This is surprisingly low. If the average family put all their expenses on a card and pays it off every month it won’t be far off this.

What is the average amount that people are actually paying interest on?

That problem happened because there was no way to travel from town to town quickly so if the clocks were off nobody cared. The trains changed that.

If it were codified like this as law everywhere, people would accept it better. The rule breaking is what pisses a lot of people off. It would be much more predictable and safer too.

Our road system, retirement benefits, health system (except USA), public school system, national parks are all socialist.

Shutting every complaint down with ‘racist’, ‘fascist’, ‘nazi’ etc. is why far right parties are rising. It is time to stop acting like middle schoolers and allow people to voice concerns and have debate, lest they vote far right as the only alternative. Nobody wants that.

There is no need for a separate sound card now, it is built in.

How long it lasts. Year after year after year. No end in sight. No summer, winter or spring breaks. One vacation a year and a few sick days.

If a reply to you is non federated, then you get a notification you can neither clear nor read. That little ‘1’ will be there forever.

Alice, the secretary?

It would be easier to allow you to fully block the 2 instances it comes from.

Dynamically typed languages don’t scale. Large project bases become hard to maintain, read and refactor.

Basic type errors which should be found in compilation become runtime errors or unexpected behavior.

Add YAML to that for the same reason.

Christmas.

An environmental impact study on this would be interesting.

If you fine people based on their bank balance, you end up fining careful savers, not rich people with shell companies.

The best way to achieve the same goal for the more major fines is with custodial sentences. E.G. 2 weeks for drinking and driving.

And for the more minor traffic stuff with points and bans. If every one has the same number of points and gets the same ban, it is fairer

Active Directory, for joining an account in a network.

It is probably Home vs. Professional. Home has no AD either.

It would be nice if you could block a community directly from the front page without having to navigate to it first. Whole instances would also be useful.

From Wikipedia

“With a population of 60 million in the late 18th century, the species was culled down to just 541 animals by 1889 as part of the subjugation of the Native Americans,”

From USDA

“There are 30.1 million beef cows in the United States as of Jan. 1, 2022, down 2% from last year.Jan 31, 2022”

It was a factor of 2, not 3.

Note: the dairy industry is much worse.

It largely depends on the way the meat is produced.

You may have beef that is corn fed so you use all the energy of multiple times more corn production and transport to feed them vs. just eating the corn.

Or you may have ranched grass fed beef that eats grass in a field that required nothing other than a fence. No plowing, destroying soil with pesticides and running heavy machinery. A few hundred years ago there were 3 times more roaming bison than there are cows in the US today, so gas isn’t really an issue.

Best reason to go cut down on meat is for health reasons. And be careful of where your meat is sourced.

Correction: it is a factor of 2 not 3. See reply for source.
