If I had seen the printed name I would use the Peruvian pronunciation not knowing any better. I got the correct one from the article and given the topic felt it was a playful and appropriate tweak of the spelling so others might know too.
Interesting story. I believe that Kia dealer in “Lie-ma” is going to offer her a free car.
If they decide to go to court over the dealer name, which she now owns, the legal process may turn over stones and shine too much light on them. Dealerships don’t like to do that. Even this “repo” or recovery could be a variation of a “yo-yo” scam, but they’d have to be working with the finance company for that to work in this case, I think. Still a maybe. For now, she’s out a car and if she had a trade-in that’s likely gone too. But I think that will change soon enough. Good on her!
This incident likely would not have happened without Israel’s actions against the Palestinian people. By totally ignoring that, you seem to be defending famine and genocide. Right?
People will tend to vent their frustrations where they are. They aren’t buying tickets to Palestine to fight the Israelis against genocide and famine there.
Did I say it was “okay”? I didn’t, but the blame of Jewish ire should be focused properly. On Israel and Netanyahu.
Commenting on the incident, Noemi Di Segni, the president of the Union of Italian Jewish Communities, said: “If simply being visibly Jewish is enough to provoke such a violent attack – if a family cannot safely move through public spaces in this country – then the legitimisation of hatred and antisemitism has become viral. This is about everyone’s freedom being at risk. Holding on to respect and dignity for every person is the only path that protects us all.”
Yah, well let us start with Palestine and the Palestinian people, Noemi. These incidences are purely perpetuated by Israel’s actions. This statement shows zero self-awareness of the plight Israel is causing in the world.
I don’t have anything to hide, but I don’t have anything I want to show either.
He’s considering reporting you for attempting to check out of the system. That is illegal and brings a stiff punishment.
Estimations are made from the lakes depths, sizes and flow rates. Superior is fed by 200+ sources, but less so for the downflow lakes. Several are only fed by the uphill lake. This gives better accuracy when making estimates on how long it would take to replace all the water contained or travel time of the water itself.
Here’s another: According to fossil evidence, the Grest Lakes used to flow towards the Pacific, but an object, thought to be a comet, struck Lake Ontario (Charity Shoals) and changed the flow to the Atlantic.
Okay, one more: The Great Lakes are tilting over time. The Lawrentian ice sheet depressed the crust of the earth so much by its weight that it is still rebounding. I believe it is Lake Huron that they can see the tilt level changing about a tenth of an inch a year to the south.
The Great Lakes are truly a marvel of nature.
The water in rain falling in the west of Lake Superior will take 200 years to reach the Atlantic.
I have attended protests and will do so again, but I have no illusions that the fascists will simply ignore them. This may build up more frustration from people, but the sooner we can plan a general strike the better. The nazi ticks are just burrowing deeper.
That time, you were “That Guy”.
