Sounds like a great way of making all bureaucracy grind to a halt. How does he expect this will turn out, when even those who support him on this start have to spend a full day in line to renew their driver’s license or file their taxes?
I presume OP works at a decently sized company, and they have magical people like PMs and CSMs that turn customer tantrums into neat little cards that he can push down the kanban.
Google says that “regulatory requirements” have led to this decision, presumably referring to the EU’s Digital Markets Act or other recent legislation. The precise reason isn’t mentioned by Google.
Do you often call the judge by their first name during session, like the nutjob in the article?
You make it sounds like judges are unpredictable despots that demand people to grovel before them, when in fact there’s a very clear procedure that makes things go smoothly. Break that, you’ll regret it. Action, meet consequence.
What the hell is this? A corp not trying to squeeze every single penny they can get out of an IP? Damn commies hope their next game flops so bad they’re back to living in their momma’s basements.
Former President Donald Trump told an entirely fictional story on Saturday about how he had supposedly outwitted his Democratic opponents by releasing “the tape” of the 2019 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that was a key factor in Trump’s first impeachment....
I’m convinced Trump’s mind doesn’t work like that, and that his memories are heavily slanted by how he perceived his role in the event. Others’ roles or the factual details are arranged automatically by his brain to fill this role he sees himself playing.
No one surely ever challenged him on his constant nonsense, so he’s had a lifetime of reinforcement over this behaviour.
As he’s aging however the detachment between his perception and recollection of an event is growing much larger, and the result is these wild made-up tales…

This far down, and you keep demanding that someone answers you about why “they” are liberals, behaving as if the universe owes you answers.
Sympathetic with your deluded but apparently honest ignorance, @RememberTheApollo_ did their best by sharing an anecdote that demonstrates that, while possible that “they” are liberals because the issues directly impacting “them”, that may not necessarily be the case.
Alas, it was then that we came to find that you just wanted to hear yourself talk while petulantly dismissing others’ thoughts.
The story developed unexpectedly however, as this behaviour was accurately and immediately pointed out, and this led to a series of increasingly irate comments, likely caused by a mounting sense of frustration stemming from the inability to rebuff such accurate criticism. We’re sure to see an escalation from the passive aggression initially being employed into more open and direct insults, as a welling sense of dread about being outwitted threatens to set in.
By now it’s clear that it’s your reading comprehension that is lacking, you aren’t fully understanding the responses you’re getting. Perhaps you’re not a native speaker…
Some people seem to have this misconception that “0F cold 100F hot” is somehow an innate or intuitive concept for everyone. It’s not, brother, you just happen to be used to it. I have absolutely no idea if I should wear a coat with 62F or not, or for any other F temperature for that matter.
At least 0C and 100C have very practical references that anyone can recognise, but what the hell even is 0F and 100F?
Also, not sure why you’re trying to shoehorn 0-100F to 0-100C.
When talking about weather, it’s going to be in a range like 0C (cold) / 20C (nice) / 40C (hot), which is equally arbitrary but probably more useful than 0F/50F/100F anyway depending on where you live: my neck of the woods goes to 0C in a harsh winter, and to 40C in the peak of summer.
And do you use F for stuff like cooking? What purpose is 0F or 100F there?
How about stuff like chemistry or physics? I remember formulas in C or K, occasionally having to add 273.5. Is F used, or you just use K/C and convert at the start?
Biden administration calls for developers to embrace memory-safe programing languages and move away from those that cause buffer overflows and other memory access vulnerabilities.
I don’t think the barycentre is inside the sun? Wikipedia says on the barycentre article:
When the less massive object is far away, the barycenter can be located outside the more massive object. This is the case for Jupiter and the Sun; despite the Sun being a thousandfold more massive than Jupiter, their barycenter is slightly outside the Sun due to the relatively large distance between them.[2]
If you want to make a car analogy, it would be like charging with murder some guy that sells cars that everyone knows are stolen, but then he strips down all the parts he can get away with without the client noticing, knowing full well that whoever buys that shit is going to slam into a fucking wall because it ain’t even got brakes.
