There's a not uncommon belief that people that have not been exposed to Christianity are exempt from the whole hell thing.

The logical conclusion of that belief is, of course, that evangelising is just about the most evil thing you can do as you are condemning people by removing their exemption. Funnily enough, I never met someone who held that belief that reached that conclusion.

typedef in C just make an alias to the same type. structs have nominal typing though:

// this typedef is optional to avoid having to refer to the struct tag when referencing the types
typedef struct {int} t_0;
typedef struct {long} t_1;

t_0 test() {
  t_1 foo = {1};
  return foo; // error
}

Word. It's not hoarding it's "yeah I'd pay $16 dollars for that one game and I'll give a couple of others a go". I didn't just never get around to Kane and Lynch, I never had any interest in it.

My government, my company, my former university and even my former highschool have all identified "understanding consent" as a significant social problem worthy of significant spending on PSAs and education programmes.

But even as people are learning about how consent is like tea, they are being exposed every day to software and services that treat it as informed consent if you don't dig into settings to disable something, don't actively delete your account when they arbitrarily change their terms of service, or offer a "contract" with a piece of software you've already purchased that you can't negotiate.

It shouldn't need to be said but...you don't get to skip getting informed consent just because it would be difficult or time consuming or annoying or expensive.

In some fields Malinauskus is more right wing than his Liberal party predecessor. Urban development is one of the big ones.

This is the premier who says "urban sprawl is not a dirty word", totally killed the right to protest in South Australia and is dedicated to commercialising the parklands. But he did undo the insane privatisation of the rail system so he's not totally blind to a good thing.

They absolutely do, and you're arguing for the opposite position of the person above you

Sidereal, tropical or anomalistic?

Have a look through the history section. The concept of periodicity substantially predates the quantisation of the atom. The modern table certainly considers atomic orbitals to be key, but the groups were absolutely created based on common properties.

I love this. Is it with reference to anything specific? (Apart from Voyager and its inconsistency ofc)

Lava lamps actually don't have any fans, the motion is driven by convection instead! /jk

Mine (Miele) actually says to close the door completely to reduce the possibility of small children or pets entering. We ignore that bit though.

Settings > [App Compatibility] Include Anti-Features

In case you're curious, the anti-feature is "tethered network services", as it relies on a specific download server for maps. That is inherited from it's progenitor and is planned to be fixed.
