Even if it's very uncommon, unfortunately even one incident like the one in GP's comment is enough to convince someone that they're unwelcome and abandon working in the field. In fact, an argument for workplace diversity init

Those houses sitting empty with no-one in them is exactly why the price of rent is so high. The supply is there but it's being hoarded by 1% of the population. Write laws that would force people to rent out their secondary houses, cond

Additionally they've unbanned the use of some slurs, such as calling other people "retarded". Not a nice feeling having grown up with that word directed at me almost every day.

I've been inadvertantly safe from this bug on my personal Windows computer for years thanks to having the UTF-8 mode set, as shown at the bottom of the article. I had it set due to some old, foreign games showing garbled nonsense text

How much of the city budget does the LAPD need for crime to finally go down then? 60%? 80%? Maybe all of it, replace the mayor with the police commissioner and run the city like a quasi-military dictatorship? Studies have found "no con

The city of Los Angeles and the Mayor have been requesting volunteers from the public, due to lack of manpower. According to their website [1] the salary for firefighters in Los Angeles is $85,000 to $125,000 (rounded). Assuming the average

Thank you for providing context, I edited the comment and changed "gutted" to "cut".

I'm not sure why the percentage matters? Whether it's 2% or 20%, it's still millions of dollars that could have been used here. More broadly, why are we cutting fire department budgets when wildfires are becoming more frequ

Los Angeles Fire Department funding was cut by over $23M only a few months ago. The fires are currently being fought by a skeleton crew of remaining fire fighters and volunteers. Can't say if that funding would have prevented it, but c

UTM for iOS has been basically neutered on performance so I doubt it would even run. The authors even had to rebrand it as a "retro OS emulator" because it can't run anything newer than XP.

I have a Deck and almost never use the track pads, they feel totally redundant to me. The right one is pretty good on desktop mode and in games that aren't Deck-optimized and need a mouse, though. What are you using both of them for?

It's a bit like saying Google didn't "ban" Fortnite from Android because you can still access the app thru sideloading. Ultimately if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck and talks like a duck, it's a duck.

The BLM protestors in 2020 were cracked down on by the police, often violently, so I'm not sure what your point is.
