No, I think the ones persecuting women for murder for seeking an abortion would be a different agency. ICE will be the ones using this data as a way to target pregnant brown women for deportation.

You get carbonic acid when carbonating water and some people like that taste, for some reason 🤷♂️
I’m one of those people but I couldn’t tell you why either. I just like sour, I guess.
- Comment on The way two of the usb's are one way while the other is another way 3 days ago:
Differentiating the color is one thing, but I feel like flipping the socket over is more for when the device is using the port for some nonstandard purpose (e.g. when you have a port dedicated to plugging in a thumb drive to update the device firmware).
- Comment on The way two of the usb's are one way while the other is another way 3 days ago:
Even if there are good reasons that some motherboard headers can’t all support the newest USB spec (due to bandwidth limitations), AFAIK there’s no good reason for the socket on the case not to support the newer standard. It’s just a few extra wires and a couple grams more plastic, and you can still daisy-chain an old-style connector for motherboards that need it.
Besides, usually the ports intended for the keyboard and mouse would be on the motherboard backplate itself. Front USB ports on the case tend to be used for things that do benefit from the speed, such as flash memory.

A decent-quality digital piano (with weighted keys) has the same “problem,” on purpose.
A cheap electronic “keyboard” is easier (but less musically expressive) in that way.
(What’s really interesting are some of the more exotic electronic keyboards that have features like touch sensors so you can do vibrato, and stuff like that.)

It’s a shame this isn’t a perfect loop.

You skip the winter. For example, maybe you apply it in March, May, July, and September. (Or April, June, August, and October? IDK I don’t actually fertilize my lawn.)

“Duckweed” is named such because ducks like to eat it. I believe aquatic plants like that are a pretty big part of their diet.

Just to be clear, you’re enforcing that we must “respect” the choice to engage in willful delusion in the same way we must legitimately respect traits caused by unchangeable genetics?

You know exactly which one it is. Don’t necro-post to an 8-month-old thread just to play stupid.

It works just fine in KDE (both viewing in Okular and previews/thumbnails in Dolphin). Maybe it’s just GNOME that sucks?

Another reason good urbanism and walkability is super important: the emissions don’t just come from the cars, they come from the excess roads themselves, too.

That wasn’t the first bug; it couldn’t have been because the term hadn’t been coined yet. It was just the first programming mistake.
The first computer bug was found by Grace Hopper, and was caused by an actual insect that had gotten into the machine.

- Comment on Why democrats under Biden administration didn't release Epstein files? 2 weeks ago:
Okay, fine. Then if there was never going to be a prosecution, then there was no impediment to the Biden admin releasing the files.
Which is it: did the Biden administration fuck up by slow-walking the prosecution, or did the Biden administration fuck up by failing to release the files even when it had no intention of prosecuting? Those are the only options!
- Comment on Why democrats under Biden administration didn't release Epstein files? 2 weeks ago:
Did they cover the part about how Biden’s DOJ had absolutely no fucking excuse to take that long to prosecute?
