Backwards as in half of foster kids, not half of homeless people.

My biggest problem with that "monstrosity" is that it's ortholinear.

You imply that such a thing being "optimal" is absurd, but if you had infinite usable desk space then what, exactly, would be the argument against it? If space is not a consideration then what does it matter if you don't use every key?

Lots of people like smaller keyboards, and that's perfectly fine. I get it as an aesthetic choice, and for many people it may not impact their daily use at all. But you will not convince me that removing the option of having additional keys for binding is a non-zero cost, even if they're not currently being used.

For what it's worth, I never used anything like that monstrosity, but I was quite happy with my G15 for the time that I had it which had 18 additional keys, plus media control, over a typical full size.

Georgia courts have held that once a baby is ‘born alive and has had an independent and separate existence from its mother’ then what happens to the child (injury or death) will be subject to criminal prosecution,” Warren said.

...then why isn't that what the law says? Basically admits completely by accident that a fetus isn't a person. But you don't get to control people that way.

You don't hear much about good tenants or landlords for two reasons.

One is of course the simple matter that people who are content tend to be quieter. Same reason that it's easier to find complaints about most products.

The other is reduced exposure. Good tenants will generally stay in one place longer and good landlords will retain tenants for longer periods as well. So you end up with just fewer people to even potentially say anything about them, good or ill.

Canada can also meet most or all of its own dairy needs. There's no reason a Canadian should be buying dairy from other countries aside from a few niche/luxury products, so that tariff is fine.

Charging tariffs on things a country needs to import is crazy.

I don't really like Discord, but it supports message pinning, threaded conversation, as well as a full blown discussion forum option for community channels. Your complaints seem to be more about the moderation of that specific community than Discord itself.

You stated the reason yourself. Those are different values and matching in a case-insensitive manner is more work under the hood.

I'd be interested to see the actual wording of the agreement for that extra $11 million that was allegedly "defrauded". Was it actually stipulated that the money had to be spent on the series, or did he just walk up to Netflix like "give me $11,000,000 and I'll complete the series."

The actual issue at hand seems to be that the series was never completed more so than what the money was used on.

My first read of this headline had me thinking "that's strange, gendered bathrooms are still pretty normal, they can't possibly have been banned, could they?"

...it hadn't even passed within miles of my mind that this was talking about racial segregation. I can't even comprehend this level of regression.

What could possibly be in the vaccines that would be worse than your child no longer existing?

The article says the man is a Mennonite, which means he probably believes in an afterlife. In his mind his child still exists and he'll get to see her again when he passes and spends eternity there.

I pretty firmly believe that afterlife beliefs account for a pretty significant distortion of values in people and helps explain a large number of frankly insane behaviours. Preventing deaths becomes much less important when there's an eternal paradise waiting for you and the "real" risk is doing something that bars you from going there.
