You're the one who misused the word, don't get all offended. Just for reference:

discrete: [dih-skreet] / dskrit /
adjective
1. apart or detached from others; separate; distinct.
six discrete parts.
Synonyms:
unconnected, individual, different
2. consisting of or characterized by distinct or individual parts; discontinuous.

Here's the word it appears you were trying to use:

discreet:[dih-skreet] / dskrit /
adjective
1. judicious in one's conduct or speech, especially with regard to respecting privacy or maintaining silence about something of a delicate nature; prudent; circumspect.

It only applies to black men.

Per the statistics, police shoot and kill quite a few white men as well. Nobody gets worked up about those dudes.

OTOH, when you dig into the individual incidents, pretty much all of those dead white men were actively attacking the police, usually with a weapon (), so it's difficult to get to worked up about those deaths.

Texas has installed more renewables than anywhere else in the world in the past few years

[citation needed]

For Texas, I'm finding 2024 numbers from the Texas Economic Development Corp. here and it touts adding 9,700 MW of solar in 2024. Meanwhile, China installed 277,000 MW of solar in 2024. I'm not readily finding numbers for wind, but I don't really need to -- you're the one making the outlandish claim, you need to provide the data.

I checked Apple's website for the US, the Indigo 256GB model says "6-8 business days".
For Canada, where I am, the Indigo 256GB model says "August 6th".

The article you linked is from April, four months ago. Clearly the situation has changed. Neither the US nor Canada are seeing months of backlog.

Yes, I'm saying if they follow the processes PROSCRIBE BY SOCIETY that they shouldn't be sent to jail.

Step 1: engage your brain

Step 2: maybe comment

Certainly they could be sent to jail in that case. Because you don't know what "proscribe" means. Here's a hint:

proscribed; proscribing

1: to publish the name of as condemned to death with the property of the condemned forfeited to the state
2: to condemn or forbid as harmful or unlawful : prohibit

Maybe you should try step 1 of your system before step 2.

APFS supports compression, but it's the same compression techniques (deflate, LZVN, LZFSE) that HSF+ supports. And it seems to be a slightly higher-level approach to compression than ZFS uses, making it only mostly transparent compression. So newer techniques that ZFS leverages, like LZ4 or ZSTD, they're not an option. Compression is such a no-brainer with ZFS (particularly with how fast LZ4 and ZSTD can be) that more and more distros/operating systems are enabling it by default.
