Might have something to do with almost all relevant politicians being in the 1%. Maybe. Possibly.

I feel like it's fine to make up new words or spellings once one has a solid grasp of the language. As long as the new stuff kinda respects the way the language works in general it's fine by me.

Sag das Home Assistant, es scheint für die recht gut zu funktionieren.

Maths always tries to have agreed-upon unambiguous definitions of things, precisely to avoid confusion.

It might well have started our as a sphere. But you also need to rotate pieces in the third dimension of you want to pay the sphere back together.

blaming teenage depression on too much screen time and not enough in-person social contact

That might be a part, but I'd ask you this: When is the last time that mankind truly had hope for the future? This isn't just about individual people - it's the entire media landscape.

This isn't about a time with no worries in their respective present, this is about the future. A couple decades ago there still was genuine hope for the future, an almost certain expectation that the future will be better.

A look at science fiction will confirm that: You get none of the space utopias from the sixties that honestly believed in the goodness of people today. There is only bleak techno dystopia from the nineties onwards, where everybody fends for themselves and no hope for long lasting peace is in sight.

Pretty sure it's short for confront, at least that's how it's commonly used.

That's such an American take. I've not once left within half an hour of everyone being finished eating.

I thought that would be a swan?

That's my whole point; No, more ports isn't more better. If you don't need them they're just more cost, more holes where water/debris can get into the machine, and more wrong holes to plug the charger into. If you do need them, then buy a machine that has them - there are plenty.
