Comment z-negative borders (Score 1) 95

Since when are z-axis negative frame borders a thing?

This design appears to require "frame borders" to be bigger to actually visually separate elements using the background, and the elements themselves still do have z-positive borders...

I also wonder how this design will work with setups that have no titlebar (in fullscreen mode - think kiosk usecase)

Won't work: The people have a relationship with their land, once in washington that relationship would be gone. What you want in washington are very strong altruists: people who care more about others than about themselves.

Just as the thrusters were needed to control the vehicle during the docking process, they were also necessary to position Starliner for its deorbit burn and reentry to Earth’s atmosphere.

Realy close to losing the Starliner crew. They essentially rebooted the thrusters mid-flight, and got very lucky. I wonder how close it was for the ISS.

The trick is that keeping honeybees can bring in dollars. That's why honeybees were "saved". Your single hive in the back of your yard isn't a problem, the industry that transports hives all over the country is.

Of what financial value are "The bumblebees, sweat bees, mason bees, miner bees, leafcutters and other native bees"? Yeah, the same as clean water and air.
