Bodycam video shows Illinois cop shooting ~~unarmed~~ 14-year-old ~~suspected of breaking a window~~

Tell the story for what it. A police officer shot a child. What they were or weren't suspected of, whether they had a weapon or not, doesn't matter.

Nothing would change. For a start, PA doesn't control gaza so can't service it, and secondly israel and Egypt are both blockading Gaza. Independent Gaza would continue to have nothing.

What is a prepaid sim card?

 

I do recognise that a lot of it is probably just playing up for the joke, but I assume it has to come from somewhere. I regularly see posts where basically Person A sends an odd image/message, then follows up with "wrong number, sorry" and Person B responds with "wait stay".

Do Americans, as a rule, not save phone numbers? Or is it purely a bit that has become a trope?

I think we can take some solace from the fact that it took Spurs almost 100 minutes, two wrongly called off/onside calls, and an own goal, to beat 9 men.

If Motorsport Manager has taught me anything running at a £2,5m deficit per race is high but not abnormal

That's true, though I can't say for the US, in the UK, inflation is still ridiculously calculated. Jack Monroe went on a mini crusade about it, because staples like pasta and rice weren't included, but champagne was.

This is the correct take. Unfortunately, there seems to be an overwhelming sense of "fuck you, I got mine" amongst a lot of people meaning they'd rather kick other people down than get pushed up.

We should be fine regardless, but Austria, France and Belgium? Christ that's a good draw.

I'm not particularly a food prescriptivist, but this isn't aglio e olio. By all means crack on, but with prawns and tomatoes in it? Not a aglio e olio in my book.

So then why not have a system that works for the 90% of people who are employees?

Are there that many self employed? Most other countries seem to handle this the, imo, sensible way, where employees are auto-taxed, and the self employed file their own.
