    I was wrong, I could be bothered. None of the alternatives were really great or obviously a better word. Closest I came up with was "quality erosion", but it doesn't convey the same feeling of anger and sadness.

    I question those studies. It's way easier to get someone's attention in office than emailing them 3-4x. Additionally teamwork definitely increases when you work face to face at least sometimes.

    He probably wanted to prevent significant arcing by using a higher impedance test apparatus due to the high voltage.

    Yes, of course its theft. Taking what doesn't belong to you is theft. Don't you realize the government also pays itself? Their token "altruism" allegedly "helping people" is a charade to assuage ignorant people. Most members of the US congress make 2-3× what average citizens make base, plus tons more in bribery money and insider trading. Don't even get me started on the absurd amount of stolen money that flows into the coffers of military manufacturing contracting. It's amazing how willing people are to just happily accept 30%-50% of their working hours go to feed those government fat cats.

    That's not the definition of freedom. Freedom means you can act or speak without opposition from the state. If the state provides someone with a "free" service and money, that means they took it from someone else, which is theft. We shouldn't encourage one megacorp like the government to increase their theft levels, rather turn to voluntary charity organizations.

    Increasing taxes will just end up going to wasteful or corrupt things, like the weapons manufacture industry. It's not the solution the left is looking for. Need more regulation on government spending first. Then see if you need more tax income.

    The logic in the flowchart appears to take in data and mainuplate it based on normalization and ratios to fill the day. So it outputs a report with time that doesn't precisely match the tracked data, but looks nicer for the boss.

    Ok, technically still vulnerable in the sense that if you transfer a huge file in excess of other parts of the bundle, it might be identifiable by a bad actor, but that's really misleading, since i2p has a lot of built in logic that makes that scenario pretty unlikely.

    I think it's more of a problem with over regulation. The U.S. healthcare system suffers from a lack of market freedom. While some may argue for more government intervention or even a single-payer system, many of the inefficiencies could be resolved by removing excessive regulation and encouraging more competition. A true free-market approach, with more choices and price transparency, could lower costs and improve care quality—something over-regulation has failed to achieve.

    Ubuntu used to do ads pretty well, even before microsoft got better at them, haven't used that distro in a while, so can't confirm if that's the case still, but you might want to check it out.

    Seems more reasonable than taxing unrealized gains, although I'd prefer if the debate was on how to cut absurd amount of spending rather than trying to find new tax streams.

    Does anyone have recommendations for software for physical gamebooks? Most of the IF software (understandably) is focused online on computer based games, but I'm looking for something that will help organize links, has the ability to shuffle passages while maintaining links, and can export to text. Does such a program exist?
