Allow me to answer. Ahem.

Is your paycheck larger?

No, that's Biden's fault.

Did you pay less taxes?

Did you her Kamala's laugh?

are grocery costs lower?

That's Barack HUSSEIN Obama's fault.

Are your utility costs lower?

Her emails and Benghazi made them high.

Did the price of gasoline or diesel decrease?

Yes but Biden did it Trump made money because he's smart

Did you pay less in health insurance?

Bill Clinton got impeached!! Trump's still draining the swamp.

If you needed insurance or healthcare were you able to obtain it?

Get your government hands off my medicare!

What if Obama did the exact same thing?

BOTH SIDES

That is a horrible answer and I suspect you don't know any more about the law than anyone else here.

The only correct answer to the question is this: "If it isn't illegal, it should be."

Same answer for selling pardons, for spending half the president's time at his own golf resort so he can charge the government to house the secret service there, for accepting lavish gifts from governments and corporations, for trading stocks based on government deals, for making government deals contingent upon business deals with the family, for loaning Pentagon money to the family, for placing spurious tariffs on businesses, for abducting people who have committed no crime and deporting them with no due process, for exporting people to dangerous foreign prisons, for starting wars without Congressional approval, for. . .Jesus fucking Christ do I need to continue?

HOW FUCKING STUPID ARE YOU TO CONTINUE DEFENDING THIS MAN?

Your whole "derp ber derp, It depends blah blah blah" is just an obvious stupid troll way of continuing to defend this moron who you have been defending on this forum for years. You are not being nuanced, you are not being clever. You fell for a wannabe despot and that was an extremely stupid thing for you to do. Continuing to defend him just makes you it obvious how much of an idiot you really are. What level of corruption is necessary for you to admit that you made a mistake?

Yeah, it was definitely Clinton lying about a relationship that set a precedent that allowed the current administration to undertake daily corruption and turn the government into a sort of mafia state. In the past, when presidents said things like, "I am not a crook!", they were totally telling the truth.

I mean, it was extremely consequential, Clinton's lie. It changed everything and many people suffered because of it. He might as well have lied about another country having weapons of mass destruction so he could start a war that would cost thousands of lives and then use that war to enrich his corporate buddies and donors.

Yeah, that Clinton. Real son of a bitch. All our current problems are rooted in him lying about a relationship.

We can bust on Microsoft all day and all night, and they deserve it, but the fact that their ability to find and fix these problems has greatly increased is a good thing. Software is incredibly complex, and no software more complicated than "10 GOTO 10" is free from the potential of security problems. Microsoft's QA has gone downhill in recent years, but now it's getting better apparently (even if it's after the fact). They are not going away, so this makes all our lives better.

I keep all my clocks on UTC now. I can't be bothered to change them twice a year.

Yeah mate that's frankly nuts.

Firstly, you have to go to effort to stop you phones and laptops changing their times automatically. Secondly, your clocks are now mismatched from literally everyone around you half the time. 95% of the point of clocks is to synchronise things with other people. That's why we got the concept of centralized time in the first place.

Scotland only has six hours of daylight in the winter - so you're either going to work in the dark or coming home in the dark.

Or both! I'm further south (London) and in the depths of winter I was going to school before sunrise and would often/usually arrive home after sunset. And work is usually longer hours than school.

That actually seems worse than the alternative. If everyone's going to be shuffling times around, just sort it out centrally rather than having a month of incredibly vexing minor synchronisation errors.

Or, you know pick hours for when it makes most sense when there's least sun (winter) and just leave it there?

Not getting any sunlight until past 10.00 AM is so annoying,

Well not getting any sun past 4:30 in the afternoon is also so annoying. I live at the same latitude: the number of hours of sunlight is too short and all you are doing is shuffling it around.

and the cost of road maintenance because rush hours is when everywhere, there is still ice on the roads, will be prohibitive.

You what?

People complaining have simply no clue how it is to have DST in the winter, and can't imagine.

Or maybe people just don't agree with you? Or maybe you also didn't read the article title? The plan was to KEEP DST, so winter is unchanged.

Despite electing a communist mayor in their largest city,

Gosh a Mayor who isn't a drooling right wing nutjob actually representing what people, not coprs want? He must be out to sap and impurify your precious bodily fluid.

As a distant observer, I also like his style. Arseholes tried to block a bike lane, so he made it twice as big. Noice.

I wrote a file searching utility in C++ about 30 years ago. About 15 years ago I ported it to Python and found it to be faster than using the Windows directory enumeration APIs, and I've been using that ever since. It just searches filenames, but that's all I need.

"NOTE: Experiences vary by region." says to me that Microsoft doesn't even know what their changes will do.

If all goes as it should we'll all simply be working less in 10 years time.

That seems phenomenally unlikely. Absolutely vast changes were made to the world of work since the 1970s with the inexorable rise of computing and productivity gains have been vast. And yet the 40 hour work week has remained.

To be honest, I already am.

cool. You are not even slightly the majority in this.

They can take their robotaxis, scooters, ebikes and everything else with them.

Nah, the dockess ebikes are really popular for good reasons.

I mean sure lots of people complain bitterly about them "taking up space" but somehow the 40% of people gifted land for free car storage in my part of London never get a mention in this whole "taking up space" argument.

Lime isn't 100% without problems, but providing effective, theft resistant, low impact point to point transport when the rest of the options are often stuck in slow moving traffic clogged by a shockingly small number of private cars works well. Our society won't yet distribute space more equitably apparently.

And not everyone is a low income disabled plumber urgently rushing their elderly fridge to hospital.

Oh yeah and even with all the dockless ebike problems, they are still vastly safer than cars.

I have been quite happy with my heavily customized FVWM desktop for about 30 years now.

Same! It's just really good.

I have not yet switched over to fvwm3. I do not anticipate much pain.

Two tier policing is alive and well in the UK.

It is: right wing protests get the ultimate in soft touch policing, especially farmers. Protestors causing similar disruption but aligned left get massively harsh sentences. This two tier policing absolutely needs to end and the police need to crack down as hard on the right as they do on the left.

That way maybe the right will stop advocating for it.
