Privacy would mean being able to fly anywhere without showing ID - which is not reality.

Is being in an airport actually considered private? It's a public space, and you must show ID to gain access to the secured area. Additionally, you are subjected to baggage and carry-on inspection, as well as body inspection and metal

That was not all of Hunter's legal problems - he had serious tax evasion charges[1], along with other Biden family members (all of which were pardoned, unprecedentedly by President Biden). Trying to minimize Hunter's significant l

The Hunter Biden issue was not about smoking marijuana... that would have been the very least of his multitude of legal problems. Biden's own DoJ was prosecuting the cases - which is important context to consider here.

Yes. The EU focuses on safety of pedestrians, and the US focuses on safety of occupants. That's not to say a vehicle cannot do both well (see the many European vehicles sold in the US), but that is to say Chinese vehicles may not meet

This statement doesn't make a lot of sense. 40-50% of vehicles are foreign-made already[1]. I would strongly wager it's vastly more likely that these Chinese vehicles do not meet US safety standards - which are quite high. [1] ht

Fedora makes major upgrades pretty easy - you can even do it via the GUI Software Center, then reboot. Personally I'm using Kinoite[1], an "immutable" version of Fedora that has an immutable base image, which makes it nearly

Due to government failures... That's the point.

A significant amount of that damage was due to government policy, or rather failures of government policy. Fire hydrants literally went dry in the middle of firefighting. Fire Departments were critically understaffed, and were using critica

FWIW, Kinoite will auto-update itself (the base image gets an update nearly every day). While Fedora technically isn't a rolling release distro, it is very "bleeding edge" and it's major release cycle is quite frequent.
