Are you actually arguing exploitation is necessary? That any system treating all people fairly will result in everybody starving?

Feel free to let others exploit you, I will keep trying for the fair system

I don't think it is correct either, but consider this:

If the family is native american/settled before the civil war, but a single person married into the family who immigrated later, then the whole branch of the family tree falls under "immigrant in living memory".

Since no arena is specified I assume it to be the only logical place.

In space! (the winner is brought back to their natural habitat)

Everything else would be unfair to at least one of the parties.

I think the ants would outlast all the animals and insects. They might freeze solid and (some) might survive the unfreezing after the figh. Or they could form a giant ball where the ones in the middle survive. And who cares if 19kg die.

On the other hand, the oak would probalby last weeks and could sprout new leaves and roots again if given proper treatment back on earth.

So ... GO TREE!

They asked me how well I understood theoretical physics.

I said, I had a theoretical degree in physics.

Yes but "the biggest problem" is most certainly not the lack of insurance for the daughter. Its a untrained child playing with the live of a patient.

If somemebody drills a hole into my skull I dont give a shit about their insurance.

Insurance protects them not me. This is absolutely about the doctor putting the patient into a huge unnecessary risk without the patients consent.

Can't get it anymore. It is a controlled substance now because it is so highly addictive. Many people can never quit. Just look at how many google searches there are for "how to quit vim"!

Who defines "good hands"?

How do you assure the dictator stays good (corruption, dementia, general personality shift)?

What happens if the dictator is no longer good (died, see above, the world has changed and the dictator can not adapt)?

Sure the dictator can assign ministers for topics outside of their skillset and similar and a head physician to determine when a replacement is needed due to health reasons etc, but a dictatorship is always unnacountable. What if the physician coludes with the vice-dictator to declare the dictator unfit? What if the dictator is actually unfit but accuses the physician of colusion? It has no safety checks against its rulers other than revolution and coup.

Democracy has flaws but so does dictatorship and they are not limited to "what if dictator evil"

Its not about getting money. Its about, in that case Sony geting a clear "this decision cost us money".

No!

That means people are still buying and using the device. This is a case for returning the product to Amazon/the store you brought it from citing the product is no longer fit for purpose because of changes made by the seller/manufacturer. If you live in a sensible country (sorry US) this should work.

This only stops if there is a clear and attributable loss of sales/increase in returns.

But what does that mean? Does Australia span all timezones? Take its zone of UTC+9:30 and then go all the way around the globe to the east until you hit UTC+8 which is also Australia. Congrats you passed through all timezones and are in Australia again.

In germany the lottery is state owned and the tax is applied before money is added to the jackpot. So if the jackpot is 50mil you get 50mil
