They may be paid, though some slaves in the US were given an allowance or even paid occasionally.
Also, in many cases, the workers CAN'T leave. Either because they're barred from doing so, or because they can't afford to travel.
It's more similar to the coal mines of the industrial era; you're given a loan for equipment, housing and food. But no matter how hard you work, workers would never be able to pay it off. Even worse, the debts of the father get transferred to the son, and thus you have two generations of what are essentially slaves.
Water shortages are largely either local or temporary phenomena.
For example, I grew up in the Finger Lakes region of New York State, and forty miles to Lake Ontario. It would take a significant amount of effort to cause a water shortage there.
It's more that the content publishers noticed that Netflix was starting to make money, and they wanted their own cut.
And also, it was a one-time rise in price of $6, which is negligible compared to what cable companies do each year. In fact, it probably prompted to drop the $2/month charge for DVD service that they never used.
Being American, I somewhat cringe when an employer mentions work/life balance, because if they do, then they expect you to work at least 60 hours a week.
Basically one panelist recalls visiting a village in Russia.
All of the buildings are ugly, built at odd angles, and obviously in a state of deterioration. That is, all buildings except for the opera house at the center of town.
The opera house that was build by German POWs from WWII.
While I agree that a laugh track is a cheap way to indicate to an audience "hey! this is funny!," it doesn't always mean that the TV show is using one in lieu of actual humor.
The IT Crowd is an example of a show that used a laugh track, but didn't really need one.

There was indeed a demonstration which failed spectacularly.
However, the failure wasn't because the automatic braking system failed.
Rather, because the testers forgot to turn it on.
When they hear about this.

If you're keen on visiting a dealership, here's a list:

I highly doubt that she would have gotten to the semifinals with research that essentially states "thinner shells are easier to crack."
Unfortunately, I'm not finding any of the original data, so I cannot verify this.
Why not build a waterproof keyboard [...]
If they made a waterproof keyboard, then they would lose the majority of their business.
But also, one can get a UV sanitizing wand for as little as $10.
So long as students know the multiplication table up to 12, most math short of calculus can easily be taught without needing a calculator.
I definitely agree that bells and whistles are unnecessary when it comes to teaching.
Just speaking to my experience in college, the best teachers I had used chalk only, while the worst teachers I had used computer-based lectures.
Amazon Prime gives similar service at a lower price.

At least the Spanish Inquisition gave 30 days notice.
Do you really think people are so stupid as to believe that would be the reason he vetoed it?
Yes.
Yes, I do.
Pet Peeve:
People who say that they've "lost all faith in X," when it's obvious they never had faith in X.

Reminds me of a clip from the British TV show QI.

I'll grant that it may be an unprecedented move to delete the entire blog. However, it appears that the ONLY use for it was to get revenge on his ex.
If it contained a reasonable number of posts unrelated to his ex, the judge may have simply ordered that the violating posts be deleted.
But since all of the posts were violations, it seems reasonable for him to delete the entire thing.
Of course the Earth is special, but only in the way that one's own child is special.
When I'm dead, I'm sure I won't be all that worried about my shoes.
"How much do they learn between eighth and tenth grade?"
What they learn between eighth and tenth grades is Algebra.
Algebra is a huge leap in methodology and thinking, while what precedes it is relatively simple and easy to comprehend.
But also, this is when more complex question types start to appear.
I worked for a few months selling Qwest door-to-door.
My boss was insistent that the "p" in 1080p meant "pixels," and worse, she didn't believe me that a TI-83 has over six times that number.

For example, where I live, recycling bins can be picked up free at any fire department, but city garbage bags cost about $3 for 5.
There's no reason they can't add a second bin for compost.
While "spacecraft" is the standard pluralization, "spacecrafts" is also an accepted spelling.
On a somewhat related note, octopi, octopuses and octopodes are all accepted variants.
