I don’t know how it works in the US but isn’t it normal that child care cost are higher than rent or mortgage? Unless you count as child care older kids (like above 3), you can’t expect a single worker to take care of more than 3 babies, and rent should be around 1/3 of income. So typical cost of daycare for 1 kif should be about typical cost of housing for 1 worker, no? For reference here in France, my mortgage is about 1300€/month and daycare (full time, private) for one child is 1400€/month, (of which about 700€ is paid by the state).
First let me be clear: I’m not a crazy conspiracy person (…on this) I just don’t rely on a municipal well. As far as I know adding fluoride to the private well at my houses is not a thing, good or bad. I did drink municipal water for two years when I lived on campus in college....
Ubuntu has too many problems for me to want to run it. However, it has occurred to me that there aren’t a lot of distros that are like the Ubuntu LTS....
Rocky linux is definitely for desktop too. It was designed as a successor of Centos, which was widely used in medium and big companies. We currently use Rocky 8 where I work. It works fine.
100 is a bit much, a good ebike can cost several thousands. IMHO the main driver for adoption is the availability of dedicated infrastructure. I can afford an EV but chose to use a bike because the infrastructure is excellent where I live and it allows me to avoid traffic and congestion.

Bernard Arnault is lobbying against this law, because his companies make a lot of money in the Asian market, especially in China, and he fears repercussions from the Chinese government and a tariff war.

If WebEx is susceptible to MITM attacks, it shouldn’t be used for sensitive calls. It’s better to use a VPN, but something like this should not happen at all, even without VPNs.
It could be owned by, like, multiple people? Also, a lot of companies in the world, and especially the ones managing costly infrastructure assets, are owned by states (which are a form of “multiple people”).
Unless you plan to retire very early, you should try to learn guitar long before retirement. Learning something, especially music, is much harder when you get older.
J’ai un jean 1083 que je porte très régulièrement depuis environ 1 an (disons 50% du temps). Aucun signe d’usure pour le moment, à voir dans le temps. J’aurais aimé un tissus un peu plus épais, mais les coutures semblent solides.
Does anyone have recommendations for software for physical gamebooks? Most of the IF software (understandably) is focused online on computer based games, but I’m looking for something that will help organize links, has the ability to shuffle passages while maintaining links, and can export to text. Does such a program exist?
It’s a very powerful typesetting system. It can track cross-reference very easily (it was meant for professional scientific publications but it is extremely versatile). There is a gamebook package, but I can’t say whether it matches your needs. You can pretty much do anything with it, but there is a steep learning curve if you want to do something fancy. The TeX stackexchange is a very good place to look for help.
I need some books paywalled behind Oxford Politics Trove and they aren’t on Anna’s lib, Zlib, Libgen, Memory of the World, Aaarg, or the Internet Archive. Not sure to whom else to turn to. I hate that knowledge like this is paywalled, and I highly doubt the authors will be paid if I pay the highway robbery of a price.
