Stoves that kill their users should be a violation of the Harm principle. If this isn't hyperbole then please provide a link to libertarians advocating this — I'm curious to see if/how they've carved an exception or otherwise addressed it or weaseled out of it; please link.

Some apps (e.g. Microsoft Word) override ctrl+shift+v.

Ah, someone with experience with Solid Explorer. I'm hopeful you might be a power user.

Long ago, I looked into it, but was dissuaded because the details views therein seemed to waste vertical whitespace. An absurdly small font, close to the bottom of the icon to maximize empty vertical space, was used for details (at least datestamp, I think).

Is that still the case? Have they added a method to increase the font size of the details without also increasing (or perhaps simultaneously decreasing) the filename's font's size? I couldn't find one when I tried it last.

If there's an interview with the creators wherein they extol the virtues of vertical whitespace within an item, or if some reviewer has done that for them, I'd love a link or two to read about it, see what I'm missing.

I'm sure the functionality is great. It's the presentation I didn't like. But perhaps there are unintended consequences of a compact layout…

"the left", eh? You are aware that plenty of people on "the right" allege things in social media that they would never put in a court filing, yes?

He declined to execute the withdrawal, it didn't happen during the Trump administration.

Wars ended: 0.

After Musk testifies before House or Senate under oath, your transparency claims might become valid. Until then…

Please name/link the wars that ended during his administrations. Why can't the sports leagues decide who participates via their own rules?

For much of our history, people didn't live long. There's a cost for so much safety and longevity that didn't exist back then.

I was going to mention that if you're out and about, StreetComplete and Every Door and MapComplete are excellent for gamifying casual contributions. OsmAnd has savable custom searches.

But if you're wanting to compare, I'm gussing you might be wanting more than opening hours and cuisine, perhaps reviews?

A little more clarity: where you see "esri" in the lower right corner, the full image says "POWERED BY esri". In other words, ESRI is the platform, not the publisher. It's similar to use of Leaflet or OpenLayers for "powering" (providing the architecture to display) a rendering of OpenStreetMap tiles.

Gerrymandering would only change a state's electoral college votes meaningfully in one or two states.

It's more often an issue of:

  1. Citizen becomes voter via "motor-votor" registration.
  2. Later, state sends postcard asking to confirm voter's address.
  3. Voter sees postcard, looks like junkmail or fraudulent mail, discards without response.
  4. State, not checking anything else, drops voter from roll.

The Palestinian people who are not US citizens do not get a vote at all.

Here you assume that there are no Palestinian Americans, very racist.

This is an illogical misinterpretation. Consider a Venn diagram of Palestinians and US Citizens. The intersection is obviously not the empty set. That initial sentence you quoted is describing the set of Palestinians minus said intersection. You even betray your misinterpretation by quoting "Palestinian people who were US citizens" between accusations of racism.

Much of the rest of your comment similarly falls apart from this illogical misinterpretation.
