Apathy is absolutely the problem, but "just" getting out there and voting means replacing them with whatever new asshats the existing donor class selects for you. Actual change is going to require voting, and then getting back out there the next day (and every day thereafter) to hold their feet to the fire through direct action, strikes, organizing, protests, call campaigns, and every other tool at our disposal. Pretending otherwise is almost as much of a disservice as the "voting changes nothing argument.

That said, there is a way of not voting that DOES make a difference. Politicians DO pay attention to the differences between votes for various party members on the same ballot. So if you really can't stomach voting for someone, voting for down (or up) ballot races and leaving that one office blank tells them their policies are unpopular with voting members of "their own" party - and that WILL scare them in a way that low turnout won't.

Assuming this is USA, the phrase you're looking for is "Am I being detained, or am I free to go?"

For a more detailed answer, this is what the ACLU has to say.

And the ICJ didn't dispute that. They said that the convention the case was brought under defines "financing" as money only, so supplying weapons and training camps doesn't qualify as "financing".

Off topic, but as a pen lover - those are lovely! Especially enjoyed the shaping of the left ones.

He was an absolute treasure.

You have to skip the pretzel factory episode for the meme to hold though - they go into the whole history of the christian origin

Thank you - fixed!

Even more specifically, Calcium Hydroxide is "slaked lime" (also called "pickling" lime, as opposed to the even more caustic "unslaked lime" (Calcium Oxide)

Definitely scrambled. If you freeze as-is, the yolks will gel and remain that way when thawed.

Your other option is water glassing rather than freezing, but that only works with fresh, unwashed egs (not store bought). Also be aware most recipes you will find on the internet are wrong! Proper waterglassing should use Sodium Silicate, not lime (Sodium Hydroxide).

Disturbingly enough, no.

Nope. The math has been done on this many times, and death sentence is more expensive than life without parole. And that's according to the State's own numbers.

You don't need to run an X server on the headless server. As long as the libraries are compiled in to the client software (the GUI app), it will work. No GUI would need to be installed on the headless server, and the libraries are present in any common Linux distro already (and support would be compiled into a GUI-only app unless it was Wayland-only).

I agree that a GUI-only installer is a bad thing, but the parent was saying they didn't know how it could be done. "ssh -X" (or -Y) is how.
