Sure, previous status quo was pretty much that practically. The "totally won't remove abortion protection" suprem court remove that middle ground.

The obvious issue here is that conservative pro-life is nit about life, it is about punishing women. They don't care about anyone born.

When I see all these "phone ban" experiments, I always wonder, is the phone that's the issue, or is it the apps/websites tailored for engagement (a.k.a addiction)?

Maybe instead of banning kids from using phones, they should consider banning companies from making their apps addictive on purpose.

Banning phones is the practical policy. Schools could not police the myriad of apps and websites.

Your comment somewhat illustrates the point. It disparages those who voted for Brexit instead of trying to understand them, which is a recipe for eventual failure as we've seen.

Judging by this thread, it's still not possible to have a discussion on this...

There was nothing coherent to understand. A rag tag coalition mainly built on delusional positions.

- we can have all the trade benefits without freedom of movement (specifically denied by EU at the time, didn't materialise)

- we will have 'more trade' afterwards (fails to understand how trade works)

- we won't have to follow EU rules (in reality, we can't really diverge that much from how the EU works without incurring penalties)

- we won't have to pay anything to them / we hold all the cards / ... (we did pay for our liabilities and we definitely didn't hold the cards)

- we can become much more left wing if we leave the neoliberal EU (fails to account for the fact our country isn't particularly left wing overall)

- politicians will have to take responsibility/can't blame the EU (brexiteers keep blaming the EU even now, BJ et.al. have faced minimal or no consequences for their actions)

- we can fish again (ignores relative importance of fishing vs the actually productive economy, disregards that EU is a big market for said fish)

What do you suggest we engage with?

XP x64 was a lovely desktop, and was essentially 2k3 desktop. Last Windows system I enjoyed using.

What you've written is exactly what happened in the UK during the Brexit referendum. The lessons still haven't been learned.
d4rti · 10 months ago
What happened is that the remain side had to fight on the side of a reality that existed and the Brexiteers made up a fantasy future that has failed to materialise.

For more on how modern engines work (although the core idea of alpha-beta pruning [1] is still used) you can check out the chess programming wiki [2].

I suspect the “l” parameter is for observed latency as the client displays observed latency from the server.

Note that by fund distribution, Firefox is not the main product of Mozilla. There are zero browser engines that are the main product of their owning companies.

A strange thing is you can specifically donate to Thunderbird, but not to Firefox.

I never quite understood why Mozilla seems more interested in other things vs Firefox (the browser, not the other Firefox branded things).

I assume the executables won't run on ARM platforms? So modern Macs are out, etc.

Works for sure:

  Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
