Scary if true, but I'm in the US and everything seems to be working for me. It could have been a temporary bug that was already fixed? Not sure

Nope, you can't assume the - is included in the square if there's no parenthesis around it. The answer is -9. Think of it like "0-3²" which is more obviously -9.
Honestly, I hard disagree. Texting is so inefficient. If I want to have a conversation with someone, I just call them. It's so much easier to just get everything sorted all out at once instead of trying to send messages back and forth and you get distracted and forget to reply. Meh. You can so easily turn a conversation that takes hours, sometimes days into a 2 minute phone call

Philadelphia regional rail: population density and SEPTA’s fiscal crisis - Niskanen Center

Especially in online meetings with no camera. Without seeing body language, I often think people are done talking so I start talking, but they were just resting between sentences. Oof.
Perhaps most mammals and birds understand empathy, but plenty of animals in classes like reptiles, insects, amphibians, don't exert almost any empathy as humans understand it.

Gov. Shapiro orders PennDOT to flex $153 million to SEPTA to stop ‘death spiral'

I might be naïve for getting some hope from this, but I would love to avoid service being cut. I don't really mind if fare gets increased.
Septa could be on par with European cities if it simply reduced its headway on transit. Maybe not on par, but roughly in the same league? I dream of a world where MFL and BSL get dropped down to 3 minute headway, and the busses down to 10-15 minutes.
I know a lot of the US is going backwards but please allow Septa to at least not get worse.

Shapiro says he won’t let SEPTA ‘fail’ as struggling transit agency warns of looming cuts

Am I missing something, why would you get less of any of those in a city? You would definitely go on more walks in a city, and I don't see how water or sleep would change.
Correct me if I'm wrong but can't the president only pardon federal crimes? Unless if this happened on federal land I don't think he can pardon it
To be fair, the word butter is very vague. Shea butter has no milk, apple butter has no milk, etc.
Probably because "grunt" is a sound you usually make when unhappy.
I'm a vegan and I actually partially agree with your sentiment about "quick death + no pain = maybe not too unethical", and that's actually the justification I used for a while to defend why I wasn't vegan.
Just know that this view is not inherently incompatible with veganism. Go vegan because of the way the animals are treated while they're alive. Also, most animals are not killed without suffer.
Cows for meat are possibly the only animal we eat that actually sometimes get decent treatment, if they're pasture raised with no growth hormones. But non vegans act like this is significant. Only about 3% of cows get to live their entire lives on a pasture. I would commend someone if they actually held a strict rule that they only ate pasture raised beef, but I've never met anyone like that. That would mean you could never order beef from a restaurant, you could never eat beef your friends made, etc. unless you're 100% sure it was pasture raised. Because just about every other cow had to live it's entire life in a space so small it can't even turn it's head and doesn't get to see outside.
That being said, virtually every other animal product does not have that going for them. Chicken is never pasture raised (too expensive), their lives are absolutely atrocious and the vast majority of the time they are killed by being hung on an assembly line upside down.
I'm not going to go into all the details but just know that, even if you do hold the belief that it's okay for an animal to die if it is quick and painless, that you can still recognize that veganism is correct.

This has been discussed thousands of times online so I don't feel the need to type out a very long answer.
The pure existence of modern day chickens is animal abuse. The closest known relative to the modern day chicken lays about 10-15 or so eggs a year. Modern day chickens lay eggs daily. It is extremely hard on their body, they have been selectively bred to provide output with no care for their wellbeing.
That being said, if a vegan were to rescue a chicken or something, and it produces eggs, the best you can do is usually feed them back to it. I know that sounds weird but if you feed the chicken back its own eggs, it helps recuperate lost nutrients, and they love it.
