Now, I don't call that a "vaccine passport" and as far as I know vaccination and medical info isn't tied to any official passport, nor is there some kind of required medical-info-passport-work-a-like

There is a medical-info-passport-work-a-like ([1], [2]). It's coming up to its centenary, and it's most commonly associated with yellow fever. However, CoVID vaccination doesn't currently fit into that framework.

If you learned whole word reading, you can read every language whole word.
If you know the words.

Hebrew (at least historically, no idea about right now) and Thai for instance have no spaces between words.

Also it is a silly misconception that people who learned whole word reading can not read letters and build up a word with sound, that is a ridiculous idea.

Oh seriously?

I use both Slack and Teams day to day (we use Slack internally, client uses Teams, so we are on both as a result).

Slack we never have any issues with, and can find information from previous conversations easily.

Teams? Fuck teams. Fuck it and then fuck it some more. Its slow, clunky, constantly has issues, very hard to find information unless you still have the chat open somewhere, and chats are spread all over the place (chats, teams, channels...). Teams also requires you to have access to the workspaces OneDrive and SharePoint as well if you want to share files, so if you dont have access to those things then ... you are limited to text only.

Its video call system is sorely limited, and even doing things like zooming in to the presenters shared screen is clunky and shit.

Teams is the worst collaboration system I have ever used, so dont try making out that its better than Slack or Zoom. It is by far the worst of the three.

The value of what one steals, has nothing to do with the sentence.

I steal your suitcase - I committed a crime called "theft", I get punished for theft. Not for what ever is in your suitcase. Or if the suitcase is empty.

Does not matter if I take your $2000 phone from your table in a cafeteria, or steal your $2,000,000 car in front of it: the crime is the same, and the punishment is the same.

At least in Germany.

On the other hand, if I wrangle an ice cream out of the hands of your little boy and run away with the $1 ice cream: it is robbery ... and not theft.

Did he rob the car? (Can you rob a car?)
Or did he burglar into a car?
Or did he steal from a car?

5 years for stealing is a bit harsh ...

5 years for robbery? ... in Germany minimum sentence for robbery is 6 years.

Why stealing and breaking into a car and damaging it is not the way ... robbery is a completely different caliber of a crime!
