't mean you didn't make the right decision at the time with the information that was available.
Too often we judge past actions only through the lens of hindsight. It's useful for learning what went wrong but it's not useful for judging if something was the right decision or not.
Aside from some fish which evolved with no eyes (which is kind of cool), the only other thing you are likely to find down there is a dead body that everyone decided was too dangerous to recover.
The crux is here.
Then I'll do something else that pays more.
What separates skilled from unskilled labor is that the unskilled labor force have no skills to do something else that pays more.
While I support the idea that every job should pay a living wage, the idea that there shouldn't be a difference in pay based on the rarity of the skillset of the employee of question just isn't workable in am open market society.
It's things like this that prevent me from using Linux more.
I force myself to use it for projects where it's an option because I feel I need to learn it better but I kind of dread it every time.
Inevitably I'm stuck frustrated reading conflicting guides from years ago and wondering just how badly I'm going to fuck things up this time.
Sometimes it all feels so esoteric.
Never unfortunately.
It's been three years since season 3 and there has been not been a word about another season from Hulu.
My personal theory is that McFarlane signing on with NBC bruised the ego of an executive who had a say in the renewal process and this is petty revenge.
His contact with Disney (acquired when they bought Fox) expired, Seth got the offer from NBC and Disney refused to do better.
While a general contract with Disney isn't required for him to do another season of Orville, the negotiations falling through probably soured the relationship there.
His animated shows make enough money to drag Disney to the table but Orville doesn't pull in the same money for the cost.
And my guess would be Marcy being Polaski
My gas hot water heater does not have an electric start.
I don't have a basement.
I have a crawlspace, the plumbing is all in the crawlspace.
Water doesn't need to be pumped up from the crawlspace because the lines are under pressure from the city main.
Now, if the city water distribution system was down I wouldn't have fresh water, but there are zero water pumps in my home.
As for sewage, the sewer lines are below all my plumbing, so gravity is enough to drain them.
And if you were German in the 1940s, you'd see everybody to the east of Germany as dangerous "Jewish Bolshevists" that must be exterminated at every cost.
False equivalency. Eastern European Jews never stated their intention was to exterminate the German people and they never carried out acts of violence in furtherance of that goal.
This statement reads like you don't believe Israel has any kind of legitimate security concern in Hamas, which we both know is insane.
Either way, my 'both-sideism' is mostly the ability to be empathetic to the situation both sides are in currently.
If I were a Palestinian in Gaza, I would be pissed at essentially being born into an open air prison with the boots of another that hates me in my neck all my life. I would be willing to fight, however I could, to strike back at my jailers.
If I were an Israeli, I'd see Gaza as filled with dangerous people who want to exterminate me an my family. I would ideally want them gone, but knowing that's not possible, id want them kept as non threatening as possible in their cage.
Neither side is wrong; if I were Israel I wouldn't want any kind of solution that empowers a group whose stated goal is my death. And I can't blame the anger of the residents of Gaza for their treatment over the decades.
Because I hate typing on mobile devices I don't like texting.
If you try to have a conversation with me over text Imma either call you if it's important or start giving you one word answers to everything.
Thankfully most people know better than to try and communicate with me in general!
It was all part of an effort to economically hurt Russia in response to the war.
Best case scenario was Russia deciding the hit to their economy was not worth the war and back pedaling. No one realistically thought this was going to happen though.
The next best case scenario was for the changes in quality of life for the average Russian would create enough internal pressure that the war would be called off.
This hasn't happened yet but internal support for the war has been dropping over the last year and some of that is attributed to the dismal state of the Russian economy, which is a direct result of things like Lush pulling out.

And even if neither of these come up fruition, the more Russias economy is damaged the harder it is to fund their war effort. This gives Ukraine a bit more breathing room in their war effort.
While the effect of a single company like Lush is unnoticed, it's the collective effect of everything from these pullouts, to trade sanctions and other soft power diplomatic plays which total up to a noticable effect.
