There's less than thirty of these in the wild so seeing one end up as bycatch is a sobering reminder of the consequences of overfishing. If we don't start taking ocean preservation seriously we might at some point find that not just the Virginia-class but all nuclear-powered cruise missile fast attack submarines have gone extinct.

And you can't even safely eat them; they're full of heavy metals like uranium.

Or Garuda. Sure, the theme it applies to KDE by default is pretty garish but nothing keeps you from just going to System Settings and seeing a different theme. Other than that it's basically just Arch with a bunch of stuff preinstalled and some convenience scripts.

Das ist ein Vertreter der Krankenkassen. Aus seiner Perspektive ist die richtige Behandlung, dass man seine Beträge zahlt und nie zum Arzt geht.

I run Garuda on my 16 and my desktop PC.

It's basically a KDE-centric Arch build but with some quality of life tools and XTREME GAMER default theming, plus you're not legally required to say you're using Arch all the time.

No complaints so far. Sure, you're expected to update all packages on your computer about once per day but I find that process to be fairly smooth. You can always configure your desktop to stop looking like a bordello for dragons and I rather like how garuda-update automates some of the housekeeping involved with the package manager.

If I had to pick a different distro I'd probably try out something immutable but so far I have no intention to switch.

I'd argue that simple chores can be used to help inmates get used to structured work as part of a reintegration effort. Of course that only makes sense if reintegration is the main goal of the prison system, which isn't the case in the United States.

In any way, if inmates were to do labor, they'd have to be subject to labor law including worker protections and minimum wage provisions. That would probably require the United States to abolish slavery first, which isn't going to happen anytime soon.

You have to look within Yousef to save Yousef from your other self. Only then will your true self reveal itself.

I wish I was in that position. I never want to hear "good code is its own documentation" ever again.

Good point. It's more of an "allowing them to build nukes" thing than a "teach them to build nukes" one – although the existing nuclear-armed nations could certainly accelerate the heck out of a Ukrainian nuclear program if they wanted.

Neutrality could work if we give Ukraine nuclear weapons and the ability to make more. That's the only thing other than a military alliance that'll reliably keep Russia out of the country.

I get the feeling that nuclear proliferation would not be seen as a desirable solution, though.

Pool toy transformation is a whole thing. I don't quite see the appeal either, although I can see it as a hybrid between latex kink (via the shiny and smooth "skin") and doll kink (which in turn is related to D/s). It seems to be mostly a furry thing.

Also, D&D has a lot of baggage these days.

A friend has been talking about starting a D&D group ever since BG3 dropped and I already have a matching character concept complete with partial backstory. However, between the OGL fiasco and the dubious plans WotC have for D&D 6e I really don't feel like buying the required book or pushing my friend to get his campaign worked out.

Yeah, I agree. You generally want things to be easy to understand, more so if there are significant consequences for getting it wrong. Making sure that allergens are properly listed lowers the risk of someone accidentally buying something they shouldn't.

Also, while this case is pretty obvious, is important to always insist that all major allergens are listed. Otherwise companies will slack off or make bad calls about when an allergen is obvious. It's like with guns: You should always treat them as ready to fire even when you think you know they're not because a mistake might get someone killed.
