Because they can be slotted in to work existing machinery without retooling the entire plant.

The streamlined menu makes it so the line goes pretty fast.

Even when it's around the building it'll only take 10 min.

I'm around your same age and have always been told immigrants generally good.

That's not a generational view you have there. I'm willing to bet that immigrant is a synonym for 'not white' by whoever in your past has said this.

It's very easy to replace Israel with another state in the same place without killing or moving everyone.

Israel is an ethnostate. Ethnostates are bad. Ethnostates that are religiously motivated are doubly bad.

Israel could be a secular state that treated all ethnicities equally with zero loss in life or need for anyone to leave the area.

They chose not to.

It's not antisemitism to acknowledge this.

Joke pivots on the interpretation of the word 'address'. In this context it would mean 'how do you handle this problem'.

However, it can also mean 'what is the proper way to refer to something (Ms, Mrs, Your Majesty, etc).

The joke is instead of addressing meaning handle the dangerous situation it means what is the proper way to refer to the elephant.

Keep in mind that depending on the type of eye issue they may not need them all the time. In this example the person only needs then to read and it might actually make their vision worse to wear them when not.

You can if they were mp3s instead of audio tracks!

Most cd players are able to handle both since like 2003.

It's true, game prices today are the same as they have been for the past 40 years for AAA titles.

I can't think of an industry which hasn't had a price raise in decades.

Gaming had managed to get by on this thanks to increasing market volume as gaming became more mainstream in addition to extra revenue streams like micro transactions. But it's hitting saturation now and won't keep counteracting inflation forever

Yes, it's generally considered rude to switch languages specifically to hide your conversation.

It's because most will assume you are doing it to talk shit.
