You made me curious: what is the quickest way to get a ticket in NZ?

I do too, but what I miss is customized throttling settings (I need to optimize for fast overseas connections: high bandwidth but also high latency). Chrome (and Edge) have this.

When I buy a computer, Windows 10 is installed as default. You have to go out of your way to get a computer which hasn't. I think it's as easy as that. I've setup Linux on all machines I own or maintain, for all users includi

I think it is very difficult to compare stats between countries where prostitution is legal and countries where it is not. The linked article is light on details whether this is accounted for or not.

Not directly related to your question but we have weight classes in certain sports. This levels out at least some of genetic advantages. I always found it odd that there are not, let's say height classes for high jump. It always seemed

What's the issue with using Thunderbird for this (mail or usenet)? But I am old and I never understood why one would prefer a browser over native clients.

You just shifted the question from "Why do we have an inverse square law for radiation" to "Why do we live in a 3d universe". Same goes for the Noether theorem. It shifts the question from "why do we have certain co

At home I am all in on Linux desktop (I'm using mint) and I love it. However, I have a gaming PC with two AMD graphics cards attached. These do not work together with the vanilla distribution, they need drivers from AMD to work correct

You can forbid Klarna sharing the accounting data with anyone. I doubt there is a legal sharing permission overriding GDPR for accounting data aside from tax authorities.

Legally, there may be a difference. Morally, not so much, imo. The Morales thingy should have never happened. EU needs to grow a spine.

For the EU that ship has sailed as there is a mandatory automatic emergency call capability for every new car. I hate it for the fact alone that it enables location tracking via cellular connectivity as I assume that the SIM is connected al
