Step one, drive past the house - no sirens or lights, just see if there's anything odd. Step two, knock on a couple of the neighbours' doors - say that you've received a non-specific report of gunfire in the area, ask if they heard anything. Step three, from somewhere inconspicuous see if you can see in through the windows with binoculars. Step four, visit the nearest take-away and have someone in plain clothes take the food to the house pretending that they misread the number, look for signs of distress from the person answering the door. Step five, surround the house with armed officers at all exits and have someone in uniform knock on the front door and ask the person who answers to step outside - if they're refusing and showing signs of distress, then go in.
Or they could just forget all of their police training and pretend that their soldiers in enemy territory.
Racism is ok outside of the workplace? Thought not...
The workplace is special because it's somewhere where your freedom of association is limited. If you're being racist in a public place, I can leave or use my freedom of speech to tell you to shut up. If you're being racist in my house, I can ask you to leave (and call the police if you don't). If you're being racist in work, then my ability to do anything about it is limited by the management. If you are the management, then there's nothing that I can do about it except quit, and (depending on the state of the economy) that may hurt me more than you.
She sees the same absurdity in the "feminist" movement that I do.
The problem for feminists today is that their parents (or grandparents) won all of the easy battles. Now the only ones left are difficult and nuanced. Addressing them is hard - it's much easier to make up an easy target to attack than deal with real issues.
I think that the single USB-C port is going to be pretty annoying for the people who buy one this year, but it is likely to have the same effect as making the iMac USB only: provide a sufficiently large demand for USB-C devices that it makes sense for peripheral manufacturers to produce docking stations, displays that can provide power over USB-C, and so on. In a couple of years, I expect that there will be enough devices on the market handle breakout from a single USB-C connector that people buying laptops won't have a problem with it.
However, just like the original iMac, there's going to be a lead time where the only peripherals that you can connect reliably are (expensive) Apple-branded ones. If you remember the iMac launch, you'll recall that about a year later computer stores were full of USB stuff all in the same sort of translucent coloured plastic as the iMac to encourage iMac users to buy them, but a year after that the vast majority were bought to plug into non-Apple machines.
