Add an extra column to the right side of the board.

I'm one that finds the GNU/Linux naming annoying. I think calling it that is mostly silly, and am mostly annoyed at people who militantly argue it's the only way to describe a Linux OS (which aren't as common as they used to be).

To me, it's just overly verbose and pointless. For the most part, the GNU part has been implied for pretty much any mainstream form of Linux for decades. And even if it wasn't, who cares? Like, you wouldn't say that you run KDE/X11/wpasupplicant/neovim/docker/pacman/paru/systemd/GNU/Linux... Just saying KDE on Arch Linux is simpler and far more informative.

Pretty sure this isn't real guys. There's no "Do not thaw pizza" clause.

That design is awful

Our butter stick wrappers have volume measurements on them. I've never melted butter to measure it.

He often presents populist ideas, even when they aren't in line with his normal rhetoric.

I think he does it to grab attention or appeal to people with that idea. He then spews a ton of well-polished half-truths and straight lies to make whatever point he was after in the first place.

It's not uncommon for anyone to agree with a sentence or two from him out of context, but in context, it's all garbage.

Generally, yeah. The way they worked with Mick Gordon last game was awful though.

That's still a fallacy. Even if all A are B, that doesn't mean all B are A.

Same fallacy structure that's clearly false: All nazis were white, so all white people are nazis.

Correct. Amish are Mennonites who shun other Mennonites. The elders of their church decide for the local congregation what is and isn’t appropriate conduct. If you disagree, you are shunned.

I know this is pedantic, but that's just not right. Amish and Mennonites are generally distinct. One group does not belong to the other, though some groups in the middle claim to be part of both. Regardless, the umbrella term for both is "Anabaptist".

If the congregation down the road disagrees, those folks are shunned.

I've not known there to be much animosity between neighboring groups, but I guess I haven't witnessed an Amish church split up close. I know they happen though, but all Anabaptist groups in my area are quite friendly with one another.

Shunning seems to be more of a way to have their own members conform to their local rules. They really don't care what others in the community or neighboring Christian groups do. I think it really is a control mechanism -- e.g. "Do things this way or you are going to lose your family/friends/community support".

(Source: My dad grew up Old Order Amish, his family was kicked out of the church (over some farming rules). My grandpa transitioned to be Beachy Amish at some point, while my dad joined a (now progressive) Mennonite church that I grew up and remained in for a long time)

He's probably talking about the article released by Mozilla a few weeks ago.

https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/privacynotincluded/articles/its-official-cars-are-the-worst-product-category-we-have-ever-reviewed-for-privacy/

But basically all car manufacturers have absolutely terrible privacy policies.

Yes, but it only works with the original client. Doesn't appear to work with OpenMW, yet, which is superior in many ways now.

There's a whole segment of the population that lives in a different reality, probably due to right-wing media conditioning.

Show them something well researched, understood, and explained and they're likely to dismiss or reject it. Say something completely bonkers about someone or something they don't like and they'll gobble it up without a second thought.
