Do the librarians not count as locals? I would think most librarians are people who are relatively local to their library.

I have never met an American, or anyone of any nationality that understands "book bans" refer exclusively to school libraries. You are the first. Book bans are bans on books, at a national or state/local government level. Ban

Yea, I have a friend in California. There is usually a shootout of some kind every week after sundown. It's been happening for about 4 years straight at this point. He had to help the police last year due to a small gang bust that happ

To my understanding, Machine gun licenses are still sold in the US on extremely stringent terms. Some, like the famous American 180 (Otherwise known as the Angry Bees) are grand-fathered in and allowed to be used.

"Lots of air pollution" and "lots of electric vehicles" can be true in the same sentence. Vehicles are not the only source of severe air pollution.

That would definitely sounds like what they would say. The answer would simply be "It's not Windows10." They promised Windows 10 as the last edition. It doesn't matter whether Windows11 is an upgrade or not. Microsoft ex

In theory, we would force Microsoft to support Windows 10 for one lifetime. That would still qualify as the "Last Edition of Windows", just for your life. If not possible, then Microsoft should refund every single Windows 10 purc

In that case, I feel it would simply be the "Ultimate Edition" at that time. Not the ultimate edition for perpetuity, which would be theoretically impossible. (Unless we say it is the Ultimate DVD edition.) It would still be diff

Why shouldn't they? Public individuals are routinely held accountable for their statements. Why shouldn't customers be allowed to hold corporations to the same standards? If corporations promise a feature, then fail to deliver, th

Is it even legal to own implants like this privately? I feel like that would result in the violation of multiple laws relating to medical malpractice and improper storage.

It's a shame really, false statements by corporations rarely get prosecuted. Corporate statements\speech needs to be regulated. There needs to be a law that holds them explicitly to any and all statements.

Oh how I long for the older, simpler and unobtrusive systems like that. I have so many things where I just want the old non-electric style back.

A part of me really wants those spinny window cranks back. Highly prefer those funny things over electric windows. Touchscreens on cars need to die out, preferably quickly.

That doesn't really matter. Lets assume the ridiculous best case scenario: Tesla cars are 2x as safe as other cars. If replacement parts for a Tesla car cost 2x the amount of regular cars, there is practically no difference in cost. I

To my understanding, that is because Tesla car replacement parts are hideously expensive. Not because they are unsafe.

The soviets already tried. The Polyus space craft was supposed to be a soviet space laser. It would have countered the US "StarWars" program. It failed to reach orbit due to a faulty gimbal or gyroscope.

This was IIRC an issue back in 1990s due to how the system calculated time. So operation of a system continuously for more than 20 hours would cause the system to become ineffective until it was rebooted. http://www.cs.unc.edu&#

A shame, it's usually like this for most community work. Always some requirement for "propriety". Wish more places would accept the concept of making work enjoyable.
