What's the name, translated to German?

Do you really think this party simply "shutting up" will help??

We have a similar problem in some downtown places here - Investors / rich-folk buy them up for reasons, and then when they are done (or 'disused') they sit empty for ever, driving prices up.

I believe I saw a motion (but no action) to tax empty condos at a higher rate than fully-occupied ones.

"Do you know why I pulled you over?" "I can only assume, officer. And I'm not interested."

But compared with human eyesight, they could still see more 'colors' - As we see (almost) the same white in incandescent bulbs as LEDs and fluorescents, they might actually see the component colors and their intensities.

Not unlike how we may hear a combination tone when multiple other tones are played, and hear the difference (or sum) of them.

I've got some more random numbers:

8 6 7 5 3 0 9 1 1 2 3 5 8 1 2 4 8 1 6 3 2

It's not that they look random is enough - They need to BE random.

Recheck your lava lamp Wall of Entropy and generate some real rands, scrub. (/s)

I lost the first car I'd purchased outright to a "dead behind the wheel' driver, and I wasn't even in it!

A friend had borrowed the car, just a couple weeks after buying it, and was stopped at an intersection - An older man had a heart attack, barreled through the intersection, hit a pole, and then kept turning and t-boned my friend in my car. No injuries (other than the dead guy) but my car was totaled. Insurance payout was super!

They were already one half lost if they believed it was innocent in the first place.

The opening scene to Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation gives me work anxiety, with the Jeremy Renner as the manager who is shouting at the two people doing the work to work faster (repeatedly) and giving them directions but has no understanding of what they are doing. Then Cruise sweeps in with a new directive and it takes a few tries to get right, under an absurd deadline.

Speak for yourself. I try not to think.

And it's opposite (Schrödinger's Box?) - The (edge) problem that you can see and is guaranteed to exist and cause problems but somehow never does and the code works perfectly.
