How much is that as a percentage of the average monthly income, would you say?

Sounds like an invitation to set up a new power company - I’m not sure how expensive electricity is in India but solar farms in rural areas are generally a good thing.

I know. I was devastated when I first watched it, because I was so sure it was going to pass…

What?

Picture-in-picture is one of those things that should only happen when I explicitly ask for it, in my opinion.

Does anyone really think that Amazon cares what anyone wants?

Also, I’m pretty sure it’s not possible to install any other browser on iPhones unless you get root.

Turns out the people who write the laws have an interest in making sure that the maximums for these crimes are low.
