Three American cities are in the top ten worldwide in fear of getting pickpocketed.

Source: https://matadornetwork.com/read/worst-us-cities-for-pickpockets/

Pickpocketing is happening in every major US city with numbers rising from year to year:

So US citizens thinking they're superior when they arent.

But in the end, I believe it's the car centered cities that keep numbers relatively low. No puclic transport and less people at one place= less pickpockets.

Isnt a crash in the housing market a good thing for the average person?

The crisis happened because everyone got credits to buy a house, even if they shouldnt, and banks made money by betting against them ever paying it back. This caused a huge bubble that had to burst.

It was more a housing-credit crash than anything else.

Sure, it's bad for people wanting to sell their house to make profits, but it's good for people that want to buy a house.

That makes sense. I was completely focused on only the device.

While they both interchange heat, the principle of evaporators and radiators is different.

The condenser and the evaporator are both evaporators

Did you add that to prove yourself wrong?

They should just answer one question: Will Subnautica 2 have microtransactions under the new leadership?

They want to own everything, even the people.

Theyre living in their power fantasy and are willing to destroy everything to gain more of it.

People have been out for him since the WoW drama where he as a self proclaimed genius and WoW god did everything wrong and left his mates out to die.

They dug into him and found that he's a master at bullshitting and pretending to find solutions to puzzles, that he obviously did google.

He might be a furry and also changes his voice to sound more masculine. He claimed to have received tens of thousands of death threats after the wow drama, which is highly unlikely.

He never admit fault but always doubles down.

All of that combined brought out the biggest of hate boners in people.

It's definitely easy and justified to dislike him, but he's not Hitler or something. He's just unlikable for bullshitting all day, but doesn’t deserve real hate.

People don't do themselves a favour by having such a low bar for literally hating someone. They will just get controlled by their hate.

There's no radiator, it's a heat exchanger.

You have two sections in your heat exchanger. One part wants the cooling agent cold so it can effectively imterchange heat from your room into the cooling liquid. The other part wants the cooling agent hotter than the air outside so it can effectively dissipate the heat to the outside. To achieve that the liquid gets compressed. On the cold side it gets cooled with airflow.

I don't think sunlight will change anything significant in that mechanism.

I doubt it will make it more efficient. The air it sucks in is still the same temperature.

It might help with longevity of the device itself though, as it doesn’t stand in direct sunlight.

It needs way more people, because I guess a lot of people from all over the world used VPNs to sign the petition and will get nullified.

So if you planned to do it, don't, you will hurt your goals more than you're doing an good.

 

[...] In a phone call to UDC leader Duma Boko, President Mokgweetsi Masisi conceded and congratulated his opponent.

Despite overseeing a dramatic change in Botswana, recent poor economic growth and high unemployment dented the BDP’s popularity.

The party "had got it wrong big time", Masisi told a press conference.

"I will respectfully step aside and participate in a smooth transition process ahead of inauguration. I am proud of our democratic processes and I respect the will of the people."

He has urged his supporters to remain calm and rally behind the new government.

Speaking to Boko on the phone, the outgoing president said: "You can count on me to always be there to provide whatever guidance you might want."

In his first comments to the media since the outcome was clear, Boko, a 54-year-old former human rights lawyer, said: "What has happened today takes our democracy to a higher level. It now means we've seen a successful, peaceful, orderly democratic transition." [...]

[...]It was the first conviction of a Louisville police officer who was involved in the deadly raid.

Some members of the jury were in tears as the verdict was read around 9:30 p.m. They had earlier indicated to the judge in two separate messages that they were deadlocked on the charge of using excessive force on Taylor, but chose to continue deliberating. The six man, six woman jury deliberated for more than 20 hours over three days. [...]

In their analysis, the researchers found no significant differences in conspiracy mentality between the autistic group and the general population. Both groups scored similarly, indicating that being autistic does not inherently affect one’s general susceptibility to conspiracy beliefs.

This finding suggests that conspiracy mentality is not linked with autism, contradicting two potential hypotheses the researchers explored: one that autism might increase susceptibility to conspiracy beliefs due to common experiences of social exclusion, and another that autism might offer a type of protection against these beliefs due to cognitive characteristics associated with autism, such as analytical thinking.
