Happy that all's well that ends well, but for any parents considering this, trench collapses have killed hundreds of workers in just the past decade. Anything deeper than a couple feet might be a hazard that needs to be mitigated.

IANAL, but written materials about sexual abuse don't seem to be illegal in the US. For recent-ish publications, see My Dark Vanessa by Russell and Tampa by Nutting. (I liked the former which took a thoughtful approach whereas I didn&#

Those other technologies didn't come with hype about superintelligence that causes people to put too much trust in it.

Plausible deniability on excluding people for BS reasons I'd guess.

You're responding under the presumption that the official story about ICE's mission is accurate and sincere. I'm suggesting that it's a ruse to dupe people into accepting paramilitary enforcement of an authoritarian stat

Border enforcement is only the excuse to build a paramilitary force akin to the Blackshirts or the Sturmabteilung that will do whatever violence is asked of them.

Double-entry bookkeeping is a transformational way of thinking about money. There's a reason it took over the world. Even if I just tracked expenses in a spreadsheet, it would help that I know double-entry.

I love/hate GnuCash. I've been using it for years, and it helps a lot. I would pay good money for someone to improve the UI, maybe even separate the accounting engine into a library that could be used by different UIs.

It's highly dependent on your personal situation. If you have plenty of income, tracking grocery expenses might be a waste of time, like tracking how much air you breathe. If your income is barely meeting your expenses (or worse), the

The controversy comes from parents disagreeing about which topics and books public schools should protect children from. If some parents want certain books removed and others want them kept, whose preferences should prevail? Should we give
