If opening up is what caused the marriage to fall apart, it was built on a broken foundation and was doomed from the start. You're only finding out now because emotional unavailability hides that sort of thing.

The owners of the largest military in the world will make it everyone's problem before it gets better.

Chaotic neutral: Python

This. I will never support a language that uses tokenized whitespace as 'Good' aligned.

A big part of the experience is talking to your buddy about the movie after it's over. Hard to do that when you go alone.

The problem is that incandescent lights are 1) warmer in tone, which is less harsh for the same candle ratings, 2) have a more gradual boundary than LED projector-style headlights, which means you aren't suddenly blinded when the car coming towards you goes over a minor bump, and 3) aren't a point light-source with the reflector design they have unlike LEDs, and thus are less painful. NONE of these issues are dealt with in a vast majority of new cars (adaptive-angle headlamps would do a lot to help, but would only fix one of the three issues - and only when the camera can actually figure out when they should be lowering the angle, which is far from foolproof).

If I could easily replace the LED headlamp in my new car with an incandescent lamp, I would - because I could still see decently with my old car's headlights, and I wasn't at risk of blinding everyone in the oncoming lane next to me.

Oh, it's completely the fault of the voters. It's also the fault of the DNC's messaging. The crappy economy (job markets and inflation/unchecked price gouging) meant that the uninformed were just voting for "Not the Party that's Currently In Power" because the cost of groceries and rent was outstripping their paychecks, and the messaging coming from the DNC was completely tangential to that.

Regular everyday Joes don't follow politics. Just because we do doesn't make us representative of the general population. That sort of thinking is what made Trump's victory a surprise - both times.

From the linked article - yes, hate speech is protected, however harassment isn't.

The judge in OP's case ruled that it was harassment, so the school was well within its rights to eject the parents.

I'm pretty sure astronauts are trained on the usage of garbage receptacles.

The air filters would capture it eventually. It's not like the ISS has dead air.

I want to get off Mr. Bones' Wild Ride...

I mean, the same goes for a login. People share Steam accounts too.

That implementation of NFTs was a total scam, yes. There are some cool potential applications for NFTs ... but mostly it was a solution looking for a problem. Even situations where it could be useful - like tracking ownership of things like concert tickets - weren't going to fly, because the companies don't want to relinquish control of the second-hand marketplace. They don't get their cut that way.
