I don't understand why this is being downvoted. I would love if metric were used universally, but I don't really see any difference between that and wanting a single language to be…

Sweden has no inheritance or wealth tax.

I have always been very careful with git histories and often rewrite/squash them before final review/merge. Often my rewritten histories have nothing to do with the original histor…

Identification often isn't ever checked when flying within Europe _today_. They just check your ticket. That said you're certainly not getting near any gates without a ticket in Eu…

The fact that it's still used in many places obviously means it's not unbearable. Besides if you're bothered by the dust you can use the water cleaning methods described in this ve…

I enjoy using chalkboards so much more than whiteboards. Other than the chalk dust, I just can't understand how anyone would prefer whiteboards over chalkboards.

The irony is that if Tylenol use in pregnancy actually does increase the risk of autism, RFK's destruction of trust in the government's scientific process will probably just push t…

> But having a persistent notification to turn on iCloud is good for the user so they don’t lose irreplaceable pictures. Are you saying it's not okay for a user to decide they just…

I'm not sure where you're getting your information, but this is a quote from the European Commission itself: > The political agreement of 27 July 2025 is not legally binding. Beyon…

Then I think you just don't have much imagination. I have recovered files in /tmp after turning off a machine by booting it back up in single-user mode and accessing the data befor…

I can't speak for the other poster, but I like the idea a lot. Having tools with specific purposes means I can avoid using my phone for everything. No matter what games I play to r…

Why would this post be flagged? It could of course just be automatic due to disingenuous flagging by users, but any administrator could see there is no reason to flag this and then…

Reading through Kent Overstreet's comments, it seems totally correct to kick bcachefs out of the kernel. His comments demonstrate very clearly that he's not able to work under the …

I'm pretty sure we've actually known this since time immemorial. Property, contract, etc. are all legal constructs. Talking about free markets (or whatever approximation to "free" …

The presidency is only legally afforded some powers. The issue here isn't Trump's fulfilling of campaign promises. The issue here is if Trump is following the law while doing so.

"Apparently..." would have been the perfect way to describe my reaction. I didn't realize that "cover me" meant "lay down suppressing fire" to Marines. I guess it makes sense, but …

> "Go out and talk to people" isn't valid advice. It's never been, but in 2025 finally even the mainstream is slowly admitting that this doesn't work. It continues to work for me i…

I presume in that case each meeting would just stretch to 10 over the hour.

I'm not the poster you're responding to, but I'll just confirm as a third party that your arguments have been very hard to follow.

Every American should feel ashamed by this national idiocy.

A similar method is in indeed used in many jurisdictions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_limit#Operating_speed There are advantages and disadvantages as with everything.

I already live in the EU so know about a lot of the irritations of being an American abroad, but I was surprised to hear about the whole shifted UK tax year. I am considering a mov…

So you do think that Texas Christian University should lose all federal funding until it proportionally represents all Americans' political beliefs?
