I’ve always tried to tell my SO this, but she’s been skeptical. Now, we’re renting a smaller apartment while renovating our bath, and she absolutely detests having only one sink basin!
You jest, but…

In a community there will always be some sort of law or code, whether written or not, that some members of that community disagree with.

First past the post will always drift toward larger and less representative parties. Even proportional representation can have this tendency, but it is much more resilient.

No. This is what happens when you have two sides, both too large to really represent anyone, battling for a sliver of majority using increasingly diverging views and then exercising as much power as they can before the roles flip again.
In an actual democracy representatives of the people, with many differing views, sit down together and decide case by case on a solution that most can be happy with.
Someone will always disagree with any decision when we live in a large society, but a functioning democracy is the closest thing we have ever come to making sure that as many as possible are happy (and more importantly get a say).
Username checks out, I guess?
He made an appearance at Easter mass yesterday.

The last three are just plain sensible, though! Okay, maybe not socialize veterinary medicine, although we could probably afford it if we beheaded the billionaires…

Just quality of life-stuff like renaming downloads and getting summary previews when hovering search results. I have a suspicion they’ll push it farther with Dia, though…

I don’t disagree with your point about ergonomics, but I just wanted to point out that feet can have pretty different shapes. My feet look very different than yours, with the three first toes nearly the same length. I’d probably be miserable in the shoes in your picture.
Aww man, Red Faction was an awesome game! Didn’t the rail gun also have an infrared scope that could see through walls?

In fact, the article says they have already opposed the suggestion.
Speaking of which, here is a helpful manual.

They are blaming the billionaires (or their companies), for making the thing nobody wanted so they can make money off of it. The guy making a five-breasted woman is a side effect.
And sure, that one image only uses a moderate amount of power. But there still exists giant data centers for only this purpose, gobbling up tons of power and evaporating tons of water for power and cooling. And all this before considering the training of the models (which you better believe they’re doing continuously to try to come up with better ones).
