Even if it was, the principle that because a building didn’t fall down for a while it needs to remain forever is not one worth defending. Take pictures.

It was a crushing disappointment for me. I know Handler was trying for an ambiguous ending that doesn’t provide all the answers, but I found it incredibly unsatisfying and a lousy way to end a children’s series.

Is there a good argument that this approach is better than simply slapping a large tax on foreign streaming operators and distributing the proceeds to public services or even individual Australians?
In practice, this seems to have a similar effect but directs all the subsidies to a specific niche industry.

I love these books, but I have no idea how you make a series about them. They’re sprawling, complex, and the prose style is part of the charm.

You’re not defining “meta” and seem to be using it very broadly, so hard to say (it’s also not an acronym, so don’t capitalize it). But it’s very subjective - someone suggested Rick and Morty but its meta episode are highly controversial.

Reply to comment by la-fours in Rather than heralding a new era of prosperity for rural and remote regions, remote working, inspired by the pandemic, is exacerbating the global urban-rural divide in the digital platform labour market by giuliomagnifico
The study is still making the same fairly obvious points, though: remote work is mostly about white collar jobs and still requires technology to be effective, both of which are relatively more scarce in rural or poorer locations. That is equally true at the country or count level.

I love this… but maybe add “1950-2022” below Rubeus Hagrid?

OP is implying that SVB went under because they were doing something illicit.
Sadly, the real reason - some bad investment decisions, poor communication, and a whole lot of bad luck - is a lot more boring.
