I’m not sure Texas is thinking this through. We’d build a wall and make them pay for it…

Not OP, but I think we’d be friends. I want left (no pun intended) alone to live my own life, but I don’t think people should be left to die because of the machine we’re in. I believe your rights extend to the point they interact with mine and vice versa. You’re rights can’t prevent mine and vice versa.
Neat if it happens, but it won’t change any opinions. Those already anti-Trump will point to it as another example of how corrupt Trump is and those already pro-Trump will point to it as an example of how the government is out to get him.
I fell asleep during it in the theater. It was so insanely boring.
My answer won’t be as popular, but it’ll definitely get the attention of the right people on the customer’s side: charge HANDSOMELY for issues caused due to customers using the systems outside of agreemed to or published best practices.
Without teens and boomers, social media would be dead.

Oh boy, let me tell you about the Presidential power that I’m most scared of: the President has 90 days to get Congressional approval for war. The idea being it used to take a long time to get people together to vote on things and even longer to mobilize. These days, though, you can conquer a country in under 90 days…
Provoked Gamer is pretty baller. Are you asking for a friend?
American here.
I’m all for minorities and other groups struggling for equality arming themselves. It is a lot harder for the government to stomp on your rights when they have to worry about you fighting back.
It wasn’t that long ago the government used airplanes to bomb its own citizens…
Until America addresses it’s police problem, which I propose stems from an ongoing inequality problem, the American public needs a way to defend itself.
Why are the Nordic countries so high?
Prefacing this question with the fact I’m an Android user and have never owned an iPhone. Saying this in the hopes people won’t think I’m an Apple fanboi trying to make a point…
I haven’t been that interested in the EU legislation around this until now; I’m curious what happens when something comes out that is better than USB-C? Are companies stuck until new legislation is passed or is there some sort of auto update to the standard written in?
Unless I’m misunderstanding how this whole thing works, it’d depend on the instance and community, wouldn’t it? If I set up my own instance, I can setup my own rules for the communities that might start there. Those community leaders may opt to set rules stricter than the instance rules.
If you go crazy enough, you get defederated like North Korea…
Can’t. He was born in South Africa.
(Getting this out of the way first: I’m not a Trump supporter.)
Convicted felons can and have run for President in the past. Some campaigns have even been run from prison. Disqualifying somebody from running for office because of a conviction is extremely easy to weaponize. It’s the next step in removing somebody’s right to vote because of a conviction (a thing we do/have done and shouldn’t).
I agree with you on the age thing, though. If you can vote, you should be able to hold office.
I’m extremely pro-WFH for professions that can. I’ve been doing it for 10 years and it has only gotten better since others started to experience it and have empathy for what it means to be a remote worker. Just getting that out of the way before chatting more about hidden difficulties of converting buildings to residential use…
I can’t speak for European office buildings (your use of “flats” has me assuming you’re on the other side of the pond from me), but a large number of US buildings would either have to be 100% gutted back to the main supporting beams OR pulled down and rebuilt. Issue here is a combo of proper placement of utility lines (mostly plumbing) within the building and the added weight residential use brings rather than business use.
Large office leases here have a lot of control over how their floors are laid out, but floor planning normally takes electrical runs into consideration and will leave spaces like kitchens and bathrooms unmoved. Executive offices and other private interior spaces can be created/adjusted by making interior walls and tying into electrical connections already in a floor or drop ceiling.
Plumbing is a whole other monster and takes a lot more work. Not an insurmountable consideration, just harder.
The weight of residential living is one I hadn’t considered until someone pointed it out to me. In addition to all the additional plumbing needed (whose pipes add tonnage by the time you’ve converted a building), you also have to consider water within those pipes, and if a lot of people run their kid’s evening bath around 7 PM, that’s even more tonnage, normally all in a similar vertical line because of repeated floor plans. A lot of corporate buildings here, esp older ones, just weren’t engineered for that and a lot would need significant remediation to support it.
I have way less to say about the super cancers… We did use a LOT of asbestos as we built up urban areas, though.
Ah, so very similar to what Amazon did with Sidewalk a few years back. I shocked people are ok with allowing this data through their devices. Sidewalk caused a massive backlash because of privacy and data rate concerns.
I’m not a big Apple person, so I’ve not really cared about Airtags, so I’m probably missing something. If I don’t allow them to connect to my device, how are they a concern?
Edit: I realized I asked my question poorly. I get they’re a tracking device. My understanding is they’re a Bluetooth device that do not have direct Internet access on their own; how is their location being updated if you’re not pairing with them to allow them access to your device?
Imo, nobody won here and the reddit user lost everything. The Fediverse wasnt ready for the influx of users and lost its chance to “win” for a long time. The sites couldn’t support the load and there was a lack of polished mobile apps that felt familiar to people that wanted to browse and shit post.
Without content – without interaction, a platform whithers; and my experience, so far, has been comment oasises while scrolling through pages of desert.
I can’t see it because it can’t see me.
