Luckily the courts are smarter than that.

I am an actual hw/fw reverse engineer and my brain hurts from having read that chatlog. The naive patching of "all occurences" of the bytes 0101 to 0000 "if found near SecureBoot strings" only worked because of pure luck, and surely made a whole lot of other things crap out.

Of course, but most people will prioritize their own family members over others. It's an explanation, not an argument against being moral.

While true, most of them are likely one paycheck away from having their family living in the streets. That's a powerful deterrent against refusing orders that the US has somehow mastered. That too.

Next time your partner tells someone who didn't already know about the pregnancy, listen carefully to them saying "we're having a baby" and not "I am".

Your biological view of who's carrying is not the same thing, at all, as the joint life-upending experience about to hit both parents. Seeing "having a baby" as something that happens to the woman shows a disassociation/lack of internalization of how both parties are very much involved in this never-ending comittment.

explanation for downvoters:

that was not a comment about apostrophe usage but the fact that in a relationship you're having a baby, not just the woman.

... but maybe you believe that isn't so and then ... you're not either.

This is the decentralized Internet. It will never function exactly as the centralized one.

I'm old enough to have run a Fidonet node. When I moved house, the points under my node had to switch upstream.

We do however need to work on tools to minimize friction when servers change so that users won't need to more than a click or two.

officers were unable to determine whether his improvised crosswalk had been created with permanent paint. Officials determined the crosswalk could not be removed, so city workers covered it with black paint.

Apparently it was very tricky.
