Yes, plus migrant labor. I imagine most countries that skew male are only a percent or two off. The major outliers are the Persian gulf nations, because they are tiny and rich. All those extra men are migrant workers from poorer nations, sending money back home.
Sony hasn't done the paperwork to officially do business in those countries, so you can't make a psn account. And because Sony is intent on forcing psn accounts, it leads to this stupid situation where those countries are locked out, despite Steam supporting them.
Only problem is streaming services like Amazon that purposefully limit the quality on Linux.
That's a major part in the Ender's Game series. They have faster than light communication, but the ships travel at like 90% the speed of light. So when traveling between planets, it's like a two week trip to the people traveling, but 20 years on planet.
The main character Ender travels often, so he is only 35 in the second book, a couple thousand years after the first book.
It's a thing, it's just run by the same companies, so you're stuck with them either way.
Plus, with everything moving to streaming, satellite TV just isn't as relevant. You end up dealing with the same cable companies for internet regardless.
Unfortunately, that isn't feasible in the current system. In first past the post every vote is damage control at best.
We need ranked choice voting everywhere before people will even consider a third party.
Yep. They rewrote the progression/leveling system like 5 times.
Yes.
The only added flavor in standard chocolate chip cookie dough is vanilla. Plus the chocolate chips.
Of course people don't usually think about it like that because vanilla is in nearly all baked sweets.
Yep, the captchas are great. I've got mine set to an NFC card in another room. It forces me to get out of bed and walk to another room to tap my phone on it to turn off the alarm.
Endeavour's current iso is still KDE 5 and X11, but if you do an online install it will default to 6 and Wayland. Just make sure to connect to the Internet before starting the installer.
The word "protects" seems almost intentionally misleading here. They are talking about changing zoning requirements to allow for higher density housing, instead of forcing single family home suburbs.
I think they're rationalizing it by saying that's a juvenile sandworm. The larger one with the round mouth is fully grown.
They probably just wanted a design difference between a smaller human scale threat and the massive ones that eat entire structures like spice harvesters.
Spotify has almost every song on the planet
Until a contract negotiation with UMG goes south and they lose half the catalog overnight. See what's happening on tiktok right now for a good example of this.
I understand the convenience draw, but I'm not a fan of continually paying for content that can disappear at any moment.
Yes, but the word rewrite implies that it would serve the same function and retain compatibility.
If someone wrote a new implementation of the x protocol, as a drop in replacement for the existing x.org server, you might call that a rewrite.
Wayland is an entirely different solution to the same problem. It doesn't follow the x protocol, and doesn't maintain compatibility with the x.org server.

They were buying water from Detroit's water system. In order to save money, they switched to getting it from the nearby river, but they failed to account for how the new water source would interact with their pipes. They didn't treat the new water correctly and it corroded all their old lead pipes, dumping lead into the water and giving everyone lead poisoning.
Even years later, after they switched back to Detroit water, they're still having problems because the damage to the pipes is already done.
I get why you would want that, but I think that would end up causing other weird issues. Like what happens when someone from that instance is in the middle of a comment chain? Would it cut off the thread there, or would there just be a comment missing?
I'll take the simple solution over no solution.
I disagree. Not everyone wants to spend the time to completely customize their system. Distros like Manjaro and Endeavor give people a decent "just works" install while still giving them experience with the Arch ecosystem. The forums are usually a good resource, and everything on the arch wiki still applies. It might just be because I had previous linux experience, but I've learned a lot running Manjaro.
The average person is not going to jump straight into vanilla Arch as their first distro, but after a couple years with Manjaro, they might try it.
They're referring to the third stanza of the original lyrics.
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion, A home and a country should leave us no more? Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps pollution. No refuge could save the hireling and slave, From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave, And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave, O'er the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.
After a quick skim of the wikipedia article, the meaning seems to be a mixed bag, but most agree he was referring to the British, who fought with ex-slaves and had a history of pressganging at the time. Not saying Francis Scott Key was perfect or anything, but it seems more anti british than pro slavery.
Also worth noting all of this is not in the modern version most people hear. Almost all modern versions stop after the first stanza.
