I appreciate a lot of the ideas of accommodating bikes, and think it's a laudable goal. But it's not practical everywhere. As an example, I have lived in Houston in the past for some time. It is huge - I commuted roughly 20 mile

I think it may be more regional. I'm definitely under 40, but have never heard a prostitute mention her job, let alone proselytize. Same with drugs, though you're right that marijuana is not taken as seriously.

Wireguard there is one clear advantage for me: speed. I got a clear and immediate speed bost, because wireguard is significantly less cpu-intensive, and I was running on an $5/mo VPS. For openvpn, it had good support cross-platform a

Let's be honest: a lot of companies is use phone numbers to limit the number of accounts one can create. Email accounts are a dime a dozen. This is not fun for those of us who like to use many different accounts for different things.

Great to see wireguard is taking Windows support seriously, rather than just using the openvpn driver. Currently on tunsafe, but I'm excited to switch over to the first-party client when it's available.

I've got to somewhat agree with that. Meltdown and spectre were very serious, but were also branded and marketed specifically to be "viral". Also, web browsers, possibly the single biggest risk, were patched separately iirc

Not sure what exactly you're referring to; most people don't refer to illegal drug abuse openly in polite company here in America either. Of course, it's also impolite to ask.

I have neighbors that used to raise chickens. When they went on vacation, I used to care for them for a week or so at a time. It's a lot easier than you might think. They are fairly low-maintenance, as animals go. And if you just ea

So let's say the far-left carpenters union is the one to successfully negotiate with an employer. I belong to a centrist union. Now what? Do I go against my political and personal beliefs or do I suffer because of them?

This is exactly the problem. Many of the unions I mentioned above are such ones, where in many places, you must be a member if you work in an industry. They are less unions and more guilds. Let's say you are a carpenter, a skilled

Completely correct. Three of the top 10 election cycle 2018 contributors were unions. * Carpenters & Joiners Union gave $38,366,262 with $37,822,215 to democrats and $529,000 to republicans. * Service Employees International Union gave

Let's go back to DDT; it worked well. No link to cancer. It is widely speculated that banning DDT caused more deaths than Hitler. It wasn't perfect, but western moral imperialism and the corresponding pressure forced the third w

Most programming is in American english too. And most people who use computers end up picking up a decent bit anyway, according to some friends from a spanish-speaking country.

Most of the internet is based on American English. See programming for an example. For the goal of representing American English, it works fine. Why would anything more be necessary?

What is with the push to unicode? Why not ascii? It seems to give a lot less trouble, particularly wrt panagrams, normalization, etc.
