Provides comprehensive day care / early childhood education starting at 8 months
This is wrong. An 8 month old child should be with mom. Even the Soviets figured this out: in Soviet Russia, mom loves you. Also, an 8 month old ought to be breastfeeding. (for real, not pumped)

...and if they don't want intrusive monitoring?
It's exactly the same process which occurs naturally in a growing animal.
Exactly, except that the "blood" will be mostly corn syrup. The fat and amino acids in the "blood" will probably come from soy. Just like soy burger, this won't be available without coloring and flavoring added. I have no doubt that vat meat in theory could be way better than animal meat, and no doubt that in practice it will be worse.
You can see in the article that they are now trying to grow fat cells, then make a burger. Yuck. I'd much rather stir fry it with some coconut oil and mushrooms, but no they'll never offer that option.
So put both names on the title to the motorcycle. What is so hard about that? If you don't intend to share, don't get married. If you want to do things without asking a spouse for consent, don't get married.
I'm married. If I lived in those states, I'd have to create a holding company for the vehicle, with my wife and I each getting an ownership share. WTF! That is way too much work for something that should be simple and obvious.
If you are married, ideally you should not even be able to get title with just one name on it. At the very least it should require notarized consent of the party being left out.
The same goes for anything and everything you share, including kids. The more tied together you are, the harder it is to split. Splitting becomes less likely, but of course a bigger disaster if it does happen.
Your choice... but if you're going to live like roommates then you might as well just stay roommates.
If you couch your language in the uncertainty inherent in research, they take from it that there's an obvious danger,
Well, that's the honest truth.
and there's a conspiracy to keep the research results quiet, or to spin them to the advantage of Big Pharma.
If you fail to couch your language in the uncertainty inherent in research, then this is also true.
Show some numbers. Explain the horror of the disease. Be honest about the chances of catching it, particularly regarding circumstances: rural, suburban, urban, more or less isolated, country, state, socioeconomic background, etc. Be honest about the chances of adverse reactions... and no, the 24-hour cut-off is not honest.
This is the elephant in the kitchen. It's hard enough finding Americans who will put the US first. Imagining that foreigners will put the US first is insane.
I'm not sure if you should even make an exception for somebody who claims to be an orphan who fled religious persecution by running through a minefield while being shot at.
If your secrets are on a network that connects to a foreign land or can otherwise be accessed by anybody with ties to a foreign land, you're in trouble.
Also a good opportunity to get an international standard outlet (please, not the parallel pins)
I demand a proper smiley face. I want round eyes and a cheerful mouth. Mouth width can indicate how many amps the socket can handle. If we need a neutral line distinct from ground or a 3rd phase, add a nose.
My only problem so far is that I had to make Nautilus my default file manager again
That does sound like a problem.
Don't ignore Fitts' Law-- the menu bar at the top of the screen has an effectively infinite height, so even though you have to move your mouse farther, you can just slam it to the top of the screen and only have to aim horizontally.
That doesn't work. I assume Fitt really loved his trackball. If I do that, I'll need to pick my mouse up off the desk before it works it's way under the monitor and off of the back of the desk. Worse yet, hitting the top of the screen destroys my mental sense of the mouse-to-screen mapping. I can't click multiple things in rapid succession if ever I bump the edge of the screen.
Mouse wraparound would be nice. Hmmm, it's probably an option...
How common do you think it is for users to want a second instance of an application, rather than just another window?
They implicitly want it whenever an app crash takes out **all** the windows. They implicitly want it whenever they have undesired cross-site web interactions that would be stopped by having separate browser sessions.
the bar being at the top of the screen provides an infinite targeting area. You just have to push your mouse up until the pointer will no longer move
You do that, and you'll need to pick your mouse up off the desk to move it closer to you. Every time you hit that top edge, your mouse's desk-to-screen relation gets all fucked up. No, I'm not going to buy a trackball.
Top: Actions and status.
Huh? I guess my xterm launcher button would be an action, and my clock would be status? That's just two items. The more you add, the more CPU and RAM you lose. Surely you'd benefit from ditching most of whatever is taking up all that space. Those pixels are probably more valuable elsewhere. You're also wasting electrical power, causing fan noise and sucking dirt into your computer.
still wants to see the list of windows on all his desktops
Wait, you mean you have a task bar that includes buttons for things that aren't on the current desktop? That pretty much defeats the point of having virtual desktops. Normally you should only see buttons for things running on the current desktop. (in XFCE this is an option that I can't imagine anybody would ever want)
Note that you can get two rows of taskbar buttons if you adjust the height to 50 pixels. At this height, it becomes reasonable to make the desktop switcher have two rows as well. There is plenty of room for taskbar buttons. I have 23 right now, and I can still see text on the buttons.
