Windows 11 gets hour-long updates while Windows 10 lets you just do your shit (mostly) uninterrupted.

Remember when you thought the vaccine would kill millions and millions of people by the end of 2022?

How did that go?

It's hard to collect evidence of 'more likely to' until it happens, and by the time it happens it's kinda too late for whoever's on the receiving end.

It does seem like a reasonable assumption, however, that people who primarily got their job to fill some kind of politically correct quota are going to push that as far as they can because they do not have the same level of expertise (note that I am not saying they have no expertise) as someone hired entirely on their professional merits to do so.

Why stop at 90? What are you doing HAVING a home? Live in your cubicle, work 24/7 for the glory of your betters, slave.

They just need to claim they only take water from there during March, April and May. Boom, Spring Water, as opposed to Summer Water, Autumn Water, and Winter Water.

That really is a weird way of calculating it. Of course the family living there generates those 10kg as well, both as a household and individually, and the power company generates those 10kg as well, and the water company, and so on. It makes it really hard to generate some solid numbers of how much CO2 is generated in total if the same 10kg are attributed to a number of different actors instead of being split out between them.

No, that is you putting a different intent into my words so they fit your world view.

Way to split hairs. Copyright encourages creativity by ensuring that you can put food on the table by being creative.

Copyright is, in part, to ensure that the creator is reasonably paid for the time the creation took. You don't normally write a book in a week; it can take months or even years, so if it could be freely copied after eg. a single year far fewer potential authors (good as well as terribly bad) would look at the potential earnings and go nope, not worth the risk to create this piece of art.

As such, yes - a young author may have spent five years writing a book, only to step in front of a bus on the day the book is released. His family thus gets practically nothing out of it, despite the copyright law being what originally made him take that chance instead of getting a 9-5 office job.

I don't know what the minimum guaranteed copyright term should be, just that 95 years definitely isn't it. Perhaps copyright shouldn't even be one thing, but variable from genre to genre, medium to medium.

"Non-Offensive Epithet, one of them even called me a Roomer the other day because I can afford living in a room of my own instead of with three others."

As if that is going to matter in three weeks. Remember Trump's first term was all about undoing everything Obama did; didn't matter why he did it, whether he was mentally competent, whether it was a Good Thing, whether all he DID with it was put a scribble on the final page of a proposal longer than War and Peace; what mattered was that Obama made it so it was Bad(tm) and had to be removed.

They failed to fulfill their end of the bargain by not being lucky enough to land a high-paying job, you mean? If the university churns out 500 graduates and there are only 100 jobs available in that field, then some 400 of them are going to be screwed over likely through no fault of their own other than pure bad luck.

I am by no means a fan of Trump, but he's not where it started. America has had a "I'm the main character!" problem for several decades, and it's only getting worse. Trump is a very obvious example, but he's not patient zero.

Having just been permabanned from participating in r/news for not having The Right Opinion this made me laugh out loud.

Oh yeah, no suddenly deciding you want to grow a beard or shave one off, or switch from glasses to contacts or vice versa ...
