Ah see that article has a completely different framing than the OP. The OP make sit seem that it's the Gangnam District that's known to be wealthy directly, not a "slum" nearby.

That is extremely important context that Reuters seems to have missed/ignored.

I mean, the entire song was making fun of the Gangnam District being wealthy. It has the highest average income per resident in South Korea. I wouldn't exactly say that's people already in a bad situations.

There are of course exceptions, but a massive fire in Manhattan is totally different than one in the Bronx for instance.

It's low lying, but this is the Internet and thus a requirement.

Can't really blame them for trying to get some of their money back.

Unadulterated technical incompetence from a tech company is par for the course these days though.

That's the platform on paper. Whew is any of it. They never even tried to do any of it when they controlled all branches of government.

They get the same corporate donations as the GOP, and those are the same investors they run to constantly. The only reason they even exist is as a lesser of two evils in the useless FPTP election system the US uses.

Reddit was already the replacement everyone went to after they redesigned Digg in 2010 to focus on publishers and traffic fell 50% almost immediately. Digg had 40 million monthly visitors and a $160 Million valuation at the time.

Those two statements are distinctly separate, and accurate. The previous health issues that ended missions early were unrelated to the ISS.

A lot of time and effort goes into ensuring astronaut health and mitigating exposure leading up to missions.
