The mention of "authentic" cuisine is giving me PSTD from working for a Californian company. Apparently that is something very important there, whereas I don't think most of the world gives a shit... even other parts of the US.
The last election in Gaza was in 2006. 65% of the population in Gaza is 24 or younger (!!!) so the majority of Gaza residents literally could not have voted for anyone, including Hamas.
I don't agree with that all hierarchy is bad; a tree structure allows scaling. But The Peter Principle book explained why they result in society being shit.
Inspired by a post since deleted, I feel bad for probably coming off judgemental about the poster's taste in the movie that drove him to consider sailing....
I wanted to buy music, but a CD that I got in the 00's had some "protection" so that I couldn't rip it and listen to it on my MP3 player.
Now, I ripped it from a Linux computer and had no problems, but was so upset that the record companies tried this. I realized that it's not about right or wrong, but just about power and money.
A general strike will almost certainly be met with violence. So comrades need to plan their reaction in advance. This could be taking the punches, or not....
My wife cried tears of frustration at not being able to breastfeed her children, and still feels judged as not being a proper mother for this reason. 😟
Misinformation campaigns increasingly target the cavity-fighting mineral, prompting communities to reverse mandates. Dentists are enraged. Parents are caught in the middle....
Dentists are not scientists though. They suffer from a limited data set and all the other cognitive problems that we invented science to counteract.
Having said that, scientists should not make policy, but inform public health experts, who understand that science does not tell you what to do, but just the best current view of reality. These experts have to take into account cost/benefit ratios as well as science from a wide set of fields.
Luckily for fluoride in the water, they all agree!
Indeed part of the reason the current Israeli government is so radically right is that Netanyahu kept having to find more desperate and less morally-centered parties to make a coalition government with.
Still, I'm happier living in a country with a dozen parties than on with only two...
Also the Dems were happy to continue most of Trumps policies,
I'm still waiting for the people held without a trail in Guantanamo to be released. There have been 11 years of Democratic Presidential leadership since then...
Funny but diseases usually become less virulent over time. A successful disease generally doesn't harm the host too much.
Ebola doesn't spread far because it quickly kills the carrier. The COVID-19 pandemic was basically ended because it mutated into a less dangerous variant.
There’s a tendency in this heated political climate to simply reject people who are saying false things and to write off conspiracy theorists writ large....
I visited Prague, and this painting is just up at a cafe. I ordered the absinthe with my tour guide, a Czech schoolteacher who gave city walking tours to make ends meet. She had never had it, which I thought a kind of minor sin. Anyway, we didn't know that its like 90% alcohol. Great experience, terrible drink. 😆
Is that true? Median is literally taking the value in the middle. So if there are 30 million 70 year olds then it would be picking the 15th millionth person and using their savings.
I'm pretty sure that liquid assets are things that you can spend, so cash and bank accounts. Anything that you have to sell to buy things is not a liquid asset. (Note that we are not talking about barter. I had a friend at college who traded a snake for a VW camper, neither of which would be considered a liquid asset. Even though technically you could put the snake in a giant blender...)
I was in traffic court in the 1990s and saw a guy get sent to jail for driving 75 miles per hour on a 25 miles per hour road.
This was in Virginia. The person refused a lawyer. He looked like he was maybe 22. The look of surprise on his face when he was led off to jail was priceless.
I think that they will. Much like tech workers who had no interest in unions because they thought that they were aligned with the owners, management is going to have a rude awakening and learn that if you don't own the company then you are just labor.
Why do you think that is true? The only violence from people unhappy with a presidential election that I can think of is the MAGA insurrection in 2021.
In Holland we have wooncorporaties, which are non-profit companies that own apartments and rent them out. They are cheap, and usually there is a maximum income for tenants. There is a waiting list, and a lot of people add their names as soon as they turn 18.
The Dutch housing market is fucked, but these are good, and would not be possible if you restricted them to a single apartment.
Me too! I remember mansplaining to my girlfriend at the time how long it would take to visit a page and download images, and how nobody would wait that long to see pictures of cats. I underestimated how much people really want to see cat photos.
You can make a PR against your feature branch and have that reviewed. Then the final PR against your man branch is indeed huge, but all the changes have already been reviewed, so it's just LGTM and merge that bad boy!
I suppose it is possible to have two PR that have changes that depend on each other. In general this just requires refactoring... typically making a third PR removing the circular dependency.
It sounds like your policy is to keep PR around a long time, maybe? Generally we try to have ours merged within a few days, before bitrot sets in.
Poland uses coal to produce most of their electricity, unlike the rest of Europe. They don't have a lot of coast for wind, they are northern and don't get much sun for solar, they don't have nuclear plants, and they were avoiding Russian gas for ages. Plus they have had right-wing governments for ages, who don't care about pollution or global warming.
The purpose of the UN is so that nuclear powers have a forum to talk, instead of, you know, ending all human life on the planet.
Everything else is just sort of stuff that came along once you had all the countries of the world sitting around realizing that they should do something once they're in the same room.

Yes, correct. You have to assume that each party will be tracking everything they can, otherwise it doesn't make sense. So the age verifier will know that you have requested many authentication in a given time.
