Guy buying condoms? He's hoping to get some.

Guy buying tampons? He's definitely getting some.

How about we give parents one extra vote per child.

But they have to wait 18 years to use it.

And they can't directly use it, it's more that they get a delegate of sorts.

And this delegate


let's call them, I dunno, ~~their kid~~ "offspring voter"


isn't legally bound to vote one way or another.

And how about this person votes in a manner that in some way reflects how they were raised, and their worldy experiences


possibly voting exactly as the parents would, or possibly exactly opposite, or anywhere in between.

Having survived grad school and then some without a dishwasher, I will never look at loading/unloading the dishwasher as a chore; it is a privilege to do so (and is always followed by a heartfelt Thank You to that most selfless of appliances).

Hilarious to me that it OCRs the text. The text is generated by the computer. It's almost like when Lt. Cmdr. Data wants to get information from the computer database, so he tells the computer to display it and just keeps increasing the speed


there are way more efficient means of getting information from A to B than displaying it, imaging it, and running it though image processing!

I totally get that this is what makes sense, and it's independent of the method/library used for generating text, but still...the computer "knows" what it's displaying (except for images of text), and yet it has to screenshot and read it back.

If the research was conducted with public money, it should be freely accessible by the public, change my mind...

Lights on boat began to flicker before incident, suggesting some sort of power failure. Steering a full size car without power steering is possible, but spoiler, steering a huge container ship ain't.

Someone commented that exhaust increased noticably as well, possibly because pilot put ship in reverse after losing power (with prop walk veering the ship into the support).

All just people talking on the Internet at present, but "asleep at the wheel" isn't necessarily what happened.

Not to be that guy...but there are no WireGuard servers or clients, only peers. Some setups "look" like clients, some "look" like servers, but it's peers all the way down.
