Most of it.

And yet, there's a long way yet to go.

Only if you treat them like shit.

Effects.

Treating women like shit makes them not want to pump out babies. Now they have a choice, so they are doing a lot less of it. Literally all it would take to get a large portion (a majority IMO) of them to do it without support from a decent partner would be to gracefully and quietly fund the programs that ensure they will be able to feed and provide medical care for their children even if their circumstances change, but there seems to be a problem even meeting that bar.

But then your entire fucking point becomes pointless about 8 seconds later, literally before I could read it and roll my eyes about it.

Except it doesn't. It's shit all day. It makes people upset all day. This means it's costing productivity all day. See, in the real world with real humans, these user pain points have real impacts on those real people.

HTH, HAND!

Same for if it is made in America. If it's not FOSS, then it's not trustworthy, and even then it's limited to e.g. devices you can build your own firmware for.

At least a role model to the MAGA types: bigoted lying* anti-LGBTQ+ lout.

* Claims to be a founder of Tesla. Balderdash.

> I hope they mend all of that and become a Great Country, that they were, once again.

Which period are you referring to? They've always had an authoritarian gov't.

I will give China's gov't credit for putting R&D into solar and EV tech. They take a lot of guff for the coal thing, but since they don't have many petroleum fields, they arguably get a pass. They are on track to move away from coal in a few decades.

... "surgery" together, please. Gives me the heebies.

Yes, at least that is at least on paper a solution. As long as you can't just buy your way out of it more cheaply because the legal system works, that is. I can't speak to their efficacy there, only here, where... Well, you know.

Yes, when it's necessary, not just when someone is scared.

If he's not following the law, then... anyone? Everyone?

California's highways have a minimum speed, too. It's "drivers cannot drive so slowly that they block or impede the normal flow of traffic". So if he's going 30, and everyone else wants to go faster, he's breaking the law. Also, California state law requires that if you are on a highway and there are five or more people behind you, YOU MUST PULL OVER AT THE FIRST SAFE OPPORTUNITY TO PERMIT THEM TO PASS. This is an extremely underappreciated and underenforced law. I've seen someone pulled over for it just once, they were operating construction equipment and there were dozens to hundreds of people stuck behind them — I could not see the end of the line, so I only know about dozens.

Windows 8 could at least be mostly unshittified and actually came with some substantial improvements over Windows 7, like the desktop duplication API.

Windows 11 offers zero improvements over Windows 10 and makes things a lot worse in a lot of categories. It's way worse than 8.

Kinda. They don't have the same accuracy because of the drive-by nature of the activity. They also skip a lot of roads, they can't leave roads or trails, etc.

Nope. They were in apparently random locations that Niantic wanted scanned. They fill in the gaps left by scanning programs like gmaps.

It's literally not repurposing. They always intended the game to deliver high resolution imagery coupled with positioning information that could be used for non-game purposes.

You're asking why a video of a police officer beating someone should be posted? Are you new?

Uh yeah, we realize this is Poland, right. Are you new?

YES WE FUCKING REALIZE IT'S POLAND.
