Given that he said he had no money for a funeral I'm guessing he was planning to pull her body out one day and go "oh my goodness, she's dead!" and have a funeral rather than just try to continue collecting her pension in perpetuity.

I doubt Trump's followers will think of this as a breach of their 2A rights. They will likely think that it's black people and bad actors who will have their guns taken for the safety of the boys in blue.

This time it isn't (I think)

No, people only post glamping to social media. Plenty of people still go camping.

Legal means that same-sex relationships are legal, but not marriage. Same-sex marriage means that the state recognises same-sex marriages.

But that is the reality of most users today. They expect to have a GUI because it gives them the options right there, rather than having to go and learn what commands this particular system accepts. If you don't cater to those users, like my parents, my friends, my grandparents, my teachers, and basically everyone I know who isn't a computer nerd, and then expect them to "come to their senses" you will be very disappointed. Good design meets users where they're at, it doesn't expect them to "educate themselves."

It shouldn't be though. A command line interface is not user friendly for entry-level users, and until Linux UX designers realise this, Linux will never gain a greater market share. And we have seen this with Ubuntu, Mint, and other "user friendly" distros gaining popularity. I'm not saying that we should necessarily aim for broad-scale adoption of Linux as an end in itself, but more users means more support for Linux which means a better experience for all.

The US should have looked to Australia as an example of why not to do that. We had very low interest rates pre-covid in a bid to try and drive inflation up to about 2.5%. It didn't work because it basically meant that people who had plenty of cash just put that into investment properties and drove house prices through the roof, instead of increasing spending throughout the economy like the reserve bank thought it would. That led to a vicious cycle of property investors using the low rates to continue investing in properties, continuing to drive house prices up and pricing new home owners out of the market.

Then, when the post-covid inflation hit, the reserve bank decided to increase interest rates because if the interest rate drops didn't have an effect on inflation, it should have an effect on inflation in the other direction right? (/s) This meant that the few first home buyers actually got their foot in the door pre-covid were the ones who got punished the most, and the rest of us dealt with the "supply chain issues" (rampant profiteering).

They have their pros and cons. I wore a uniform to a public school (Australia) and it definitely meant that I had one less thing to worry about every day: being judged by what I wore. As an adolescent that meant a lot, and getting the freedom to wear whatever as an adult has meant that:

1. I got to learn what's appropriate before I got that freedom and

2. I had the maturity to not care what others thought about how I dressed.

Out of curiosity, why do you say you're really pro AI? I feel like I'm stuck in an anti-AI bubble ATM.

No clue about Japanese cities, but if you search for an American city's population you'll get the metropolitan population, not the greater city's population. That's how, according to Wikipedia, Sydney has a similar population to LA, despite LA having 10x the population density. If you include the suburbs LA is an order of magnitude larger than Sydney.

I hear (from Sydney) that it's quite controversial
