Also, those statements appear to conflict. Why are they automatically excluding 'sensitive professions' yet stating 'it depends on the seriousness of the crime'?

The black cruiser from before the fall of the Hegemony in the Hyperion Cantos tends to be the one that appears in my dreams the most, even 30 years later. Also the fucking tree ships.

Yum.

Had to get that in before the vegan appears to bring everyone down.

I had a OnePlus One, and a 5, and I'm currently rocking a 9Pro. Fantastic phone, great photos, I don't mind OxygenOS. The only problem I have is because it's not supported by carriers in Canada (had no problems in the US), VoWIFI can be flaky which sucks.

What, specifically, are the issues you have with holding parents accountable for the actions of their children?

New research also suggests that “truancy” is an arbitrary metric. The term refers to unexcused absences, but California gives individual schools substantial flexibility to determine what constitutes a valid excuse. (Certain reasons, like illnesses and religious observances, are always valid by law.)

And:

Shayla frequently missed school because she was in too much pain to leave the house or was hospitalized for long-term care. Her school was aware of these circumstances; it had records on file from the regional children’s hospital explaining that Shayla’s condition would necessitate unpredictable absences and special educational accommodations. Peoples and the school had worked together to set up some of those accommodations, which are required under federal disability law. At the time of her arrest, Peoples claims she was fighting with the school to get it to agree to additional accommodations under an Individualized Education Plan, which she said the school had rejected.

So basically, it's the school at fault here. Right?

If your child is missing 80 out of 180 days of school, you're doing a bang up job as a parent.

OceanGate CEO Bragged About Using Expired Carbon Fiber to Build Doomed Sub (futurism.com)

New evidence strongly suggests that OceanGate’s submersible, which imploded and killed all passengers on its way to the Titanic wreck, was unfit for the journey. The CEO, Stockton Rush, bought discounted carbon fiber past its shelf life from Boeing, which experts say is a terrible choice for a deep-sea vessel. This likely...

I'm saddened by the amount of taxpayer money that was spent searching for 5 millionaires who went missing while on a joyride in a test vehicle.

I tried Win11 for a month before switching back. The completely unnecessary changes to the Start and right click menus killed it for me.

It felt like I'd taken my car into the shop for an engine tune-up and it came out with a square steering wheel and the gas/brake pedals were reversed.

I left Reddit and deleted my accounts a few hours after the subs went dark and my feed dried up. I don't use mobile apps, I have no horse in that race at all.

It just wasn't an enjoyable place to be anymore, and that's all because of spez.

Best part of the article:

“If this community remains private, we will reach out soon with information on what steps will take place,” Reddit said in a message to a small subreddit called Hentai_in_Peril

Is it though? It kind of feels like you broke up with someone but are still getting constant updates about who they're currently fucking the minute you left.

I guess that's some people's kink.

You can try RealBasic or TCL/TK, though I haven't used either of them in over a decade.

Or when CallerID was an additional $8/month. It's fucking DNS for telephone numbers. Can you imagine if ISP's had charged extra for DNS and everyone decided to just memorize IP addresses instead?

Those statements conflict though. If the store buys thinner plastic bags to reduce costs, and more plastic is ending up in landfills as a result, then the store would have to be spending more on plastic bags.

BaconIsAVeg,

Right, but the volume of plastic entering landfills would have to be less now. While I appreciate that someone buying a half dozen peaches or tomatoes might need to double bag, the main purpose of those bags (at least in my mind) is to keep the contents separate from the other shopping items.

No one wants their lettuce brushing up against that box of laundry detergent, or their plastic wrapped chicken leaking all over a a loaf of bread.

How screwed am I?

I started working for a big corporation about six months ago. Turns out a few months before I started there was a new CTO hired from a startup. This CTO has been on a hiring spree and basically hired all of the technical staff of the startup he came from (to the point that they're suing the company I work for)....

The biggest problem with that approach is your team loses their roadmap, funding for new initiatives, and ambition while that's happening. Your sprint backlog has nothing but minor tech deficit tickets in it, and overall it becomes a chore to get anything done.
